Country Info Yugoslavia Introduction Yugoslavia General Data Yugoslavia Maps Yugoslavia Culture ... Yugoslavia Time and Date Yugoslavia People Back to Top Yugoslavia's resident population was estimated at 23.4 million people in 1987, up from 15.7 million in 1948 and 22.4 million in 1981. In addition, over a million Yugoslavs lived and worked for long periods of time in other European countries. The country's population density grew from 62 persons per square kilometer in 1948 to 92 per square kilometer in 1988. Between 1961 and 1981, Yugoslavia's annual population growth (.95 percent) was about the same as that of the world's developed countries. The population growth rate in Yugoslavia's economically less-developed regions, however, was significantly higher than that in the developed regions. For example, in 1986 the respective annual growth rates of Kosovo and Macedonia were 2.51 percent and 1.53 percent. By comparison, the respective rates in industrialized Vojvodina and Slovenia were only 0.46 percent and 0.87 percent. The annual growth rate of the country's working-age population was 1.25 percent, indicating that an increasing proportion of that group was found in the less developed regions. The average age of Yugoslavia's population in 1986 was 33.9 years. Men averaged 32.6 years of age; women, 35.1. The average age of the Yugoslav population increased over the last half century because the birth rate declined and life expectancy increased over that period. Between the 1921 and 1981 censuses, the Yugoslav population as a whole moved from the demographic category of population maturity toward the oldest category, demographic old age. The demographic aging of the population varied in different parts of the country, however, and in 1981 Yugoslavia's republics and provinces fit into different categories of demographic aging. The populations of Vojvodina, Serbia proper, and Croatia were in demographic old age; those in Montenegro and Slovenia were on the threshold of demographic old age; those in Bosnia and Hercegovina and Macedonia had reached demographic maturity; the population of Kosovo, however, was still in demographic youth.

Their headquarters were in Zagreb, Croatia, and until recently nobody knew when they'd leave. During their tenure, they dutifully observed, recorded and wrote some awsome statements on the most egregious human rights abuses in Europe since 1945. However, following the Dayton peace agreement UNPROFOR soon passed their duty to NATO This put an end to the long-standing Serb-French intelligence connection in Bosnia (although the same is still present in Kosovo ). Yves Gaudeul, a French parlamentarian, for example, gave aerial pictures of tunnel under the airport that was the only save way in and out of Sarajevo during the times of war to a Serbian colonel, Milenko Indic - who was, allegedly, involved in capturing and torturing French soldiers. French "blue helmet", Patrick Barriot, actually became an "ambassador" for Republika Srpska in Paris, shortly before he was discharged from the army. David Rohde wrote a book about shameful behavior of French military regarding the fall of Srebrenica . Viewing all this in perspective it is now clear why general Jean-Rene Bachelet, one of the UNPROFOR commanders, so vehemently defended Serbian demand that Dayton should be changed in a way not to allow the unification of Sarajevo (

Important Years in City History Ancient Period Byzantine Empire Medieval Serbian Belgrade ... October 5, 2000 History: The Capital of Serbia and Yugoslavia The intensive development of Belgrade which started after its final liberation from the Turks continued in the first years of the XX century. The construction of the railway station and river port on the Sava moved the gravitational center of the city and former Turkish-Oriental area known as Doræol began to lose its former importance. However, the further development of the city was hindered by a fact that Belgrade was a border city and an obstacle to Austrian expansionistic policy against Balkan. In planning of Austrian and German expansion to Balkan, an excuse was sought to attack Serbian by military force. It was found in the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian crown-prince Franz Ferdinand on June 28, in Sarajevo. World War I started with the ultimatum, and later the attack on Serbia. During four months of bombardment, the vanguards of the Austrian army entered Belgrade on December 2

