I was born in 1968 in Croatia/Yugoslavia. Went to serve YU Army in 86/87, then i served in CRO Army from 92-95. War is futile and terrible loss of time and life. Sisters and brothers, peace and love from Croatia. Sunshine and smile included.
The whole "debt" angle is greatly overstated. The total amount borrowed was $8 billion, which after Reagans credit manipulations in the 1980's became $21 Billion. Even this number is paltry compared to the size of the Yugoslav economy which in 1989 even after severe economic crisis was at $129.5 Billion. The debt was merely the excuse and a tool/weapon by which the capitalist forces dismantled the welfare state of Yugoslavia leading to the tragedy in the 1990's.
While serving in Germany back in 1968. We took the nuclear weapons to their war time locations due to the Russians being on the move. We were fully armed and at first were not told what the situation was. Can you imagine how we felt as 18 years olds knowing that this could be the start of a nuclear war. Thank god it didn't go that far.
I remember the crisis from the early 80s, i was lucky, i live some 100+ km from Italy,so we could go shop there. In YU we were scarce of coffee, bananas, detergent for laundry, the fuel was rationalized but i was young, i just discovered punk and rock & roll and girls, i had no worry in my head
Wow. I listened to this as a podcast. But I will watch later on my TV when I have time. Looking at old ancient ruins, and we wonder why something so amazing was destroyed, one must look at modern war and the malice it carries to understand why so many ancient wonders were deliberately obliterated.

Around 6:50, where the gentleman states that it was the days of such & such, and such & such, and “it was the days of the nuclear threat”, I’ve got news for him… We’re still in those days, baby. Since 1945, when that particular genie had been let out of the bottle, the Earth has been in the days of the nuclear threat, and will continue to do so until either our extinction, that weapons technology’s extinction, or the most likely scenario, both.
What is left of a big, strong country with a world reputation is nothing but ashes. Divided and stolen in this way, now we are uniting again, wanted or not, in the European Union. Unfortunately, only as servants of the "great master". Obviously, we didn't deserve anything better. - Saša Broz, niece of the great Josip Broz Tito
Everything, what you write, was just yugoslav propaganda. Yugoslavia was not strong. It was undeveloped country with non-competitive economy and bad reputation. The term "Yugoslavians" was associated with Roma, criminals and poor unskilled workers.
@@mirankastelic4735 Tito was good period unlike the eu and the states so i dont care what you want , maybe you want a lot of money like every superficial guy on this freaking continent and world!
What is not mentioned here: German Tornado fighter planes very much contributed to end this madness by attacking Serbian - operated SAM 7 positions because the jets were the only ones within NATO that were armed with HARM anti - radar missiles.
You, the Germans, aren't able to "help" yourself, much less someone else! Your have one single purpose - to serve your American masters, and you better be loyal puppies! Instead of bragging about nonexistent achievements, say clearly that you followed your American master's orders to fight for one side in the war! What the heck is "SAM 7"?
You don't really know too much about the history and even today do you? Serbs are literally still making chaos in the whole Balkans trying to achieve their great serbia
