Montenegro Question

[FreeTerminus]

Hi Now that Montenegero has declared independence, I'm wondering: Does "Serbia and Montengero" still exist, just only with Serbia? Is it now just "Serbia", but still technically a state union? Or is Serbia now an entirely independent country too?

 

[Kyriakos]

It is just Serbia, although it is made up of main Serbia, the Voivodina republic, and Kossovo.

Out of interest, Is 'Serbia and Montenegro' in the world cup? Could be kinda awkward for them during this break-up.

I believe it is.

Well obviously you don't speak Cleric, basically what he is saying is apart or together they are the same, and any influence that has on the world cup is negligable, if we look at the histories of the two "countries" we can find that in reality... Oh wait a minute I don't speak Cleric, shiznitz!

Yeah, they're in group C with Argentina, Ivory Coast, and Holland. Argentina and Holland are the favourites to go through.

Is it a freaking coincidence that Montenegro means Black Hill in Spanish or there is a historical reason?

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

It came from the name Crna Gora which means Black Mountain, and and it turned into it's Venetian name, monte negro.

Has the split already occured? I know Montenegro voted for independence, but does it have a functioning government of its own yet, or is it still joined with Serbia?

 

[aussieboy]

As far as I know, It's got a functionig government of its own. Much of the necessary bureaucracy is there, since Serbia and Montenegro were a loose federation precisely so that Crna Gora can function if it seceded.

Yes, Montenegero has voted and declared independence.

Well, I don't speak that language (Serbo-Croatian?), but I guess "Ostala braca Srbi sami hehe." means something like "Serbs are now alone".

What is "braca"?

 

[Winner]

On the topic, I think it is logical that the confederation of Serbia and Montenegro now ceased to exist and both countries will now have their own names.

 

[Kozmos]

What is "braca"?

Brothers.

OK and the rest?

Now... where is that 1991 cartoon of the mapmaker pointing a gun to his head because there's too many border changes? That's the first thing that came to mind when I read that.

I remember that clearly - we had just spent the previous year learning about the Soviet Union...

Strange that I can usually catch at least some ideas, when I see other Slavic languages written (except those written in cyrillic ), but I don't understand a word when I am in Croatia or Serbia
