The First League of Serbia and Montenegro (Serbian: Прва лига Србије и Црне Горе / Prva liga Srbije i Crne Gore) was the top football league of Serbia and Montenegro, before the country's dissolution in 2006.
From 1996–97, the system of replacing teams in each group mid-season was scrapped and was only applied at the end of the season.
For instance, in 1992 there was no inaugural season, all that happened was that clubs from the republics that proclaimed independence left the league, and their places were replaced by teams from Serbia and Montenegro which were next in line.
The same FA was running the Yugoslavia national team that qualified for the 1992 UEFA European Championship, however, with the start of the Yugoslav Wars and the responsibility put only on Serbia and Montenegro, it is this two republics, which formed the FR Yugoslavia, that suffered the economic sanctions that banned both national team and clubs, from participating in international competitions.
Some clubs such as FK Borac Banja Luka showed solidarity by staying within Yugoslav league system, despite being part of a territory belonging to a republic that declared independence, and got it recognized.
