Good morning, Former Lib. Still upholding the Serb standard for truth, I see.

A war with Slovenia? You can't even get your lies right

History and about 284,000 web-sites disagree with you.

As this Slovene writes below, the Slovene war for independence had several causes, but was sparked by Milosevic's nationalist agenda and oppression in Kosovo. The Slovenes did not want the same treatment.

As soon as Kosovo's duly elected government was forcefully ousted by the Serbian leadership, the government of the Socialist Republic of Slovenia sought to bring this violation of the 1974 Yugoslav Constitution (as well as the infringements of the rights of the Albanian majority of this province) to the attention of the international community. For Slovenes the events in Kosovo were an omen of what could happen to them and the other small republics and provinces of the federation. Once the Yugoslav League of Communists was dissolved into republican factions and the federal presidency was effectively in the hands of protagonists for a "Greater Serbia" there remained for Slovenia no other recourse than to request that the federal constitution be re-negotiated to guarantee the sovereignty of the federation's constituent republics and autonomous provinces

That's gabrage. You did nto read all 284,000 of them! What a crock.

As far as that Slovene's distorted presentation of history -is concerned - it suits your agenda, but that doesn't make it true. If you actually knew the former Yugoslavia, rather than knowing something about it, you would have known that the Slovenes always acted as if they were doing someone a favor for being in Yugoslavia, when in fact it was Yugoslavia that gave them a state for the first time in their history. Their "gratitude" is impressive but not surprising for reasons you will never understand.

It was Slovenia that passed a law that placed the federal Constitution in subordinate position to the Slovenian constitution, an act of juro-political insanity, unheard of and unknown in the world, but very real and possible in the Mickey Mouse state called Slovenia.

You are just dumping a bunch of out-of-context information to obfuscate the issue and promote your warped but very real Serbophobic mind.
