Summary/Abstract: The development of the Yugoslav-Czechoslovak relations after WWII influenced also the streangthening of esteem enjoyed by Josip Broz Tito in Czechoslovakia. The Czechoslovak public enthusiastically greeted the Yugoslav president in March 1946 on occasion of his official visit to Prague and Bratislava. The interest in Josip Broz Tito and Yugoslavia increased after that visit still more. Streets, cultural associations, a students' hostel and several companies in Czechoslovakia were named after Tito. However, the difficult political circumstances in summer 1948 caused the change in the relations between Yugoslavia and the USSR, and at the same time between Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. The Yugoslav-Czechoslovak cooperation was severed and Tito's name discarded by the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and the official government organs. The larger part of the Czechoslovak public was above all surprized at the chage in the relation towards the Yugoslav marshal.
