    Military speaking ? Greece, by far.

    Yugoslav army was not particulary powerful one. Idk why this myth is often repeated on internet discussion boards. What it had, were sheer numbers. Equipment was outdated, officers poorly trained and morale lacking. Current armies of Yugoslav succesor states are far better trained and equipped, but their size are minimalistic.

    Turkey I would think. Greece actually spends a lot of their budget on defense.

    iirc Yugoslavia had the most tanks and other armored vehicles in Europe after Russia.

    Idk, it was ranked as fourth European military power in late 80s. But it's meaningless in real combat, they were humiliated by Croats in Vukovar, taking the city after enormous casualties and hundreds of destroyed tanks by poorly equipped locals.

    Even a small part of Turkey is militarily stronger than the whole Balkans peninsula put together.

    With that being said, I would bet on Serbia, partly because of its friendship with Russia.

    Honestly, Turkey. Not because its tiny European land but because they influence in Balkans since centuries ago and still.
