Национални одбор за слободну Европу и посета делегације америчког Конгреса Југославији 1952. године
The National Committee for a Free Europe and the Visit of the Delegation of the US Congress to Yugoslavia in 1952

Summary/Abstract: Yugoslavia’s political disassociation from the Soviet Union in 1948 led to its economy being in an extremely difficult position. This further encouraged Yugoslav officials to normalize trade relations with the United States, given that deliveries from Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union could not satisfy the needs of the very ambitious Five-Year Plan. The paper is devoted to an analysis of how, from 1948 to 1952, the US political establishment influenced Yugoslavia’s greater political accountability and openness by providing economic aid, and in turn by being willing to persist in aiding its “communist ally” despite the opposition of Yugoslav emigrants, whose activities were funded simultaneously through the work of the National Committee for a Free Europe.
