This is not a banknote. "20 Litara Lož ulja" translates as "20 liters of heating oil" — this is a commodity ration coupon, not a currency instrument. Socialist Yugoslavia issued fuel and goods coupons extensively through the 1970s and 1980s as the country managed chronic shortages through allocation rather than price mechanisms. These circulated in parallel with dinars but were not legal tender and carried no exchange value outside their specific rationing function.
Collectors sometimes acquire these alongside Yugoslav inflation-era paper, but they belong properly to a ephemera or fiscal category, not a banknote catalog.
