Italy would have been much better off saying she was invoking her treaty with Greece but instead doing it by pulling out of NATO and supply Greece with weapons - then they and France both end up coming out relatively intact (they still get nuked but not as bad like France)
Getting those three divisions to Yugoslavia wouldnt have made any sense by 1998 for another reason - by then that country had ceased to exist - frankly the only military reason you could see them being sent to the Med would have been either an operation to grab Sicily from Italy or to possibly land in Turkey to support the Turks against the Russians and Bulgarians - if Italy had even a small fleet and air force left they would have made those convoys pay so badly I doubt there would have been a viable force left to make the landing
Like that alternate WWII scenario with Italy and Greece teaming up against Turkey - or alternatively against Yugoslavia - especially since Italy could offer the Greeks a free hand to annex Macedonia in exchange for Italy taking over the Croatian and Slovenian areas of the country that were part of the old Roman Empire - and the Greeks werent exactly buddy buddy with the Brits prior to the Italian invasion of Greece
