That same year, he represented his fellow students at the World Youth Congress in Paris where he met Josip Broz Tito, then Secretary of the Yugoslav Communist Party. He then joined the Spanish Civil War, reaching the rank of Captain in the Spanish Republican Army. After the Invasion of Yugoslavia in 1941 by the Axis powers, he became a leader of the Yugoslav Partisans forces in Croatia. In 1944, he advanced to the rank of major general, commanding the Partisan Third Army Corps in Bosnia.
After the end of the war, Tito sent him to Bulgaria as the Yugoslav military and political representative. In 1945, he was named Yugoslavia's first Communist Ambassador to the Soviet Union. In 1946, he was a member of the Yugoslav delegation to the United Nations and part of the Yugoslav Delegation at the Paris Peace conference in Versailles (21 delegations from countries in the Second World War with Germany).
From 1946 to 1947 he was in Moscow, where he helped negotiate economic-cooperation agreements with the Soviet Union. In 1948, the Cominform (an organization 1947–56 established by the Communist parties of nine European countries for mutual advice and coordinated activity) denounced the Yugoslav Communist Party and the Soviet Union imposed an economic blockade on Yugoslavia. He would then become First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and was elected to the Central Committee of the Yugoslav Communist party.[1]
In 1949 he served as chief of the Yugoslav Delegation to the United Nations General Assembly where he sought the aid of Western powers for his country.[1] In 1950, he was named as Ambassador to the United States and pledged a policy of peaceful cooperation. He was influential in obtaining $38 million in food and supplies for his drought–stricken country. He helped obtain $50 million in economic aid from the United States, Britain and France,[1] which was secured after the release of archbishop Aloysius Stepinac. In 1954 he was Chairman of the foreign affairs committee of the Federal People's Assembly of Yugoslavia. From 1955 to 1958, he served as ambassador to China, USA and Vietnam. From 1958 to 1972, he held several different positions. He was a member of the presidium of the Central Committee in charge of Foreign Policy, a member of the Federal Government, the Chairman of the Committee for foreign economic relations, head of goodwill trade missions to Latin America, on missions to members of The Non-Aligned Movement NAM and Secretary to the Presidency until his death 1972 in London.
