Dyplomacja jugosłowiańska wobec polsko-czechosłowackich kontrowersji granicznych z lat 1945–1947
The Yugoslav diplomacy towards the Polish-Czech controversies over the border of the years 1945–1947

Summary/Abstract: as regards the relations between Yugoslavia and Poland and Czech, in the first years following the end of the Second World War, contracting treaties on friendship and mutual cooperation became a high priority. therefore, the territorial conflict of the allies was closely monitored by Belgrade. in this context there appeared also the question of a possible Yugoslav intermediation. it was the Polish who unofficially put forward such a proposal in the autumn of 1945. despite the negative opinion of the Yugoslav Ministry of Foreign affairs, tito did propose to do so in March 1946. He did not intend, however, to declare his support for either of the sides and his initiative was mainly of the propagandist character. as regards the questions which kept dividing the two countries, the Yugoslav diplomacy accepted the standpoint of maintaining the status quo. that is why, the conclusion of the Polish-Czech treaty met with real satisfaction. the role of the treaty in forming a reliable system of protection against an eventual aggression on the part of Germany was stressed. Yugoslavians also attributed to it great significance in building a bloc of Slavic states and creating the so-called „new Slav policy”
