TheSlovene National Liberation Committee (SNOS) (Slovene:Slovenski narodnoosvobodilni svet;Serbo-Croatian:Slovensko narodnooslobodilačko vijeće, Словеначко народноослободилачко веће) was formed as the highest governing organ ofanti-fascist movement ofSlovenes duringWorld War II. The president of itspresidium wasJosip Vidmar.[1]
SNOS was formed on February 19, 1944 inČrnomelj when the 120-memberLiberation Front Plenum, constituted in 1943 by theAssembly of the Delegates of the Slovene Nation inKočevje, opted to change its name to SNOS and proclaim itself as the temporarySlovenian Parliament. One of its most important decisions was that after the end of the war Slovenia would become a state within theSocialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia.[2]
In spite of the fact the territory wasoccupied byAxis forces, SNOS was more than just a symbolic entity. Several important institutions functioned under its supervision. For example, it established even aStatistical Bureau of Slovenia on its session on August 19, 1944.[3] Just before the end of the war, on May 5, 1945, the SNOS met for the last time in the town ofAjdovščina in theJulian March (then formally still part of theKingdom of Italy) and established the Slovene government with the Communist leaderBoris Kidrič as its president.[4]
