Folder 1 (30 documents) - Oct. 1964 - July 1966
Contains telegrams and notes between Washington and the US Embassy in Belgrade from Oct. 1964 - July 1966 with broad themes of US-Yugoslavia relations defined by the Non-Aligned movement, a shifting USSR government after Kruschev, and US actions in Vietnam.

Folder 2 (54 documents) - November 1963 - April 1966
Contains telegrams and notes that highlight US-Yugoslavia relations after the Kennedy assassination and amidst Yugoslav disapproval of US actions in Vietnam.

Folder 3 (29 documents) - March 1963 - Nov 1966
Contains intelligence cables and telegrams covering Yugoslavia’s stance on Vietnam considering members of the non-aligned movement, the Soviet Union, and China – while attempting to improve relations with the US. The folder concludes with Department of State documentation of ambassadorial conversations and foreign assistance settlements.

Folder 4 (36 documents) - August 1965 - June 1966
Contains memorandums, notes, and letters on US-Yugoslavia bilateral relations that evolved with grand questions of trade, economic assistance, and the Vietnam War. This folder is also punctuated with short notes and briefings for various dignitaries that range from discussions of points of leverage to broad summaries of all US-Yugoslavia relations.

Folder 5 (21 documents) - February 1964 - November 1965
Contains memorandums and special reports that assess Yugoslavia’s relations with the greater communist world and where the U.S. fits into this narrative.
