The tragedy of the disintegration of Yugoslavia should be a warning to all the advocates of a federal European Union. The idea that national identities can be ignored or erased is very foolish.

This article also relativizes the responsibility of the Serbs for the failure of the Pan-Slavist idea (which originated in Croatia). I can't believe that so much lack of expertise is the reason.

On top of that there is big discussion of Slovenia is at all party of Balkans (geographically and historically). So why he did not simply use term former Yugoslavia instead of too broad (and thus wrong) term Balkans.

People say Yugoslavia failed because of ethnic tensions, but the truth is that the economic collaps preceeded the ethnic tensions. Tito's communist economic policy and industrial development had failed. As long as he was alive he managed to cover the desaster by taking out foreign loans, which he negotiated with his charisma. But in the 1980ies - when there was a crisis in heavy industry all over Europe - the whole fragility of Yugoslavia's economy became visible. When Tito's successors could not take out new loans, so they financed their debt by printing money. The Yugoslav dinar had incredible rates of inflation. Only with this catastrophic economic development ethnic tensions started to rise again.

But, you can't understand it if you don't know that Slovenes, Croats and Serbs were already crystallized as nations, while Bosnian Muslims and Macedonians had been undergoing such a process somewhat later.

You completely forgot the influence of the Republic of Venice in the region, which dominated almost the whole eastern coast of the Adriatic for centuries. The Adriatic coast was not under Ottoman rule at all but mostly under Venetian rule for centuries with a smaller part (Croatian Litoral, between Rijeka and Starigrad in northern Dalmatia) under Habsburg rule and with the independent Republic of Ragusa (Dubrovnik). Therefore, cultural Italian influences were dominant for centuries at the coast, not Ottoman. Austrian influences were also present in some parts of the coats. Only the extreme southern part of the coast (Bar and Ulcinj in today's Montenegro and Neum in Bosnia and Herzegovina) was part of the Ottoman Empire. The rest of the coast was part of Venice, the Rebuplic of Dubrovnik, and the Habsburg Empire until Napoleon came in 1805. Since 1813 almost all of the Adriatic coast was under Habsburg rule.

The period of détante marked the end of leisurely living in Yugoslavia, since it's geopolitical position was now redundant.

It is interesting to note that out of the 93 generals in the Independent State of Croatia, 13 were Orthodox, including Đuro Grujić, who held the highest military rank. Additionally, some Četniks were also enlisted in the service of the Independent State of Croatia. Services of the Independent State of Croatia saved the lives of American pilots in one occasion, and on the other occasion Četniks as official representatives of the former Yugoslavia savet other group of American pilots. All of these facts contribute to a complex and difficult-to-understand picture, as opposed to the simplified mainstream narrative during communist Yugoslavia.

Nedić's Serbia was "Territory of the Military Commander in Serbia" and was, de facto, directly controlled by Germans. It is extremely important to illuminate the fact how important and vital was the "Moravian Corridor" to Germans, connecting Greece to the central Europe via "Vardar Corridor". Strategically, it was essential for Germans to keep Serbia clean of any resistance and therefore, as soon as Partisans realized futility of their operations, they relocated to Bosnia and Herzegovina, where already was much more significant operational development. Politically, Serbia was broadly, not only unfamiliar with the communist ideas but rather cemented in monarchy. So, whatever the participation in action Partisans have taken, they did it in coordination with Royalist / Chetniks. with whom they split after some time. Partisans were not welcomed in Serbia and, Serbs had relative peace as long they did not rebel. Contrary to to that, in so called "Independent State of Croatia", Serbs were being massacred, hunted and officially put out of the law, together with Jews and Roma. In Dalmatia, for example, where Italians were in control, they supported or tolerated Royalists / Chetniks, much to their favor because Italy had the ambition to incorporate whole Kvarner Gulf, Dalmatia, and if not whole than parts of Slovenia, Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania and Greece in Greater Italy. Being their puppies, Ustashe were even "Monarchy", under Italian King and were not allowed to police these areas as freely as in Bosnia, Slavonia or Croatia proper, where they perpetuated a genocide, triggering a strong resistance. Only after the fall of Italy, in 1943, more significant number of ethnic Croats, mainly from coastal areas and islands, joined Partisans and fought bravely.