EL 532 WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?CULTURE, GEOGRAPHY, AND FORMER YUGOSLAVIA Professor P. H. Liotta Primarily through the use of films made by and about the peoples of the region called the Balkans, this course examines the diverse cultures and geography of the place once named Yugoslavia. The majority of these films will be shown in Albanian, Bosnian, Croatian, Greek, Macedonian, and Serbian with English subtitles. As a background to the films used in the course, we use a single textbook that examines the political, historical, religious, social, and economic identities that continue to haunt all the nations of Southeastern Europe. Class size will be limited to ten maximum. NOTE: Since the films in this course accurately depict the breakdown of social structure in the Balkans, some of the material is both explicit and uncomfortable. Since viewing these films is also mandatory for successful course completion, participants should be aware beforehand of the explicit nature of this material and take this into consideration. Course R equirements : Aside from the requirement for a formal in-seminar presentation, the basic requirement for this course is both simple and ambitious; to gain an appreciation of the complexity and diversity of the place once known as Yugoslavia. Appreciation comes before understanding, understanding before education, and education before knowledge.

Country Listing Yugoslavia Table of Contents Yugoslavia Slovenes The Slovenes were among the most westernized but least numerous of the Slavs. About two million strong, they lived almost exclusively in the mountainous Republic of Slovenia and in enclaves in Austria and Italy bordering Slovenia. The Slovenes never possessed an independent state, but lived within German-dominated empires from Charlemagne's day to the end of World War I. From the thirteenth to the twentieth century, they were ruled by the Austrian Habsburgs. Centuries of exposure to a strong Germanic, Roman Catholic culture fostered qualities that distinguish the Slovenes from the Croats, who lived under the Hungarians, and the Serbs, who lived under the Turks, during the same period. The tenacity of the Slovenian drive for ethnic and cultural survival was evident under German cultural hegemony and surfaced again when the Slovenes spearheaded the drive for democratic reforms in communist Yugoslavia in the late 1980s. Slovenia's level of prosperity remained higher than that of the other Yugoslav republics throughout the socialist era. Because its per capita income was highest, the republic contributed a higher per capita share to Yugoslavia's federal funds than any other republic. The Slovenes complained that the less-developed republics exploited them and that as a result their standard of living slipped precipitously relative to that in the neighboring regions of Austria and Italy. Nevertheless, among the Yugoslav republics, Slovenia had the highest proportion of its population employed in industry, the lowest rate of unemployment, and the highest value of exports per capita. Slovenia also boasted Europe's second-highest literacy rate in the 1980s. Throughout the turbulent late 1980s, the Slovenes maintained a strong sense of cultural continuity and a devout belief in Roman Catholicism.

RECOMMENDATION 1239 (1994) on the cultural situation in the former Yugoslavia 1.Europe is witnessing with disbelief, outrage and great sorrow the collapse of European civilisation and values in the parts of the former Yugoslavia affected by the conflicts that have developed following the initial Serbian aggression in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia. 2.The loss of human life and the physical and mental suffering of those involved have already attracted the attention of the world community and the many humanitarian organisations that exist. 3.The Assembly wishes now to draw attention also to the cultural aspects of the situation that have been too readily ignored in the political assessment of the conflict and in the over-restrictive interpretation of the scope of humanitarian assistance. 4.The cultural dimension is, however, constantly exploited by all sides as a means of fuelling the conflict, as a target for intervention, and as a weapon. The war is characterised as a conflict between Catholic, Muslim and Orthodox; religious property is deliberately desecrated or destroyed; the media play on and exacerbate these same divisions, that are not part of the power struggle at the heart of the conflict. Cultural cleansing goes hand in hand with ethnic cleansing. 5.The siege of Sarajevo and the deliberate destruction of the Old Bridge of Mostar are particularly repugnant examples, as they represent direct rejection of the possibility of intercultural co-existence that these cities represented. Such cultural co-existence is basic to the values of the Council of Europe and to the plan of action currently being launched for tolerance.

