Складывается впечатление, что сразу после войны Тито вел себя по отношению к американцам как бы не агрессивней Сталина.
Кроме упомянутых инцидентов в воздух, читал еще о регулярных перестрелках югославов с американскими солдатами на итало-югославской границе в тот период времени.
Тито пытался строить Югославию. Для этого ему надо было подавить всех националистов - сербских, хорватских и прочих. С сербскими было проще: они были "удовлетворены" доминированием Сербии в армии. Хорватских мочили нипадеццки - как усташей, так и попов; Тито на этом полностью расплевался с Ватиканом и выглядел "бешеным псом Сталина". Потом ему надоел короткий поводок и он вышел из коминформа и сильно помягчел к церкви (что неудивительно - когда он замочил всех оппонентов в церкви, последняя помягчела к нему).

Prime Minister Josip Broz Tito met with the president of the Bishops' Conference of Yugoslavia, Aloysius Stepinac on 4 June 1945, two days after his release from imprisonment. The two could not reach an agreement on the state of the Catholic Church. Under Stepinac's leadership, the bishops' conference released a letter condemning alleged Partisan war crimes in September, 1945. The following year Stepinac was arrested and put on trial. In October 1946, in its first special session for 75 years, the Vatican excommunicated Tito and the Yugoslav government for sentencing Stepinac to 16 years in prison on charges of assisting Ustaše terror and of supporting forced conversions of Serbs to Catholicism. Stepinac received preferential treatment in recognition of his status and the sentence was soon shortened and reduced to house-imprisonment, with the option of emigration open to the archbishop. At the conclusion of the "Informbiro period", reforms rendered Yugoslavia considerably more religiously liberal than the Eastern Bloc states.
In the first post war years Tito was widely considered a communist leader very loyal to Moscow, indeed, he was often viewed as second only to Stalin in the Eastern Bloc. Yugoslav forces shot down American aircraft flying over Yugoslav territory, and relations with the West were strained. In fact, Stalin and Tito had an uneasy alliance from the start, with Stalin considering Tito too independent.
