NZPA Belgrade The name o r Jovanka, the widow of Marshal Tito who has hidden from public view since she and the President separated in 1977, did not figure in any of the telegrams of condolence addressed by top Yugoslav leaders to the family of the deceased. By addressing the telegrams to the family, the officials appeared to be ducking the delicate protocol problem caused by the fact that, despite their three-year separation, Madame Jovanka Broz was still th ( e President’s wife.
Several sources said that Mrs Broz, who was last seen in public last December, had not visited Marshal Tito during his four, month stay in Ljubljana clinic where he died.
She did not appear in a Yugoslav television’s programme dedicated to Marshal Tito’s life. The makers of the film had been ordered, according to a reliable; source, to cut out any sequences in which she appeared at her husband’s side*
