What's your opinion on the shitshow occured in Balkans during '90s we know as "Yugoslav Wars" ? IMO Serbs weren't that guilty since they wanted to keep old Yugoslavia or at least create a confederative Yugoslavia, while Croatia wanted a straight out independence, and Bosnia wanted a single Muslim state where Muslims made only nearly 50% of population

They wanted to keep Yugoslavia with a clearly Serbian biased leader, which Tito was not.
The other Yugoslav nations decided to part, Serbia simply didn't want to let go of its power and regional influence. They are totally to blame.

total nonsense, the serbs pretty much gave up on the yugoslav project and just wanted to use the visage of it as a vehicle for a greater serbia

Yes, and no.
It's a LOT more complicated.
The actual right wing nationalist forces were against Milosevic during pretty much the whole conflict.
I mean the Serbian right wing, monarchist, anti communist SPO held massive protests before the war started, trying to bring him down. There were tanks on the streets.
People often say that Milosevic was a nationalist. And that's wrong. He was a Machiavellian communist scumbag to the bone, he employed populist rhetoric for his own power, he wanted the people to see him as the reincarnation of Leka Rankovic.
He gladly let the Croats ethnically cleanse Serbs, because the alternative would have undermined his power over the country (he didn't want any kind of autonomy anywhere).
HE DIDN'T LET THE SERBIAN REFUGEES IN, HE BLOCKED THE ROADS WITH POLICE. HE SENT THEM TO KOSOVO, BECAUSE HE DIDN'T NEED THEM.
In a masterstroke of gerrymandering he held 80% of the representatives with 45% of the votes.
The LIBERALS often criticized him for not helping Bosnian Serbs. (The ones who nationalists often claim are traitors).
He had a 19.810,2 % inflation rate.
When the guy who managed to stabilize the currency stated that the government can't keep ignoring international monetary institutions, he was sacked.

Bosnia should have never happened.
Croatia and Serbia should have partitioned it, like the plan was.
It would have avoided so much bloodshed. Goddamn Alija.
And Croatia should have immediately given autonomy to Krajina.

Izetbegovic did nothing wrong.

Arguable.
> Croatia and Serbia should have partitioned it, like the plan was.
Eh, the Croats would then get 2 million Muslims while the Serbs would get the cake, never happening.
> It would have avoided so much bloodshed. Goddamn Alija.
So would Serbs not being cunts and just accepting independence.
> And Croatia should have immediately given autonomy to Krajina.
Fuck no, then they would have the exact same situation Serbia now has with Kosovo.
Croats were the bad guys in ww2, but in this war, the Serbs were the cunts.

Croats were pretty damn bad for the Bosnians too.
>>2517816
Autonomy doesn't necessarily mean a road to independence. The bulk of it wouldn't have a border with Serbia.

> Croats were pretty damn bad for the Bosnians too.
That is because two dudes in the government fucked it all up.
They literally started assassinating Croat leaders that wanted an alliance with Bosnia.
> Autonomy doesn't necessarily mean a road to independence.
It does, that is why the Serbs in Krajina refused the option of autonomy when Croatia gave them a last chance to avoid bloodbath;
