Ambassador of Yugoslavia to EEC (1977-1981)
Bora Jeftić was Yugoslavia’s ambassador to the EEC from 1977 to 1981. As such, he was one of the leading actor behind Yugoslavia’s negotiations for the EEC-Yugoslavia Co-operation agreement in 1980. During the turbolent post-1974 period, Jeftić, as his predecessors, was able to keep the balance of bilateral relations with the EEC straight. As his predecessors, he confirmed the Yugoslav embassy to the EEC as a trait-union between the European Commission and the Yugoslav ministries of foreign trade, foreign affairs and finance. In his reports to the Federal executive council (Veselin Djuranović and Stojan Andov) he confirmed the marked political dimension of his mission. Especially after the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan in December 1979, Jeftić confirmed the political dimension of Yugoslavia’s dealings with the EEC.
