Daniel Popović
Milan "Danijel" Popović (; born 29 October 1955), better known simply as Daniel (), is a Montenegrin-Croatian pop singer. Biography Born to a Montenegrin father and a Belgian mother, Popović was raised in Titograd, but made his name in Zagreb, where he moved in 1977 to pursue a career in pop music. In 1983, as a regional representative of Croatia ( TV Zagreb), he won the right to represent Yugoslavia at the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Džuli" ("Julie"). His national victory was somewhat unexpected because most observers saw popular folk singer Lepa Brena, a regional representative of Vojvodina ( TV Novi Sad), as a clear favourite. Daniel achieved 4th place in Munich, equaling at the time the best ever Yugoslav placing in the Eurovision Song Contest (Lola Novaković's 4th-place finish in 1962). "Džuli" was also a huge hit in Yugoslavia: the album sold 717,166 copies while the single sold a further 80,883. The song was a big hit in many other European countries as ...

Yugoslavs
Yugoslavs or Yugoslavians ( sh-Latn-Cyrl, Jugoslaveni/Jugosloveni, Југославени/Југословени; ; ) is an identity that was originally conceived to refer to a united South Slavic people. It has been used in two connotations: the first in a sense of common shared ethnic descent, i.e. panethnic or supraethnic connotation for ethnic South Slavs, and the second as a term for all citizens of former Yugoslavia regardless of ethnicity. Cultural and political advocates of Yugoslav identity have historically purported the identity to be applicable to all people of South Slav heritage, including those of modern Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia. Although Bulgarians are a South Slavic group as well, attempts at uniting Bulgaria with Yugoslavia were unsuccessful, and therefore Bulgarians were not included in the panethnic identification.
