They feared other republics would drag down their economies.

Explanation:

Yugoslavia was set up as a federation containing six republics after World War II. These were Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Socialist Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia. Moreover, the federation included two autonomous provinces: Vojvodina and Kosovo. However, a series of political upheavals and conflicts during the 1990s eventually led to the breakup of the federation. There were many social, political and ethnic factors that led to this situation. However, one of the most important ones was the fact that the regions of Slovenia and Croatia feared that the other republics would drag down their economies.
