Answer 4

Bigredan gave the most appropriate answer. Tho Albania, for quite some time was another satellite of USSR, later on they departed from the USSR club thx to the caprices of Enver Hoca, the absolute dictator of Albania. Yugoslavia had somewhat good relations with Soviet Union but Tito was a man of strategy and when he didnt like something Russians did he was leaning his back against West, he was playing push and pull always. Tho they also started out as pro-USSR like Albania did.

Wiki provides good info about GI BILL
