Yugoslavian

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Yu·go·sla·vi·a  (yg-släv-)
A former country of southeast Europe bordering on the Adriatic Sea. It was formed in 1918 as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and was renamed Yugoslavia in 1929. Under the leadership of Marshal Tito, the country became a Communist-led regime after World War II. After Tito's death in 1980, economic problems and ethnic tensions grew. Communist party control ended in 1990, and four of the six constituent republics (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Macedonia) declared independence in 1991. Serbia and Montenegro, the remaining states, abandoned the name Yugoslavia in 2003 and dissolved the federation entirely in 2006.

The wrecked Yugoslavian dinar was finally pegged to the German Deutsche Mark on a one-to-one basis in 1994.
First, the Italian government, trying to set itself aright in the dopoguerra, had insufficient political clout to gain international assistance that could have curtailed Yugoslavian aggression.
Elsewhere in the world the Yugoslavian federation was on the point of break-up, and shelling of some cities by the Croatians and the Yugoslavian army had already started, killing many.
