It doesn't look like Czech. Czech uses diacritics, so there would be no "cs" but "è", and the "i" would probably be written as "j". Unless it was German spelling of a Czech name - but it doesn't sound Czech anyway.
I think that's the way Hungarians write it, and since Yugoslavia used to be part of Hungary, I'd search in that direction.
