Summary/Abstract: A dozen of new documents we have found at the Archives of Yugoslavia in Belgrade clarifi y the Yugoslav interwar migration policy. The primary idea about expulsion of disloyal Albanians by removing 200,000 Muslims to Turkey culminated with offi cial Yugoslav-Turkish agreement in July 1938. This paper reveals circumstances in broader Balkan context, as well as government’s motive and device.
