I don't understand you very much but I'll try to answer: I was reffering to the Serbian agression on Slovenia, not the whole war.

Well I really don't think any croats died there (unless if they were serving army duty in Slovenia at the time). You must know that the army movements done in Croatia at the time had nothing to do with the agression in Slovenia. The JA knew they don't have a case in Slovenia (no theritory had a sufficent enough number of Serbian population to "protect") and because Croatia was independent at the time they had to go through one independent country to attack another. They knew the war in Slovenia would not bring them anything but trouble so they decided to use it as a mobilisation of forces, that should seem to go to Slovenia but would stop at the targets in Croatia they wanted to attack.
It is however true, that Slovenia would be in really deep muck if it weren't for the fact that Croatia was a sort of a buffer between Slovenia and Serbia. Actually Slovenia was the only republic that didn't border on Serbia and that's the real reason why there was no real war here - just that 10 day agression.
