Yugoslavia was a national term, not an ethnic term. It was also an umbrella category meaning "Southern Slavs" in the same way that "Hispanic" is an umbrella term referring to the vast diversity of Latin America. So when people lived in Yugoslavia, they were called "Yugoslavs", but they also retained their ethnic identities: Albanians, Bosniaks, Bulgarians*, Croats, Hungarians*, Macedonians, Montenegrins, Serbs, and Slovenes.
* These are incredibly small minorities in former Yugoslavia.
Since the breakup of Yugoslavia, people have preserved their ethnic identities, but taken on new national identities, which include: Bosnians, Croatians, Macedonians, Montenegrins, Serbians, and Slovenians. As a result, you have Croats who live in Croatia, e.g. Croatian Croats and Croats who live in Bosnia, e.g. Bosnian Croats. You have Bosniaks who live in Bosnia, e.g. Bosnian Bosniaks, and Bosnians who live Serbia, e.g. Serbian Bosniaks.
