Beatlemania was running rampant around the world in the 1960's.  There were branches of the Official Beatles Fan Club in many countries that you might not think of as being countries that loved the Beatles.  Yogoslavia is one of the countries that had a Beatles following and their own fan club.

The club was ran by a young Croatian man named Veljko Despot.   He put out the newsletters and ran the club in Eastern Europe.   Veljko was a journalist as well as a Beatles fan, and he was fortunate to attend the Sgt. Pepper Sessions in February 1967 and become the only Eastern Europe reporter to interview the Beatles (Now that is a great scoop for the newsletter!  I bet the fans loved that!).   You can see him here with John and George outside of EMI during the Pepper sessions.

Also I included some fan club items from his club.
