Političke prepreke i ekonomski izazovi u jugoslovensko-američkim trgovinskim pregovorima od Pariske mirovne konferencije do 1936. godine

In addition to Yugoslavia's commitment to the issue of paying off war debts to the United States, bilateral trade negotiations played a pivotal role in Yugoslav-American relations in the interwar period. This paper will attempt to reconstruct the interpretation of the 1881 treaty between Serbia and the United States, in the context of relations between the new Yugoslav state and the United States. Despite intentions to enhance trade relations by both sides, obstacles such as divergent economic policies, the limited significance of bilateral trade within the overall foreign trade volume of both countries, and Yugoslavia's clearing system hindered the treaty's conclusion.
