A farewell to YugoslaviaАрхивирано 2017-07-07 на сајту Wayback Machine (na engleskom) openDemocracy. Dejan Đokić; 10.04.2002. “I usually declared myself a Yugoslav, which had several advantages over being merely a Serb, which I also am, by virtue of being born in Serbia, to Serbian parents. True, by Yugoslav I don't just mean a citizen of a country called Yugoslavia, in Central and Eastern Europe national identities have primarily ethnic and not civic meaning. This effectively means that even though there is no country called Yugoslavia anymore, I can continue to declare myself a Yugoslav. But, I have an(other) ethnic identity, that of a Serb, and anyhow, being Yugoslav always meant something more to me than just a national identification. […] Although, as I already said, I always identified with Yugoslavia, I think I only became a real Yugoslav once the real Yugoslav state disintegrated, when I left Serbia for Britain.”
