Werth, Alexander | November 12, 1949 issue

add to cart   close window

In December 1948, it was said that Soviet diplomat and jurist Andrei Y. Vishinsky would address a solemn warning to the Western powers, "Hands off the Balkans!" Thereupon Hungarian, Rumanian, Bulgarian and Albanian troops will invade Yugoslavia and set up a Cominform government, after which the war in Yugoslavia will become almost a purely Yugoslav affair. The weakness lies in the two facts that Yugoslavs have a large army, estimated by Western observers at 500,000 to 600,000, which, though not particularly well armed, can cope with Hungarians and Bulgars and that Albanian and Rumanian troops could in no case be relied upon to fight Yugoslavs.
