I went here in 1990 too. Dubrovnik. I will be going back. I remember the money and we had so much of it, my Dad would joke that we’re millionaires on holiday and I still have some of it when it was Yugoslavia. It was a beautiful place. 🥰🥰
In 1990 7 dinars were 1 deuche marks. You probably been in 1989. I also been in Dubrovnik in summer 1990 but only few days then went north 2 Korcula Island
Great video by this British reporter! It summarizes what this part of world was 30 years ago in 7 minutes. It has a pinch of British arrogance but I love it that way 🙂
This is the type of tourism as it should be....a lot of people, but not overcrowded. Ah, good old days in the 80-ies, i remember them with such a joy.
it's like nothing has changed in opatija i've been there and it's like the same
It once again shows how fast life changes.
Opatija hasn't changed much since then to be honest.
Beautiful Yugoslavia!
And more beautiful Croatia.

Ey up hope you're well 😊

There is shitload of beaches just not sand. Which is perfect as sand is nasty, dirty and gets in everywhere. Its beautiful pebbles beaches and tons to choose from. Crikvenica has sand and pebbles
It looks like to South of France, my region.
Both are on the Mediterranian
Very similar
And one year later the war began
Very intresting & good video 🍀
The old Italian lira was also like the Dinar that they are explaining here
And some people call this ”East Europe”...
What is wrong? It is East Europe, like Crimes or Constantinople.

@@KOSOVOisSERBIA222 Because is south Europe
I take horror shots in Hakudovo Resort. Today it's abandoned and a crumbling place
Inflation was the main reason why this state collapsed two years later.
Are you shure... Ha ha ha..Brotherhood and unity..
No it was not.. Because inflation was stoped in January 1990..it was sure not the reasons.. Yugoslavia had highest living standard off any socialist country then so if you think economy was reason off war then all communist country should had them 2.. Real reason was first democratic elections in 1990..so to get more votes politic partyes used nationalistic stuff and that started spiral that was going faster and faster.. I am from Serbia and I went to holiday in 1990 to today's Croatia, then was still Yugoslavia.. We still had no idea that just 1 year from that there would be war
(4:50) "..You sunbathe and swim from the rocks.."
In tennis (?) shoes!
Ouch. Better hot foot it down to the water!
How the British still wish it wasn't the "former" Yugoslavia. :-)
Yeah UK is going the same way like Yugoslavia 😋
No, it really isn't.
When are people going to get over the love affair with "Former Yugoslavia". It died in the early 90's, way overdue. Does anyone still call Russia or Ukraine, Former Soviet Union? WTF? Get over it.
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 Trump 2024.👍
Do you post that randomly under every video?
Has Trump got Irish origins????
@@kamrankhan-lj1ng i believe Scottish and German.
Wonder how many people in this video are now dead.
it was 31/32 years ago. i was born a year earlier and i'm from that part of Croatia.
John Carter is still alive and there are many people younger than him in this video - strange comment.
@@ihghjgh I was 12 when this was filmed.
@@robin231176 You do know how Yugoslavia no longer exists?
Never thought about that watching a video clip
