Summary/Abstract: The article explores the Yugoslav foreign trade network in Italy during 1960s and 1970s, focusing on the institutional and organizational framework through which trade was conducted. The aim is to examine how state institutions, foreign branches, and economic enterprises interacted in practice, and to what extent they succeeded in building a coherent system of cooperation. Special attention is given to conflicts between producer and intermediary companies, the role of consulates and the embassy, and the effects of economic reforms such as the introduction of Basic Organizations of Associated Labor (OOUR). The analysis is based on archival documents from the Archive of Yugoslavia, consular correspondence, and internal reports of Yugoslav institutions operating in Italy.
