...Yugoslavia's central government. The well-timed incidents provided a grim counterpoint to an urgent meeting of Yugoslav political leaders in Belgrade. As a result of earlier separatist agitation in Croatia (TIME, Dec. 27), which had been a direct challenge to Yugoslavia's federal system, President Josip Broz Tito, nearly 80 but amazingly robust, had summoned 367 of the nation's political leaders to Belgrade for a three-day party conference. The basic issue in the talks: How much political and economic freedom can Yugoslavia give to its six republics and two autonomous provinces without coming apart...
...confrontation took place despite the best efforts of President Josip Broz Tito to prevent it. Tito last summer forced the central government to surrender much of its political and economic powers to the country's six republics and two autonomous provinces. The Croats, as it turned out, were not satisfied. Encouraged by extremist exile groups in West Germany and Eastern Europe, many Croats continued to accuse the central government of taking away too much of the republic's earnings from foreign tourists and giving the money to less prosperous Yugoslav regions.

But nothing came...
...soon as Brezhnev stepped from his gleaming Ilyushin Il-62 jetliner at Belgrade airport, he began to make it clear that Russia would gladly relax its pressures on Yugoslavia-for a price. That price: at least a partial return of Yugoslavia to the Soviet camp. While President Josip Broz Tito stood unsmiling at his side at the airport, Brezhnev seemed to brush aside Yugoslavia's nonaligned status by referring to the country as a member of the Communist bloc. Later, at a banquet in the handsome marble federal reception hall, Brezhnev toasted the two countries as being united "through...
