I think they were trying to say that Croatia is no longer part of the same dominion as Hungary (Croatia was never part of Hungary, but was a vassal state of the Crown before WWI).
Thank you for the kind presumption, but I actually fucked it up and scrambled up my geography, @bokster@lemmy.sdf.org was right to correct me. I looked at a map before I wrote that, too, and I still read it wrong. I’m not even sure what i thought was between them…
As someone who grew up within cycling distance of that very border, no worries, that part of the world is confusing.
When I had elementary school geography, we were taught a different status quo on how the Balkan countries are, and the teachers back then were getting it wrong on instinct and were correcting themselves regularly because they were taught yet another one.
