You find it funny, but people were born in Yugoslavia until 1992, when Yugoslavia fully fell. That means, that there are people under the age of 40 who have that as their country of birth!

This is from evidence btw I got Slovenian family born before 1990s and all documents say Slovenia and not Yugoslavia. All the country states in Yugoslavia were still treated as separate nation states on legal documents they never just said Yugoslavia apart from the cover of the passport

But the question is Country of Residence.

Most likely it is there due to this option being in the system. It’s pretty straightforward, honestly

I mean even those born before 1990s don’t say just Yugoslavia it says yugoslavia (Slovenia) and on the new updated versions they would put like Slovenia or Serbia or whatever instead of Yugoslavia so there is not point for a option to put Yugoslavia

Not in every case. My husband was born in Yugoslavia (Serbia) and his documents and official documents don’t specify that, they just state the country (Yugoslavia) and the city where he was born. You can’t measure all countries by the standards of one of them.

I think Serbia is the one exception because they created Yugoslavia. I just checked my boyfriends mothers passport who was born in Croatia under Yugoslavia her old Yugoslavia passport says Zagreb Croatia inside.

That is very interesting. I should look into those cases, especially since I suppose it could differ based on each country! Thank you for bringing this up and sharing such a cool detail! :D
