This page provides an overview of copyright rules of Yugoslavia relevant to uploading works into Wikimedia Commons. Note that any work originating in Yugoslavia must be in the public domain, or available under a free license, in both the country of origin and the United States before it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. If there is any doubt about the copyright status of a work from Yugoslavia, refer to the relevant laws for clarification.

The Kingdom of Yugoslavia was formed in 1918 after World War I, originally name the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. It was dissolved in 1941 during World War II, but the Republic of Yugoslavia was formed in 1945 with much the same boundaries. Following the Yugoslav Wars that began in 1991 the country broke into Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Slovenia and Yugoslavia.

This last was renamed the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro in 2003, which broke up into Serbia and Montenegro in 2006. In 2008 Kosovo declared its independence of Serbia. The Republic of Macedonia became the Republic of North Macedonia in 2019. Successor states are thus:

From Successor Copyright rules
1991 Хорватія COM:CRT/Хорватія
1991 Північна Македонія COM:CRT/Північна Македонія
1991 Словенія COM:CRT/Словенія
1992 Боснія і Герцеговина COM:CRT/Боснія і Герцеговина
2006 Чорногорія COM:CRT/Чорногорія
2006 Сербія COM:CRT/Сербія
2008 Косово COM:CRT/Косово

The Kingdom of Yugoslavia became a member of the Berne Convention effective 17 June 1930.[1]

The successor states have passed their own copyright laws, but work originating in the former Yugoslavia that entered the public domain in Yugoslavia would be in the public domain in the successor states.

Standard rules

The Yugoslav Copyright Act of 1978 provided for a copyright term of the life of the author plus 50 years, and for 25 years after publication for a photograph or a work of applied art. A work would have entered the public domain under this act if it met one of the following criteria:

  • A work of known authorship and the author died before 1974
  • An anonymous work and it was published before 1974
  • A photograph or a work of applied art published before 1999

A work first published in Yugoslavia would have been in the public domain before the breakup of SFR Yugoslavia in 1991 if it met one of the following criteria:

  • A work of known authorship and the author died before January 1, 1941
  • An anonymous work and it was published before January 1, 1941
  • A photograph or a work of applied art published before January 1, 1966

However, The work would only be in the public domain in the successor state if it met the criteria defined in the law of that state (which could have reinstated copyright on some public domain works). Also, the work would only be in the public domain in the United States if

  • It is now in the public domain under United States copyright terms and in the successor state, or
  • It was in the public domain in the successor state on the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) date. This date would be 1 January 1996 for countries that were, on that date, members of either the Berne Convention, the World Trade Organization (WTO) or the WIPO Copyright Treaty.

Freedom of panorama

The Yugoslav Copyright Act of 1978 provided some form of freedom of panorama provision:

  • It is allowed on the territory of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia without the permission of the author...[693/1978 Article 48]
  • reproduction of works of art exhibited on streets and squares, unless the reproduction of a sculptural work is obtained by printing from a mold.[693/1978 Article 48.4]
  • reproduction of sculptural and painting works and works of architecture by means of photography in newspapers and magazines, unless the author expressly forbids it.[693/1978 Article 48.5]

The second succeeding paragraph after paragraph 5 of the article governed all exceptions under the article: "In all cases from paragraph 1 of this article, the name and surname of the author of the original work and the origin of the borrowing must be clearly indicated."

The freedom of panorama exception would only be applicable to photographs made during the Yugoslav era. Current photographs, including the uploaders' own photographs, are subject to the FoP rules of the successor states.
