Abstract

The Cominform resolution of 1948 created an unexpected situation for the Yugoslav communist leadership. Isolated from the East, the country had to look westwards for the way out of the blockade. The Communist Party of Yugoslavia started searching for new partners and ideological allies amongst West European left. The aim of this article is to outline the transformation of the Yugoslav Communist Party’s foreign policy between 1948 and 1953, from alliance with communist parties to supporting “independent socialists” across Europe and to cooperation with social democrats. The article is based mainly on Yugoslav sources and literature.
