Established in 2014, a group on social network Facebook titled “Find friends from the former JNA” currently gathers around 27.000 members from the territory of the entire Yugoslavia and popularity of the group increases day after day.
According to administrators, this group was formed with the aim of connecting the former comrades who served together in the army in Yugoslavia and who lost contact over the years.
