Multiple alternate history challenges (AHCs) related to WWII:

This is kind of an interesting situation. You are sure the Western Allies would invade Montenegro and Croatia, because it is close to Italy via the Adriatic? But it is politically complicated, because the Yugoslav monarchy is not strong there, but collaboration compromised Croatian nationalists, and Communist partisans. But you are also sure the Soviets would take Serbia and Macedonia? I mean it is far away from the water, so less convenient for the Western Allies. But the Yugoslav government in exile and Chetniks will want the west to come in. And, might the Soviet find marching southwest into Macedonia especially, but also into Serbia, sort of a diversionary direction, not headed towards Germany? On the other hand, if the Soviets are already in Bulgaria, Macedonia and Serbia are just a couple small steps further.

If the Soviets do occupy Serbia and Macedonia as you suggest, do they call it Yugoslavia, and does Tito move to meet them in their zone and take over as chief executive? Or do they call it Serbia and maybe they pick an ethnic Serbian communist to put in charge?

You think the Western Allies would do so well in western Yugoslavia they would advance into all of Austria and all of Hungary first before the Soviets get there, blocking off the Soviet advance through Romania? Or the Western Allies partially occupy Hungary, maybe everything west of the Danube, with the Soviet having everything east and north?

You have a point,we would have eastern and western Yugoslaw probably - but,since western would not have Serbia,and state was run by serbs,it eventyally become 3 mentioned states.
Eastern with Tito would remain intact till 1990,when...nothing happen.Serbia and Macedonia would probably hold together.

Hungary - they wanted be taken by Allies,not soviets - so,with help of their army,allies probably would hold entire territory.

In this TL, I could see the Soviets arguing "See, maybe all of the Croat Fascist violence during WWII meant that creating Yugoslavia was a mistake and that it's more prudent for us to create a Greater Serbia without many Croats instead!"
