[edit] "Yugoslavia"
Some people like to put "Yugoslavia" as country of birth, but Yugoslavia doesn't exist anymore, and it's not important to put up there. In modern times, people put their country of birth as the country which exists today and when they were born. Croatia still existed under Yugoslavia as an autonomous state, so I can't see why Yugoslavia must be listed under countries of birth. This is not similar to situations hundreds of years ago, where certain countries didn't really exist or had proper borders and you would have something like (born under the Ottoman empire, today's Bosnia and Herzegovina). We are talking about times when the country existed in the regime occupying it, and is still the same borders today. If you asked any people where they were born today, they would say "Croatia" or "Bosnia and Herzegovina," etc. My parents were both born under the Yugoslav regime, so their papers said, born ******, Croatia(sometimes), Yugoslavia. But after Croatia's independence, they got new papers from the government saying place of birth, ******, Croatia. I doubt people really care nowadays care whether someone was born during the time of Yugoslavia when they had to put that down as country of birth. I never saw this new Yugo thing before on Wiki ever, and believe some people have a personal adenda that they feel the need to put "yugoslavia" everywhere. If not, please explain your reasoning kindly. Thank you.
