Thank you BiB for what you said, it's completely true. Also, i'd like to say that before America came into play, we (I'm a Croat) were deeply f**ed, and though i'm sure our emigrants in Germany helped, to say that our freedom was sponsored by Germans is a bit much. @Administrator ... what in gods name do they need to know that number for? “The vote will decide the formal completion of the German-sponsored final destruction of former Yugoslavia.”

And now they are counting the number of ethnic Germans in international organizations: "According to Berlin's estimates, approximately 9.5 per cent of the personnel active in the UN, the EU and other supra-national bodies are of German 0origin, a country representing less than 1.3 per cent of the global population."

The war was well underway when that recognition was given, and can we really claim that the Germans' desire to break up Yugoslavia was stronger than the will of Slovenes and Croatians themselves? They voted in absolutely massive majorities to declare independence from Yugoslavia, as was their right under the Yugoslav constitution. Internal Yugoslav forces and an understandable lack of will to live with Milosevic were far more instrumental in that country's break-up than external ones.

Germany (and probably Austria too, to some extent) are meddling in the Balkans like there's no tomorrow, but doesn't disturb Eastern Slavs as long as they don't disturb Germany. Baltic states are independent on paper, but in practice are quite dependent on foreign allies.
