The name of the country is taken from the name of South Slavic people. For the rest of the history, their territory was under the control of Austrian-Hungary and Ottoman Empire.
The people who live in Yugoslavia embrace different religious affiliations. The major religions include Roman Catholicism, Islam, Protestantism and Judaism.
In the average Yugoslav family the YUGO counted as a true family member. On weddings the Yugoslav flag flaunted from its windows. It was rushed to the maternity ward for the safe birth of many newborn Yugoslavs. Yugoslav boys and girls in their teenage days “borrowed” the YUGO for a first ride around the block. And many adolescent romances with soft music and a view over the city took place on the backseat of this car. The YUGO is in other words a loyal witness to the most intimate moments of everyday life in Yugoslavia.
