English version：
Serbia and Montenegro
Federated country, western central Balkan Peninsula, consisting of the republics of Serbia and Montenegro. Area: 39,449 sq mi (102,173 sq km). Population (1997 est.): 10,632,000. Capital: Belgrade. The population comprises Serbian, Albanian, Montenegrin, Hungarian, and other ethnic groups. Languages: Serbo-Croatian (official), Albanian. Religions: Serbian Orthodoxy, Islam, Catholicism, Protestantism. Currency: Yugoslav new dinar. The southern two-thirds of Yugoslavia is mountainous, with the Dinaric Alps in the west and the Balkan Mtns. in the east. Rivers include the Danube, Ibar, Morava, Timis, and Tisza. The country has oil, gas, coal, copper, lead, zinc, and gold deposits. Its industries include machine building, metallurgy, mining, electronics, and petroleum products, while its agricultural products include corn, wheat, potatoes, and fruit. It is a federal republic with two legislative houses; its chief of state is the federal president, and the head of government is the prime minister. The Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovens was created after the collapse of Austria-Hungary at the end of World War I. The country signed treaties with Czechoslovakia and Romania 1920-21, marking the beginning of the Little Entente. In 1929 an absolute monarchy was established, the country's name was changed to Yugoslavia, and it was divided without regard to ethnic boundaries. Axis powers invaded Yugoslavia in 1941, and German, Italian, Hungarian, and Bulgarian troops occupied it for the rest of World War II. In 1945 the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was established; it included the republics of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia. Its independent form of Communism under Tito's leadership, provoked the U.S.S.R. and led to its expulsion from the Cominform in 1948. Internal ethnic tensions flared up in the 1980s, causing the country to collapse. In 1991-92 independence was declared by Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina; the new Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (containing roughly 45% of the population and 40% of the area of its predecessor) was proclaimed by Serbia and Montenegro. Still fueled by long-standing ethnic tensions, hostilities continued into the 1990s (see Bosnian conflict). Despite the approval of the Dayton peace accord (1995), sporadic fighting continued and was followed in 1998-99 by Serbian repression and expulsion of ethnic populations in Kosovo (see Kosovo conflict).
