The "revocation" of the Autonomy? Why would it be suddenly a suddenly recognized Autonomous Region when post-WW2, NATO-nations never recognized the internal boundaries/borders of the shifted boundary lines that Tito created? Those "boundary" lines were included in the new power shift move away from the Serbs in the early 1970's. All this after the Croatian Spring Offensive during that period. hmmm...
That autonomous declaration was not done in accordance to the "Yugo" Constitution making it mute.
That was done illegaly and done hurriedly due to his knowing it would further weaken the Serb political power base. There was much anger that the Croats were given more power then the Serbs were being stripped of their clout.
That was when the failed assassination attempt prompted him to rush/run it through in illegal fashion to get that auto/region a done deal.
In essence, the illegality ways makes that province nonexistance, but only in Tito's constitution.
You want to go deeper, we can go deeper Mark.
Americans back home have absolutely no idea about what the Balkans is all about....and what actually happened. Granted, the Serbian paramilitaries did over step and fell into the trap. The MSM exaggerated enough to justify the war or bombing....... I'm going to flag you to my last post...people have no idea.
