The AVNOJ also did not make any reference to recognition of the London-based Yugoslav government-in-exile, which the Western Allies deemed legitimate and the Soviet Union's leader Joseph Stalin did not wish to antagonise the Allies by supporting Communist guerrillas. Shortly before the Bihać session, Tito added the expression "Anti-Fascist" to the original name of the AVNOJ to emphasise its temporary and anti-Axis nature. These steps were made in response to Soviet positions expressed in correspondence in July–November 1942 between the KPJ and Moscow. Namely, Tito was urged through the Comintern to establish a political body for the purpose of liberation of the country only. He was instructed by the Comintern not to take stand against monarchy. Furthermore, the KPJ received a telegram from the Soviet authorities instructing it not to advertise any communist agenda by the AVNOJ for fear of atagonisign the Western Allies and cautioning against appointing Tito as the president of the AVNOJ.
