Following military success by Yugoslav Partisans the new authorities in the country wanted to gain international recognition by the Soviet Union, United Kingdom and the United States in opposition to the Yugoslav government in exile.[9] Moscow and London were well informed about the events during the World War II in Yugoslavia already in fall of 1941.[10] Ahead of the Moscow Conference in October 1943 Tito informed Soviet authorities that his movement does not recognize the Government in exile and that they will prevent the King of Yugoslavia in any effort to return to the country as it may initiate a civil war.[11] Moscow was restrained and reserved in its support to Yugoslav Partisans in fear that it may antagonize western allies.[12] Soviets were therefore irritated by radicalism of the Second Session of the Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia which was organized without any prior consultations with the Soviet Union.[12] Soviet military mission to Yugoslav Partisans arrived in February of 1944, at the time when there already was already British mission since February of 1942.[9] Tito left the island of Vis on 19 September 1944 and on 21 September he met with Stalin in Moscow.[13] With support in logistics and air power from the Western Allies, and Soviet ground troops in the final stage of the war during the Belgrade offensive, the Partisans eventually gained control of the entire country and of the border regions of Trieste and Carinthia. While Soviet support at the final stage of war was significant, particularly in the northeast of the country (Vojvodina, Slavonia, Belgrade), Yugoslav communists, unlike most Eastern European communists, did not base their victory primarily upon the Red Army offensive.[14] The Soviet Union agreed not to treat northern liberated parts of Yugoslavia as occupied territories (like the rest of the territories in Europe) and that the daily life will be organized by the local civil administration.[15] During the six months of the Red Army's presence in Yugoslavia civil authorities received reports on 1219 rape cases, 359 rape attempts, 111 murder, 248 attempts to murder and 1204 robberies with injured individuals.[16] Tito expressed his anger with such developments and with efforts to recruit Yugoslav soldiers and police officers into Soviet secret services.[17] During the meeting with Andrija Hebrang in January of 1945 Stalin referred to reports of inappropriate behavior, but underlined that those were isolated cases.[17] Later that year, during the new meeting between Stalin and Tito, Yugoslav leader once again complained about rape cases in Belgrade which left Soviet leader without a word.[17]
