Tito didn't fail. He just died at the end.
He was sucesseful because there was no ethnic tension while he was alive.
The party failed because they let people that didn't believe in a multi-national
state take power.
Actually, he was succesefull even in the long run. The current young generation is growing past that ethnic hatred. Cheap travels and the internet made connecting with the other republics as simple as a push of a button. Cultural borders that Tito tore down and the nineties built back are decaying on their own.
Only some sad angry individuals still linger in the shadows. Bitter because there was no winner in those wars. Causing trouble when they can but only reinforcing the unity between the open minded.
Yugoslavia is being reborn even if only in the minds of the young ones, not corrupted by the leftover brainwashing that destroyed their parents generation. And they take Tito as an example.
So, Tito did not fail. Only his ideals skipped a generation.
