If Tito's dream of an SFR Yugoslavia that contained Greek Macedonia, Thrace, Albania, Bulgaria, Carinthia, and Friuli Venezia Giulia had come into being, what effect would it have on the Yugoslav Wars (ignoring all other butterfly effects). The Yugoslav Wars of this timeline would probably be large enough to be categorized as a Third Balkan War.

The Yugoslav Wars of OTL were an ethnic conflict between three distinct ethnic/linguistic/religious groups: Serbs, Croatians, and Bosnian Muslims.

The Third Balkan War of this alternate timeline would be a gigantic ethnic conflict between Serbs, Croatians, Bosnian Muslims as well as Bulgarians, Albanians, and Greeks. Slovenes would be fighting Italians and Austrians over Carinthia and Friuli Venezia Giulia and perhaps the entire countries of Italy and Austria might get involved. The Macedonian breakaway wouldn't be as clean as it was in OTL due to the Bulgarian & Albanian claims in the region. The Kosovo War and the Yugoslav War would be combined into a single conflict.

What would the course of the war be?

If you were to predict an outcome for this mess, what would it be?
 
Italy and Austria intervene, and end up militarily dominating against anyone that opposes them. Bulgaria also becomes enlarged, after everything ends.
 
It be the Serbs trying to leave as the Bulgarian would dominate ALT Yugoslavia. Albania would also surely be in revolt as would Friuli Venezia Giulia and Carinthia. (Taken back by Italy and Austria.)

Not to mention Greece marching in to take back Greek Macedonia, Thrace.

It be all an hit burning mess.
