Yugoslavian States Today

For the record. Kosovo never was state of Yugoslavia. It was autonomus region in Socialistic Republic of Serbia.

yes, but that's not the question - the instructions say "name the modern day countries which used to be part of Yugoslavia" - Kosovo clearly used to be part of Yugoslavia

I don't know why Kosovo is accepted, as it's not a sovereign state (not only in this quiz, but in all others).

Countries began recognizing Kosovo in 2008! Over half of the countries of the world recognize Kosovo - see here.

Conflicts in Yugoslavia were very bloody. Please just do not comment anything.

1. Title of quiz is Yugoslavian States Today. Regardless of the directions, the quiz title implies that we are searching for the former Yugoslavian states as they are called today. Kosovo should not be counted by this understanding. 2. @KoljiVriVoda You enjoy censorship because someone may get offended? This line of thinking is unhelpful. In a free society every idea has the right to be discussed regardless of how painful or how many bigoted remarks follow. Stupid people exist everywhere and the internet gives them a voice, censorship won't stop it.

That's not at all what it implies. "State" is another word for "country". The modern countries that used to make up Yugoslavia could accurately be called "former Yugoslavian states". That does not mean they used to be states (in the American sense).

Kosovo is considered a sovereign country in pretty much every jetpunk quiz... I have yet to see one that does not include it. The USA and several other countries do not recognize Taiwan, but for some reason people on this site never argue about that and I don't know why

jovanmajstor Not surprising you end up being the one to question Kosovo's status as a country.

Jetpunk recognize all UN recognized countries, Taiwan and Kosovo

It will not. Some of us saw that hell with our own eyes and I know how those empty words what is something or what is not can bring terror. It is just painfull.

Painful or not, it's facts.

And here on Jetpunk, we deal with facts.

@ Corrode

Bosnia doesn't recognize Kosovo

Well, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina would without Republika Srpska's veto.

Is there a chance that you could order these according to alphabetical order, it would make working out what I missed out a bit easier. Apart from that a great quiz, thanks

Not a fan, it introduces a meta element

thanks for the 5 points

Took me 10 seconds :)

Ekhem, Kosovo is not a country, it's a part of Serbia. If you count Kosovo as country, you have to accept Lakotah, Transnistria, Southern Ossetia and Abkhazia as countries too.

Unfortunately, half the world recognize Kosovo. the others you mentioned have VERY limited recognition.

How about Palestine :)

Jetpunk is an american website so it was to at least support the USA's policies, even vaguely. So i think that's why it doesn't accept Palestine

Take Abkhazia. Abkhazia is only recognized by 4 countries

Though they don't want to admit it publicly, it seems like the Serbians have tacitly admitted Kosovo is an independent country. For example, when I tried to drive from Moldova to Transnistria, there was no Moldovan customs checkpoint or border at all. There was a Transnistrian checkpoint, but not a Moldovan one. Moldova treats Transnistria as if it is still part of Moldova.

On the other hand, when I tried to drive from Serbia to Kosovo, I was stopped by Serbian customs, they acted as if I was leaving the country, and without any legal grounds for doing so they stole my car.

I am italian and I have scored 7 on 7, with 43 seconds as remaining time.

Instructions: "Guess the modern day countries that were formerly part of Yugoslavia. "

Republic of Kosovo was never part of Yugoslavia, Kosovo was an autonomous region in Serbia, as it was 'till 2008, and as it almost is today.

If it was in Serbia it was in Yugoslavia. Today it is an independent country.

Not really.

Really.

If Serbia was in Yugoslavia and Kosovo was a part of Serbia, then it would be extremely bizarre if Kosovo wasn't also a part of Yugoslavia. It's like saying Phoenix is a part of Arizona but not a part of the USA.

The word 'till' is not an abbreviation, and is in fact the earlier form of 'until', so an apostrophe is not need before the word, as in 'till.

It'll be good if you could add a map

Wouldn't that make it a bit easy?

Good job, im happy to see you've recognize Kosovo and F.Y.R.O.M's new name, North Macedonia

You've earned a new sub :D

Got them all with 0:31 remaining at 6:17:46 PM on February 19, 2019. North Macedonia was the last country I remembered and typed in. A quick, satisfyingly simple quiz for those who know which countries are in the Balkans.

Happy to see that after 4 years, people aren't whining about Kosovo anymore.

This is a controversial topic, and if you want to add Kosovo, you should at least put * next to it. Yes, a lot of western countries recongize it, but Kosovo is DE JURE not a sovereign country.

That's debatable. What's not debatable is that it is de facto a sovereign country, and JetPunk favors de facto over de jure.

What about Slovakia

Was part of Czechoslovakia until 1993.

Most random question ever ez
