In February 2003 the federal union of Serbia-Montenegro replaced the republic of Jugoslavija.

In May 2006 a referendum resulted in 55.5% of the population voting for the independence of Montenegro. A month later this was acknowledged by Serbia. The European Commission continued separately negotiating with Montenegro on the Stabilisation and Association Agreement originally opened with federal Serbia-Montenegro. The SAA between Montenegro and the EU was signed on 15 October 2007.

There will be more information about Montenegro later.
