probably because Yugoslavia ceased being a country in the 90's? obviously if you add up the total number of ib students from Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Serbia (the main countries that used to be Yugoslavia) as well as students who are either refugees from Yugoslavia or children of refugees, the number would be a lot greater. Yugoslavia appears in history topics because there was a civil war which caused the country to be divided up and separated into different countries 

 

this statistic is really worthless lol

Damn that's true. I blame the IB, it is its official statistics! But I think they are pretty cool :D

Slovenia counts in as well :P Serbia has, as of now, 3 IB schools, I think there are 2 in Bosnia and Herzegovina (one of them being UWC), and I think 2 in Croatia. :D So yeah, princess' argument holds quite well, we haven't been a single country for a while already, but there's still quite a lot of us around :P 

 

PS. Born in Serbia, surviving IB in Slovenia. :D
