10877. British Ambassador to Belgrade who is in London today remarked to Foreign Office official that in his opinion although Moscow would not always back Tito to the hilt it would not take any action which would jeopardize the position of Communist Party in Yugo. Stevenson therefore did not believe that Soviets would ever associate themselves with any representations to Tito regarding internal structure of Yugo or suggestions regarding elections.
Sent to Department as 10877; repeated to Belgrade as 31.
