The Romanian-Yugoslav Relations between the Balkan Cooperation and the Informal War
The Romanian-Yugoslav Relations between the Balkan Cooperation and the Informal War

Summary/Abstract: The Romanian-Yugoslav relations represent a study case as a result of the alternation between cooperation and mutual mistrust, the first coordinate being dictated by the historically close relations, while the second one came as a consequence of the doctrine of besieged city promoted by the communist regime. Despite the informational war that two regimes were fighting alike internally and internationally, the cooperation represents the dominant component, with a strong activity behind the public's eye, meaning the common initiatives in intelligence, security, and defense as well as strategic planning. Both representing the discordant actors of the Soviet sphere of influence, their cooperation has been long-termed dictated by the common threat of being politically aligned and later integrated into a unitary Balkan hybrid political project under Soviet rule.
