This paper analyzes the impacts of the French and Italian plans for the political, military, and economic reorganization of European affairs on the Yugoslav reconsideration of regional pacts in national security policy and foreign policy, and the consequences of that reassessment on the Yugoslav standpoint toward the reorganizations of the Little Entente and its role in European affairs.

This paper analyzes policies of the Yugoslav foreign ministers Momčilo Ninčić and Vojislav Marinković towards the ideas of the Balkan unity. Not only were both of them prominent political figures, but also economists and in several mandates ministers of finance, national economy, trade (and industry) and/or construction. Therefore the aim is to analyze their views on the political unification and economic co-operation between the Balkan states, and factors that provided opportunities or stood as constraints to the implementation of their plans. Chronologically, the paper covers the period from the beginning of the Locarno period in the Balkans to the beginning of the Balkan Conferences. The paper is primarily based on the Yugoslav and Bulgarian archival sources, domestic and foreign published sources, and scientific literature.

This article deals with Yugoslavia’s tactics against Bulgarian and Hungarian minority petitions, which were filed before the League of Nations and later promoted before the European Congress of Nationalities. The analysis is based on the documents preserved in the Records of the Permanent Delegation in Geneva, which is the most reliable source on the tactics since other significant Yugoslav institutions have hardly been preserved at all.

So-called Macedonian question and the IMRO subversive activities proved to be central issues in Yugoslav-Bulgarian diplomatic relations during interwar period. From the beginning of 1920s, Yugoslav Foreign Service began systematic activity against Bulgarian propaganda in general and in that framework against organisations subordinated to the IMRO in North America. Yugoslav diplomatic-consular service was generally prepared to deal with propaganda activities of Bulgarian state, yet it was to find new solutions applicable in the societies of the United States and Canada, countries with a significant Macedonian Diaspora. Mission of Konstantin Todorov was of great importance as it helped in formulating particular North American strategy in counteracting subversive work of pro-Bulgarian Yugoslav Diaspora.
