Yugoslavia goes on

This petition was published by Allan Smith on Mar 18, 2002

Some politicians decided to change the name of our state, Yugoslavia, into Serbia and Montenegro. We don't accept it for several reasons: it would be very costly, unpractical, time and money consuming; the name is too long; Yugoslavia has a symbolic value for its people; the period in which it is going to be used is too short; it is not democratic not to consult voters on such an important issue.

Therefore we, the undersigned, ask the Yugoslav government, the government of Montenegro, the government of Serbia, the parliaments of those republics and the interested parties in the European Union and UN to alter the decision of the change of the name "Yugoslavia"; in the Agreement about the common country of Serbia and Montenegro, signed in Barcelona on 14. March 2002.

It is possible to put a title "Union of Serbia and Montenegro" in front of Yugoslavia, instead of "Federal Republic" as it stands now. Serbian and Montenegrin Union Yugoslavia is all right.
