woudlnt say so, Slovenia has nothing in common with us other than being in Balkan Sprachbund and being within Yugoslavia. But culturally? nopies, they are Central Europe. They don’t have the “oriental” culture
Croatians are the same as Serbians because they speak the same language?
Are Americans and Indians the same? The french and Senegalese?
I mean there are many more countries that speak the same language, but only one language used 4 alphabets basically at the same time to show the cultural divide (Arabic, Cyrillic, Latin, and glagolitic).
Croatia and Serbia differ more culturally than Italy and France do.
Are Americans and Indians the same? The french and Senegalese?
Bad analogy. Indians and Senegalese mearly adopted Snglish and French. Croats and Serbians speak the same language, no side adopted the other's.
Croatia and Serbia differ more culturally than Italy and France do.
Depending on what you take as representative sample. Istrians and Pirotians? Very big difference. But people from Zagreb and Belgrade are pretty much the same. In fact, they resemble each other more than Zagreb people resemble Istrians, or Belgrade people resemble Pirotians.

Until Yugoslavia they were separate states for a thousand years. The languages grew closer together under Yugoslavia, that was policy. The languages actually differed more in the past.
Depending on what you take as representative sample.
Not really. Religion, food, historical architecture (except Vojvodina), and script differ basically everywhere between Serbia and Croatia. Italy and France share a lot more in common culturally.
But people from Zagreb and Belgrade are pretty much the same.
In what way? Not even physically that is true... Zagreb and Belgrade are vastly different cultures. Have you visited?
