Explicație:
The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, ninth largest country in Europe, occupies the northwestern portion of the Balkan Peninsula, fronting on the Adriatic Sea. Its six constituent republics (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia) and two autonomous provinces (Kasoro and Vojvodina) are centralized at Federal level.
Primarily mountainous, Yugoslavia has a long indented coastline, an area of great plains and slow rivers, and four large international lakes, as well as many smaller mountain lakes and streams. Transitional in position and climate between continental and Mediterranean Europe, it has drainage to three seas: the Adriatic, Aegean and Black. Much of the terrain is limestone, the country is well forested, and has abundant water resources. Traditionally an agricultural land, it is rapidly progressing into industrial development utilizing its hydroelectric and thermal (coal) resources.
The traditional capture fisheries of its lowland rivers and floodplains are declining with river regulation, drainage, and pollution, but still continue, albeit at slackened pace. Aquaculture for warmwater species continues to advance rapidly, and trout culture is also important. The opportunities for sport fishing, some of it excellent, attract both local and foreign sportsmen.

3. PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY
Yugoslavia is situated between 40°51' and 46'53"N latitudes and 13°23' and 23'02"E longitudes.
Roughly ovate, its greatest length (ESE-WNW) is 978 km, and its greatest breadth (NNE-SSW) is about 425 km. Its altitudinal range is from sea level to 2 864 m (Mt. Triglav).
Yugoslavia is bounded by seven countries: on the extreme northwest by Italy for 202 km, on the north by Austria for 324 km and by Hungary for 623 km, on the northeast by Romania for 557 km, on the east by Bulgaria for 536 km, on the south by Greece for 262 km, and on the southeast by Albania for 465 km. Its total boundary with other countries totals 2 969 km of which 2 173 km is land, 711 km is river, and 85 km is lake. (Length of boundaries from Statistički Godišnjak Jugoslavije, 1987.)
In addition, it is bounded on the west by the Adriatic Sea for 2 092 km (or 628 km bee-line). This highly indented coast is fringed with about 1 050 islands whose inclusion raises the length of the coastline to 6 116 km. Thirty-seven of these islands are over 7 km2 in area and eight are over 100 km2.
Three-quarters of the country is mountainous and hilly. The remainder consists of plains and river valleys. About 30 percent is less than 200 m in elevation, 25 percent between 200 and 500 m, 27 percent between 500 and 1 000 m, and 18 percent above 1 000 m.
Yugoslavia has three large physiographic regions (Western, Central and Eastern) subdivided into smaller sub-regions.
