At the end of the First World War Montenegro became the only Allied country to lose its independence, becoming instead a part of Serbia – and of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes which was proclaimed in 1918. In 1945, following the end of the Second World War, Montenegro (along with Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia and Macedonia) became part of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, under Tito. With the collapse of Yugoslavia and the war between Serbia and Croatia in the 1990s, Montenegro sided with Serbia. Following this conflict, and the war in Bosnia, Serbia and Montenegro maintained the name Yugoslavia, but from 2002 this confederation was renamed the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro. In May 2006 Montenegro held a referendum and voted for independence from Serbia. The EU began accession talks with Montenegro in 2012, however such a step as EU membership is likely to be several years away.
