Summary/Abstract: The Yugoslav president Tito and his political aides defintely aban-doned their previous policy of balance and intermediation between the Algerian liberation Front and the French officials. It was celarly obvious that the traditionally good relations with the France cannont be maintai-ned, while in the same time supporting the Algerians in their enduring struggle againast France. This was also outcome of the proclaimed policy of the Yugoslavia's non-aligned standpoint, and the role in emerging Move-ment of Non-aligned states. This movement firmly supported the de-colo-nisation and national liberaton of the Third World countries. In this phase of the relations, Yugoslavia started to support the Algerians not just with the moral and diplomatic efforts. The Yugoslav provided huge humanita-rian and material help mostly via the Red Cross organisation. But this sup-port now included the military equipment and weaponry. Tito's Yugoslavia was the first among the European countries to admit the Algerian tempo-rary governmentde jurein September 1961, and later to establish the full diplomatic relations with Algerie when it became fully independent.
