When Yugoslavia was reformed after [[World War II in Yugoslavia|World War II]], Montenegro became a republic alongside a Serbian entity reduced in size. When in 1991 and 1992, the remaining outstanding Yugoslav republics voted for independence, Montenegro chose to continue a federation with Serbia as [[FR Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]] ("Serbia and Montenegro" after 2003). After 1996, Montenegro – led by rebel and former pro-unionist [[Milo Đukanović]] – reversed its direction and began taking measures to distance itself internally from Serbia and discontinue its role within the federation. This sentiment, which grew popular among the Montenegrin nation, led to the [[2006 Montenegrin independence referendum]] which ended in a narrow passing of approvement of independence (55.5%, with threshold at 55%). |

Serbian–Montenegrin unionism (Serbian: Српско-црногорски унионизам, romanized: Srpsko-crnogorski unionizam) is a political ideology which arose after the break up of former Yugoslavia.[1] It advocates Montenegro being in a political union with Serbia and opposes Montenegrin independence.[1] The relationship between Serbs and Montenegrins is generally identified as being the most amicable of all the peoples of the former Yugoslavia. [2]
Friendship between the states of Montenegro and Serbia is long-standing. In 19th century, Montenegro and Serbia were officially recognized as independent by the Turkey. The two entities since shared all essential experiences; they fought as part of the Balkan League when it came to removing the Turkey from Rumelia during the First Balkan War, and they fought alongside each other against Austria-Hungary and Germany during World War I. Plans for "Serb unification", having predated the independence of the countries, were finally partially implemented after the war. The Podgorica Assembly (November 1918) concluded the decision to merge the Montenegro with the Serbia, followed by the creation of Yugoslavia. The Montenegrin monarchy was thereby removed, and opposition to the annexation culminated in the Christmas Uprising (1919) in which a smaller part the Montenegrin population demonstrated against the Serbian takeover.
When Yugoslavia was reformed after World War II, Montenegro became a republic alongside a Serbian entity reduced in size.
