Meeting Hitler-Horthy in 1936 and the International Position of Yugoslavia
Vuk Vinaver
Sažetak
The author has based the article on the analysis of the meeting between Hitler and Horthy, in August 1936, as it had been of a great importance for the international position of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
The meeting had represented one more part of the final forming of the fascist bloc inside Middle Europe, and the conclusive surrendering of Hungary was according to Hitler's requiring: »everybody smooth handedly with Yugoslavia, everybody in a headlong attack on Tcheckoslovakia.« Mussolini's joining in with Hitler coinciding with it, had led to the Italian intervention in the Yugoslav-Hungarian Treaty. So there it was all laid out: war for Prague, neutrality and gradual joining the fascist bloc for Belgrade. The very preparations for destroying peace in Europe were forcing the two fascist leaders to lead Hungary and Yugoslavia to approach.
Though the president of Yugoslav government, Milan Stojadinović, had brought the Yugoslav-Hungarian relations to the spheres of friendship and cordiality, he had still refused to sign a treaty with Hungary inspite of ever-increasing pressure of Hitler and Mussolini. He could not find it convenient as yet to be exposed as a breaker of the Little Entente. Meanwhile, refusing to sign the treaty with Hungary, Stojadinović was only masking his real abandonning of the Little Entente. The Axis, again, did not dare increase the pressure on Stojadinović in order to make him sign the treaty, as a »Stojadinović refusing the Hungarian-Yugoslav treaty« was more of a gain, than the enfeebled Belgrade regime with pact would have ever been.
