January 1989. After 40 years, Yugoslavia, the union of Southern Slavs, is in crisis. Years of debt, strikes and foreign pressure threaten to destroy the fledgling union, that was once a model to aspire to under the deceased Marshal Tito. Publically, officials scramble to fix what they can. Secretly, words of secession and war can be heard. Behind closed doors, ambitious men plot their next moves. Three republics, three ethnicities. Their actions will decide the future.
Serbia, the largest republic, and yet divided. Serbs can be seen throughout the country, many of them beyond their Republic. On paper it is one, in practice its own land is further divided, lands in autonomy aspiring to independence. Voices of outrage can be heard far and beyond, spurred on and protected by the rising star, Slobodan Milošević. To some a saviour, to others a traitor. His ambition seems endless, as he seeks unity for Serbs at all cost.
Croatia, a land with a conflicted past, a confusing present, and a fearful future. From a collaborator state in WW2, to a union of Croats and people once seen as subhuman. Well-off, and leeched. One, yet divided. Fires of change, once snuffed out, spark again, as Spring arrives. Will they burn again, as the past rears its head once again?
Bosnia, a smaller Yugoslavia to many. Once an example of all peoples living in harmony. Now, a land in division. Three ethnic groups, all with their own goals. Unity, Division, Harmony, Independence. Bosnia's fate may well be the same of Yugoslavia.
As you take the reins, what will you strive for?
