Montenegro and Serbia

A Velvet Divorce?

This is the first comprehensive analysis of the oft-divergent paths taken by Montenegro and Serbia in the tumultuous period between the late 1980s and the present day. Utilising both primary and secondary sources, many previously unpublished in English, this book provides a detailed examination of the complex relations between Montenegro and Serbia in the Yugoslav context and their bilateral relationship since they parted ways in 2006.

Montenegro and Serbia: A Velvet Divorce? offers a broader overview of the internal political developments in both countries, their interactions and the forging of their own distinct, and ultimately divergent, domestic and foreign policies.

Kenneth Morrison and Vesko Garcevic also explore the relationships that Montenegro and Serbia have had, and continue to have, with Russia, China, the EU and NATO, making this a highly relevant study for those interested in global power politics, as well as contemporary political dynamics in the Western Balkans.
