#encyclopaedias

Photos of pages of the Indonesian Encyclopedia geography series featuring the entry about Yugoslavia. This book was published by PT Ichtiar Baru van Hoeve in 1989. This company is known as a producer of encyclopaedias and other reference books.

There are some typos and inaccuracies in this entry. I know because Indonesian is my native language. For example "Serbia" is written as "Servia" which is an outdated and controversial term to refer to Serbia. But other than that, the information is correct.

As always, in any book you read about Yugoslavia, including encyclopedias, it is impossible not to find a picture of the old city of Dubrovnik in Croatia. One of the most beautiful places in the Balkans. One day I will go there, for sure.

Even though I, and maybe you too, were not born when Yugoslavia still existed,  Yugoslavia will always be in our hearts. It's not perfect of course but it was a proof that that in the development of socialism to achieve communism, it must be adapted to national conditions.
