The wars lasted a long time, and many of Yugoslavia's armaments factories were in territories no longer under control of Belgrade or it's satellites by 1992 - it's my understanding that Tito concentrated armaments factories in Bosnia, due to it's remoteness and mountainous terrain, and it's advantages given the guerilla war he planned for if Yugoslavia were invaded.

It bears checking, but that's my impression from what I've read over the years.

So while I don't have anything concrete right now, my understanding of the situation doesn't rule out Serbia's wanting/needing to procure weapons/munitions from the international market, and Greece had both the motive (orthodox fraternity) and opportunity (location) to benefit from Serbia's needs.

That's a favorite fisction of the liberal Hum Warriors. Maybe the Greeks just don't like unjust wars in their neighborhood--would you?
