Timeline of Yugoslavia's Breakup


1918-1992 - YUGOSLAVIA was made up of six socialist republics: Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, & Slovenia; and two autonomous provinces: Kosovo & Vojvodina (click on light blue links to view the specific post(s) in a new window).

1991 - Yugoslavia starts to break up.

1992 - Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Slovenia, and Yugoslavia (comprised of Montenegro and Serbia) become independent countries, with declarations of independence occurring the year before.

2003 - F.R. Yugoslavia is renamed Serbia & Montenegro.

2006 - Serbia & Montenegro split to form the separate nations of Serbia & Montenegro when Montenegro wanted to become independent.

2008 - Kosovo (a province still in Serbia) became independent from Serbia.

I hope this post clarifies the break-up of Yugoslavia!
