Folder 2 (54 documents) - November 1963 - April 1966
Contains telegrams and notes that highlight US-Yugoslavia relations amidst Yugoslav disapproval of the Vietnam War and a change in presidential administrations after the Kennedy assassination. During the 60s, Yugoslavia offered the US a window into the non-aligned movement and its priorities. These documents specifically emphasize non-aligned countries’ reactions to US actions in Vietnam, and how these developments set the tone for US engagement. This folder also demonstrates the rhetoric surrounding US aid to Yugoslavia, including calls for increased assistance within the spare parts market to deter reliance on the Soviet Union. These reports on speeches, diplomatic talks, and Yugoslav priorities present a well-captured mood of Yugoslav officials from reading between the lines at dinnertime toasts to documenting the notably informal dress of a minister.
