Relațiile politico­-militare româno­-sârbe în perioada 1918­-1919
Romanian­-Serbian Political­-Military Relations in the Period 1918­-1919

Summary/Abstract: The changes in the international status of the United Principalities led to the appearance of a ministry of foreign affairs in the summer of 1862 and, almost immediately, to the official establishment, on a reciprocal basis, of the diplomatic agencies in Belgrade and Bucharest in early 1863. The two legations, from Belgrade and Bucharest, carried out their activity (with a certain interruption in the years of the First World War) until 1939, when they were elected to the embassy rank. The Second World War led to a new interruption in bilateral relations, after which they were resumed at legation level until 1956, when they were again raised at the embassy level, a situation that has remained so far. In the matter of Banat at the end of the First World War, two directions of opinion were faced. A radical one, adopted by Ion I.C. Brătianu, according to the “all or nothing” principle, and a moderate one, conceived and promoted by Take Ionescu, who considered that in the post-war security architecture a major dispute on territorial issues with Serbia / Yugoslavia would severely isolate Romania. In order to preserve the status quo, the compromise was considered the best solution. Consequently, the Romanian-Serbian relations have evolved to the present day and have substantially altered the Romanian collective mentality, in which Serbia occupies a special place.
