Tito’s decision to convene another session of the AVNOJ was made in response to the surrender of Fascist Italy and the approach of troops of the Western Allies. In the interval between sessions, the Western Allies had started to support the Partisans, and Tito considered a British landing in Yugoslavia likely. In October 1943, just before the second session, the KPJ central committee established the National Committee for the Liberation of Yugoslavia ("Nacionalni komitet oslobođenja Jugoslavije", NKOJ), an all-Yugoslav executive body, appointed to perform the role of an interim government.
