The Communist Party of Croatia wanted much more autonomy for the Communist Party of Croatia and for the space for Croatian people to express.
And they became so-called Maspok, or mass movement.
They changed the constitutions of Yugoslavia.
They're turning into more of a confederation rather than a federation, and that's at the end.
So the system has put the power back from the federal state into the so-called republics.
And once the commanding federal force was over, Repito was out.
They just basically took 10 years to destroy everything.
When he died, outside of United Nations General Assembly, this was the greatest gandering of statesmen and politicians ever.
There was something about it.
There was something in him that people admired.
That stiff spine, which is, you don't get it today in these politicians, you know.
All of us knew, all of us knew that it's not an issue of if, but when.
Some of us thought about two, three years, some of us thought ten years.
None of the people that I spoke to ever thought that Yugoslavia is going to remain a permanent state.
It was the sense of everything that was happening plus the fact that Tito was not capable of coming up with any meaningful second generation.
Nobody will have his authority and the system will have to change and we were right.
I'm a born Yugoslavian and I believe in Yugoslavia.
And as I'm growing older, I have even greater appreciation of how beautiful this country is.
So I just need to travel to this country these days and realize the diversity of nations, of cultures, of nature.
And one can't but feel sorry for the destruction of it.
