Talk:1999 Men's Ice Hockey World Championships

yugoslavia
according to the qualifying proceedures for the 2002 winter olympics, the IIHF ranked yugoslavia as 30th. They did not play in the tournament because (I believe-I can only find a french reference and I do not understand it all) the host dutch would not allow entrance of yugoslav citizens because of the situation in kosovo. this would appear to change the numerical ranking of the following entrants as well.18abruce (talk) 08:35, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