Of three Army generals with some general rank obtained during the war until 1945, all three were national Croats. There were the most Croats in all units that led serious military offensive operations in 1944 until 1945. Josip Broz Tito gave, in mid-1944, speaking about the ethnic composition of his army, data on 44% Serbs, 30% Croats, etcetera. Serbs made up about 41% of the population in the area of Yugoslavia, and in the partisan units 44%, while, Croats with about 23% of the population, 30%. In the fateful negotiations on the future of Yugoslavia after the war, the negotiators from the partisan side were Croats Josip Broz and Vladimir Bakarić, and from the royalist Ivan Šubašić, ban of Croatia. Regarding culture in partisans, Croats created the only "culture" worth mentioning. The most prominent artists in the partisans were Croats, or Croatian Serbs, identified with Croatian culture.

While it was thick (1941-43), while Hitler was advancing on all fronts, the units of the resistance movement (one of them was the partisans) were composed mainly of Serbs. There were very few Croats (only Croatian communists). The rest of the Croats were on the side of the Nazis, the Ustasha. But after the Battle of Stalingrad, after the capitulation of Italy, when it was clear that the Germans were losing the war, only then did Croats begin to join the "victorious" partisan units (1944-45). Thus we arrive at the percentages you state, from which you draw conclusions that do not reflect things as they really were.

Is this the PBS documentary with the same title ?

Yugoslavia existed for the better part of the 20th century, from the 1910s to the early 1990s in notable stability, barring minor incidents which the West blows vastly out of proportion to substantiate its premise of Balkanization - a neologism (that has fairly little substantiation in history and ethnography) they've invented for the mere purpose of justifying a number of aggressive and detrimental attempts of subverting the resurging Balkanite states of Serbia, Greece, and Bulgaria, as a retaliation for the three's role in the defeat of the Ottoman Empire (the West's long-lasting ally), and the liberation of the whole peninsula of the aforementioned's rule. Serbia has especially earned the enmity of the Western powers as a result of her endeavors in WW1 which have shattered the Old World order and initiated a subsequent, yet steep withering of the traditional global, colonial powers of the world, and Yugoslavia has established its foreign policy on emancipating the Third World under its leadership and preventing the Western powers from re-establishing themselves as the governing body of its former colonies in Africa, Asia, and the Near East, thus effectively cutting them off from their vital wells of natural resources, thus relegating the West ever-further to the status of mere vassals of the USA. In both cases of Yugoslavia's destruction, meaning in 1941, and 1992, it was destroyed by the hostile foreign policies of great powers, so this "plunged into chaos after Tito's death" premise is not true, and is shameful dehumanizing propaganda.

Yugoslavia was a coercive state in which the Serbs terrorized all their neighbors. Yugoslavia was a product of Serbian nationalism, which was turned into reality with the help of the Entente states in order to crush the Habsburg monarchy. Yugoslavia was a prison for all those who were not Serbs or did not want to be forcibly turned into Serbs. The report does not do justice to this fact either. Your contribution, on the other hand, is pure lying.

Five hundred years of Ottoman rule (or “the Turkish yoke” as commonly heard in Bulgaria), which ended with the Russian-Ottoman war, have intensely marked the Bulgarian consciousness.

There was no ethnic conflict in Bosnia, but plan of Croatia ans Serbia to devide Bosnia. Plan that is centuries old and tried but never succeeded.

