The Brijuni or the Brijuni Islands are a group of fourteen small islands in the Croatian part of the northern Adriatic Sea, separated from the west coast of the Istrian peninsula by the narrow Fažana Strait.
The largest island, Veli Brijun Island,, lies 2 kilometres off the coast. The second-largest island is Mali Brijun with an area of 1.07 square kilometres, and twelve much smaller islands. Known for their scenery, the islands are a holiday resort and a Croatian National Park.
The islands gained worldwide fame in 1956 during the Brioni Meeting when the main leaders of the Non-Aligned Movement met with the host, Yugoslav president Tito, to form the Brioni Declaration which served as the foundation for the policies the movement would follow. Another event which took place on the islands was the 1991 Brioni Agreement.
