What's the point of having these units on the map? Hell, what's the point of having Yugoslavia on the map? If it's gonna be there then maybe there ought to be a way to play out the partisan campaign.

I guess it's on the map only due to the fact that the map is a rectangle and replacing south-western corner with "here be dragons" was not a good idea in a WW2 game

If you play as the soviet army and you use a high MP mountain division, you can actually activate all these units around the 4th/5th turn.

Move it to the hungarian town situated at or around 49/101 while trying to not get this unit isolated, which against the AI isn't that difficult.

The entire italian army activates as well as the rest of the hungarian army and a lot of rumanian units.

makes for a much more interesting game when playing against the AI.

To do this would get into some really ugly stuff that most players do not want to touch.

Are there cities worth victory points in Yugoslavia? if so it is worth having it on the map. The italians were probably fighting the partisans there?

The red army did enter in the country late in the war, it did provide assistance to the yugoslav partisans for retaking Belgrade.

When Barbarossa Operation began, the Axis invasion of Jugoslavia had just ended, that's why all those italian units are there.
The Jugoslavian partisans began to operate later, during winter 1941-42, with small attacks, and much later it began the true uprising.

Basically Yugoslavia is out-of-play zone in WitE (and WitW too). Imagine Italian units located there like they would be normal off-map reinforcements.
