Serbianization

Its principal successor, Belgrade's new military, the Army of Yugoslavia, continued a process of Serbianization already begun in the JNA during Yugoslavia's descent into war and dissolution.

Textbooks described brutal beatings of some 30,000 Albanians and over 100 deaths from 'inhuman torture and pain', which 'shows a clear goal of the Yugoslav regime to be the expulsion of Albanians and Serbianization of their lands'.

Despite the predominantly pro-Bulgarian and thus anti-Serbian and anti-Yugoslav orientation of the population of Vardar Macedonia, now called Southern Serbia, Belgrade pursued a policy of forced Serbianization.
