The Yugoslav Federation was not strong enough of a government to exist in its state of international isolation, and the people knew change was necessary for survival and continuation. They organized groups to resist the current broken state of limited freedom of expression and fair elections. Groups such as Otpor staged large scale general strikes forcing the government to take notice and negotiate (330).
