Novi prioriteti u spoljnoj politici Jugoslavije
New Priorities in Yugoslavia's Foreign Policy

Summary/Abstract: The deep political, economic, social, and even moral crisis which characterizes Yugoslavia at the present moment, the lessening of tensions between the superpowers and the consequent de-ideologization and demilitarization of international relations, a new assessment of the European component of Yugoslavia’s position, and the undeniable processes of opening in Eastern Europe are only some of the factors that have necessitated the setting up of new priorities in Yugoslavia's foreign policy and a re-examination and modernization of some of the key elements of that policy. In this process of foreign-policy change, different domestic political and social forces act with different objectives in mind. In the forefront of not only day-to-day preoccupations but also the country's long-term interests, we now find a whole range of problems having to do with Yugoslavia's integration into Europe. Though its importance in the country’s foreign policy remains great, non-alignment has been relegated to the second place. Finally, in addition to the European orientation and non-alignment as global options. Yugoslavia now places a new emphasis on its Balkan dimension and position.
