Unique Master Citizen Number (Serbo-Croatian: Jedinstveni matični broj građana, JMBG, Macedonian: Единствен матичен број на граѓанинот, ЕМБГ, Slovene: Enotna matična številka občana, EMŠO) was a unique identification number that was assigned to every citizen of former Yugoslav republics of the SFR Yugoslavia. Today it continues to be used in all of the countries that were created after the dissolution of Yugoslavia – Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia. Only Croatia has since started switching to a different scheme, but most of its citizens still have and use this number.

And my images roared and rose on heaven’s hill.”
