 Introduction: The Balkans Babylon
Legally, Second Yugoslavia ceased to exist in April 1992 – just after Bosnia-Herzegovina seceded and plunged into civil war – when the last remaining territories of the old federation joined to form the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
It was named Yugoslavia in 1921, by the edict of King Aleksandar I Karadjordjevic, who became the king of Yugoslavia much like Kaiser Wilhelm I became the emperor of Germany, or Vittorio Emmanuel the king of Italy.
Ironically, Milosevic cemented his own power by pretending to defend Yugoslavia with the same Communist ideology – which rested on denying all that was Serbian as dangerous and counter-revolutionary – that had partitioned and retarded Serbia for years.

The second Yugoslavia is an illustration to this point: the Yugoslav People's Army was counted among the strongest in Europe and yet, the conflict and war could not have been avoided by the presence of military stocks.
Conflicts in the territory of the second Yugoslavia could not and can not be eliminated in the short run, neither by using domestic armies, police and similar forces (even during the wars in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia), nor by humanitarian activities of UNPROFOR units, nor by actions for establishing peace by force.
It seems that, for a theoretical handling of the issues pertaining to Yugoslavia and some neighboring countries (and maybe some other states in Central and Eastern Europe), it is significant to understand that the lack of social consensus in regard to the state idea was frequently compensated by a strengthening of the mentioned institutional element.

The Real IRA was also hard hit by the seizure in Split, Croatia, last year of a major arms shipment already paid for with cash earned primarily from smuggling cigarettes and other contraband.
The cache seized in Croatia, in a truck parked in a warehouse in the town of Dobranje, about 40 miles southeast of Split, included seven RPG-18-type weapons, as well as AK-47 rifles, a sizeable quantity of ammunition, and 20 packs of Yugoslav-made military explosive.
The upsurge in Real IRA operations - the Army describes it as the 'second phase' - is a remarkable turnaround for a terror group that was an international pariah two years ago.

 E/CN.4/1997/56 - Report of the Special Rapporteur on the former Yugoslavia
Communities in Croatia proper have also proved capable of violence, as on 7 December 1996 when a group of Croatian Serb displaced persons from the Region who had gone to visit the village of Petrinja, in former Sector North, was assaulted by an angry mob unrestrained by Croatian police officers present at the scene.
Whereas these elections were not contested, the second round of municipal elections held in Serbia on 17 November 1996 sparked widespread and persistent protests by thousands of peaceful demonstrators in major cities, including the largest in Belgrade since 1991.
The Government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia should take appropriate and prompt action to rectify the situation presented by the contested elections, notably by implementing the conclusions of the investigation conducted by the OSCE which found that the opposition coalition had won the elections in Belgrade and other major Serbian cities.
