federal levies were used to support poorer republics...the Yugoslav government's higher than average investments and redistributive programs that began in 1959 and continued through the 1980s eventually alienated Slovenes and Croats - with their emphasis on high tech, increasing production capacity, and foreign investment - who tired of subsidizing Kosovo, Macedonia & Montenegro that stressed labor intensive, low income production in agriculture, handicrafts, & textiles...Michael Hoover
