Did not know that Yugoslavia was part of this mission. Learn something every day. It's interesting to note that the ribbon suspending the medal was manufactured in the US (corded edge on the ribbon). Do you know if there is a Yugoslavian version of this ribbon?

Thank you Gerardkenny.

Yes, Yugoslavia was part of the mission.

Here is something about it on Wiki:

And something about Yugoslavian participation in a separate topic;

Jean-Paul, there was no Yugoslavian version of this ribbon. The ribbon was the same for Yugoslavian participants.
