Bobby thank you for an easy question....:)

Yougoslavia was a hot bed of Europe for many centuries...If you recall
World War I started in Serbia, Turkey (Otoman Empire) and Greece were fighting war long before...Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia and Albania are divided by religion, allegiance and hate for many years...The country was held together by iron fist of the communist dictator Tito untill his death and as was widely anticipated his death brought an explosion of violence as leaders were unable to hold country together....Slovenia the most Western and affluent part escaped war because it is separated from Serbia by Croatia, has no significant Serbian minority and has close ties with West..
Croatia (catolics) stand occused by Serbians (true to large extent) with colloboration with Nazis during World War II (many Serbian resistance fighters died at the hands of Croatian colloborators) Bosnians on the other hand were part of the resistance...
Kosovo (muslim albanians) are the poorest part Serbia would not let them go because the are afraid than next is Macedonia-and that is a rea issue-Many forces are in play there-Turkey and Greece would likely go to war on opposite sites of conflict (both are NATO members)
that would be a nightmare for Europe....
Serbia is a slavic nation (just like Russia and of course has close ties with Russia...Leaders in Russia can afford to betray Serbian brothers
as much as say American's betray British over Falkland's
The war in Yougoslavia is a nightmare (look at history) Germany culd really never concur the country (terrain and fierce nationalism)
Any attempts to place troops into hostile quigmire is ill advised..Vietnam would seem like a child-play...
