Serbia is a small, underdeveloped country with a population of 10 million or so. The US and Nazi Germany were powerful imperialist nations bent on conquest. They use the pretext of defending "captive nations" in order to extend their imperial control. I think a better way of understanding the problem in Yugoslavia is through the analogy with Sandinista Nicaragua, who faced a secessionist movement on the Atlantic coast backed by US imperialism.
