In the 50s and 60s, Yugoslav diplomats would go to Asian countries or Africa and essentially say: "We are not the USSR or China. We are only a nation of 26 million and have no imperialistic ambitions like the USSR and China. 

We don’t want you to be, basically, our 'bitch' like the Chinese and Soviets do! We’re here just to help you have your socialist revolution without expecting anything in return." The whole non-alignment movement was part of that.
