Vztahy Československa a Jugoslávie s Bulharskem, Sovětským svazem a Polskem v letech 1929–1934

This study follows on from the author’s paper published in 2015 in Modern History, which looked at the ambiguous relations between the Little Entente partners of Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia with Italy and Germany and the impact of these relations on their mutual alliance. The following study endeavours to analyse and describe additional areas of conflict in Czechoslovak-Yugoslav relations. These involve the different stances of both countries on Bulgaria, the Soviet Union and Poland. The study aims to find the reasons for and roots of these mutual controversies, and also to map out what consequences these had for mutual political relations. In doing so, it draws from extensive archive material of Czechoslovak and Yugoslav provenance, in particular from the archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Prague, the Archives of the Office of the President of the Republic in Prague, and the Yugoslav Archives in Belgrade. Along with this source material, contemporary newspapers and domestic and foreign literature are also used.
