Abstract
Political, economic and cultural contacts between Czechs and multiethnic Yugoslav state from 1918 up to 1992 (with the moratorium from 1938 to 1945). From 1918 Czechoslovac Republic and Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (1929 Yugoslavia) closely collaborated (together with Romanian Kingdom) in multilateral alliance (Little Entante) to defend the Versailles System against territorial revisionism.
After the war Czechoslovakia and Tito's Yugoslavia renewed contacts, both countries were integrated into the Soviet zone of influence. After tte Stalin - Tito rift in 1948 relations were interrupted.
Normalization of the bilateral relations was gradual and slow.
