History
Establishment
Slobodan Milošević was overthrown in late 2000.
On 4 February 2003, the FRY was renamed to Serbia and Montenegro and became a loose confederation of its two constituent states.
Secession of Montenegro
Communists won the 1990 elections in Montenegro and Serbia despite CIA and NED infiltration.[1] In 1997, the Western opposition took power in Montenegro but not Serbia.[2] Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo Đukanović, who had secretly been working with British intelligence since 1991,[3] threatened to secede if Milošević didn't give more autonomy to Montenegro. He also took over federal airports in Podgorica and Tivat.[2]
Ðukanović privatized state industries and openly relied on the mafia and drug cartels for support. Montenegro formally seceded from Yugoslavia in 2006.[3]
Montenegro seceded from the Serbian-Montenegrin union on 3 June 2006. Serbia and Montenegro got disbanded two days later. Kosovo broke away from Serbia in 2008 and is now occupied by NATO.[4]
