Abstract
The study analyzes the causes that in 1933 led to an attempt at political-economic integration of the states of Little Entente. The study presents the rise and the fall of this community based on the analysis of the Standing Council meetings.
Its members under the influence of changing balance of power in Europe promoted their partial interests. Due to the reluctance of Western European democracies to confront Nazi Germany both Yugoslavia and Romania loosened their ties with Czechoslovakia which contributed to its isolation in the September Crisis of 1938 and its capitulation.
