What Does YUG Stand For?

YUG stands for Former Yugoslavia ISO 3166 Trigram Obsolete 2003

YUG stands for "Former Yugoslavia ISO 3166 Trigram Obsolete 2003." It refers to the three-letter code that was previously assigned to the former Yugoslavia under the ISO 3166 standard for country codes. This designation was rendered obsolete in 2003 as a result of the dissolution of Yugoslavia into several independent countries, necessitating the update of the ISO standard to reflect the new geopolitical landscape.
