Ethnicities

Yugoslavs in Serbia refers to a community in Serbia that view themselves as Yugoslavs with no other ethnic self-identification. Additionally, there are also Serbs, Croats, Montenegrins, Bosniaks, and people of other ethnicities in Serbia who identify themselves as Yugoslavs in a broader sense. However, the latter group does not consider itself to be part of a Yugoslav ethnicity, which is the way the first group identifies itself. According to data from the 2022 census, 27,143 people or 0.4% of population of Serbia (excluding Kosovo) declared their ethnicity as exclusively Yugoslav.[1]

Ahead of the 2022 census, a newly formed organization called National Movement "Yugoslavs" (Narodni pokret “Jugosloveni”)[3] began campaigning to citizens of Serbia to freely self-identify as Yugoslavs, an initiative joined by a number of public figures. One of them is a radio host Daško Milinović, who also announced that work is underway for establishing the National Council of Yugoslavs in Serbia for self-identifying Yugoslavs to enjoy equal ethnic minority rights.[4][5] According to Milinović, Yugoslavs are a community not in an ethnic sense but a community of common values.[5] Among the younger generations who never lived in former Yugoslavia, identifying as Yugoslav tends to be due to their multi-ethnic background but also in protest against nationalism.[6]
