Abstract

Through a critical analysis of the relevant literature and archival sources kept in the Archives of the United Nations in New York, the article outlines the provision of supplies and repatriation of the displaced Yugoslavs from Italy back to Yugoslavia with the mediation assistance of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). Immediately after the end of the war, Yugoslavia demanded the repatriation of the displaced persons. However, people kept returning until as late as 1946 and 1947, while many of them emigrated to other countries.
