yep, Croatia was part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, from 1918-1929, and Kingdom of Yugoslavia, from 1929-1941. In 1941-1945 a union known as the Independent State of Croatia was set up, and after the victory of the Yugoslav Partizans led by Josip Broz Tito a Croat , and Croatia became a republic within Yugoslavia.
In 1991 Croatia declared independence and a bitter and costly war was fought by the Croatian government against the Milosevic Yugoslav People's Army, Serbian paramilitary forces and rebel Serbs from Croatia. Later the war mutated into a conflict between Republic of Croatia and the rebel Serbs. The war came to an end with Croat victory in Croatia and the signing of the Dayton Agreement, Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1995. (ref.
wikipedia) The current borders of the country were established following the end of World War II, when Serbia became a federal unit within the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Serbia became an independent state again in 2006, after Montenegro left the union which was formed after the dissolution of Yugoslavia in 1990s.
So the Serbs were left without their sea
Delfincica, do you have any jokes regarding that? For example, the Lake Titicaca (highest lake in the world) is between Bolivia and Peru. When i visited the lake, the Peruvians told me that the lake is half and half. The "titi" half is for Peru, and the 'caca" for Bolivia
sounded like a good choice for me
