Postal codes in Yugoslavia

Last updated

Yugoslavian postal codes were introduced on January 1, 1971 and consisted of five digits. The first two digits roughly corresponded to the routing zones, mostly matching each of the Yugoslav republics: 1, 2 and 3 for Serbia, 4 and 5 for Croatia, 6 for Slovenia, 7 for Bosnia and Herzegovina, 8 for Montenegro and 9 for Macedonia. District seat cities usually had 000 as the last three digits, while smaller towns and villages had non-round last three digits.

Former Yugoslav postal codes are still used in the successor states of Serbia and Montenegro. North Macedonia and Slovenia removed the first digit and the remaining four digits continue to be in use. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, postal codes were adapted to new administrative structures. Croatia and Kosovo have new postal code systems.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Yugoslavs</span> United South Slavic people and the citizens of the former Yugoslavia

Yugoslavs or Yugoslavians is an identity that was originally conceived to refer to a united South Slavic people. It has been used in two connotations: the first in a sense of common shared ethnic descent, i.e. panethnic or supraethnic connotation for ethnic South Slavs, and the second as a term for all citizens of former Yugoslavia regardless of ethnicity. Cultural and political advocates of Yugoslav identity have historically purported the identity to be applicable to all people of South Slav heritage, including those of modern Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia. Although Bulgarians are a South Slavic group as well, attempts at uniting Bulgaria with Yugoslavia were unsuccessful, and therefore Bulgarians were not included in the panethnic identification. Since the dissolution of Yugoslavia and establishment of South Slavic nation states, the term ethnic Yugoslavs has been used to refer to those who exclusively view themselves as Yugoslavs with no other ethnic self-identification, many of these being of mixed ancestry.
