Summary/Abstract: The article presents the relations between Yugoslavia and Bulgaria at the end of the World War II, and in this context analyzes various ideas of their integration, which emerged either among Bulgarian or Yugoslav authorities or among the most influential international actors. The author first describes the key interwar factors and events that influenced the formation of states in post-war Southeast Europe, and in this context identifies the motives for and against the various ideas of the Yugoslav-Bulgarian (con)federation. In the second part, the author analyzes the role of the (con) federal idea in the period of rapprochement between the two communist countries and presents the key events that determined the dramatic turn in Bulgarian-Yugoslav relations in 1948, when the idea was abandoned.
