The Basketball Federation of Serbia and Montenegro (Serbian: Košarkaški savez Srbije i Crne Gore / Кошаркашки савез Србије и Црне Горе;), previously Basketball Federation of Yugoslavia, was a non-profit organization and the national sports governing body for basketball in Serbia and Montenegro. Federal Republic of Yugoslavia renamed to Serbia and Montenegro in 2003. Until 2006, the organization has represented Serbia and Montenegro in FIBA and the men's and women's national basketball teams in the Olympic Committee of Serbia and Montenegro.
After the dissolution of Serbia and Montenegro in 2006, the successor countries all set up their national federations.
History
[edit]Following the breakup of Yugoslavia, Basketball Federation of Yugoslavia was disbanded and five new federations (of former Yugoslavia states) were established in 1991 and 1992. In 1992, the Basketball Federation of FR Yugoslavia was established and became the governing body in FR Yugoslavia.
From 1992 to 2003, the national team played under name of FR Yugoslavia and from 2003 to 2006 under name of Serbia and Montenegro in international competitions. Following the Montenegrin declaration of independence in 2006, the Basketball Federation of Montenegro was established and joined FIBA, while Basketball Federation of Serbia retained the place of Basketball Federation of Serbia and Montenegro as a FIBA member.[1]
Also, the Basketball Federation of Kosovo, the governing body in disputed territory of Kosovo, joined FIBA on 13 March 2015 following the adoption of Brussels Agreement.[2]
