Ambassador of Yugoslavia to EEC (1971-1977)

A permanent member of the Yugoslav delegation within the EEC-Yugoslav Mixed Commission, he was aware of the development of the EEC as an international actor. Between 1974 and 1975, he insisted particularly with Miloš Minić and Boriš Šnuderl on the need to avoid Yugoslavia’s isolation between the EEC and COMECON, at a time when the two regional organisation were developing direct contacts.
