Story?

Stalin wanted yugoslavia, but they pushed the nazis out themselves so he couldnt "liberate" it and take it
So he used cold war tactics on it by sending a bunch of spies and assassins who Tito fucked up

What happened to Tito and Yugoslavia in the end?

A major aspect of Soviet foreign policy was asserting full dominance over other socialist states within their sphere. Nations like East Germany and Hungary had very little self-determination, the latter being violently invaded for trying to practice a different form of communism.
Yugoslavia was liberated from Nazi control without much Soviet help, allowing the Balkan people to create their own state and rule in accordance to their own will. Tito's communism was much more liberal and less repressive than what Stalin preferred, and more importantly he refused to acknowledge Russian souzerainity, often preferring to work with the Americans.

It's really complex and it would require at least 5 posts and we'd need to go back to the 13th century.
But TL;DR would be
>yugoslav peoples distrust each other
>Tito keeps it under control and plays off the americans and ruskies against each other
>when he dies yugoslavia is told to fuck off by both sides
>economy goes to shit; serbs try to get a hegemony going
>nobody likes this, especially the croats
>slovenians leave, followed by croatians
>shit goes down

As the other poster said, the reasons go back into history. Long story short,
>Turks arrive to the Balkans
>a large part of Serbs would rather migrate than live under Ottoman rule; settle in modern Krajina and Republika Srpska and acting as frontier guards
>Bogomilist Bosnians see profit and convert to Islam
>Catholic Slovenes and Croats live on the frontier, with a large part of Croat lands falling in Ottoman hands
>centuries later; WW1
>Slo,Cro,BIH on one side, most Serbs on the other
>for being on the side of the victors, Serbs unite the others in first Yugoslavia
>Croats don't like it; Serbs give them more land in the Kingdom
>Croats still want more; decide to side with the Axis when the invasion comes
>first time the Ustashe and the Chetniks face each other
>Serbs traumatised by Croatian oppression and genocide policies
>Tito unites South Slavs once again; tries to repress nationalism
>keeps things in check until he dies
>things start going crazy
>Slovenes and Croats want democratisation
>Serbs say no to confederacy
>Slovenia and Croatia declare independence
>Serbs in Croatia stranded
>Serbian nationalism goes through the roof
>outright war; Chetniks and Ustashe v2
>war goes three way for a while with Bosnians being the third side
>in the end, the West intervenes and fucks Serbia up
