| description | This chapter analyzes the impact of Europeanization on the Serbia-Montenegro relationship. The EU framework through the prospect of future membership and the EU active mediation through conditionality and socialization converged to put in place a precarious common state structure with the signing of the Belgrade Agreement in March 2002. The State Union of Serbia and Montenegro is a hybrid institutional model combining federal features and confederal elements. It has failed to generate consensual political support in either of the republics. Its viability has been questioned by political formations in both Serbia and Montenegro while pro-independence forces have been strengthened after the creation of the common state. The future of the State Union depends critically on the capacity and willingness of the EU to supervise the implementation of the Belgrade Agreement and arbitrate the disagreements between the two republics on issues related to their joint EU membership bid. |
