Abstract

After the Cominform Resolution in 1948 and the beginning of the Yugoslav-Soviet conflict, the Yugoslav leadership faced a completely new foreign policy situation. Under threat from the East, Yugoslavia was forced to seek new ways of co-operation in foreign policy, now in the West, among ideological “enemies”. In such a situation, cooperation with the socialist Left in the West was one of the least harmful alternatives. The aim of the article is a brief analysis of the first steps of cooperation between Yugoslav communists and Scandinavian socialists from 1950 to 1953. The analysis includes the most important meetings, correspondence, and mutual exchanges of experiences and opinions of the leading representatives of both sides. The article is an attempt to establish through the available Yugoslav historical sources the similarities and differences, possibilities and obstacles to the cooperation of Yugoslavia with the Scandinavian socialist options in the circumstances of the Cold War.
