FR Yugoslavia / Serbia and Montenegro (1992–2006)

[edit]

Following the breakup of Yugoslavia and the secession of four out of six constituent republics in the SFR Yugoslavia the remaining two (Serbia and Montenegro) established a federation in 1992 called the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FR Yugoslavia). This lasted until 2003 when it was reconstituted as a political union called Serbia and Montenegro. In 2006 Montenegro declared independence and parted ways.
