Detachment of the Yugoslav People’s Army in Sinai in 1956-1967. Sketch for the Theme

Summary/Abstract: Participation of the Yugoslav People’s Army in the peacekeeping operations represent an extremely important topic. Within this arrangement, the most durable and most comprehensive was participation in the peacekeeping forces of the United nations in Sinai. In the national historical science that topic is completely unsearched. There is certain, pretty fragmentary and incomplete, scientific and memoir literature. On the other hand, the available archives kept in several archive institutions contains numerous source data on that topic. Smaller part of the relevant archives is still inaccessible. For the research in this theme there is signifi cant scientifi c and practical interest. Future research which would be based on the rules of the historical science would have to be based on a broader insight in the studied problems. Analysis of the political and military aspect of the Yugoslav engagement during the peacekeeping operation in Sinai is of extreme importance. Besides, the problem must be viewed also on the level of the influences of social and economic factors. Final analysis of available relevant sources and literature would give a complete picture on the character of the Yugoslav activities in that peacekeeping operation during the years of intensive cold war turbulences.
