TheFederal Republic of Yugoslavia was a union betweenSerbia andMontenegro which had existed between 1992 and 2003. It was reconstituted as theState Union of Serbia and Montenegro in 2003. In 2006, thestate broke up into the two independent states ofSerbia andMontenegro.
Elections on a federal level were regularly held to elect the President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia as well as the Federal Assembly of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
TheAssembly of Serbia and Montenegro (Skupština Srbije i Crne Gore) had 126 members who served four-year terms, 91 from Serbia and 35 from Montenegro.
The first parliament was chosen in February 1993 by the members of the parliament of the formerFederal Republic of Yugoslavia, and the members of the parliaments of Serbia and of Montenegro. The seats were divided up among political parties in proportion to the number of their seats in these two parliaments, so that each time one of the parliaments was re-elected, the composition of the federal parliament changed. The president of Serbia and Montenegro was elected by the parliament.
It was intended that direct elections for the Assembly of Serbia and Montenegro would be held in 2007, but the break-up of the state ended this possibility.
