The players that played in clubs from Kosovo are only included if they played in a top league club within the Yugoslav or Serbian football league system.
The players from the countries that once made part of Yugoslavia (Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Slovenia) have inclusion criteriums indicated in each section.
The years correspond to seasons, not calendar years, and represent the seasons that the player represented the club, not necessarily being all in the top league, but at least one. If only one year is indicated in parentheses, it means that the player has played only that half of season.
Players in bold are players that have at least one cap for their national team.
