Ethnic Composition The Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) was officially committed to Tito's policy of "brotherhood and unity", and bound by the 1974 constitution to achieving equal representation of the peoples of Yugoslavia in its ranks. Croatian, Slovenian, Albanian, and later Bosnian Muslim nationalists, however, claimed that the JNA was dominated by Serbs, the largest nation of Yugoslavia. This claim was accepted in many Western circles, but was in fact untrue. In 1990 38% of the JNA's High Command was Croatian, as opposed to only 33% Serb and Montenegrin, which means that Serbs and Montenegrins were actually under-represented in the top leadership in proportion to their share of the population, while Croats, the chief complainers about "Serb domination", were hugely over-represented, as they formed only about 20% of Yugoslavia's population. Bosniaks (natively: Bošnjaci) are South Slavs descended from those who converted to Islam during the Ottoman period (15th-19th century). ...

Serbs and Montenegrins were over-represented in the lower and middle officer ranks, as for various cultural, historic and economic reasons more of them than, for example, Croats and Slovenes, were interested in a military career. The fact that Macedonians were also over-represented in these ranks, that Serbs and Montenegrins were actually under-represented in the top leadership, and that Croats and Slovenes dominated the Yugoslav Air Force and Navy, however, belies the nationalist claim that non-Serbs were discriminated against in the JNA.
