Yugoslavia (Jugoslavija in all south Slavic languages, in Serbian and Macedonian Cyrillic Југославија) is a term used for three separate but successive political entities that existed during most of the 20th century on the Balkan Peninsula in Europe.
The third was called Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) and was formed in 1992 on the territory of the remaining republics of Serbia (including the autonomous provinces of Vojvodina and of Kosovo, officially known as Kosovo and Metohija) and Montenegro.
The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) was formed on April 28, 1992, and it consisted of the former Socialist Republics of Serbia and Montenegro.

 Democratic Processes and Ethnic Relations in Yugoslavia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
One view was that since the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was established against the wishes of an important part of its population (a reference primarily to the Albanians of Kosovo) and under conditions that rendered its establishment legally dubious, it was difficult to envision the institutionalization of political pluralism in the country.
The proponents of this position concede that the procedure of establishment of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was not democratic, but that force was not used towards this end, and that no group had a greater right than any other to comment on those procedures simply on the basis of its ethnic identity.
In democratic theory, of course, these interests should not be seen as opposed, since the protection of ethnic and political minorities and the guarantee of human rights to all should ensure the stability of the state, thus the solving the problems of the majority nation as well as of the minorities.
