Today part of[edit]

Could someone take a look at the Today part of section of the infobox? I fixed the previous editor's change, but it doesn't mean I condone it - actually, I think it'd be better without it (the template does mention avoiding it when there are more than four "today" countries). There are seven countries there right now, and the Kosovo entry with a footnote is making it too large for an infobox. Thoughts? byteflush Talk 03:51, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

I don't know why Kosovo needs the footnote anyway. Taiwan, another country in a similar situation as Kosovo, doesn't have such a note whenever it is mentioned. If anything, it probably should be the other way around since more states recognize Kosovo than they do the ROC. – Illegitimate Barrister (talkcontribs), 12:48, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
Well Kosovo's declaration of independence was controversial, within Serbia, while Taiwan, or the ROC, never had a deceleration of independence. It has been a state since 1911. If a Hainan island were to declare independence right now, it would require a footnote when articles mention it, but Taiwan never declared independence from the People's Republic of China.

Act[edit]

Was there ever a formal act dissolving the SFRY (like the USSR did) or did it just fade out into non-existence? – Illegitimate Barrister (talkcontribs), 07:13, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

No, because FR Yugoslavia acted as the continuation of SFR Yugoslavia with just dropping the "Socialist" from SFRY and becoming FRY. Basically republics were leaving the federation at different stages and the instituions just continued working on with the republics which were still part of it. However, by spring 1992 only Montenegro was left in the federation along Serbia and its desire to mantain Yugoslavia. It would be only much later, that it was established April 1992 as the time SFRY dissolved, same month that FR Yugoslavia was officially proclaimed. FkpCascais (talk) 07:21, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
Okay, I see. Thank you.Illegitimate Barrister (talkcontribs), 15:45, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
There wasn't a formal act between SFRY republics, however there was a formal act done by Badinter Arbitration Committee [1]. See opinion no. 1. FR Yugoslavia was not "the continuation of SRFY" as Fkp considers it, but it was just one of former Yugoslav republics. It aspired to be the solely successor state, thus keeping "Yugoslavia" in its name, however that was not formally recognized by anyone. Since no one recognized that, eventually FRY dropped that aspiration and changed its name to Serbia and Montenegro. 141.138.35.189 (talk) 11:33, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

The actual Government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia considered itself to be the successor state of SFR Yugoslavia, which was not recognised in the international community. However, the Federal Assembly of Yugoslavia did pass legislation which altered how the state functioned, meaning that in effect there was a formal dissolution of SFR Yugoslavia when a new Constitution of FR Yugoslavia was created in 1992.

Added Serbo-Croatian name[edit]

Most Wikipedia pages about countries have the name of the country, in its native language, at the start of the first paragraph. I did the same for SFR Yugoslavia. Azaan Habib 09:28, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

REALLY? Why do my edits keep on getting deleted? This is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen.

@Azaan Habib: It's not pathetic. The country has had several official names and no official language on federal level. The long official name(s) in all three most commonly spoken languages in 2 different scripts would unnecessarily overwhelm the lead. The names are discussed in very first subsection, you'll notice. Even if shortened to merely Yugoslavia, which is no different to the name in native languages, is something like the following really necessary? ChrisTakey (talk) 12:25, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
(/ˌjɡˈslɑːviə/; Serbo-Croatian: Jugoslavija / Југославија [juɡǒslaːʋija]; Slovene: Jugoslavija [juɡɔˈslàːʋija]; Macedonian: Југославија [juɡɔˈsɫavija]  
Alright that's fine, as long as it's in one of the sections. The thing is that I wouldn't have needed to put it in all the languages in two scripts, since the name Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia doesn't actually change between the languages, so you would only need a Cyrillic and Latin version.
