  Wars of Yugoslav Succession - MSN Encarta
Presidents Alija Izetbegović of Bosnia and Kiro Gligorov of Yugoslav Macedonia were equally fearful of either a violent breakup of Yugoslavia or of Serb domination of a federation with a stronger central government.
Only Yugoslav Macedonia, where Gligorov was to negotiate the peaceful exit of the Yugoslav army in March 1992, would escape the wars of the 1990s.
The Yugoslav army, which was gradually deserted by its non-Serb officers and conscripted soldiers, became an almost exclusively Serb army.

 Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia at AllExperts
The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was the Yugoslav state that existed from the end of World War II (1945) until it disintegrated in the Yugoslav wars in the 1990s.
The Yugoslav wars, consequent loss of market, as well as mismanagement and/or non-transparent privatization brought further economic trouble for all former republics of Yugoslavia in the 1990s.
Each of the six Republics had their own "territorial defense", a National Guard of sorts, which were established in the frame of a new doctrine called "general people's resistance" as an answer to the brutal end of the Prague Spring by the Warsaw Pact in Czechoslovakia.

 Yugoslavia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During June and July 1917, the Yugoslav Committee met with the Serbian Government in Corfu and on 20 July a declaration that laid the foundation for the post-war state was issued.
The Yugoslav Committee was given the task of representing the new state abroad.
But Marković had coupled his Yugoslavism with the IMF "Shock Therapy" programme and EC conditionality and it was this which gave the separatists in the North West and the nationalists in Serbia their opening.

Yugoslav delegations were reluctantly received in a number of countries, while few delegations from abroad came to Yugoslavia.
It is generally known that in the media war which followed the Yugoslav crisis, Yugoslavia and its diplomacy were the weaker and less organised side, even though the struggle for the hearts and minds of the public, especially at such a critical time, was one of the most important tasks and most decisive factors.
While in the media the Yugoslav effort was weak, the contribution of Yugoslav diplomacy to the efforts aimed at a peaceful settlement of the conflict, at general stabilisation in the region and, therefore, at a formal lifting of sanctions, is more evident, particularly in light of the obstacles and restrictions it had to overcome.

The official said the document asserts that Yugoslav scientists have been working on the development of a turbojet engine for a medium- to long-range cruise missile called CM 1500.
It also alleges that Yugoslav scientists have made repeated visits to Iraq since early 2001 to complete work on the project, and that the contracts were arranged by the state defense conglomerate, Yugoimport.
But sources within the Yugoslav government said the evidence presented by the United States directly contradicted those claims and suggested Yugoslav firms had been working to update Iraq's military arsenal and equip Iraq with a weapon that could accurately target neighboring states.

 Serbian Nationalism and the Origins of the Yugoslav Crisis: Peaceworks: U.S. Institute of Peace   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The first Yugoslav state (1918-41) was not only unable to pacify internal conflicts and dilute rigid national ideologies, but its collapse in World War II left no mechanisms in place to prevent extreme methods of resolving the national question.
As communism collapsed, the strategies of the political actors in each of the Yugoslav republics were determined by specific elements of the national question on the one hand, and the search for an exit from the communist system on the other.
The abuse of this right in the Yugoslav case underscores the need for such an examination, as the right to self-determination came to be equated with the right of ethnically defined nations/republics to secede from the federation, regardless of the mass violence such an act would surely entail.

 Yugoslav & Serbian MiG-29s
Being L-18, the Yugoslav MiG-29s were consequently serialled in the range 18101 thru 18114, and the MiG-29UBs 15301 and 15302.
Yugoslav MiG-29s saw their first combat during the fighting between the federal Yugoslav Army (Jugoslovenska Narodna Armija, "JNA") and the Slovenian Territorial Forces, in June and July 1991, when they flew CAPs along the borders to Italy and Austria, but apparently did not participate in any of the air-to-ground missions.
But then the higher echelons of the Yugoslav military did their next mistake by ordering the pilots of the 127.LAE to disregard the most logical combat tactics of low-level operations with a subsequent attack-climb, and instead operate at medium levels.

