Abstract:

This article observe changes which took place after death of Yosip Broz Tito. His internal policy was concentrated in suppression of nationalist sentiment and promotion of “brotherhood and unity” of the six Yugoslav nations. He built the Yugoslav federation using the model of USSR and solved the national question with principles of national right: equality and full sovereign of all nations, right of self-determination, removal of national and national-religious privileges, free development of national minorities and ethnical groups, funding of less development nations with goal equality between the nations, etc. After Tito‘s death in 1980, tensions between the Yugoslav republics emerged and in 1991 in the country started processes of disintegration. The period 1980–1992 was period of democracy of western type typical with economic and financial interference of International Monetary Fund and World Bank. Domination of one political party was replaced by multiparty system. Reached consequences in close future were disintegration of the federation, crash between religions, run raised nationalism and separatism. All these brings after them reversion of past Western influence of, for example United States of America, Germany and Austria, in this region. Disintegration of Yugoslavia and construction of new states is kind of challenge for member-states of NATO, which are factor in new structuring of the Balkans and „New world order “after the Cold War.
