Declaration on Relations with the Republic of Serbia after gaining Independence
The Parliament of Serbia and Montenegro (Скупштина Србије и Црне Горе/Skupština Srbije i Crne Gore) was the national assembly of Serbia and Montenegro.
Prior to its use for the Parliament of Serbia and Montenegro, it served as the seat of parliament for Yugoslavia.
The Assembly of Serbia and Montenegro's authority was granted by the ConstitutionalCharter of Serbia and Montenegro, and its jurisdiction was limited.
The constitutions of the member-republics too, particularly the 1990 Constitution of Serbia and partly the 1992 Constitution of Montenegro, were never in agreement with the federal Constitution, as well as several of the acts of the member-republics and the federation, which only fills up the picture of the situation concerning the rule of law.
Serbia and Montenegro is a member of the world and regional organisations, has the right to establishing of international relations with other states and international organisations and to make international treaties and agreements.
ConstitutionalCharter is the supreme legal act of the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro, and it may not be maintained that it was drafted in haste.
