(Ambassador to Yugoslavia)

The chief diplomatic representative of Canada to Yugoslavia 1945-92.

The Ambassador of Canada to Mongolia is the chief diplomatic representative of Canada to Yugoslavia 1945-92.

Canada established formal bilateral relations with the Yugoslav government-in-exile on 9 February 1942 during World War II.[1] Relations developed following the 1948 Tito–Stalin split when Canada started to perceive Yugoslavia as an entry point from which to challenge Soviet hegemony in Eastern Bloc countries.[2] Relations were however cautious due to dissatisfaction of the Yugoslav side with the fact of right-wing nationalist and World War II revisionist Yugoslav-Canadian emigration. In addition, while Canada was firmly entrenched with the Western Bloc, Yugoslavia promoted a policy of equidistance between superpowers and played a prominent role in development of the Non-Aligned Movement. Both Canada and Yugoslavia were among 51 original members of the United Nations.
