You use it like the other map files. Put it in the same place where the others are located (in the directory pointed to with GADDIR environment variable), then try 'set mpdset newmap'.

I do not have any specific shapefiles for that area, or any links, but I am sure someone here will respond with some options for you. In the meantime, I'll look for some online just in case.

(I know we are small, and mostly irrelevant, but Yugoslavia started to fall apart in early 90s) Or is there any chance to make map, putting some political maps like a layer or something like that.
