The BBC docuseries "The Death of Yugoslavia" (1995) portrays the breakup of Yugoslavia as a largely elite-driven affair. To what extent is this depiction accurate?
I'm watching the excellent 1995 BBC docuseries "The Death of Yugoslavia" right now, and I'm struck by how elite-driven (if not quasi-Great Man) its narrative/"historiographical" is. While it does talk about events happening on the ground outside the elites' control (e.g. the initial unrest in Kosovo, the "Log Rebellion" in Knin, etc), the docuseries seems to place the greater weight of explanatory importance on how elites like Milosevic, Tudjman, and others respond to these forces in smokey backrooms, cabinet meetings and party congresses.
I understand that this focus on elites is somewhat intrinsic in the BBC's choice to foreground "all-star" interviews with the major heavy-hitters of all sides, but I'm wondering to what extent this elite-driven process explanation of how Yugoslavia fractured into all-out war is accurate or reflective of current trends in Yugoslav War historiography. And are there alternative, possibly more structural or grassroots, explanations for the collapse of Yugoslavia?

What are your opinions on the Kingdom of Yugoslavia?
Though I am a follower of the Habsburg Dynasty and would prefer a reunification of the old empire's pre-1859 borders (including Silesia and Bosnia-herzegovina).
I see the Kingdom of Yugoslavia as a great unifying factor of Balkan slavs, peace, order, and stability reigned during the Kingdom's monarchical years.
If the Balkan Slavs would construct another Yugoslavia, I would highly support it. If of course if it only comprises of Serbia (and Kosovo), Montenegro, and Northern Macedonia. As said above, I am a great and humble supporter of the Habsburgs.
