What is the relationship between the former Yugoslavia and emigration to France?

It can only be said that Yugoslavia and France have a traditional friendship in history. In order to resist the influence of Habsburg dynasty in the Balkans, France infiltrated into the Balkans and started the friendship between France and the former Yugoslavia, mainly with Serbia. Later, France and Serbia fought side by side in World War I, and on the peace statue of Kalemeg Castle in Belgrade, the words were written: We love France as much as they love us.

In the Balkan War, France basically sided with Yugoslavia. The same is true of World War II.

After World War II, Yugoslavia went abroad in the 1960s and 1970s. Many people came to France, Germany and other western European countries, more Serbs went to France, and more Croats went to Germany to teach. These are mainly for work, and some refugees came to France after the civil war. These people mainly live in Paris, Lyon, Strasbourg and Leopold, Genaux.
