The reason why it worked perfectly here, in the Balkans, was that Tito never actually lied to the people (OK, that's an understatement, lol 😂, but in general, he did have the people's best interests in mind)... so, everyone just thought that their leaders are actually being honest with them and that the other guy is at fault 🤷... it was easy to be honest... it was only after they were tried it became apparent that the only thing their leaders had in mind was money and power, nothing more... but, by then, it was too late... lives were lost, people's lives were shattered... it was really sad to be honest... when everyone realized that they fought a war for nothing...
