How to export images into subdirectory in GIMP?

I use GIMP for some batch editing, part of this is exporting painting with the filename taken from original image "filename" with this code:

pdb.file_png_save_defaults(ima, drawable, fullpath, filename)

At this moment, I have

fullpath=filename

so it saves the image into same folder as the source and filename and fullpath are identical.

What I want to do is to put it into subdirectory in this folder, lets call it "subfolder". But if I try:

fullpath = '\subfolder\'+filename

I get an error, obviously, because I am working with Python (or any programming language) for like half an hour and I hardly know what I am doing. Does anybody know how to achieve exporting images into a subfolder?

UPDATE:

Now it looks like this

sourcename = pdb.gimp_image_get_filename(ima)
basedir = os.path.dirname(sourcename)

if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(basedir,'Subfolder')) is False:
    os.makedirs(os.path.join(basedir,'Subfolder'))

fullpath = os.path.join(basedir,'Subfolder',filename)

... and it works well. Almost. Now I am facing the problem with diacritics in basedir. When basedir contains something like "C:\Úklid\" I get "no such file or directory" error when code is creating Subdirecotry in it. After I rename the source folder to "C:\Uklid\" it works with ease. But I do need it to work with every path valid in Windows OS. Can someone help me with that?

UPDATE 2:

Looks like unicode() did the trick:

sourcename = pdb.gimp_image_get_filename(ima)
basedir = os.path.dirname(sourcename)

if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(basedir,'Subfolder')) is False:
    os.makedirs(unicode(os.path.join(basedir,'Subfolder')))

fullpath = os.path.join(basedir,'Subfolder',filename)

Try this out:

import os

sourcename = pdb.gimp_image_get_filename(ima) # gets full name of source file
basedir= os.path.dirname(sourcename) # gets path
name = pdb.gimp_layer_get_name(ima.layers[0]) # gets name of active layer
filename = name+'.png'
fullpath = os.path.join(basedir,'subfolder',filename) # use os.path.join to build paths
# new line vvv
os.makedirs(os.path.join(basedir,'subfolder')) # make directory if it doesn't exist
drawable = pdb.gimp_image_active_drawable(ima)
pdb.file_png_save_defaults(ima, drawable, fullpath, filename) # saves output file
