Yugoslavia - Box 232 Folder 1
Contains telegrams and notes between Washington and the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade from Oct. 1964 - July 1966 with themes of U.S.-Yugoslav relations defined by the Non-Aligned Movement, a shifting USSR government post-Khruschev, and U.S. actions in Vietnam. The documents follow broader trends of Tito’s Yugoslavia, including increasing tensions with the U.S. and a tendency towards the Soviet bloc amidst the beginnings of the Brezhnev era. There are also several telegrams from talks in Belgrade condemning America's efforts in Vietnam for its lack of a clear, sustained end goal. This folder includes other specific documents on the US-Tito relationship, Yugoslavia’s Africa policy, and the fall of Rankovic. The final document cites a conversation between a Yugoslav journalist and a Chinese diplomat, who touted the inevitability of war with the US.
