Bulgaria has occupied Macedonia, thinking that this is a cultural and historical part of Bulgaria

Well, for the note on the map, Montenegro was a kingdom under Italian control since Jul 12, 1941. But on other resources I read that Michael I, former king and leader of Montenegro royal family, refused an offer of the throne of Montenegro by king Vittorio Emanuele III of Italy (husband of his aunt Elena), and became a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II. (http://gsteinbe.intrasun.tcnj.edu/royal ... enegro.htm) And on July 13th, the next day after the puppet kingdom established, Montenegro people raised a great uprising against occupation forces. I guess that's why the nominal independent Montenegro had not a king since then, even a puppet king. There was a Italian-sponsored puppet government from 1941 to 1943 and actually ruled by Italian governor Principe Alessandro Pirzio Biroli.

The day that the Germans entered Zagreb, Croatia was prodaimed an independent state of the kingdom of Yugoslavia and Ante Pavelich was prodaimed the leader. Almost the same situation happened in Slovakia with Josef Tiso the leader.

It's a kingdom de jure. Italian Prince Aimone di Savoy, Duke of Spoleto became King Tomislav II of Croatia on May 18, 1941, and abdicated in 1943 after the Italian surrender. Then part of Croatia was occupied by Germany. Other parts liberated by Tito.

Germany did not occupied Croatia in real sense of that word.After fall of Italy Croatia took back land that was given to Italy,and all territory that Italian hold before surrender was taken by German and Croatian army.
Partisans liberated some part of Croatia,but soon they lost major part when axis force arrive.

In this map of the Historic Office of General Staff of Italian Army is shown the line (it's called "demarcazione italo-tedesca"; it's this line: +++) between the Italian and the German occupation zones in Croatia (of course it was a member of the Tripartite, this occupation was mostly to fight communist partizans): http://www.geocities.com/ga57/albania/map6.html.

The areas of Dalmatia annexed by Italy (18-May-1941) and the province of Zara (already Italian) became part of the Governatorato di Dalmazia, divided into 3 provinces: Zara (enlarged), Spalato (new) and Cattaro (new).

The part of Slovenia and N-W Croatia annexed on 3 May 1941 was divided between the province of Fiume and the new province of Lubiana (both were part, along with Gorizia, Trieste and Pola, of the region Venezia Giulia). See map:
