Additionally, there are also Serbs, Croats, Montenegrins, Bosniaks and people of other ethnicities in Serbia who identify themselves as Yugoslavs.
According to the 2022 census, 27,143 people or 0.41% of all inhabitants of Serbia (excluding Kosovo) declared their ethnicity as exclusively Yugoslav, while an unknown number of people self-identify as Yugoslav in addition with other ethnicities.
[1] Ahead of the 2022 census, a newly formed organization called Narodni pokret “Jugosloveni” (National Movement "Yugoslavs")[2] began encouraging citizens of Serbia to freely self-identificate as Yugoslavs, an initiative joined by an increasing number of public figures.
One of them is a radio host Daško Milinović [sh; sr], who also announced that work is underway for establishing the National Council of Yugoslavs in Serbia, following the example of other minority communities, for self-identifying Yugoslavs to enjoy equal minority rights.
[4] Among the younger generations who never lived in former Yugoslavia, identifying as Yugoslav tends to be due to their multi-ethnic background but also in protest against nationalism.
