If you haven’t already, check out Boris Malagurski’s ‘The Weight of Chains’, a Canadian film documenting both Alija’s obstructionism and EU/American plans, schemes, really in Yugoslavia as a whole and Serbia in particular. There could have been a peaceful resolution to Bosnian and Croatian problems. And the Serbian province of Kosovo. And Montenegro. Plus eyes are now on a ‘referendum’ for the Voivodina.
Thanks, Old New York! I know about “The Weight of Chains” but haven’t seen it yet. I have Boris’ other film here, “Kosovo, Can You Imagine?”, and it’s great, but heartbreaking.
