The Federal Parliament of Yugoslavia approved a national reconstruction plan. Under this plan, greater autonomy will be granted to the two republics of Serbia and Montenegro, which remain part of the federation, and a new name will be designated for it. On Friday, both chambers of parliament unanimously voted for a proposal that had previously been approved by the parliaments of Serbia and Montenegro separately. The republics of Montenegro and Serbia, along with officials from the Federal Government of Yugoslavia, will establish a constitutional commission to draft the constitution for what will henceforth be called the Republic of Serbia and Montenegro. An initial agreement to restructure the country was made in March, with the aim of drafting a new constitution by the end of June; however, the leaders of the country now indicate that structural reforms may take longer, possibly until the end of the current year.
