4. In the first decades of existence
of Federal National Republic of
Yugoslavia (FNRJ)
the main power of decisionmaking was concentrated in the
hands of Josip Broz Tito and the
Central committee of
Communist Party.
5. The disintegration of FRY-a process that
cost thousands of lives-commenced only a
year after the demolition of the Berlin
Wall, notably, the unified and extremely
powerful Germany was one of its drivers.

From its birth in 1918 to its death in the 1990’s,
Yugoslavia has always been a whole. Yugoslavia
was kept together by it’s diplomacy and their good
reputation and achievements during the
administration led by Tito.
As a result of his death, neighbors that lived in
peace for decades turned on each other, ethnic
hatred was occurring and republics were declaring
independence one after the other. The country was
gradually falling apart.

Balkan Civil Wars
Creation of the present-day countries created
from the former parts of Yugoslavia are:
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Croatia
Kosovo
Macedonia
Montenegro
Serbia
Slovenia
12. The Balkan wars were a
series of conflicts that led to
the disintegration of the
former Republic of
Yugoslavia. Occurring over
a decade-long period
between 1991 and 2001,
these conflicts ultimately
affected all six former
Yugoslav republics-allegiances were largely
split along republic borders.
13.
Bosnia and Herzegovina aspires to become a
European Union member state. The integration
process will be one of negotiation and
compromise.
Croatia is a candidate country for membership
in the European Union. It joined NATO in 2009
and enjoys a good bilateral relationship with
the United States.
14.
Kosovo Assembly declared the country's
independence in 2008.
"Macedonia" was temporarily designated "the
former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia“;
Greece maintained a trade embargo for the first
several years after Macedonia's declaration of
independence
15.
Montenegro is now an example of a small but
stable state in the West Balkans
The situation in Serbia has resulted in a
residual atmosphere of national
disappointment and aspirations for a "Greater
Serbia" have faded. Fortunately, President
Boris Tadic, who has led the country since
2004, is an internationally-respected leader.
16.
Slovenia is the most flourishing of the former
member states of Yugoslavia, enjoying strong
economic benefits from a stable political
system. The country is a member of NATO and
the European Union. With its strong alliances,
Slovenia will most likely continue to grow in
influence during the 21st century.
17.
The break-up should be regarded as a
dangerous policy that may result in warfare
Transition to democracy is not necessarily
accomplished easily
