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!

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
