Milošević appeased nationalists in Serbia by promising to reduce the level of autonomy within the autonomous provinces of Kosovo and Vojvodina.

This policy increased ethnic tensions with the other republics and nationalities and led to the Yugoslav Wars.

During the early 1990s, the growing ethnic tensions between the republics of Yugoslavia led to the break-up of the federal party.
