PK(F) conveniently skips the prelude to the break up of Yugoslavia- the Serbs waited until the presidency rotated to their turn, then simply refused to let go.Installing their nominees in the army and other points of power, they left the remaining states the choice of living under Serbian natianalist domination or declaring independence. Slovenia got away peacefully, Croatia (with its own baggage that the constitution was designed to reign in, and had more-or-less done so) far less so. The last state available for domination was the split state (not a pun) of Bosnia-Herzogovina. Which is when Milosevic got really nasty, to save his own face at home.

The completely daft thing is that they are all queuing up to join the EC now, which involves opening the borders anyway. And the whole episode should be a stark reminder to our own racists, that even if they succeed in their aspirations, they will only serve to destroy their own country.
