Editing Hey, Slavs (section)

==Serbia and Montenegro==
After the break-up of Yugoslavia in 1991 and 1992, when only [[Republic of Serbia (1992–2006)|Serbia]] and [[Republic of Montenegro (1992–2006)|Montenegro]] remained in the federation, "Hey, Slavs" continued to be used, as the national anthem of the [[Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]] (FRY). [[Slobodan Milošević]] wanted to adopt “Hey, Slavs” as the Serbian anthem, but the Main Board of the [[Socialist Party of Serbia]] overruled it, feeling that it was inappropriate to reuse it after having assigned it to Yugoslavia, thus they assigned Serbia “[[March on the Drina]]” instead.<ref>{{cite hansard |jurisdiction=International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia|title=041116IT|url=https://www.icty.org/x/cases/slobodan_milosevic/trans/en/041116IT.htm|house=The Hague|date=November 16, 2004|page=33469|speaker=Mihailo Marković|position=witness}}</ref> The FRY was renamed to the [[Serbia and Montenegro|State Union of Serbia and Montenegro]] in 2003 and was expected to adopt a new national anthem, but since no agreement over state symbols could be reached, "Hey, Slavs" remained the national anthem of the state. Many Serbs disliked the song during this period and booed it whenever it was played, such as at sporting events and football games.<ref name=ESPN>{{cite web|url=http://www.espn.com/espn/wire/_/section/soccer/id/2485949|title=Serbia-Montenegro a World Cup team without a country|publisher=Associated Press|date=15 June 2006|access-date=15 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180616030741/http://www.espn.com/espn/wire/_/section/soccer/id/2485949|archive-date=16 June 2018|agency=Associated Press|url-status=live}}</ref>

A hybrid of the [[Republic of Montenegro (1992–2006)|Montenegrin]] folk song (now national anthem) "[[Oj, svijetla majska zoro]]" with the former (now current) Serbian national anthem, "[[Bože Pravde]]" in alternating verses was proposed (similarly to [[Czechoslovakia]], whose anthem consisted of the Czech part "[[Kde domov můj]]" and the Slovak part "[[Nad Tatrou sa blýska]]"). However, this attempt was struck down after objections by the [[People's Party of Montenegro]] and the [[Socialist People's Party of Montenegro]]. Also proposed was the former Montenegrin national anthem and patriotic song "[[Onamo, 'namo]]", however this also fell through and "Hey, Slavs" remained the national anthem. Since Montenegro and Serbia dissolved their union and split to become sovereign states in 2006, this issue is moot, as "Hey, Slavs" is no longer used as an official national anthem by any sovereign state. In a way, "Hey, Slavs" ended up outliving the countries that used it, as the last instance of it being officially played as part of an event was at the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuxVc3w9mMQ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/TuxVc3w9mMQ| archive-date=2021-12-11 |url-status=live|title=national anthem serbia & montenegro - netherlands 2006 himna srbija i crna gora nizozemska 2006|last=LEO al grito de gol 2012|date=5 June 2017 |via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0qQIRrDhsk |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/C0qQIRrDhsk| archive-date=2021-12-11 |url-status=live|title=anthem serbia and montenegro world cup 2006 vs ivory coast|last=LEO RENMEN TV|date=23 May 2018 |via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref> where the [[Serbia and Montenegro national football team]] participated despite the country they were playing for no longer existing (having disbanded a few days before the tournament began).<ref name=ESPN/>

Even after the end of the federation, "Hey, Slavs" was sometimes still mistakenly played by organizers of sports events that involve [[Sport in Serbia|Serbian teams]] as a guest side. Notable performances, some of which were intentional, include the [[2013 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship#Semifinals|2013 UEFA U-19 Championship]] semi-final football match between [[Serbia national under-19 football team|Serbia]] and [[Portugal national under-19 football team|Portugal]] as well as the [[Olympiacos B.C.|Olympiacos]]–[[KK Partizan|Partizan]] [[Euroleague 2009–10 Regular Season Group B#Game 10|ULEB Champions league basketball game in 2010]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kurir-info.rs/bruka-na-ep-orlici-slusali-hej-sloveni-umesto-boze-pravde-clanak-914103|title=BRUKA NA EP: Orlići slušali Hej Sloveni umesto Bože pravde!|access-date=2013-07-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130731193049/http://www.kurir-info.rs/bruka-na-ep-orlici-slusali-hej-sloveni-umesto-boze-pravde-clanak-914103|archive-date=2013-07-31|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.pressonline.rs/sport/ostali-sportovi/96327/grci-namerno-pustili-himnu-hej-sloveni.html|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140305201758/http://www.pressonline.rs/sport/ostali-sportovi/96327/grci-namerno-pustili-himnu-hej-sloveni.html|url-status=dead|title='Grci namerno pustili himnu "Hej, Sloveni"?'|archivedate=March 5, 2014}}</ref> In 2015, French organizers of [[2015 European Touring Car Cup season]] erroneously played "Hey, Slavs" when Serbian racing driver [[Dušan Borković]] won 1st place at [[Circuit Paul Ricard]].<ref>{{cite web|title=USPEH BORKOVIĆA U SENCI SKANDALA: Srpskom automobilisti na podijumu pustili Hej Sloveni|url=http://www.kurir.rs/sport/ostali-sportovi/video-uspeh-borkovica-u-senci-skandala-srpskom-automobilisti-na-podijumu-pustili-hej-sloveni-clanak-1836853|publisher=Kurir|access-date=29 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150630191447/http://www.kurir.rs/sport/ostali-sportovi/video-uspeh-borkovica-u-senci-skandala-srpskom-automobilisti-na-podijumu-pustili-hej-sloveni-clanak-1836853|archive-date=30 June 2015|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref>
