Yugoslavia, Federal Republic of, federation of the republics of Serbia and Montenegro, located in southeastern Europe on the Balkan Peninsula. From 1945 to 1991 Yugoslavia was a larger Communist federal state, called the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) beginning in 1963, consisting of six republics. In 1990 the Communist party split, and new non-Communist parties formed. Multiparty elections that year ended 45 years of one-party rule but also brought nationalist political parties into power in all six republics, contributing to ethnic tension in the SFRY. Four of the republics Bosnia and Herzegovina (often referred to simply as Bosnia), Croatia, Macedonia, and Slovenia declared their independence in 1991 and 1992, leaving only Serbia and Montenegro unified. On April 27, 1992, Serbia and Montenegro acknowledged the breakaway of the four republics by proclaiming themselves the successor state to the SFRY, taking the name Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY). In early 1996 the FRY was recognized as a country by the member nations of the European Union (EU); however, it was not recognized by many other countries, including the United States, until 2000. The United Nations (UN) did not recognize the FRY as the successor state to the SFRY, but in 2000 the UN admitted the FRY as a new member. In 2002 the leaders of Serbia and Montenegro signed an agreement that, once ratified, would change the name of the FRY to Serbia and Montenegro. The republic of Serbia is much larger and more populous than Montenegro, and it contains the capital and largest city, Belgrade.
