Going from memory there are a couple of references to Yugoslavia in the V1 timeline, e.g. when Yugoslavia enters the War in support of Romania and simultaneously requests membership of NATO, which iirc happens at the end of 1996. I've always interpreted those references to refer to an intact Yugoslavia (i.e. with Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia, etc all still part of the Federation).
I suppose it could be referring to a "rump" Yugoslavia (i.e. Serbia) with the other States having broken away earlier, but my question would be in a V1 timeline where you still have an intact Soviet Union, how likely is it that the break up of Yugoslavia would have taken place in real life, or, like the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Velvet Revolution, etc, etc was it only able to occur because of the collapse of the Soviet Union?
Personally, I think if you're working on v1 with an intact Soviet Union there's likely to also be an intact Yugoslavia at the start of the War.
