On 14 March 2002, the
Agreement on
the Union of Serbia and Montenegro was signed by the president of
the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the Federal
Deputy Prime Minister, the President of the Republic of
Montenegro, the Prime Ministers of the
governments of cs-sr.html and Montenegro as well as the High
Representative of the European Union, as an
observer.
The Agreement stated that the new state should be called "Serbia and
Montenegro".
On 6 December 2002, the 27-member commission on constitutional reform presented a first draft of the new federal constitution for Serbia and Montenegro.
On 4 February 2003, the Parliament of the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia adopted "The Constitutional Charter of the State Community
of Serbia and Montenegro", together with the law on its
implementation.
By so adopting the Charter, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was
renamed Serbia and Montenegro.
The new unicameral parliament of the federation will have 126 seats
(Serbia: 91, Montenegro: 35), filled by nominees of the two state
parliaments for the first two years until public elections are taking
place. After three years, both states are allowed to unilaterally
leave the federation on public referendum. Full independence of
Montenegro, therefore, is still a possibility.
The law on the implementation of the constitutional charter of the state union of Serbia and Montenegro says:
Article 23.The law on the flag of the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro shall be passed within 60 days from the date on which the Parliament of Serbia and Montenegro is constituted. The law on the coat of arms and the anthem of the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro shall be passed by the end of the year 2003.
Therefore, the national flag, arms and anthem of Serbia and Montenegro are still those of the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
