He admits he does not have a valid license (on the back of his
card).
The Kingdom of Yugoslavia was
formed in 1922, unifying Serbia, Slovenia and Croatia. It was
invaded by the Axis powers in 1941, and militant separatists
proclaimed some independent states within, blessed by Nazi
Germany. These fake states committed attrocities to
other slavic ethnic groups and all the groups also targeted by
Nazi racial policies.
Starting by the proclamation of partisan resistance in 1943,
and finalized by the abolishment of monarchy in 1945, Yugoslavia
was renamed the People's Republic of Yugoslavia until its
resolvement through the civil war in the early 2000's.

They committed large-scale genocide against ethnic Serbs and all groups also under prosecution by the Nazis.
