Yugoslavia really wasn't beyond the Iron Curtain. After the Tito-Stalin split in 1948 it was "unaligned", still communist but sitting on two chairs. Lots of technology from the West was imported, even our sole nuclear power-plant was built by Westinghouse in the 80's. Sure, there was also lots of technology from the Eastern bloc (especially East Germany) and attempts to build things domestically. It was a weird mix.
