Independence of Montenegro

Summary/Abstract: With the collapse of Yugoslavia during the 1990s, only the republics of Serbia and Montenegro agreed to maintain the Yugoslav state, and established a new constitution for a new Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1992. From 1996, the first public signs of political discord between parts of Montenegrin leadership and the Serbian leadership began to appear. Montenegro created independent economic policy and turned to new political centres. The formation of a new state union of Serbia and Montenegro, following the March 2002 Belgrade Agreement, has failed to resolve the future relationship of the two republics. In 2003 the state was renamed into Serbia and Montenegro, and became a much looser union, with the fact that there was a moratorium that referendum can not be conducted until the period of three years expires. The question of the status of the relations of Serbia and Montenegro was solved by the referendum on the 21st of May 2006. The repost was 86.5%, which the biggest repost ever in the history of Montenegro, and with 55.5% of votes Montenegro voted its independence, narrowly passing the 55% threshold. The large Serbian ethnic community, making up about 30 per cent of the population, overwhelmingly voted against breaking away.
