Montenegro and Serbia - A Velvet Divorce?

This is the first comprehensive analysis of the often divergent history between Serbia and Montenegro in the tumultuous period between 1988 and 2020. Utilising both primary and secondary sources, many previously unpublished in English, this book provides a detailed examination of the bilateral relationship between Serbia and Montenegro over the last two decades and explores the historical, political and social dynamics that underpin it - covering in-depth the key historical events for the two states in the process. considers the role of the pivotal figures that have dominated the politics of the two countries since the fall of Slobodan Milosevic, including Milo Djukanovic, Vojislav Kostunica, Zoran Djindjic, Boris Tadic and Aleksander Vucic. At the same time, it offers a broader overview of the internal political developments in both countries, their interactions and the forging of their own distinct, and ultimately divergent, foreign policies. Kenneth Morrison and Vesko Garcevic also explore the dealings that Serbia and Montenegro have had and continue to have with numerous global actors, such as the EU, the US, China, Russia and Turkey, thereby making this a highly relevant study for those interested in global power politics, as well as contemporary political dynamics in the Western Balkans.>
