"еру" titles

It's in the article. What does this mean? —Tokek 13:25, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

origin of term

I sectioned the article to eliminate the appearance that the term was introduced in the Soviet Union, an opinion even expressed in some books.

In fact, the expressions "nation titulaire"/"nationalite titulaire" may be found in French texts on the break of 19/20th centuries (eg here or a lecture title]: "La nation titulaire originaire de la souverainite". So it was probably calqued from French. Unfortunately now I have no sources to support this opinion, nor about the history of the French term (my French is very limited).

At the same time, Google search seem to indicate that the term is used predominantly in soviet/postsoviet contexts (but not exclusively so). Mukadderat (talk) 17:05, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yugoslavia

This phrase makes no sense at all to me; could someone who understands what this means make it more clear: "but is de facto separated by 98% in rural areas in the country and 85% in urban areas." Selerian (talk) 18:17, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
