If you listen carefully he has a mixed opinion about it. There was a lot of bad with Yugoslavia, just as there was plenty good. And unlike most people around here, as I mention above, he actually lived in it. In general this is a problem with some Western leftists - they almost fetishize the USSR and Yugoslavia and other ML regimes, and refuse to acknowledge some ways in which they were very bad. Statistics about orgasms, and people wanting to go back do not erase the bad, and deeply problematic, sorry.
didn't he lament its end somewhat at some point though, especially university wise? might get mixed up with another pilosopher who only was in Yugoslavia for a few years, i am not sure
from what I've heard he was happy about the destruction of Yugoslavia, so... <opinion discarded>

thanks for expanding, I haven't been able to cut through enough ZIzek to get a high-resolution picture of him
although I have enjoyed a couple of his videos
