The Yugoslavia Crisis (Background Guide) The Yugoslavia Crisis (Background Guide) By Sarah Torres Secretary-General Chris Varghese Directory-General “I am the leader of one country which has two alphabets, three languages, four religions, five nationalities, six republics, surrounded by seven neighbors, a country in which live eight ethnic minorities.” -Josip Broz Tito, former leader of Yugoslavia United Nations – Historical Security Council: On January 17th, 1946, the first Security Council session of the United Nations was held in Westminster, London. Since then, the UN Security Council has held sessions across the world in cities such as Geneva and Panama City, taking permanent residence in New York. The primary goal of the UN Security Council is to ensure international peace and security. Consisting of fifteen members, the Council functions as a medium for conflicting parties to reach a conclusion. In rare circumstances, the Council can also use military force and other pressures to influence peace in the world. Regarding hostile disputes on the international stage, the Security Council’s principal goal is to cease the bloodshed as soon as possible, employing political and economic sanctions, and military actions to create a peaceful situation. This historical Security Council will be taking place in January 1992, shortly after the adoption of UNSC Resolution 724. Member States will include: Austria, Belgium, Cabo Verde, China, Ecuador, France, Hungary, India, Japan, Morocco, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the United States of America, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe. The purpose of this council is to minimize the security crises that are stemming from the breakup of this diverse and conflicted nation. Understand the mission and limitations of the United Nations Security Council to most accurately portray your nation’s positions on this issue. History: During the decade from 1910-1920, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes was created during the aftermath of World War I. The Kingdom was formed of the remnants of the former Austro-Hungarian empire (Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina) as well as Montenegro and Serbia, both of which had formerly existed as one independent state (Serbia). The newly formed Kingdom was informally called ‘Yugoslavia’, which translates to ‘Land of Southern Slavs’ in Serbo-Croatian. During 1929, the Kingdom officially changed its name to ‘Kingdom of Yugoslavia.’ During the Second World War, the Prince Regent and the royal family flew to London a year prior to invasion by the Axis forces. Soon after the war in 1944, the Prince, who came to ruling age in London, acknowledged the Democratic Federal Yugoslavia as the legitimate government. The transfer of power was fully ratified by the Treaty of Vis. According to the forming documents, the Democratic Federal Yugoslavia was intended to be a democracy that ensured certain liberties, such as freedom of speech, assembly, religion, and free press. However, soon after gaining power as Prime Minister, Marshal Josip Broz Tito pushed the government away from democracy. Tito kept the nature of the government very nebulous and declined to label it as either a republic or kingdom. In late 1945, the Constituent Assembly of Yugoslavia renamed the country to the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia and declared the state a republic. Yugoslavia and Tito allied with Stalin’s Soviet Union during the Cold War, which lead to distrust of Yugoslavia in the United States. Yugoslavia also adopted the Soviet model of economics, which led to relative success. Stalin initially backed the legitimacy of Tito and Yugoslavia, but an eventual Tito-Stalin split separated the two. Soon after, on June 28th, 1948, the Communist Information Bureau (Cominform), a coalition of communist parties and a prominent tool used by Soviet Union to control the Eastern Bloc, ejected Yugoslavia from the Cominform. This economically and politically separated Yugoslavia from its communist allies, and the economy began to fail. Dissent began to build in Yugoslavia between forces loyal to Stalin and those loyal to Tito. As Yugoslavia began to separate from the Eastern Bloc, Tito reached out to the West and the United States. The West welcomed the isolation of Yugoslavia from the Soviet Union and started to support them financially and militarily. In the early 1950s, Yugoslavia began to reform and decentralize their political system, following a policy of non-alignment while creating a new economic system. After adopting a unique system of socialism coined ‘Titoism’, Yugoslavia found great success and the annual GDP growth rate averaged 6.1% through the 1980s. To curb ethnic dissent and rebellion, Tito gave the individual republics more liberties, and recognized Kosovo and Vojvodina as autonomous provinces through a new federal constitution in 1974. Given that Kosovo is dominated by Albanians, and Vojvodina is dominated by Serbs but had large numbers of minorities, this shift upset many Serbs as they saw this as a concussion to the 1971 Croatian Spring. On