*Serbia and Montenegro have asserted the formation of a joint
independent state, but this entity has not been formally recognized as
a state by the US;
the US view is that the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
(SFRY) has dissolved and that none of the successor republics
represents its continuation.
