The
Brioni Agreement or
Brioni Declaration (, , ) is a document signed by representatives of
Slovenia,
Croatia and the
Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia under the political sponsorship of the
European Community (EC) on the
Brijuni Islands on 7 July 1991. The agreement sought to create an environment in which further negotiations on the future of Yugoslavia could take place. However, ultimately it isolated the
federal prime minister Ante Markovic in his efforts to preserve Yugoslavia, and effectively stopped any form of federal influence over Slovenia. This meant the
Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) would focus on combat in Croatia, creating a precedent of redrawing international borders and staking the EC's interest in resolving the
Yugoslav crisis.
