About Yugoslavia – Goran Bregovic

“If we look at history, the best period was these last fifty years of socialist Yugoslavia. We haven’t had a better period. It was a time when all children went to school, when we all had jobs and social security… Back then, it seemed like, ‘Oh, is that all we have?’ Today, it feels like, ‘If only we still had that.’ Somehow, it all fell apart too soon. If it had to happen, it should have happened at a better time.”

— Goran Bregović, musician
