With the loss of Slovenia the ethnic fault lines inside Yugoslavia have started to show more clearly, and the central authority has grown weaker by the day. Today, the German foreign minister announced a plan to finally solve "the mistake of the Versailles State." In a treaty signed by some of Yugoslavia's most powerful neighbors, much of its territory has been divided between countries friendly to Germany. This treaty was not even seen by Yugoslavian diplomats before its ratification, but with multiple countries scrambling to seize Yugoslav lands from a collapsing central government, there is little the Yugoslavian leader's government can do.
