note: when croatia declared its independence from yugoslavia in 1991, fighting broke out between croats and croatia’s large serbian minority, who were aided by the serb-dominated yugoslavian government. in 1995, croatian, serbian, and bosnian leaders met in the united states and settled on a peace accord. hostility between croats and serbs has a long history; during world war ii they fought on opposite sides of a civil war in yugoslavia.
