History
Order of the Yugoslav Star was founded by the President of Yugoslavia Josip Broz Tito on 1 February 1954 and had three Classes.[2] Law on Decorations was amended on 1 March 1961, so from then on, the Order had four Classes:
- Yugoslav Great Star — highest decoration in SFR Yugoslavia
- Yugoslav Star with Sash (before 1961 Order of the Yugoslav Star, I Class) — 6th highest decoration in SFR Yugoslavia

- Yugoslav Star on Cravat (before 1961 Order of the Yugoslav Star, III Class) — 24th highest decoration in SFR Yugoslavia
After the Breakup of Yugoslavia, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (and later Serbia and Montenegro) continued to use some of the decorations of former Yugoslavia, among them Order of the Yugoslav Star.[2] In the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Order of the Yugoslav Star was the second highest order after the Order of Yugoslavia.[3] During this time the four Classes of the order were named:[3]
- Yugoslav Great Star — 2nd highest decoration in FR Yugoslavia (after the Order of Yugoslavia)
- Yugoslav Star, I Class — 7th highest decoration in FR Yugoslavia
- Yugoslav Star, II Class — 20th highest decoration in FR Yugoslavia
