Yugoslavia doesnīt exist so why people living in Serbia or Montenegro still have to use Yugoslavian flag on this site? Other former Yugoslavian countries like Croatia, Slovenia or Bosna-Herzegovina are recognized by VJ but the others are not. The name Yugoslavia was completely abandoned more than 5 years ago and I assume it irritates the people of Serbia or Montenegro that they donīt get to have their own flag here. If it doesnīt irritate them, it irritates me at least tongue.gif
Or would that be nice to start calling USA colonies of Great Britain again? It used to be truth so what? tongue.gif I donīt think so.

Can you please fix this? Thank you smile.gif

The flag of Kosovo will show up first... they are more important. Serbia sucks.
Scott and Marta
You havenīt even been there. Watch your mouth.
A.J.
lololol...... Kosovo rules.
Scott and Marta
What...Ever

I am not discussing which country you prefer better I just want VJ to finally recognize them.

Most of the Serbians I know are not bothered by the term "Yugoslavia", at all. They were actually desperately trying to prevent former Yugoslavia from falling apart. You will still find many "Yugo nostalgicara" ( people who feel nostalgia for former Yugoslavia) on the territory of former Yugoslavia...among Serbians, Croats and also Bosnians, even though the war did awful things to most of them. But most of those "nostalgians" you'll find among Serbs.
But yes, it would be politically correct to abolish the name "Yugoslavia" from the VJ list.

Well yeah smile.gif I believe there are such people in Germany too smile.gif Remembering the "good old days" tongue.gif Itīs often caused by people tending to just remember the good stuff and forgetting the bad stuff. Then they twist it in their head to make it look even better sometimes. Thatīs just human nature smile.gif If there was such happiness and content with things revolution or war wouldnīt most likely occur smile.gif

Well, not exactly. I am originally from Croatia. A part of my family had to flee Bosnia, and the other part was displaced from Serbia. You'll find many of us "Former Yugoslavians" all over the globe, even though we might have other countrie's passports now... wink.gif
Scott and Marta
Well I know many people from there who donīt like being called Yugoslavian tongue.gif

My grandparents dont mind being called Yugoslavian, but then again i wont ask for a form to be changed if they did or become rude to other members bc they didnt agree with them, as they are just 2 ppl and not a world whistling.gif
Scott and Marta
I wasnīt rude to anybody and I see no reason why I shouldnīt ask for their flags to be added smile.gif
*julez*
Marta, I agree with you. If the country no longer exists, then this site should be updated to reflect that change. And, for the record, you weren't rude. Others were rude to you. I thought your request was fine.
Sinergy
No body was rude to the OP, troll made a funny and the OP had a heart murmur over it.
again....vj sheesh

Scott and Marta
I had no murmur rofl.gif

This is really a non-issue, I have yet to see an instance where the Captain has denied such a request.
BabyBlueSusie
I have always wondered the same thing Marta!!!

The flags of Montenegro and Serbia should be added, and so should Kosovo's.

I hereby declare I will not post on VJ again until the former Yugoslavian countries are properly represented here.
