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]
