Hello comrades, wonder if you could help me out.
I'm interested in learning more about Che's trip to Yugoslavia, but I can't find any information anywhere :(

I heard at the Croatian TV the other day that while Che visited Belgrade (dunno which year) he was very eager to find out as much as he could about Yugoslav partisan military tactics during WWII.
Other then that I really lack some good info.
I presume Che came to Yugoslavia for the summit of the non aligned movement, but I might be mistaken, cause I don't even know what year this trip occurred.

BTW, only image I managed to find is this one:

It shows Che and Tito shaking hands, I believe this was in Belgrade.

Any info on the event - please share. thanks ! :)

Guevara’s roles in Cuba from 1959 to 1961 (http://www.nodo50.org/cubasigloXXI/congreso08/conf4_yafeh.pdf)


"Leading the first overseas mission to expand trade and relations. During this three month trip, Guevara went to Yugoslavia. His first experience with the Soviet economic management
system. Guevara described Yugoslavia as ‘managerial capitalism with a socialist distribution
of the profits’ and pointed possibility that competition between enterprises could distort the
socialist spirit."
