Canada–Yugoslavia relations were historical foreign relations between Canada and now split-up Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Canada established formal bilateral relations with the Yugoslav government-in-exile on 9 February 1942 during the World War II.[1] Relations developed following the 1948 Tito–Stalin split when Canada started to perceive Yugoslavia as an entry point from which to challenge Soviet hegemony in Eastern Bloc countries.[2] Relations were hovewer cautious due to dissatisfaction of Yugoslav side with the fact of right-wing nationalist and World War II revisionist Yugoslav Canadian emigration. In addition, while Canada was firmly entrenched with Western Bloc, Yugoslavia promoted policy of equidistance between superpowers and played prominent role in development of the Non-Aligned Movement. Both Canada and Yugoslavia were among 51 original members of the United Nations.
History[]
