The Treaty of Vis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of Vis (Serbo-Croat: Viški sporazum) (also known as the Tito-Šubašić Agreement) was an attempt by the Western Powers to merge the pre-war royal government of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia with the communist-led partisans who were defending the country in the Second World War and were de facto rulers on the liberated territories.
It was signed on island of Vis (in Croatia) on June 16, 1944 by Josip Broz Tito, the leader of the partisans, and Ivan Šubašić, envoy of the king and previously a ban of Croatia in the old kingdom. The actual formation of a new government waited until November 2, 1944 and the Belgrade Agreement.
