Mexico–Yugoslavia relations



Mexico–Yugoslavia relations were historical foreign relations between Mexico and now split-up Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Mexico and Yugoslavia established diplomatic relations on 24 May 1946 on the initiative of the President of Yugoslavia Josip Broz Tito. Both countries shared their views on Francoist Spain and cooperated with the Spanish Republican government in exile. On 31 July 1952 the two countries protested strongly against a decision of a United Nations committee to ask the Franco Government what it might be able to do to strengthen the collective security.

Breakup of Yugoslavia
In the initial aftermath of the breakup of Yugoslavia Mexico maintained its diplomatic relations with newly established Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) but reduced its level to the charge d'affaires due to host country involvement in Bosnian War. Following the United Nations Security Council Resolution 757 Mexico refused the entry of any Yugoslav official and banned its government officials from traveling to Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Mexico however maintained its embassy in Belgrade and established formal relations with Serbia and Montenegro and other successor states.
