STORYLINE
Officials raised Serbia's flag at military headquarters in Belgrade on Tuesday, marking the Balkan republic's formal takeover of armed forces previously shared with tiny Montenegro.
Just days after erstwhile partner Montenegro proclaimed independence and abandoned its alliance with much-larger Serbia, Defence Minister Zoran Stankovic oversaw the ceremony where the flag of now defunct Serbia-Montenegro union was replaced with the red, blue and white Serbian flag adorned with an ancient Serb coat-of-arms.
The new flag went up as the military brass band played "Boze Pravde" ("God of Justice") - Serbia's original, pre-Communist era anthem, now made official again.
Serbia-Montenegro was the last shred of what was once the six-republic Yugoslav federation.
The two republics stayed together when four others seceded in 1991. But a pro-independence drive then also developed in Montenegro, culminating in a referendum last month where voters in the tiny Adriatic republic opted for sovereignty.
Under a separation provision, each republic keeps military facilities in its own territory, but hundreds - possibly thousands - of soldiers and officers will be relocated.
Later on Tuesday, Stankovic was to visit Montenegro to ensure a smooth transfer of "any number of officers" who would want to move to Serbia.

I can't even bear to watch this. So much was lost that day as well in the decade before, years of slavic brothers working together in peace only to end up in war killing one another. To this day there is still conflict, conflict that will never go away. :(

Jugoslavije vise nema i to je to. Nazalost, ali zivot ide dalje. Nasa zemlja je Srbija i moramo da je volimo i postujemo. Nemojte zaboraviti da je Srbija postojala mnogo, mnogo pre Jugoslavije.

Even Montenegro gained independent, they still considered Serbia as Montenegro best friend. Unlike Slovenia and Croatia. I don't know about Bosnia and North Macedonia.
