Sentiments like this are why we got suffering and war instead of bratsvo i jedinstvo.
What divides us is infinitely smaller than what unites us, and yet nationalists poisoned minds with what Freud called the narcissm of small differences.
Croats always claimed Serbs dominated Yugoslavia, while Serbs always claimed the opposite. The result was war and poverty.
Yugoslavia was nothing like the USSR, with much higher freedom of expression, an economic system based on coops competing on a market and freedom to travel.

For what it's worth, I'm also ethnic Croatian.
