After [[World War II in Yugoslavia|World War II and the civil war]] Yugoslavia became a [[communist state]] known as the [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]], ruled by [[Josip Broz Tito]] and the [[League of Communists of Yugoslavia]]. After [[Death and state funeral of Josip Broz Tito|Tito's death]] in 1980, the federation started [[Breakup of Yugoslavia|a process of dissolution]] which finished in [[Yugoslav Wars|a series of civil wars]] in the early 1990s. Through the 1990s, constituent republics [[Republic of Serbia (1992–2006)|Serbia]] and [[Republic of Montenegro (1992–2006)|Montenegro]] comprised the [[Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]], which was restructured in 2003 into a confederation called [[Serbia and Montenegro]]. The state union ended with [[Montenegro]]'s separation following the [[Montenegrin independence referendum, 2006|2006 independence referendum]]. Currently [[Serbia]] is a [[parliamentary republic]]. There was no referendum of restoration of [[parliamentary monarchy]], although political organizations and a certain public in favor of it do exist.
