The agreement was reached in 2001, after the end of

Federal Republic of Yugoslavia – today Serbia).[2] It entered into force on 2 June 2004 when the last successor state (Croatia)[3] ratified it.[2] Contrary to some other cases in which only one country would act as a sole legal successor state (for example Russia in case of the former Soviet Union
), multiple new states participated in state succession of SFR Yugoslavia with neither one of them therefore continuing in full international legal personality of the previous state or inheriting automatically memberships in multilateral institutions or treaties.
