Fragile balance : Greek-Yugoslav relations in the period 1944-1946

Abstract

The article describes the adventure of the diplomatic and political relations between Greece and Yugoslavia, from their liberation, in late 1944, to the summer of 1946. During this period new players, such as the communist parties and the local political élites, emerged, that affected and were affected by the diplomatic climate in the relations of the two countries. As a result, after a short period of improvement concluded by the exchange of ambassadors, the two countries entered a “freezing” stage for the period 1946-1949.
