Alternative theories
Michael Parenti (and a host of other commentators) suggest that Yugoslavia was deliberately targeted for destruction since the government was demonstrating a successful alternative to the Western style "democracy".
1991
At the 1991 Bilderberg Peter D. Sutherland moderated a discussion on Yugoslavia, and the panelists were Gianni De Michelis and Franz Vranitzky.
