Serbia and Montenegro Heading For Divorce

Montenegro is voting on May 21 to decide whether it wants to remain a part of Serbia – Montenegro or become an independent country. If Montenegro splits from Serbia, it effectively means Serbia – Montenegro will not being playing for a country during the World Cup. An antenuptial agreement is in the works though that will allow Serbia – Montenegro to compete as Serbia – Montenegro at the World Cup and perhaps until 2008, because the Euro 2008 qualifying schedules have already been set and would have to be reorganized to accomodate a new country. And that would tick some people off like the English FA, because of the already overloaded European club football calendar.

Montenegro was an independent kingdom before it became a part of Yugoslavia.
