Yugoslavian

Tito's nation's citizen

Yugoslavian refers to the former country of Yugoslavia, a federation of South Slavic states that existed in southeastern Europe from 1918 to 2003 in various forms.

As a noun, a Yugoslavian is a person from that country.

The term now has primarily historical application, since Yugoslavia dissolved into separate nations including Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Kosovo: My grandfather was Yugoslavian, but now that region is seven different countries.
