The Conflict in Yugoslavia: Response of the European Community

A detailed analysis of the events leading to the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the outbreak of the civil war has been avoided here as my focus is on the response of the European Community to the crisis. For details in this regard see, Burg Steven L. . “Why Yugoslavia Fell Apart”. Current History. (Philadelphia), Vol. 92. No. 557. November 1993. pp. 357–363.
