- <p> Slovenia (pop. 2.1 million), one of the six republics and
- two autonomous provinces that make up Yugoslavia, provided a
- reminder last week of why the word Balkanization is a synonym
- for divisiveness. Meeting in the capital of Ljubljana, the
- republic's parliament overwhelmingly passed a constitutional
- amendment allowing Slovenia to secede from the Yugoslav
- federation. Though a split is not imminent, the move was seen
- as insurance for the Slovenes against growing Serbian
- nationalism. Slovenia, which shares borders with Italy and
- Austria, boasts the nation's most prosperous economy. But it is
- dependent on raw materials from the rest of the country and,
- despite growing exports to the West, relies heavily on the
- Yugoslav market for its manufactured goods.
