In the late 1940's, Josip Broz Tito leader of Yugoslavia from 1945 to 1980, decided it was best for Yugoslavian interests to develop Nuclear bombs to deter the west and the east from invading. The Tito–Stalin split also did not help in these fears of invasion from the Soviet union, making nuclear bombs seem more valuable then ever before.
The regime of Josip Broz Tito, driven by the desire to protect there sovereignty and to gain international status began a nuclear weapons program in the early 50's. Yugoslavia would Sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty and their nuclear weapons program was quickly shut down. Another Nuclear weapons program was started after India tested their nuclear weapons in on may 18th 1974. This program would eventually be shut down in 1987 but Yugoslavia(and eventually the Republic of Serbia) kept high grade enriched uranium until 2010 which they then gave to the Russian Federation [1] [2]
Before the Yugoslavian breakup and the Yugoslav Wars the Yugoslavian government was able to develop and store several different types of chemical weapons such as mustard gas, sarin agent and blister agents. Mustard gas was prepared and installed at the Prva iski factory in the town of Baric. [3] [4]
The Yugoslavian government allegedly worked with Libya and Iraq to develop Missiles, cruise missiles and anti-naval/land attack missiles capable of carrying WMD's or conventional warheads. Serbia is currently the only former Yugoslav member with a missile program. [1] [5]
During the Yugoslav Wars the Yugoslav Army (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) allegedly used chemical weapons in combat against Bosnian and Croat separatists. Chemical weapons were not confirmed to have been used in the Yugoslav wars by either sides. [6] [7]
