Proposal to change article name

I think it would make more sense to name this article, Federal Republic of Yugoslavia' or FR Yugoslavia, instead of Serbia and Montenegro. The name Serbia and Montenegro was only used for the last three years of the country's existence, and indeed the Serbian Wikipedia version of this article uses Federal Republic of Yugoslavia as its name, and has a separate article for the brief existence of Serbia and Montenegro.

It was commonly known in English sources as "Serbia and Montenegro" during all of its existence. See the 1993 CIA World Factbook [1]. It is listed as "Serbia and Montenegro". Same in the 2000 edition. Vanjagenije (talk) 22:25, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's not the official name though. Also, NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, not NATO bombings of Serbia and Montenegro. Kurt Hartman 17:57, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia uses most common names, not official names. See WP:COMMONNAME. Vanjagenije (talk) 20:00, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
