The collapse of Tito’s army – the JNA and the disintegration of Yugoslavia 1987 – 1992

From reviews:

Prof. Ph.D. sc. Miroslav Akmadža:
The book sheds light on the role of the JNA as one of the most important factors in the process of the disappearance of communist Yugoslavia. It is the first systematic analysis of the military-political aspects of recent Croatian and Yugoslav history, which provides answers to many previously unanswered questions or provides new data. The author systematically analyzes the ineffectiveness of the JNA and the reasons for its final collapse. This book is of particular importance for historical science, but also for political science, sociology, and military science. It is certain that it will also arouse great interest among the general public due to the fresh memory of recent events.

Dr. Zdenko Radelić:
The author systematically and documented, often using previously unknown sources, described and explained the role of the JNA in the collapse of the SFRY. In the war for Serbian national goals at the expense of other former Yugoslav nations and their independent states, the JNA transformed into three Serbian armies. He devoted the most space to events in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, but did not neglect events in Slovenia and Kosovo. Although he deals with military organization, this is not military history in the narrow sense of the word: the political role and activities of the JNA leadership are presented in detail, especially in 1991.

Greater Serbian National Programs – Origins and Consequences

Short content:
Greater Serbia is a political coinage that hardly needs explaining. It implies the political intention (and its implementation) to establish a Serbian state based on unilaterally interpreted ethnic and historical criteria, which would encompass neighboring territories that objectively belong to other nations and states or state communities.
This form of state megalomania is not a Serbian peculiarity. Many nations, large and small, have “suffered” from it at certain periods of their history, and among the latter were those (Poles, Lithuanians, Bulgarians, Albanians, Croats, Greeks…) who were late in establishing nation-states. In these cases, the proclaimed national-romantic aspiration for a “great state” can also be seen as a factor in the political mobilization of nations in difficult situations.
The term Greater Serbia itself, as well as the corresponding terms that were associated with other nations, was generally not used in political programs. It was mostly assigned from the outside, often with a certain discrediting aim, because it implied unpopular expansionism to the detriment of neighboring nations. Moreover, everyone tried to dismiss it as something politically inopportune, because “great statehood” was always on the verge of disrupting neighborly relations, disrupting relations in a wider area, or jeopardizing some former international agreements. Therefore, such programs in our environment appear on the eve of some important events such as the fall of the Ottoman Empire, on the eve of and during the world wars, and before the collapse of Yugoslavia, or communism, when “redrawing borders” is easier to defend as “correcting injustices” and can be placed in the context of “redressing the situation” and stabilizing the region for a longer period of time…
