'''Youth Day''' was celebrated throughout the former [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]] on May 25. This was also a celebration of [[Josip Broz Tito]]'s birthday. Even though Tito was born on May 7, 1892, this date was chosen in remembrance of the [[Operation Rösselsprung (1944)|Operation Rösselsprung]] in 1944, a Nazi attempt on his life on the date of birth listed on his forged personal documents. In the weeks preceding the festival, [[Relay of Youth|youth ran a relay]] around the country, and on his birthday Tito was ceremonially presented with the baton. The baton, which had passed through all major cities, contained a symbolic birthday message, ostensibly from the youth of the whole country. <!-- (May 25, 1977: Marica Lojen of [[Kumrovec]] passing the baton into Tito's hands). -->
