[KCDXC] Yugoslavia

[Mike ZooLoo]

Yugoslavia becomes Serbia and Montenegro: Yugoslavia's
parliament has voted to formally abolish that nation
and replace it with a new country called Serbia and
Montenegro, which were the two remaining Yugoslav
republics. In accordance with a deal arranged by the
European Union and aimed at keeping the two republics
together, Serbia and Montenegro will continue to share
a capital--Belgrade--and a joint administration for
defense and foreign affairs. The new arrangement will
have little immediate impact on Amateur Radio. For
DXCC purposes, Serbia and Montenegro will be
considered a single entity--at least for the time
being--and amateurs there are expected to continue
using YU/YT prefixes. The situation could change in
three years when residents of the two republics would
be allowed to vote to stick together or go their
separate ways. Yugoslavia was established in 1918 as
the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. DXCC
criteria are available on the ARRL Web site.
