"Post-Yugoslavia" refers to the period following the breakup of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. This dissolution led to the emergence of several independent countries, including Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia. The breakup was marked by ethnic tensions and conflicts, notably the Yugoslav Wars, which resulted in significant loss of life and displacement. In the years since, the region has undergone various political and economic transformations. Countries have sought integration with European institutions, with some, like Slovenia and Croatia, joining the European Union. However, challenges remain, including unresolved ethnic disputes and economic disparities among the newly formed states.
