Regarding Yugoslav/Serbian classification. She was born in Skopje, but later moved to Belgrade, studied there and was prima ballerina of the National Theatre in Belgrade. Despite working and living abroad for many years, she remained a member of the Association of the ballet artists of Serbia and was awarded its lifetime achievment award. After Yugoslavia was dissolved, she kept Serbian citizenship (presumably a dual one, Belgian-Serbian) and based on that, she was granted a national pension for which the citizenship is a must. Some foreign sources which name her a Serbian ballerina are [1] and [2] (Croatian), [3] (French), [4] (German). In a 1973 documentary about her there are passages in which she talks with her young children in Serbian and reads Serbian epic poetry to them, specifically the [Ploughing of Marko Kraljević]: [5], [6], even though she lived in Brussels at the time and their father was Belgian. So I think its safe to call her "Serbian ballerina". PajaBG (talk) 21:50, 29 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
