Abstract

The break-up of Yugoslavia in 1991 following proclamations of independence by the republics of Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, and in 1992 of Bosnia and Herzegovina established several new states in the region. It was followed by a decade of conflict. Wars broke out in Croatia in 1991, in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992 to 1995, in Serbia and Kosovo 1999, and serious insurgency occurred in Macedonia in 2001. Albania, already well established as an independent state, did not escape a violent civil conflict following the collapse of a number of pyramid savings banks in 1997. The turbulence in the region calmed down following the intervention of international institutions, including armed intervention by NATO in the Kosovo conflict, and active diplomatic intervention by the EU in resolving the Macedonian conflict in 2001.
