"EU headache over redrawing Balkan map
Brussels, May 27, IRNA
EU-Balkans-Analysis
With Montenegrins having declared independence, the coffin of former Yugoslavia has been laid to rest along with the dreams of a 'Greater Serbia.'
The small Adriatic republic with a population of 700,000 voted in a referendum on Sunday to end its union with Serbia.
After World War II, Marshall Tito had formed a communist republic under the name Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia. It was composed of six republics: Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Slovenia, and Montenegro as well as the two provinces of Kosovo and Vojvodina.
After Tito's death in 1980, it was doubtful whether his successors could continue to hold Yugoslavia together and, eventually with the collapse of communism, Yugoslavia started to break apart in 1992."