May 4th, 1980, Tito died due to complications from surgery. Given that Tito was an almost religiously adored leader, the years following his death were marked by ethnic and nationalistic tensions. Dissatisfaction with the rising autonomy of formerly marginized groups, such as the ethnic Albanians in Kosovo, stirred nationalist fervor and xenophobia. Background: Yugoslavia is a nation of Serbs, Croats, Slovenes, Bosnian Muslims, Macedonians and Albanians. Given its nature as a multicultural and multiethnic nation, both the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia struggled with creating a unified state. Ethnic strife has been a part of the history of the region since ancient times. Following Tito’s death, power in the Republic was dispersed from the federal government to the various republics by establishing a “collective presidency,” which held little power over policy. The fall of communism in Eastern Europe and the reunification of Germany added to the deterioration of political stability in Yugoslavia. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia’s main unifying incentive, having a common threat, was taken out of the equation, leaving the Republic to focus its attention inward on the its factions, which were starting to break apart. Serbia’s President, Slobodan Milošević, took advantage of the power vacuum that was created in the wake of Tito’s death and incited conflict amongst the Republic with encouragement of Serbian nationalists. Through the use of brute political and military strength and mob rule, Milošević gained control of the formerly-autonomous regions of Kosovo, Vojvodina, and Montenegro by January 1989. With his newly stationed subordinates at the helm of these three provinces, Milošević held 4 out of 8 Presidency votes in Yugoslavia. On May 28th, 1986, he was elected the President of the League of Communists of Serbia. Angered by the belligerent actions of Milošević, 100,000 ethnic Albanians marched in protest through Kosovo. The following year, 100,000 protestors assembled to protest the government of Montenegro, which led to the subsequent resignation of its members. This political vacuum was filled up with politicians loyal to Milošević, increasing the Serbian control of the region. On May 8th, 1989, Milošević became President of Serbia. Within a few months, on June 29th, 1989, Milošević spoke of the possibility of future “armed battles” during a speech to 2 million Serbs. During a protest on November 3rd, 1989, police responded violently to Albanian protestors in Kosovo. Later that month, on November 20th, 1989, Slovenia refused to allow protests by Montenegrins and Serbs in Ljubljana. Also, Croatia refused to allow them to pass to get to the Serbian protests. In reaction to the protest ban enacted on November 20, Serbia began an economic blockade against Slovenia on November 29, 1989. Milošević stopped electrical power to Croatia on December 31, 1989. The Albanian protest in Kosovo, numbering 40,000, was forcefully disbanded, using tear gas. In January 26th, 1990, the Yugoslav Defense Minister, Velijko Kadijevic, increased military personnel and created a military plan of action regarding areas with ethnically mixed proportions. On March 4th, 1990, 50,000 Serbs protested in Petrova Gora for the “territorial integrity of Yugoslavia.” Soon after on March 17, Serbian Dusko Cubrilovic attempted to assassinate Croatian politician Franjo Tudman at an election rally. On March 22, 1990, thousands of young students were stricken with illness in Kosovo due to poison or suffered from mass hysteria. While evidence exists for both poisoning and hysteria, Kosovo lacked scientific laboratories necessary for analysis, and analytic findings in external laboratories found conflicting results. On March 1, 1991, the Prakrac Clash, a bloodless skirmish in the town of Pakrac, occurred in a Croatian police station, and the first shots of the Yugoslav Wars were fired. Two days later, the Yugoslav Army was deployed to curtail the Serbian villagers, and this marked the official beginning of the Croatian War of Independence. Soon after on March 9, the Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA) attacked the students at the large student demonstrations taking place in Belgrade. A few days later, on the 15, Milošević stated on Serbian National TV that “Yugoslavia does not exist anymore.” Milošević mobilized the Serbian Special Forces and declared that “Serbia will not recognize any decision made by the Presidency of Yugoslavia.” On May 1 and 2 of 1991, Croatian Police entered Borovo Selo and tried to switch the Yugoslav flag in the town center to the Croatian flag. The police were caught and brutally mutilated by local Serbs. Seeking to reassert control, 150 Croatian police ran into an ambush. This led the Yugoslav Army to create a border line between the two forces. On June 25, 1991, the Slovenian and Croatian parliaments declared independence, which led the JNA towards borders and other exit ports. A Serbian minority in Croatia declared its own independence and its wish to be part of Serbia, which initiated violence between the armed militias.

