In early November 1944, the Great Anti-Fascist People's Liberation Assembly of Serbia (Serbian: Велика антифашистичка народно-ослободилачка скупштина Србије) in Belgrade. It consisted of more than eight hundred delegates, elected throughout liberated regions of Serbia. In order to form permanent representative body, delegates elected 250 representatives, thus constituting the Anti-fascist Assembly for the National Liberation of Serbia. In the same time, they affirmed the policy of reconstituting Yugoslavia as a federation, with Serbia as one of its federal units. Thus was initiated the process that led to the creation of the Federated State of Serbia (Serbian: Федерална Држава Србија), as a federated state within new Democratic Federal Yugoslavia.
