Tito was a dictator with all what that means, but he remains popular in large parts of former Yugoslavia. The main exception being the Albanians.

Anecdata: I remember a poll where something like 4/5 of the Serbians asked considered life better under Tito than life in 2010: https://balkaninsight.com/2010/12/24/for-simon-poll-serbians...

Even Albanians. I know many Kosovar Albanians, and they all praise him. Heck, even Albanians I know think highly of him.

Which is stroke of luck for him. He started off as brutal stalinist but then had the good sense to lack center and play the big power against each other.
