Guyana–Yugoslavia relations were historical foreign relations between Guyana and now split-up Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia developed diplomatic interest in Guyana as a part of its prominent and active involvement in the Non-Aligned Movement. As a European and Mediterranean country and the founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement Yugoslavia was suspicious of Cuban Tricontinental (African-Asian-Latin American) proposals and emphases within the movement which Belgrade perceived as indirect Soviet efforts to undermine Yugoslavia. Guyana was perceived as an alternative voice in Latin America while the country itself perceived the Non-Aligned Movement as an opportunity for foreign policy affirmation.[1]

Two countries developed various forms of cooperation which never turned into significant economic links. Guyana People's Militia of the Guyana Defence Force was modeled on a similar institutions developed by the Yugoslav People's Army.[2] After the breakup of Yugoslavia Guyana's judge Mohamed Shahabuddeen has been thrice elected as a permanent judge of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.[3] Since there was no one single successor state of Yugoslavia all former republics participated in succession in which Slovenia got the building of the former Yugoslavia's embassy in Georgetown.[4]
