Kardelj was born in Ljubljana, Slovenia (at that time Austria-Hungary).
He was considered one of the main ideologists of Josip Broz Tito's communist regime in former Yugoslavia. He had major influence on the Yugoslav military intelligence service, the KOS . He advocated the hiring of convicts into the service, who were used to assassinate many Yugoslav political exiles. In exchange for their services, convicts were given safe haven in the country, protected even from Interpol. Many of these people were alleged to have robbed banks, and carried on other criminal activities all over Western EuropeFor the band of the same name, see Europe (band .
