Southern (R): Yugoslavia (RY). Political Relations between Yugoslavia and FRG

A file of correspondence and press extracts on West German-Yugoslav relations. The file discusses Yugoslavia's apparently increasing friendliness towards the East German government; West German concern that Yugoslavia might give East Germany diplomatic recognition; and Yugoslavia's support for the reunification of Germany, which the British ambassador to Belgrade believed to be genuine, unlike the Soviet Union's policy of outwardly supporting reunification while privately undermining it. The file also reports the progress of a trade agreement between West Germany and Yugoslavia; the tension between the two countries caused by the delay to the agreement's ratification in the West German Bundestag; and the visit of the Yugoslav vice-president to West Germany, where he was impressed by West German economic efficiency.