Albanians definitely had it rough in Yugoslavia before Tito’s reign. However when Tito took over, there was some improvements but it took a while. By the 1970s Tito improved conditions and gave more autonomy to the Albanians, but when he passed away in 1980 the new regime that followed completely stripped Albanians of their autonomy. Tito believed in his vision and he did try to make everyone happy, but of course that’s an impossible task. Like any politician he had his flaws, but you gotta admit it was pretty impressive on what he achieved there was no war for over 40 years in that country. Sadly the corrupt politicians who took over and induced nationalism ruined the country.

You could have made an effort and told the real truth about the origin of the Ustasha movement. Namely, in 1928, in the National Assembly of Yugoslavia, at the instigation of King Alexander, two Croatian representatives were killed by Serbian nationalists, one was mortally wounded and later died, and two were seriously wounded. This was the reason for King Alexander to dissolve the Assembly, ban all political parties and introduce a dictatorship. This was the reason for the establishment of the Ustaše movement, known as the Ustaniks. King Alexander dreamed of a Serbian empire based on the medieval Serbian empire of Emperor Dušan. And to make the absurdity even greater, the assassin of the Croatian representatives was punished with house arrest, not prison or any other punishment.That is the true reason for the creation of the Ustasha movement.

@@samist8792 You actually didn't understand the gist of my comment at all. The Ustashe movement was born after the assassination of the National Assembly, which was the reason for King Alexander to dissolve the Assembly and ban all political parties, and to adopt a censored Constitution. At the same time, with a stroke of his pen, he redrew the borders of the republics and took away from Croatia parts of the territory that it had brought into Yugoslavia when it joined the alliance. This was the real reason for the establishment of the Ustashi movement. All this happened in 1928, and the Ustasha movement was founded after that, that is, in 1929. In no case do I justify the Ustasha crimes committed by them, and I fully agree with you that Radić himself could have been a later victim of the Ustasha. In the Jasenovac camp, in addition to Jews, Serbs and Roma, victims were also unwitting Croats who did not agree with the Ustasha ideology. The point of my comment is that King Alexander caused the creation of the Ustasha movement with his Great Serbian and aggressive policy.

But you didnt say anything different than what i said. I am not justifying killing of Radic - i am just staying that ideologically he was polar opposite to the ustasa movement. If you let me to expand i am indirectly saying that it is wrong to put all croats under the the same banner of ustasa movement. Croat political landscape was always complex, a lot of croats are embarrassed by ustasa movement. If during the second world war croatia as led by Radic there would be 0 chance of clerofascist policies, 0% chance of genocide on Serbs etc. Radic is simply incompatible with Ustasa ideology.

Nothing new under the sun. You know who was the Trojan horse in this story too.

They can say whatever, but in short the only reason Yugoslavian civilization broke was lack of strong leadership after Tito's death. Balkans is on crossroad of different cultures and world powers and as such it is hot spot where world problems can be seen more directly. And it is in that geopolitical spot since before roman empire existed. This means any country in that region without strong leadership is super vulnerable by default. No new formed stated that arose on ashes of Yugoslavia is really stable to this day. Not even EU or NATO can change much about that. Ah and balkanization which is fragmentation within larger states, regions or societies is now global thing, so you can even say that Yugoslav doom was ominous sign of things that would come to the world... no escape he he he. Ignore what is going in the Balkans on your own risk.

The true is that king gave to there sons names as Serbian and Croatian. But Croatian discovered there final independent from Austro-Hungarian and wanted there separations, even the Serbs fought for it. So they killed the king and started working on independents. Then unconsciously the Croatian comunist dictator Tito come in power and separated everything.

Sorry Milan, but your numbers are nothing else then a part of Serbian fake mitology. Serbian statistician Bogoljub Kočović, already in 1985 estimated the actual total WW2 losses of the pre-war territory of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia at 1,014,000, which was confirmed by demographer Vladimir Žerjavić, whose 1989 estimate was 1,027,000 deaths. Out of this estimation is that 53% were civilians, and 47% were members of various military forces. This was tragic enough so no need for spreading false facts.
