Summary/Abstract: At the turn between the 1960-ties and 1970-ties Yugoslavia faced serious challenges in its efforts to normalize the relations with Soviet Union, after the military intervention of the Warsaw pact forces in Czechoslovakia 1968. Fearing that Prague scenario may repeat on Belgrade streets, Yugoslavian government sharply commented the president Brezhnyev’s doctrine of so-called limited suzerainty. It has a strong political standpoint that every socialist country has a right for an independent path to the socialism. In those circumstances, Soviet leadership did not have the interest to take further steps for a re-establishing and improvement the relations with Yugoslavia. Establishing of the friendly relations with Yugoslavia, was treated as a possible amnesty for the any socialistic political leaders which in future could challenge Soviet dominance in the political and theoretical views on Socialistic Internationalism, proclaimed as the basis for the relations between the socialistic states. In middle of the 1971, first friendly diplomatic initiatives from the Moscow came to Belgrade, following the signs of the political disputes in Yugoslavia. At that time Brezhnyev and Soviet leadership decide to react, fearing that internal political disputes may seriously challenge the Tito’s communist régime. It led to the Brezhnyev’s visit to the Belgrade and talks with Tito. Yugoslav leader, refused to accept offered political “help” form the Moscow to consolidate the internal problems. However, those talks leaded to mutual confidence that the other side will change own standpoint on relations between the socialist states, which no matter the absurdity leaded to reestablishment of the better political relations between the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia.
