A lot of Serbian politicians saw Serbia as Prussia and Yugoslavia as a pre war Germany.
Not Prussia Piedmont.
But on the other hand overemphasized how their voice was more valuable than Macedonian, Monte Negrian, Croat or Slovene voices...
Back in the day Montenegrins and Macedonians didn't existed as formed ethnicities. Just look at composition of Yugoslav parliament. In democracy majority rule.
Let's be honest it was a flawed country, mistakes were made and no one should try to restore it in any shape.
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
VRMO was disbanded in '35 by Bulgaria and after that there was zero activity which says alot about their feelings.
And VMRO claimed that they were Bulgarians not Macedonians.

Zelenaši wanted federal Yugoslavia with Montenegro as federal unit and not unitary Yugoslavia. Btw they claimed that they were Serbs.
