Conflicts have been part of the existence of man and human society since its inception and we have encountered
them throughout human history. Factors that influence the emergence of conflicts are different, but in countries with a diverse
ethnic structure, the risk of armed conflict is significantly higher. The bloody conflict in the former Yugoslavia, which erupted in
the early 1990s, is a complex problem that we are trying to analyze as comprehensively as possible in this article. The aim of
the article is to describe the individual factors of ethnic tension and to point out their influence on the disintegration of the former
Yugoslavia.
