Yugoslavians

Dissolved nation's citizens

Yugoslavians are people from Yugoslavia, the South Slavic federation that existed in various forms from 1918 to 2006 in southeastern Europe.

The term now refers to those who lived there or their descendants, since the country dissolved into separate nations including Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Kosovo.

My grandparents were Yugoslavians who emigrated in the 1970s.
