After the Dissolution of Yugoslavia, the +38 disappeared on its
own.

    In the same vein, Czechoslovakia was +42 and when it was dissolved, Czechia became +420 and Slovakia +421

  2. It was neatly following the area codes of each republic, but when Montenegro split away in 2006, they messed it up and took 382 instead of 388. Later, Kosovo took 383, which again matched their area codes, but if Vojvodina is ever independent, they will be stuck with 388 despite all their area codes beginning with 2.

    Why Serbia was not granted +38 as the successor state? Because it is not considered as the true successor?

    U cant make this shit up, they reserved numbers for future countries 😭😭😭

  5. Interesting that +381 and 2 are used by Serbia and Montenegro, not by Croatia and Slovenia (the latter two were the first countries that left Yugoslavia)

  6. The phrase country code should be on here somewhere. The phone icon is the only reason I figured out what +38 is. At first I thought it was a group of people.

  7. Of course.

    Can you imagine having given +38 to one individual part of former Yugoslavia?

    Those guys kill each other over less.
