Abstract
The author analyses the causes of the break-up of Yugoslavia and shows that the main cause was the expansion of the Greater-Serbia idea, but was also contributed to by a number of internal problems and changes in the international scene. After the break-up of Yugoslavia, a number of processes are still active and generating conflict: the goal of Serbian expansionists to create a Greater Serbia; the lack of a solution to the Bosnia conflict; the Albanian desire for an independent Kosovo state; Muslim aims of autonomy in Sandjak; a growing sovereignty movement in Montenegro; and continuing Serbian pressure on Macedonia. The author concludes that decisivie international intervention is necessary to prevent deepened conflict and its spread to neighbouring countries.
