Outdated "locations" menu - the Balkans remix

Title:
Outdated "locations" menu - the Balkans remix

Area:
locations, profiles

Summary:
The Location - Country menu on the Edit Profile page is missing Montenegro, Serbia and Kosovo.

Description:
Geographic qualm:

Since Yugoslavia doesn't exist any more, it'd be nice if you listed Montenegro, Serbia and Kosovo as possible places to live. Personally, I would also keep Yugoslavia as an option, because
a. some people must have already chosen it
b. possibly there's people who enjoy the vagueness / identify as Yugoslav / got all fuzzy with nostalgia
but of course that's up to you!

(actually, b isn't a valid reason at all, come to think of it - but a is, so if you were to erase Yugoslavia, I think you ought to make sure to alert people who've marked it instead of just defaulting them to countrylessness. Which, er, may be obvious, but it wasn't on LJ, so.)

After a quick skim + Google search, I didn't find any other countries you're missing/need to get rid of.

Cheers!

Just FYI, I'm really sorry about this -- we're using the same country data LJ is, and they're still using the 1990 list, I think. I'm pretty sure we have a bug open to fix up the country list to the current one, but it's good to identify which ones in particular there should be!
