    • 1998, Žarko Paić, “Tri pristupa raspadu Jugoslavije”, in Kolo, number 1, Zagreb: Matica hrvatska, page 558:
      Možda bi se ova knjiga mogla odrediti kao dosad najlegitimniji i najbolji priručnik za »jugonostalgiju«, kad potonji pojam ne bi u hrvatskim aktualnim ideologijskim prokazivanjima imao toliko negativan naboj.
      Perhaps this book could be describes as currently the most legitimate and best manual for "yugonostalgia", if the latter term weren't so negatively charged in the current Croatian ideological denunciations.
    • 2019 February 28, Nino Raspudić, “Cilj ne opravdava svako sredstvo ”, in Vijenac, number 652, Zagreb: Matica hrvatska:
      Mogu pojmiti i tolerirati nečiju individualnu jugonostalgiju kao osjećaj da mu je osobno prije bilo bolje, ali ne i podvale kako je tako bilo svima [...]
      I can understand and tolerate someone's individual Yugonostalgia as a feeling that they've personally been better off in the past, but not the deceptions about everyone being better off
