The Obznana (Cyrillic: Обзнана; Serbo-Croatian for "Proclamation") was a government's decree that was issued on 29 December 1920 in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Yugoslavia), which outlawed the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (CPY) and any kind communist activity. It also stipulated that any person accused of "bolshevik propaganda" should be fired from public job. The Obznana was not adopted by the parliament, nor signed by the King, as was usual; instead, it was authored by the Minister of the Interior Milorad Drašković and signed by government ministers including the prime minister Milenko Vesnić. It was not published in the official gazette, but was printed as a poster and pasted on the streets, and thus did not have an official character.
Although the Obznana was not an official document, but an unofficial proclamation, it marked the begging of the persecution of communists in Yugoslavia, which culminated with the August 1921 adoption of the Law on the Protection of the State. The Law proscribed heavy prison sentence for any kind of communist propaganda. Soon, the whole leadership of the CPY was arrested and sentenced to long prison sentences. Drašković was assassinated by communists in July 1921.
