Abstract

There used to be a country called Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY: former Yugoslavia) in the Balkan Peninsula. This federal state was consisted of six republics: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, and Macedonia. Within the Republic of Serbia, the Autonomous Province of Kosovo existed together with the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. From the mid-1991 through 1992 the former Yugoslavia disintegrated, and there remained only Federal Republic of Yugoslavia consisting of Serbia and Montenegro (FR Yugoslavia). In 2003 FR Yugoslavia was reorganized into a State Union (Serbia and Montenegro), and in 2006 Montenegro became independent, leaving Serbia. Although Kosovo was de jure an Autonomous Province in the Republic of Serbia, it was de facto a protectorate of the United Nations since June 1999 when the Kosovo war ended. Its area is 10,908 km2 and its population is about two million with 90% being Albanian.
