Each of the following nations emerged independent from Yugoslavia except?

Latvia is the correct answer because it did not emerge from Yugoslavia but rather gained its independence from the Soviet Union. The other nations listed—Slovenia, Serbia, and Macedonia—were all part of the former Yugoslavia and became independent following its dissolution in the early 1990s. Slovenia was the first to declare independence in 1991, followed by Macedonia, and Serbia, which was part of the remaining Federal Republic of Yugoslavia until it became independent in 2006. Thus, Latvia's historical context and independence timeline distinctly separate it from the Yugoslav context.
