Federal Republic of Serbia

After the Dayton Agreement, and with nothing else to stand to gain by claiming to be the successor state of the SFRY, Milosevic renames the FR of Yugoslavia to Federal Republic of Serbia.

This action is meant to choke a possible rise of Montenegro separatism by further promoting the idea that Montenegrin identity is but a subset of the Serb identity.

Why isn't this OTL? What did Slobo stand to lose in pushing this?

Montenegro. They would not have stayed as part of a greater Serbia IMO. They may be very close to the Serbs, but to tell them they are not Montenegrins but Serbs would have led to them leaving the union.
