Ever since then, Yugoslavia and Canada have been getting along better & better. The two countries have just elevated their respective envoys to the rank of ambassador (for Canada, J. Scott Macdonald will be shifted from the embassy in Rio de Janeiro to the new one in Belgrade; for Yugoslavia, Minister Rade Pribicevic in Ottawa has been prompted).
