Lebanon–Yugoslavia relations were historical foreign relations betweenLebanon and nowsplit-upSocialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Both countries self-identified with the widerMediterranean region and shared membership in theNon-Aligned Movement. Formal bilateral relations between Lebanon and Yugoslavia were established in 1946.[1] Lebanon participated at the 1961 First Conference of Heads of State or Government of the Non-Aligned Movement in Belgrade.[1] Both countries experienced significant instabilities and conflicts[2] with weak central authorities which in Yugoslav case led to complete dismemberment of federal institutions and violent breakup of the state. Instability in both countries led to the establishment of special courts; theSpecial Tribunal for Lebanon andInternational Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.[3]
Two countries had a long shared history in which at different points both were entirely or partially included in theHellenistic period,Roman Empire,Byzantine Empire,Ottoman Empire, French administration (Illyrian Provinces andGreater Lebanon). Both regions are religiously and culturally diverse with points of convergence representingIslam in Lebanon and Yugoslavia (Bosnia,Kosovo,Serbia,North Macedonia),Eastern Orthodoxy in Lebanon and Yugoslavia (Serbia,Montenegro,North Macedonia) Eastern CatholicMaronite Church andGreek Catholic Church of Croatia and Serbia.
After they established formal bilateral relations two countries signed agreement on trade in 1954, air transportation agreement in 1955, cultural cooperation agreement in 1962 and tourism cooperation agreement in 1972.[1] Both Lebanon and Yugoslavia underwent substantial economic and social modernization in the period after the end of World War II which affected different regions to a different extent.[4]
