Yugoslavia

Switzerland–Yugoslavia relations were historical foreign relations between Switzerland and now broken up Yugoslavia ( Kingdom of Yugoslavia 1918–1941 and Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia 1945–1992). Switzerland established diplomatic relations with the Yugoslavia in 1919. [1] A Swiss legation was established in Belgrade in 1940, which was upgraded to an embassy in 1957.

Economic cooperation

Between 1928 and early 1960's trade between the two countries represented a typical example of trade between developed (Switzerland) and developing (Yugoslavia) country in which Yugoslavia exported its natural resources and imported industrial products and equipments. [2] In 1972 Yugoslavia was Switzerland's 24th import and 18th export partner while Switzerland was Yugoslavia's 9th import and 14th export partner. [2] In 1960 71% of Yugoslav export to Switzerland was natural resources while in 1970 it constituted 51% and in 1975 they dropped to 37% of the total export. [2]
