'You guessed Yugoslavia
But it's not Yugoslavia
It's hardly Yugoslavia at all'
I haven't seen the film, but I always understood the line to refer to poverty, prostitution happening in in your own neighborhood, and the fact that people imagine that it happens in other countries, poorer places, but not where they live, as a 'that doesn't happen to us' kind of thing.
Also the idea that the guy wasn't saving her at all, he was buying her, she might have a nice house and all, but she was still regarded as property.
I don't think they turned to prostitution, just sympathize with people forced to.
