Background: In 1918 the Slovenes joined the Serbs? and Croats? in forming a new nation, renamed Yugoslavia in 1929. After World War II, Slovenia became a republic of the renewed Yugoslavia, which though communist?, distanced itself from Moscow's rule. Dissatisfied with the exercise of power of the majority Serbs, the Slovenes? succeeded in establishing their independence in 1991. Historical ties to Western Europe make Slovenia a candidate for future membership in the European Union.