www.serbia-info.com/news CIVIL ISSUES POLITICS MILITARY KOSOVO AND METOHIA ... ECONOMY CULTURE AND RELIGION SPORT Yugoslavia urges U.N. Security Council to halt "cultural cleansing" and restrain terrorists in Kosovo and Metohija December 23, 1999 Seventy-six orthodox churches destroyed New York, Dec 23 (Tanjug) - Yugoslavia has called on the U.N. Security Council to take immediate steps to put an end to the destruction of Serbian cultural heritage and to vandalism by ethnic Albanian terrorists who are practicing "cultural cleansing" in its republic of Serbia's Kosovo and Metohija province. The call was voiced in a letter that head of Yugoslavia's U.N. mission Ambassador Vladislav Jovanovic submitted to Britain's U.N. ambassador Jeremy Greenstock and Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Wednesday, requesting that it be circulated as an official document in the Security Council. Following is the official translation of the letter: Since the arrival of the international presences in Kosovo and Metohija, the autonomous province of the Yugoslav constituent Republic of Serbia, this Serbian province has witnessed not only the loss of Serbian lives, but also a systematic destruction of the Serbian cultural heritage and the demolition of the churches, monasteries and other shrines of the Serbian Orthodox Church in areas in which the Serbian people has lived for centuries. This "cultural cleansing" is the most heinous crime of the eradication of historical and spiritual roots of a nation, an "ethnic cleansing" of the most hideous type. Regrettably, the destruction of cultural heritage may not be an altogether new phenomenon in the turbulent history of the Balkans; what is striking this time around, however, is that these atrocities have taken place under the auspices of the international community.

Infant Feeding in Emergencies: Experience from Former Yugoslavia Anne Walsh - Health Adviser, Children's Aid Direct. War in the former Yugoslavia p resented a relatively new situation to the international aid community whose prior emergency experience had mostly been in less developed countries. This was a European country which endured intense civil war leading to massive displacement of people. Food supplies suffered severe interruptions or complete stoppages for long periods and large numbers of people became increasingly impoverished due to sale of assets and virtual siege conditions in large towns. Yugoslavia had a highly educated population with extremely developed health and education services. These services managed to continue in some fashion during the war in spite of seriously depleted resources. Many professionals left the country during this period although there were some who stayed with their communities. The humanitarian response came from all segments of the international community: the UN, major donors, established NGOs, new NGOs and even concerned individuals or community groups. In the field of infant feeding there were many issues to address, and few or no standard or established practices in dealing with them, that were felt to be appropriate to a European culture. A need for specialist foods for infants was often expressed by national doctors and other health workers, local authorities and individual mothers themselves.

H@R! : Heritage at Risk 2002-2003 YUGOSLAVIA Photographs Cultural Heritage in Kosovo and Metohija Historic Towns and Urban Areas Vernacular Built Heritage Massive social and historical changes, emphasised by industrialisation and accompanied by de-agrarisation of the country - especially notable in passive and undeveloped areas - have resulted in the migration of younger populations from the villages, resulting in vast ruination and disappearance of the vernacular built heritage. Urbanisation and the urban influence on the architectural appearance of villages, stimulated by transition from a rural to an urban way of life (entailing more industrialised agricultural production) marked a break with the vernacular building tradition. A house is no longer built using the traditional processing of natural materials, but from industrial elements and materials, sending the old crafts into oblivion. New houses are built with a total lack of harmony with the architectural tradition of a certain area. The most frequent reason for the disappearance of old rural houses is thought to be the inability to fulfil the conditions imposed by modern living standards. Very often this reason is justified; however, there are numerous cases where, with certain modifications in the interior (primarily in the kitchen and sanitary block), the house could conform to contemporary requirements. Still, the owners resort to this solution unwillingly as construction of a new house is an issue of prestige. The older generations tended to keep the old house alongside the new one and use it as a storage space, as a standing proof of the indigenous origin of the family. Younger generations do not have the same attitude to the past. Furthermore, the owner is not interested in preserving an old house as there is no incentive to do so. The legislative support for preservation of this type of cultural heritage, as well as the recognition of the need to preserve it, is at a very low level.
