This was the main reason why Croatia and Slovenia opposed to it what led to an open conflict.

Even though that's not fully true, it can only be explained by what I
said earlier: CORRUPT LEADERSHIP.
Who in their right mind would expect to give out such a decision,
and not expect tension afterwards.

But, what's sad is that people are sheep, and thus Croats and Serbs see eachother as enemies, while those who ignited the conflict ( and made a huge ammount of money and power ) weren't even blamed.

I suspect these people worked for foreigners, and for their own interests,
not interests of any people.

Also the reason why Croatia and Slovenia propsered opposed to the rest of Yugoslavia was not in Tito....especially since this all was happening 10 years after his death...

It's funny how you try to twist the facts around, I give you that,
you're quite humorous.

Something one does today has effects that go on into the future.
Or is that a problem for you to comprehend?

During the Balkan wars, WW1, WW2, and during the 1990's up until 1999,
the most affected areas were Serbia and Montenegro.
Croatia and Slovenia were out of it.

There's no wonder why Serbia wasn't as developed as other countries which weren't as war-torn.

During the XX century, Serbs managed to build their country up from scratch several times. Which then asks the question why some other countries which evaded wartime destruction didn't succeed more.

Again this is incorrect and I would dare to say a blatant lie. The "Yugoslav" Army and Serb rebel terrorists bombarded more than 1/2(more around 3/5) of Croatia including one of the most advanced and prosperous industrial regions of Osijek along with regions of Zadar, Dubrovnik, Sisak and many more destroying industry in those regions. The regions of Croatia where Serbs were a majority were the poorest regions in Croatia and had almost no industry, but were strickly agrarian(mostly sheep herding, etc...).
This all brought to crushing of the agrarian branch and most of the other industrial branches. The consequences of this can be easily seen if to this day when Slavonia is now a poorest region in Croatia while before the war and before that was the richest province not only in Croatia but in whole region.

I hope you see how ridiculous it looks when you twist facts around and nitpick at other places.

The regions where Serbs lived weren't suited for Industrial development...
just like they still aren't. These areas were a gift to Serbs from Austrians,
so Serbs could defend their imperial borders from Turks. End of story.

The areas were easy to defend from Turks, and not suited for economic prosperity, but for military defense. Hence the name 'Krajina'.

Thats something totally else...

Nah, it isn't. You're just trying desperately to prove
something which can't be proven, because you're lead by emotions
rather than rationality.

The sanctions did nothing to Iraq. The hunger and starvation were caused by Saddam and his lackey. While his people was hungry he built palaces and villas and God knows what else....

What an ignorant statement.

Wow...what an argument...you know until you have actually proven something you cannot claim you proved it.

Indeed. Ironic that it comes from you.

Tito was what he thought of himself. He recognized both his Croatian and Slovenian origins, but above all he considered himself to be a Yugoslav. Also emphasizing that Tito was a Croat and that because of this Croats had some use is a blatant and ignorrant lie. The man lived in Serbia, had a Serb wife and most of his staff was Serb, but that all is totally irrelevant since while he was alive and in power to do what is nescesarry no ethnic group wheter it was a Serb, Croat or Slovene was in favour. After his death...well then it started....

Your point being?

Of course...I think you both proved how objective you are when it comes to issuing warnings. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I don't have nothing about warning people and even banning them if it proves when they are clearly violating the rules of the forum, but Vojvoda and occasianlly you are violating the priiliged position you have as a mod and are showing clear disrespect to this forum and to the people who visit it.

And you have a button to report a bad post, and a forum for complaints,
and there's a rule against complaining outside that area.

Need I remind you of the forum rules so often?
