Tito was a cult of personality. Many legends about him were just that - legends, fabricated for the sake of keeping the south Slavic people obedient and afraid.

Aleksei Snegov [...] told us that when Stalin's desk was being moved from his former study, they accidentally came across five letters addressed to him that he had hidden under a layer of newspapers in one of the drawers. Snegov could only recall three of them. [...] The third came from Marshall Tito in 1950. The text was brief: 'Stalin. Stop sending assassins to murder me. We have already caught five, one with a bomb, another with a rifle. ... If this doesn't stop, I will send one man to Moscow and there will be no need to send another.'
It seems that the Stalin incident story might have roots in reality.Regardless, Tito was still a cult of personality and his country crumbled as soon as he died.
