Josip Tito

The president of Yugoslavia, Josip Tito has become critical of the USSR’s brand of socialism. He has spoken out about the Soviet system saying while he is taking our system as an example, he will develop his country’s socialism differently. Tito has insisted on independence from USSR until recently when the two countries have been forming an uneasy alliance. Although Tito has caused some diplomatic escalations between Yugoslavia and the USSR, we understand Yugoslavia has the right to develop, change, and grow as they wish. The USSR hopes that relations will improve as both countries continue to grow and we will work towards stronge relations.
