Fragile Balance : Greek-Yugoslav relations in the period 1944-1946 (original) (raw)

This paper examines the complex diplomatic and political relations between Greece and Yugoslavia during the critical years from 1944 to 1946, a time marked by tension and shifting alliances following their respective liberations from Axis occupation. It argues that new influential players, such as local communist parties and refugee groups, emerged during this period, significantly altering the dynamics of the traditional Athens-Belgrade axis and contributing to a deterioration of relations that would ultimately lead to a "freezing" of diplomatic interactions until 1949.
