Today, the Western Balkans is the most politically unstable and economically underdeveloped region in Europe.
This is precisely one of the reasons why the countries created by the breakup of Yugoslavia, burdened with numerous internal and external problems, have not been an important factor in international relations for the last thirty years.
The political representatives of those countries, in the most influential capitals of the world, have been welcomed for thirty years more often as "troublemakers" than as reliable partners.
Our countries, unfortunately, mostly represent only the object of international political and economic relations, while Yugoslavia, throughout its entire existence, despite very complex circumstances, has always been the subject of world events.
Nevertheless, in all former republics, and today states, there are revisionist groups that want to present the significance and results of Yugoslav diplomacy in their own way. They want to marginalize its scope, I guess, so that even the current results, at least for someone, would sound good.
In the third episode of the series, we tried to illuminate this part of our history and to give answers to some important and interesting questions:
How did Yugoslavia manage to balance between world superpowers and at the same time maintain independence and integrity in a world divided into blocs? What was the role of Yugoslavia in the Non-Aligned Movement?
How did the president of Yugoslavia, Josip Broz Tito, rank on the list of world statesmen?
How did Yugoslavia manage to be an important factor in international relations?