In the absence of any efforts on the part of Yugoslav authorities to bring the perpetrators of humanitarian law violations to justice, the ICTY represents the only avenue to prosecute abusers.
The Yugoslav authorities have consistently refused to accept the jurisdiction of the ICTY, and have frustrated the work of ICTY investigators in Kosovo by denying them visas and barring them from carrying out investigations.
The Yugoslav authorities base their refusal to cooperate with the ICTY on their view that the conflict in Kosovo is an internal dispute with "terrorists," a view repeatedly rejected by the ICTY, the U.N. Security Council, and other international actors, including Human Rights Watch.

 Pablo: The Yugoslav Affair (1948)
The break between the Kremlin and the Yugoslav Communist Party, brought into the open by publication of the Cominform resolution on June 28, is an event of historic importance for an understanding of Stalinism, both in its present situation and development, as well as for the entire revolutionary working-class movement.
The Yugoslav leaders were, even before their struggle with the Cominform, most resolutely opposed to all interpretations of their “New Democracy” as being a “stage” on the road to socialism, and had on many occasions defended the thesis that Yugoslavia was already building socialism.
The Yugoslav Communists emerged from the war, proud of their exploits and enthusiastic for “socialist reconstruction.” Contact with the “Soviet brothers” sent from the Kremlin was probably not the happiest.

The NATO parties also argued that the relief that Yugoslavia asked for, relating to the use of force, was unrelated to the subject-matter of the Genocide Convention, so that the jurisdictional clause contained in the Convention could not serve to establish jurisdiction over the relief requested by Yugoslavia.
In view of its finding that the Yugoslav declaration did not apply ratione temporis, the Court concluded that it did not need to consider the question whether Yugoslavia was a member state of the United Nations and, by virtue of such membership, whether it was a party to the ICJ Statute.
Notwithstanding its rejection of the Yugoslav requests, the Court expressed its deep concern with the human tragedy in Kosovo and with the loss of life and human suffering "in all parts of Yugoslavia." The Court declared itself profoundly concerned with the use of force in Yugoslavia, which "under the present circumstances..

We thought, however, that it would be useful to offer the readers the chronology starting from that year, because this relatively short period in historic proportions abounds in events which directly caused the breakdown of the SFR Yugoslavia and led to war and destruction in some of its parts.
When analyzing the basic causes of the Yugoslav crisis it is necessary to point out to the ones of internal nature.
Ever since the internationalization of the Yugoslav crisis in mid-1991 various international actors - the European Community (Union), CSCE (OSCE), NATO, United Nations, USA, Russia, Great Britain, Germany, France, etc, have been acting with variable effects in their attempts to find a way out of the vicious circle of the Yugoslav conflict.

 Background considerations on the Yugoslav Civil War
It was the doom of the Yugoslav national state, the ruin of the triumph of a hard, harsh, centuries-long, courageous struggle of the Yugoslav (Serbo-Croatian) nation against foreign dominators and for national unity, a unity above religious and cultural diversities, such as exist everywhere.
The wrong political line then adopted by the Yugoslav CP led to its lost of prestige and to a succession of short-lived leadership teams, the last of which was the one headed by Tito.
The unity of an independent Serbo-Croat or Yugoslav state is in fact the achievement of a long struggle against foreign oppressors who had conquered and submitted different parts of Yugoslavia and had used religious divisions in order to hamper the unity of the Yugoslav nation.

The Yugoslav dissidence is the most striking proof of the incompatibility of the extension of the power of the Kremlin even with the existence of Communist parties which are completely isolated from the masses of their countries and are merely branch offices of the GPU.
It is not an exaggeration to anticipate, if the Yugoslav affair evolves favorably, if the Tito regime does not compromise with imperialism but on the contrary develops a more consistent revolutionary line, that we may yet witness the debacle of Stalinism in the years to come on a vast scale.
