Summary/Abstract: In this study, we will cover the chronologically short, but politically extremely significant and stormy period between 1990, when the first free elections were held in Serbia and Montenegro, and the end of 1998. The dramatic nature of that period is not only, or even primarily, the frequent parliamentary elections (for the federal and republican parliaments) and presidential elections, but also two interconnected events that overshadowed all others with their fateful importance. The first is the outbreak of civil war in June 1991 in Slovenia, which later, like a drop of oil on water, spread to Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina and led to the collapse of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRJ). During the civil war, the four former republics of the SFRY (Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina) declared their independence and, in late 1991 and early 1992, received recognition from the international community as independent states, while the remaining two republics, Serbia and Montenegro, declared the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) on April 27, 1992. In fact, during the observed period (1990-1998), there was a change in the state framework; at the beginning of the period, Serbia and Montenegro were two of the six republics of the SFRY, and at the end of the period, the mentioned two republics were part of the FRY.
