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
