Oh, I disagree! Maybe there are none in the Balkans
, but I grew up with "Jugos". Given, some were born here, but when being at their parents, most called themselves Yugoslavs. To me, exotic places like Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia have not been been much different as when a German says he's from Bavaria or Hamburg: more describing a region than an ethnicity.
If I recall correctly, the highest percentage of people who said they are Yugos was in Bosnia, with about 20% of the population.
Given, today, only a few Balkanese-Germans call themselves Jugos, occasionally you'll still find one (mostly the older)

This is serious business, OK.  |
Oh, what shall I say, us Deutsche are called Germans, Allemans, Saxons, many other names, mostly after ancient tribes.
But I try to spell your country right:
Ö-S-T-R-A S-V-E-R-I-G-E
