The Association for the Yugoslav Democratic Initiative () was a political party in SFR Yugoslavia. It is widely considered the first independent all-Yugoslav political movement.
UJDI's basic tenets were the transformation of the state through democratization, freedom of thought and political activity, including free multi-party elections, as well as the support for Yugoslavia as a united federal state, as opposed to centralism and separatism.
In January 1989, UJDI's co-founder Predrag MatvejeviÃÂ described its goal as "making the Socialist Alliance [of Working People of Yugoslavia] into a kind of an alternative party, a socialist one, in which alternative solutions and alternative cadres could arise, as well as the rectification of everything about the League of Communists [of Yugoslavia] that was not working and was not good".
UJDI was founded on February 2, 1989, in Zagreb, by a group of left-leaning intellectuals, notably its first president was Branko Horvat, the second president was Nebojà ¡a Popov, its director was à ½arko Puhovski and the members included Predrag MatvejeviÃÂ, Abdulah Sidran, Bogdan BogdanoviÃÂ, Milan Kangrga, Lev Kreft, Shkëlzen Maliqi, Vesna Peà ¡iÃÂ, KoÃÂa PopoviÃÂ, Milorad Pupovac, Karlo à  tajner, Ljubià ¡a RistiÃÂ, Boà ¾idar Gajo SekuliÃÂ, Rudi Supek, Ljubomir TadiÃÂ, Dubravka Ugreà ¡iÃÂ, Tibor Várady, Predrag Vranicki, Nenad Zakoà ¡ek and Jug Grizelj.
A Slovenian affiliate of the party was also founded under the leadership of the sociologist Rastko MoÃÂnik, but it ceased functioning even before the 1990 multi-party elections.
In the 1990 Serbian parliamentary election, it obtained 0.5% and won 1 seat by Tibor Várady.
In the 1990 Serbian presidential election, Ivan ÃÂuriÃÂ ran as the common candidate of UJDI and the Union of Reform Forces and won 5.5% of the vote, finishing in the third place.
In 1992, after the breakup of Yugoslavia, its Serbian branch merged into the Civil Alliance of Serbia.
