Sweden–Yugoslavia relations (Swedish: Relationerna mellan Sverige och Jugoslavien; Serbo-Croatian: Odnosi Švedske i Jugoslavije, Односи Шведске и Југославије; Slovene: Odnosi med Švedsko in Jugoslavijo; Macedonian: Односите Шведска-Југославија) were historical foreign relations between Sweden and now split-up Yugoslavia (both Kingdom of Yugoslavia or Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia).During the Cold War both Sweden and Yugoslavia refused to formally join either NATO or the Warsaw Pact military alliance.With other neutral and non-aligned countries in Europe Yugoslavia and Sweden perceived development of relations among diverse European states as a way to ease Cold War tensions and promote Détente, especially via CSCE.[1] Judge Krister Thelin [sv; nl] served as ad litem at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.[2] Over 100,000 refugees from war in Yugoslavia made Sweden their new home many of which are held up as an example of successful integration.
