Here is a list of all monuments coordinates except Brezovica.
It is partially based on @Aleks G’s link and @davidvc pastebin of it, however, some coordinates there are misleading. For such ones, the proper coordinates were found and the source or proof is given.
-
Petrova Gora (45.316426, 15.805206)
-
Grmeč (44.687329, 16.4376500)
-
Ilirska Bistrica (45.568796,14.240245)
-
Košute (43.627796, 16.691636)

-
Korenica
according to link it was destroyed and its location was 44.6765 15.8521:
I’ve been to Korenica and asked a dozen of people in the village, they
say it has been torn down. You may correct me if I’m wrong. But I’ve
spend half a day looking for the monument.Picture:

Makljen (43.842705, 17.597120) (source: annotated in Wikimapia as "destroyed monument")

Brezovica (missing)
So far: it is likely not in Brezovica. This image is from Pinterest and it is annotated as "1st PARTISANS BRIGADE MONUMENT in Brezovica, Croatia", however,there is only a "Monument to Sisak Detachment" (depicted below, source Wikipedia, location 45.502663 16.458433)
UPD: as @phoog noted there are many places named Brezovica (list of them in Wikipedia). The Wikipedia article for one of them (Brezovica, Kosovo or Брезовица_(Штрпце) in Cyrillic) contains picture of the monument:
-
Ostra (43.911496, 20.516597)

Nikšić (42.763139,18.959556)
-
Zenica (44.244945,17.960287)
For more see "Yugoslav World War II monuments and memorials" in Wikipedia.
These are old Yugoslavian War Memorials (or at least most of them). Somebody created a great google map overlay of these:
https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=zxPqN7FUTnEs.kTu_C4z_ZK5c
for some reason I am struggling to get the exact coordinates from that map, but you can zoom in all the way on each of them to see the actual monument at a decent enough zoom level.
