In the interwar period, Czechoslovakia successfully maintained diplomatic ties with each Balkan country. However, World War II instigated the cessation or interruption of most contacts, except for the emigrant Czechoslovak-Yugoslav-Greek ties in Great Britain. Soon after the end of World War II, Czechoslovakia started gradually renewing most of its diplomatic ties with Balkan countries, but under completely different circumstances. Following the development of each of the Balkan States and their relations with the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia gradually became involved in collaboration with the new people’s democracies. This chapter aims, through the eyes of Czechoslovak diplomats, to focus on the way new communist regimes were established in Balkan countries (Yugoslavia, Albania, Bulgaria, and Romania). This is based on the analysis of sources from Czech archives, a small number of memoirs, and other relevant literature.
