Background
Serbia and Montenegro have asserted the
formation of a joint independent state,
but this entity has not been formally recognized
as a state by the US. The US view is that
the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
(SFRY) has dissolved and that none of the
successor republics represents its continuation.
In 1999, massive expulsions by Serbs of
ethnic Albanians living in the autonomous
republic of Kosovo provoked an international
response, including the bombing of Serbia
and the stationing of NATO and Russian peacekeepers
in Kosovo
