Remnants
There were several attempts to reactivate the Communist League of Yugoslavia.
One pro-Stalinist group, called New Communist Party of Yugoslavia (NKPJ) claimed to continue in the tradition of the original Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ), but not of the Titoist Communist League of Yugoslavia (SKJ). Another Stalinist party under the name of Communist Party of Yugoslavia was established in 1990 by Tito's former Communist opposition.
Another attempt to revive the party was the League of Communists - Movement for Yugoslavia (SK-PJ), which was mainly a soldiers' party, and later joined the Yugoslav United Left (JUL).
There was also another party calling itself the Communist League of Yugoslavia, which organized what it claimed to be the party's 15th and 16th congresses, the latter in 1994 claiming that it continues the tradition of LCY. It later split into League of Communists of Yugoslavia in Serbia and League of Communists of Yugoslavia-Communist Party of Serbia
There are several Titoist parties in the Republic of Macedonia.
The Workers' Communist Party of Bosnia and Herzegovina is a pro-Yugoslav union party which respects but is also critical of the LCY and Tito.
The Socialist Labour Party of Croatia adopted the first name of the party on its formation 1997 but it is not an all-Yugoslav party (nor does it have ambitions to be). The Communist Party of Croatia, formed in 2005 by dissidents from the Socialist Labour Party of Croatia, adheres to Titoism, but they have never started functioning.
The remnants of the local branches were transformed:
- the League of Communists of Serbia in 1990 into the Socialist Party of Serbia
- the League of Communists of Croatia in 1990 into the Party of Democratic Changes of Croatia (later merged in 1994 with the Social Democrats of Croatia and renamed party to Social Democratic Party of Croatia)
- the League of Communists of Macedonia in 1990 into the Social Democratic Union of Macedonia
- the League of Communists of Slovenia in 1990 into the Party of Democratic Reforms of Slovenia (in 1993 with smaller extra-parliamentary parties to become the United List of Social Democrats; in 2005 the name was shortened to Social Democrats)
- the League of Communists of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1991? into the Social Democratic Party of Bosnia and Herzegovina
- the League of Communists of Montenegro in 1991 into the Democratic Party of Socialists of Montenegro

Famous quotes containing the word remnants:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
