In that respect, the analogy would not be appropriate. There wasn't an outright domination, but in the later years of Yugoslavia, the government was controlled by Serbian nationalists and there was an attempt of cultural suffocation. The problem was that Croatia was still the economic hub of Yugoslavia and had power for that reason.
To many Croats, Tito was a traitor... but that's openning up a can of worms.
