Yugoslavia made itsParalympic Games début at the1972 Summer Paralympics inHeidelberg. It did not compete at the 1976 Summer Games, but did take part in theinaugural Winter Paralympics that year inÖrnsköldsvik. In 1980, 1984 and 1988, it took part in both the Summer and Winter Games.[1]
Following thebreakup of Yugoslavia, the proclamation of theFederal Republic of Yugoslavia as asuccessor state unitingSerbia andMontenegro was not immediately recognised by theInternational Paralympic Committee. In accordance withUnited Nations Security Council Resolution 757, Yugoslavia was barred from competing at the1992 Summer Games as a national delegation. Yugoslav athletes competed, instead, asIndependent Paralympic Participants. Yugoslavia was subsequently recognised once more, and returned to compete at the1996 Summer Games. Absent from the 1998 Winter Games, it made itsfinal appearance under the name "Yugoslavia" at the2000 Summer Paralympics, before competing asSerbia and Montenegro at the2004 Summer Games. The 2006 split in the union led toSerbia andMontenegro competing separately from then on.[1]Kosovo made its Paralympic debut at theParalympics in Paris 2024.[2]
Although Yugoslavia never hosted the Paralympic Games, it did organise the firstdisabled skiing competition as an Olympic demonstration event when it hosted the1984 Winter Olympics inSarajevo.
Yugoslav athletes won a total of 76 medals at the Paralympics, of which 75 at the Summer Games. 21 of these were gold medals (all at the Summer Games).[1]
