Current Legal Status of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) and of Serbia and Montenegro
September 19, 2000
Abstract
The deteriorating relationship between Montenegro and Belgrade has raised the question of whether the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, with its two constituent republics of Serbia and Montenegro, in fact continues to exist. The answer to this question has immediate relevance to the forthcoming federal elections scheduled for 24 September 2000, and in particular the issues of:
-
whether the government of Montenegro can legitimately boycott those elections, in the sense of refusing to co-operate in their physical conduct and encouraging Montenegrins not to vote; and
-
whether the federal government is entitled to take any, and if so what, action in response to the Montenegrin government so deciding.
