You know very well that this is the exact opposite of the truth.

You are absolutely right, it is about devouring part of Macedonia. Here are
the details of the plan:


      SERB PLANS FOR INVASION OF MACEDONIA REVEALED BY SLOVENIAN PAPER

      Ljubljana. The highly respected Slovenian newspaper, Delo, has
      obtained secret Serbian documents which outline in detail
      Belgrade's plan to invade the Republic of Macedonia.

	The secret documents were published on November 21, 1992 under
      the headline "The Third Balkan War." The authors of the article
      were Kresimir Meller and Mirjana Glusac. Excerpts follow:

      -------------------------------

	However, these are not the complete Serbian plans for Macedonia
      and Kosovo. They go further. The Serbian military sought to
      create conflict between the Macedonian legal government and the
      ethnic Albanian population by whiping up an atmosphere of anti-
      Albanian terror. Individuals within the ethnic Albanian political
      parties were helped to come to power in Macedonia. These people
      already had cooperated with the Serbo-Yugoslav Intelligence
      Service and have dossiers in the Intelligence Service archives
      and are easy targets for blackmailing.  They were supplied with
      two million dollars (US) in February this year. Three weeks ago
      15 million dollars (US) were transferred to the Greek company
      =============================================================
      Thita in Pireus, Athens. The money was then transferred into the
      =======================
      accounts of the companies, Radiotone and Lapi-Tours, which are
      located in Pristina, the capital of Kosovo.

	The money was given to Mersim Polozhani and Muhamed Halili,
      leaders of the ethnic Albanian Party for Democratic Prosperity
      in Macedonia, who were the main instigators of the phantom state,
      Ilirida, and who would like to replicate what happen in Bosnia.

      ---------------------------------------

	High ranking Greek officers recently paid a visit to the head
      of the Security Administration of the Yugoslav Army, Nedeljko
      Boskovic. He explained to them that "In the case of war, Serbia
					   ===========================
      will accept Greek military penetration of Macedonia to the line
      ===============================================================
      of Kicevo-Makedonski Brod-Prilep-Negotin-Strumica-Novo Selo.
      ============================================================
      Struga should also belong to Greece."
      ===================================

      Serbian military leaders signed the pact with Greece in order to
      ====================================================
      prevent, what they claimed, was the creation of a Greater
      Macedonia or Greater Albania.

	If Albania enters the war, then the Yugoslav forces have the
      task to take up positions on the lines Vlora-Kelcyra-Erseka and
      Sezan (a peninsula which enables control of the Adriatic Sea
      entrance from the Ionic Sea)-Lezha-Pheskopea. According to the
      agreement, Serbia and Greece are obligated to provide each other
      with logistical support.

      -------------------------------

	The first and the second phase of the Serbian plan have been
      completed. Very soon after the riots in Skopje--provoked by the
      Macedonian police chasing illegal traders of currency and
      cigarettes--the Youth association of Ilirida has called the
      Albanian people to launch an uprising against supposed Macedonian
      "chauvinists." The leader of PDP (Albanian Party for Democratic
      Prosperity), Nevzat Halili, said that Macedonia does not deserve
      international recognition.

      -----------------------

	The planned Serbian intervention in Macedonia is very
      elaborate. The commander of the Serbo-Yugoslav Airforce corp and
      Airforce Defence in Pristina is Branislav Gasic who is under the
      command of General Sekulic. Gasic's Airforce corp will be
      required to open up the road at Gnjilane-Strezovice, cut the
      connection and start towards Skopje.  The corp from Urosevac will
      divide into two units and surround Skopje, the Macedonian
      capital. The other unit should take the parts around Tetovo and
      where the majority of the population is Albanian. Two tank
      divisions will start towards the border with Albania and will
      penetrate into enemy territory. There, the majority of forces
      must unite and quickly take over strategic positions. Ninety
							    =======
      thousand to 100,000 people on the enemy side and 12,000 on the
      ==============================================================
      Serbo-Yugoslav side are expected to die.
      =======================================

	It is not difficult to foresee the consequences of such an
      action. The Balkan barrel of gunpowder will blow up and spread
      like a chain reaction to much larger regions, and the involvement
      of Islamic countries could be expected too. What will be the
      consequences for the security of Europe is too difficult to
      predict.

	Serbia has begun production of the M-89 tank and the supergun
      (under British-Iraq licence). The international community by
      closing its eyes, ignoring all the facts and delaying military
      intervention against Serbia will allow a small regional conflict
      to mushroom into an international war.

Is this what you had in mind?
