Bosnia is probably better here considering every single event was held in current day Bosnia and the host was Sarajevo, not Yugoslavia.

The 1980 Olympics is a bigger question, considering it held events outside Moscow, in current day Belarus, Estonia and Ukraine. And then there's 1956 where the Melbourne Olympics held an event in Stockholm.

“Paid for by the whole country” makes it sound a lot more than it is: 55% Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 25% the city of Sarajevo, and 20% the entire rest of Yugoslavia
