INDIJSKA NUKLEARNA PROBA 1974. GODINE – ODJECI U JUGOSLAVIJI
INDIJSKA NUKLEARNA PROBA 1974. GODINE – ODJECI U JUGOSLAVIJI
After years-long research, Indian scientists carried out a successful nuclear explosion on May 18, 1974 in the Rajastan desert. Although Indian officials immediately stated that it was a „peaceful nuclear explosion“, and that they did not intend to make a nuclear weapon, India had become the 6th nuclear power and the first non-aligned country to come into „the nuclear club“. This lead to a strong criticism on the international stage, especially by Pakistan, as well as by great powers and some non-aligned countries. As a member of the Non-aligned Movement, closely alligned with India, Yugoslavia carefully tracked statements and explanations given by Indian officials, systematically noted and analyzed responses of individual countries, and calmly created its own view toward the Indian nuclear test. Yugoslav diplomacy promptly congratulated India its huge technological success, defending the right of all countries, including India, to develop research in the field of nuclear energy, thereby granting full trust to Indian official statements that they did not intend to use their achievements in military purposes. Further, the Indian nuclear explosion resurected the previous nuclear ambitions of Yugoslav state leadership, primarily of Josip Broz Tito. The Yugoslav nuclear program was relaunched, including the examination of possibilities for exploiting nuclear energy for military purposes. Yugoslav leaders expected great help from India in this matter, so they undertook efforts to intensify cooperation between the two countries in the field of nuclear energy, and to spread that cooperation to other nonaligned countries. However, Indian assistance, being much less than expected, did not contribute to the Yugoslav nuclear program, which, owing to many weaknesses, produced modest results in civilian research, and did not achieve any success in the military field.

Istraživanje pojedinačnih problema iz istorije drugog svetskog rata u Jugoslaviji prisutno je u našoj naučnoj istoriografiji više od tri decenije. Težište interesovanja istoričara bilo je pri tome na vojnim i političkim pitanjima - oslobodilačkom ratu, revoluciii, kontrarevoluciji. Mada od velike važnosti, ekonomska problematika nije posebno obrađivana. Mesto joj je davano uglavnom u radovima većeg obima, a u kontekstu drugih područja istraživanja.

INTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY SERVICES IN TITO’S YUGOSLAVIA 1944–1966
INTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY SERVICES IN TITO’S YUGOSLAVIA 1944–1966
The article provides a detailed overview of the Yugoslav intelligence and security services from their inception toward the latter part of World War II and the early stages of the Cold War. It is written based on the partially declassified documented sources of the state security service in the Archives of Yugoslavia and on the in-depth research of the Military Security service sources in the Military Archives in Belgrade, still less known in the domestic scientific public in Serbia and the Former Yugoslavia. The author used literature mostly written by contemporary witnesses from the security services and incorporated facts gathered in several interviews with senior security officials.
