Summary/Abstract: This paper shows the transition of the Yugoslav economic system towards a planned economy during 1946. The restoration of the economy and the establishment of a new economic order, occupied the primary position among the complex issues whose solutions awaited the new people in power in Yugoslavia after the liberation of the country. After the takeover, the Yugoslav communists, did not have thought-out plans for the transformation of the economic system, but they adopted the Soviet model and implemented the practice that was used in the USSR for the reconstruction of the economy. Sovietization of the Yugoslav economy marked a radical break from the pre-war economic practice, while the state sector of the economy was supposed to, through planning, become a decisive force behind economic development.
