Albania–Yugoslavia relations (Albanian: Marrëdhëniet Shqipëri-Jugosllavi; Serbo-Croatian: Albansko-jugoslavenski odnosi, Албанско-југословенски односи; Slovene: Odnosi med Albanijo in Jugoslavijo; Macedonian: Односите Албанија-Југославија) were historical foreign relations between Albania (both Kingdom of Albania 1928-1939 and the People's Socialist Republic of Albania 1946–1992) and now broken up Yugoslavia (Kingdom of Yugoslavia 1918-1941 and Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia 1945–1992). With occasional periods of friendly relations or efforts to improve relations, the two countries predominantly maintained cold or openly hostile relations. The period of close relations developed right after the end of World War II when Yugoslavia pushed for socioeconomic integration of Albania into Yugoslavia within the Balkan Federation (bargaining with the idea of unification of Albania with kinship region of Kosovo); however, the two countries turned to sharp antagonism after the 1948 Tito–Stalin split.
