Milo Djukanovic (New Union)





I continue to believe that is a good candidate for post-war Yugoslavia. However, his ideas for Montenegro would eventually lead to the total collapse of Yugoslavia and any union with Serbia. So how can he be any good candidate for the New Union timeline? In TTL, I can see him [potentially] going in a different path.

With the Bosnian War taking a unique turn, the Dayton Accords would (in many ways) not happen. After the war, the exact roll of Miloshevich became clearer. Along with UN-backed elections, Miloshevich would not be elected President of Yugoslavia in 1996-97. Seeing an opportunity, Djukanovic would run for the presidency (which he would win). Under his original political ideologies, he would favor a united Serbia-Montenegro, but would work to further federalize Yugoslavia and allowing greater sovereignty between the two. He would also reinstate the autonomy of Vojvodina and Kosovo shortly after taking office, and also would allow greater autonomy to the Bosniaks living in. He would be opposed to the independence of Kosovo, and would instead work on cooperation with the Kosovar Albanians, leading to the admission of Dardania. While not an initial supporter, he would welcome the readmission of Macedonia to Yugoslavia. Other key notes of his presidency would be his work towards peace with the former Yugoslav republics, his moves towards the European Union, and support on rejuvenating the Yugoslav image.
