Well, I'm sure that brilliant minds of Britain aren't going to study in Norway. Does that disqualify Norway from first world country club? And, believe it or not, there were cases of people from western Europe studying in Yugoslavia.

No, there weren't super quality universities for super smart or super rich, your Harvards or Yales, it was all public education, but it was comparable or better than public education in the western world, depending on the country. Worse than some, also true, but on the whole, comparable.

I actually do have a few propaganda books on how brilliant the revolution in Yugoslavia(and Albania, of course) was, funny how none of those mentioned the torture dungeons, system of informers or police brutality....
Comparing communist Yugoslavia and communist Albania is like comparing South and North Korea.

But I guess that a first world quality country wouldn't need any torture dungeons to keep their populations from revolting, so obviously Yugoslavia didn't have any, right?
Like Guantanamo? Are you now excluding both USA and Norway from first world countries?
