I read in a book about the Cold War that at some point in the mid-20th century there was a plan to create a large Communist federation in the Balkans which was quashed by the Soviet Union -- the USSR felt insecure about the existence of another powerful Communist state in its vicinity not controlled by it. Does anyone know about this plan (does it have anything to do with the Balkan Communist Federation of parties?) and whether it could have come to fruition without ASBs?
Before anyone asks, I don't mean Yugoslavia.
It would have included Bulgaria and some other nations, apparently.
The book is "The Secret History of the Cold War" by E. S. Fischer (see here -- it's in Hungarian).
