Why did Serbia allow Montenegro to become independent?

One of the fundamental reasons why Serbia allowed Montenegro to become independent is that Montenegro is an independent country in history and it is a neighbor of Serbia. Montenegro has a high economy. If they are allowed to be independent, they will also bring some benefits to themselves.

Montenegro sounds very un-European, but it is a real European country. Located in the southwest of Balkan Peninsula, bordering Adriatic Sea in the west, with an area of only 1.38 million square kilometers, slightly smaller than Beijing.

The name Montenegro comes from Italians, and was originally called Lovchenko Mountain by Italian Venetian businessmen. Because the mountain is densely forested and looks black from a distance, it is commonly known as Montenegro, and later it gradually became the name of this area.

The earliest indigenous people in Montenegro were Illyrians, who often clashed with the ancient Greeks. The two sides fought for hundreds of years and were finally wiped out by the Roman Empire.

After the decline of the Roman Empire, ostrogoths took control of the region instead of the Romans. By the 6th century AD, Slavs began to enter the Balkans on a large scale. They gradually assimilated the local Illyrians and Goths and formed the Yugoslav nation.

/kloc-in the 20th century, a Serbian branch of Yugoslavia established its own country for the first time. During the Nemanya dynasty, many vassal states appeared in Serbia, one of which was Zeta, the predecessor of Montenegro.

Serbia has been at war with the Eastern Roman Empire and Bulgaria since its independence until the rise of the Ottoman Empire, when all three were stewed and Serbia perished.

However, Turkey did not conquer Serbia. Zeta had to rely on the danger of terrain to defeat the Turkish army many times, forcing the Turks to give up the idea of direct rule and agree to local autonomy.

15 16 Zeta locals established the principality of Montenegro with Chetingjie as the center, surrendered to the Ottoman Empire in name, actually maintained independence, and the Montenegrin nation began to form.

From the early history of Montenegro, we can see that Montenegrins were originally Serbs, a group of Serbs who were not conquered by Turks. It is precisely because of the same blood relationship, history and cultural relationship that Serbs have always regarded Montenegro as a brother.

Serbia got rid of the rule of Turkey in the19th century, and Serbia has been trying to annex Montenegro ever since.

After World War I, Serbia, Slovenia and Croatia formed the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and Montenegro was also included.

During World War II, Montenegro became independent briefly and became a vassal state of Italy. However, after the war, Montenegro was merged into the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and was one of the six countries that joined the Republic of * * *.

In the 1990s, the countries of Yugoslavia became independent one after another, with the exception of Serbia and Montenegro, forming a new "Yugoslavia".

1996, the government of djukanovic, Montenegro, announced that it would sever relations with Serbia where Milosevic was in power. Since then, Montenegro has formulated its own economic policy and changed its currency to Deutsche Mark.

Due to the severance of relations with Serbia, where Milosevic was in power, Montenegro did not get too involved in the Kosovo war and maintained political and social stability.

In March 2002, Serbia and Montenegro signed an agreement in Belgrade, deciding to further expand Serbia and Montenegro's autonomy and change its name to "Serbia and Montenegro".

At this time, Montenegro completely mastered the autonomy in the fields of diplomacy, economy and military affairs, and was only a birthright away from independence.

After Belgrade signed the agreement, a new National Charter was adopted on the basis of this agreement, which clearly stipulated that any party in Serbia and Montenegro could hold an independent referendum in three years.

In July 2004, Montenegro decided on a new national flag, national day and national anthem to promote the independence process.

On May 2, 2006, Kloc-0, Montenegro held a referendum on independence, and the pro-independence faction won by a narrow margin of 55.5%. On June 3, Montenegro's parliament officially declared independence, and on June 28, Montenegro officially joined the United Nations.

Montenegro was recognized by Serbia immediately after independence, and relations between the two countries were relatively stable shortly after the establishment of diplomatic relations.

In fact, Serbia does not want to see Montenegro become independent. The loss of Montenegro has completely turned Serbia into a landlocked country with no seaport.

However, Serbia has become the independent status of Montenegro. Although there is no blood difference between the two nationalities, they have been separated for a long time. Now Montenegro is going out to live alone, and Serbia is not easy to stop it.
