Are Italians the same as yugoslavians?

No, Italians are not the same as Yugoslavians. Italians are from Italy and are citizens of Italy, while Yugoslavians were citizens of Yugoslavia, a now-defunct country that existed between 1918 and 2003. Yugoslavia was made up of six different republics: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia. The people who lived in Yugoslavia were of many different ethnic backgrounds, including Serbs, Croats, Bosniaks, Albanians, Macedonians, and Montenegrins.
