Examples: dual citizenship, but no dual nationality. Also adopted nationality. According to the way it was understood in Croatia- or Yugoslavia you could have been a Croat with Slovene, German etc mother or father. But the concept of being half this and half that did not exist.Your nationality was where your loyalty was expected to be and this could not have been sliced and distributed. This does not vouch for Tito's loyalty, just what nationality he was considered, regardless of his pedigree. French are not ashamed of Napoleon (look at Goya's Spanish drawings) so famous and distinguished Croats do not have necessarily to be perfection itself either. I have varied ancestry but, please, do not slice me. Tatjana
