Dear int-boundaries members,
Looking into The Enciclopedy of International Boundaries (Bigeon) I cought some 
rough mistakes concerning a space covering by the new states that apeared on 
the territory of former Yugoslavia.
On page 54 in the right colon under Historical background is an explanation: 
 >Before World War I Slovenia belonged to the Hungarian section of the 
Austro-Hungarian Empire and formed the empire's border with Serbia ?.<.
Slovenia never belonged to the Hungarian part of Austro-Hungarian Empire 
(excepting only little belt at the threepoint between Slovenia, Austria and 
Hungaria, and today Croatia).  And, Croatia lies between Slovenia and Serbia 
and the statement that Slovenia >? formed the empire's border with Serbia ?.< 
is an ugly mistake. It is obvious that author of the text did not know about 
the differences between Slovenia and Slavonia and about geographical positions 
of them.
On page 180, concerning Croatia-Serbia boundary under Present situation is an 
noturious mistake >Since autum 1991 the Croatian region of Baranya, as well as 
most of the Slovenian borderland along the Danube, have, in effect, been under 
Serb occupation and the Serbs consider it part of the self-proclaimed 'Serbian 
Republic of Krajina.'<.
Really, there is no any >Slovenian borderland along the Danube<, and any never 
been >under Serb occupation<, there on slovenian territory Serbs never have 
have any self-proclaimed Serbian Republic.
>From the map on page 466 is clear visible that Slovenia and FR Yugoslavia or 
Serbia it is written there, are not adjacent states, between them are Croatia 
and also Bosnia in Hercegovina.
There is also written that a boundary between Slovenia and Croatia 455 km. The 
true is that length of Slovenian-Croatian boundary is 546 km.
Am asking also that is it possible in such Enciclopedy to use a term Serbia in 
the meaning of state as a subject of inernational relations and international 
law. In such context Serbia does not exist. There is Federal Republic of 
Yugoslavia, constituted of Serbia (in Atlas Serbija, in original should be 
SRBIJA) and Montenegro (Crna Gora). But, under the Foreword is the clear 
sentence: >The Enciclopedy includes only contemporary international land 
boundaries. It does not include maritime boundaries or divisions between 
internal states, provinces and districts. ? An international boundary is a 
boundary line defined by international agreement or accepted by adjacent 
countries as their common international boundary?.<.
I also found  some data mostly concerning the other parts of our world which 
are in my opinion wrong, but it would be better that the >domestic people< 
correct them.
Respectfuly to all,
Filip Tunjic
