Serbia and Montenegro Union: Prospects and Policy Implications

Abstract

Among the many policy challenges currently or imminently facing Serbia and Montenegro, such as the issue of cooperation on war crimes and the future status of Kosovo, remains the question of the future of the state itself, the Serbia and Montenegro Union Replacing the "Federal Republic of Yugoslavia" in February 2003, the union kept Serbia and Montenegro together in a highly decentralized but joint state under a deal brokered by the European Union (EU) Continued stark differences between the two republics and their respective governments have held up consolidation of the union and have contributed to a stalemate in relations with the EU. The long-term future of the Serbia and Montenegro union remains in doubt and could complicate international efforts to address unresolved problems in the region. This report may be updated as events warrant.
