History

During the Angolan Civil War, Yugoslavia heavily aided the MPLA, providing military supplies, financial aid, and education for Angolan students and diplomatic training in Belgrade. While Soviet support for the MPLA was turbulent in the mid-1970s, Yugoslavia firmly and constantly aided in the MPLA struggle.[1] Close relations and joint cooperation continued through the breakup of Yugoslavia, and Angola has expressed its strong support for Serbia on the issue of Kosovo.[2]
