| Description | The relations between Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia are an important part of the history of both countries as well as a not-insignificant segment of the broader history of Central and Southeastern Europe in the 20th century. Previous research into Czechoslovak-Yugoslav relations has focused on the interwar period, or sometimes on the period after the Second World War. The text herein submitted attempts to capture the transformations in the positions of the Czechoslovak exile authorities and the Yugoslav exile government in the years 1941–1943, thereby filling in the findings available to contemporary historiography. The text particularly focuses on portraying the bilateral relations between the exile governments, but it also includes a chapter that describes the character and internal problems within the Yugoslav exile government. In this study the author not only describes the official actions taken by the Czechoslovak and Yugoslav diplomacy, but also provides analysis of the personal positions of important actors in the events described. The study has been conducted on the basis of analysis of official sources of the Czechoslovak and to a lesser extent, Yugoslav provenience, as well as of literature of the diary and memoir type and period publications. |
