The Yugoslav Figure Skating Championships (Croatian: Prvenstvo jugoslavije u klizanju; Serbian: Првенство Југославије у уметничком клизању) were an annual figure skating competition to crown the national champions of Yugoslavia. Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, and pair skating until the dissolution of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s.
The Physical Education Association of Yugoslavia (Croatian: Fizkulturni savez Jugoslavije) organized the first Yugoslav Championships in Ljubljana in 1947.[1] The 1964 Yugoslav Championships were heralded as the event's 14th anniversary.[2]
The breakup of Yugoslavia began in 1991 with the secession of Slovenia and Croatia. Yugoslavia ceased to exist as a distinct entity in 2003 with the establishment of Serbia and Montenegro as a federal republic. Many Yugoslav skaters went on to represent the former constituent states after their independence from Yugoslavia: Tomislav Čižmešija, Željka Čižmešija, and Zoran Marković for Croatia; Luka Klasinc and Mojca Kopač for Slovenia, and Ksenija Jastsenjski for Serbia.
