Uganda–Yugoslavia relations
Bilateral relations
Uganda–Yugoslavia relations were historical foreign relations between Uganda and now split-up Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Formal diplomatic relations between the two countries were established in 1963.[1] Both countries were members of the Non-Aligned Movement and they developed their relations in the framework of the Cold War Third World cooperation. First official state visit between Uganda and Yugoslavia took place in 1965 when the Prime Minister of Uganda Milton Obote visited Yugoslavia.[2] President of Yugoslavia Josip Broz Tito reciprocated the state visit by visiting Uganda on 20 February 1970.[2] President of Uganda Idi Amin visited Yugoslavia between 20–22 April 1976.[2]
In a meeting with the Speaker of the Serbian Parliament Maja Gojković in February 2019 President Yoweri Museveni told that while his country is eager to cooperate he was at the same time "very sorry about what took place in the former Yugoslavia" referring to the process of the violent breakup during the Yugoslav Wars.[3]
