Eric- the only thing is the Catudal book was published in the 70's.
When Yugoslavia was one single country. The country, after the
death of Tito and communism broke up into Macedonia, Slovenia,
Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro (with both de facto NATO and ethnic
Hungarian created virtual enclaves of Kosovo and Vojovidna ) and
Bosnia-Hercegovinia with the serb and croat/muslim sides of Bosnia.
The map isn't finished. You are right in that it hasn't been fully
proven here but there are people in Belgrade and Sarajevo who have
far bigger problems than Sastavci.
If you go there people are still, unfortunately, apt to side with
one group or another. The fact that a border may or may not legally
exist between BiH and Serbia for example means little because the
people between those countries have the same currency (Euro, used to
be the D-Mark when I was there), same language (serbo-croat) same
religion (protestant) and same hatred of all things Croatian.
Things like passports and liscence plates are still interchangable
as the country still isn't fully figured out.
