Abstract
During 1974.Yugoslav-American relations were characterized by large amplitudes. Relation varied from correct to very bad. Sometimes they were calculated but sometimes with too many emotional reactions. However it can be concluded that relations between two states were based on pure pragmatism. While Yugoslav side had strictly economical and political interests, Americans had strategic interests. It is important to stress that Yugoslavs skillfully used the conflict between East and West to strengthen and preserve state independence. Thanks to the ability to determinate its foreign policy socialist Yugoslavia in this period took the opportunity to position itself very good in compared to its real power. From the Yugoslav point of view it could be said that Yugoslavia found "modus vivendi" within the triangle Moscow-Belgrade-Washington which was acceptable for all sides.
