Reasons for the Conflicts

Ethnic nationalism surged, with each republic’s leaders prioritizing their own group’s independence or dominance.
Weak central authority after the death of Josip Broz Tito (1980)
Milošević’s Serbian nationalism heightened tensions with Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo.
International recognition of breakaway states (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia) without a peace framework.
