Yugoslav state not Yugoslav nation

[edit]

I changed "Yugoslav nation" to "Yugoslav state" in the article because of the controversity of such a claim, i.e. the existence of one Yugoslav nation. The Serbian centralist and unitarist regime during in the time of the Yugoslav Kingdom tried to force a cultural blending of the country's three recognized nations (Slovenes, Croats and Serbs) to ensure Serbian domination. Although it is true the constitution officially established one Yugoslav nation with three officially recognized "tribes", it does not mention any of the other nationalities such as Bosnian Muslims, Macedonians or Montenegrins, and the constitution itself was imposed by king Alexander I., who had dissolved the parliament after the infamous shooting and proclaimed himself as supreme authority.

Also, the bloodbath of the past 15 years on the Balkans has shown how absurd claiming existence of one Yugoslav nation really is. --Xdx 17:29, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"right-leaning "

[edit]

What is meant by the concept of "right-leaning" in the context of the world of 1918? "Right" has a far different, and corrupted, meaning today than what people though one century ago. Maybe the proper word would be patriotic or nationalist as opposed to "big state" ZidarZ
