Goodbye Serbia and Montenegro...
...hello Serbia AND Montenegro!
Last night Montenegro voted to effect its independence from Serbia.
So, Serbia loses its beach and Europe gains a new Balkan country. The disintegration of Yugoslavia is almost complete. Kosovo looks to be next. A few years from now maybe everyone in the Balkans can have their own private country.
Of course, the real impact of Montenegro's independence won't be felt until next year in Finland because a little more Balkan in-voting is just what Dr Eurovision ordered.
Apparently, Eurovision is quite the impetus for geopolitical change!

Interestingly Serbia and Montenegro have qualified for the World Cup... not sure when the split takes place, but that team is basically now defunct.
As far as I know they are pushing for an early settlement if all goes smoothly, which these things rarely do. I have a feeling it was some time in mid July but it could have been June. It talks about it somewhere in the linked articles above.
