My opponent (Schwietr) obviously has wrong information about the former
Yugoslavia. The first Yugoslavia was founded in 1918. as the Kingdom of Serbs,
Croats and Slovenians, by the free will of those three nations. The "second"
Yugoslavia (Socialistic Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) was formed after the
World War 2, also by free will of its national entities. According to the
Yugoslavian Constitution all parts had the right to leave the union - but under
agreement with other parts (I think that this is democratic).

The split of the former Yugoslavia was realized by one-sided seccessions of each
of its part, and that was obviously violating the Constitution.

I wonder if some part of, lets say USA, for example Texas, would try to separate
from the federation by one-sided decision, would the federal US army allow
that? I guess not.
But Yugoslav federal army was put under pressure by the entire world community
to allow one-sided seccessions of some parts of the former Yugoslavia (Slovenia,
Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia). WHY?
I clame that those seccessions were not only supported, but also initiated by
Europe
