				In July, Slovenia, Croatia, and Yugoslavia had signed the Brioni Agreement, in which Slovenia and Croatia agreed to delay independence for three months. This ended fighting in Slovenia but not Croatia, where the Serb-dominated Yugoslav government continued to back Serb Croat rebels. In October, with the moratorium expired, Croatia confirmed its independence as the war with Yugoslavia intensified.
