Yugoslavia now History

Montenegro votes 55+% to separate from Serbia, ending the last vestiges of the former Yugoslavia, although the 2 areas haven't used that name since 2003. The tiny new nation (pop. 650,000) was last independent in 1918 before joining Yugoslavia after WW1. Interestingly enough, I was not aware that Slovenia is the only former Yugoslav republic admitted to the EU -- I thought that Croatia had also been admitted.
