Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic–Yugoslavia relations

Bilateral relations


Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic–Yugoslavia relations were historical foreign relations between Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic and now split-up Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia recognized the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic on 28 November 1984.[1] Yugoslavia was the first (and alongside Albania the only) country in Europe which formally recognized the independence of Sahrawi Republic after some of its allies from the Non-Aligned Movement pressured Belgrade to follow on its earlier policy when Yugoslavia was the first European country to recognize neighboring Algeria as well.[2] While formal relations were limited Yugoslavia extended certain development aid by providing education both for civilians and Polisario members.[3]