  • Croatian-Serbian Conflicts and the Dismantling of Yugoslavia (1)
    ПРИЛОЗИ Radoslav Stojanović Professor, Faculty o f Law, Belgrade CROATIAN-SERBIAN CONFLICTS AND THE DISMANTLING OF YUGOSLAVIA (1) INTRODUCTION Like in other As is the case in some multi-ethnic societies, Yugoslav society, too, had t\vo facets: one is of conflict, struggle and dialectics of power; the other is of interdependence, cooperation and mutual support. Indeed, with this snapshot view, conilict appears deviant, an aberration of the system. Howe- ver, concensus and equilibrium, rather than confhct was the defining charac- teristic of the former Yugoslav society. The evidence for such an assessment is to be found in the development of the Yugoslav idea since its inception at the turn of the 19th century. Since that time on, one can observe the following conflicts: (1) The uprising in Bosnia and Herzegovina against Turkish rule, 1875-1878. The armed conflict was between the oppressed Serbs and the Moslems, who vvere the defenders of the Turkish rule. In addition, the Croatian politicians vvere campaigning against the Serbian insurrectionists fearing that the success of the uprising vvould bnng about the unification of Bosnia and Herzegovina vvith Serbia and Montenegro. (2) The 1902 conflict betvveen the Serbian and Croatian political parties in Croatia gave rise to chauvinistic pogroms against Serbs in Zagreb and other Croatian cities, organized by the Franco party, namely the party vvhich was the predecessor of the Ustashas. (3) The period trorn 1919 untrl 1939 was characterized by permanent conflict betvveen the Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian and Moslem ehtes. (4) Since the beginning of the 19th century the relationship betvveen the Serbs and the Albanians vvas one of protracted conflict.

  • A Diplomatic History of the 1998–99 Kosovo Conflict
    FROM DAYTON TO ALLIED FORCE: A DIPLOMATIC HISTORY OF THE 1998–99 KOSOVO CONFLICT by Christian Novak A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Sydney 2017 ii I declare that the research presented here is my own original work and has not been submitted to any other institution for the award of a degree iii Abstract This thesis reconstructs the diplomatic response of the international community to the Kosovo conflict of 1998–99. It outlines the process which resulted in the failure of negotiations involving outside agencies and individuals as well as the recourse to air strikes against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Using primary sourced material from the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, personal interviews and other carefully selected primary sources, this thesis explores why international attempts to find a negotiated solution failed. iv Acknowledgements Numerous people have assisted in the completion of this thesis. I would firstly like to acknowledge my research supervisor, Professor Glenda Sluga, for her guidance over the years. My gratitude is also extended to John Drewienkiewicz, Josef Janning, Richard Miles, Klaus Naumann, and Lord David Owen, all of whom took out time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. In particular, I wish to thank Wolfgang Petritsch. His accessibility and willingness to explain the events of 1998–99 considerably enhanced my own understanding of the crisis. Special thanks is reserved for my parents, Anne and David, who have gone above and beyond to support me.

The effects of this ongoing process range from direct intervention in the breakup of Yugoslavia to more indirect influence in its formation. This research strongly centers on previously established and well accepted theories of globalization to illustrate the consequences globalization had on Yugoslavia specifically. Throughout the research, the concept of critical globalism emerges as the prevailing method in the attempt to explain the events that took place in this region.
