The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FR Yugoslavia or FRY) is the Yugoslav state that existed since its foundation after the Cold War. It is a federal state and a federation made up of seven republics: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia and Kosovo. Serbia, in addition, includes one autonomous province: Vojvodina.

After initially siding with the Eastern bloc under the leadership of Josip Broz Tito at the beginning of the Cold War, Yugoslavia pursued a policy of neutrality after the Tito–Stalin split of 1948, and it became one of the founding members of the Non-Aligned Movement. After the death of Tito in 1980, rising ethnic nationalism in the late 1980s led to dissidence among the multiple ethnicities within the constituent republics, followed by the Yugoslav sucess in the nationalist rebellion. Yugoslavia today is part of the European Union.
