Abstract

Yugoslav–Soviet relations experienced a new rise from the early 1970s when new principles were established through meetings between Tito and Brezhnev. From that point, economic cooperation became the foundation of their relations, reaching its peak in the first half of the 1980s when the Soviet Union emerged as Yugoslavia’s largest economic partner. This paper aims to provide an overview of this cooperation during the first half of the 1980s, based on archival materials available in Serbian archives, specifically the Archives of Yugoslavia and the Diplomatic Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The analysis will primarily draw upon documents related to the mutual visits of the two countries’ prime ministers, Milka Planinc and N.A. Tikhonov, in March 1983 and July 1985. Economic relations were the central topic of these meetings, and documents such as diplomatic preparations, discussion platforms, and reports offer significant sources for analyzing this cooperation. The analysis will seek to identify the main areas of economic cooperation, assess their importance, and determine whether the relations were purely economic or marked by political interests as well.
