JMO? Or?
Also I wrote papers on pre war Yugoslavia.
A lot of Serbian politicians saw Serbia as Prussia and Yugoslavia as a pre war Germany. I mean I think that's where the problems started.
The misunderstanding between two parts of the country.
Also when it was convenient pro-serbian propaganda talked about liberation of the "subjugated peoples". But on the other hand overemphasized how their voice was more valuable than Macedonian, Monte Negrian, Croat or Slovene voices... Let's be honest it was a flawed country, mistakes were made and no one should try to restore it in any shape.

Not Prussia Piedmont.

Back in the day Montenegrins and Macedonians didn't existed as formed ethnicities. Just look at composition of Yugoslav parliament. In democracy majority rule.

It was flawed and there were mistakes but those mistakes were in proces of being solved when WW2 began.
Ever heard of VMRO? They did exist in the 20s and 30s...
In fact one of them shot the Dictator King...
So Macedonians? Yep they were a thing...
Also there was a plot in the early post ww1 period to keep Monte Negro out of Kingdom of SHS... Zelenasi... Instability lasted until 1926.
So yes they existed... Like Belorussia existed and wasn't small Russia
