BILLERBECK, Germany (AP)
When the official Serbia-Montenegro national anthem is played ahead of World Cup games, the players will not be singing and the fans will be booing.
The old "Hey Slavs!'' melody and Serbia-Montenegro's blue-white-and-red national flags that will flutter at stadiums in Germany will represent a country that has ceased to exist
Serbia-Montenegro players were just starting their tournament preparations last month when Montenegro split from Serbia in an independence referendum, the latest installment in the sometimes violent disintegration of the old six-state Yugoslav federation.
Yugoslavia last qualified for the World Cup in 1998 and, in its next incarnation as Serbia-Montenegro, the squad earned its 10th trip to soccer's biggest event. However, the trip to Germany is the first - and the last - under the name.
Only goalkeeper Dragoslav Jevric was born in tiny Adriatic republic of Montenegro, but the split may have hurt the team psychologically.
Serbia-Montenegro coach Ilija Petkovic likes to say he'll be the only coach leading two national teams at the same World Cup. But he said it's no longer a joke and urged his players not to make comments concerning the country's breakup.
"We did not need the divisions ahead of the World Cup,'' captain Savo Milosevic said. "What we need now is to be one, to be a national team that will represent national interests.''
But it's easier said than done, with many players having divided loyalties.
"I'm a Montenegrin of Serbian origin born in Bosnia,'' defender Mladen Krstajic said. "Now, it's too late for me to change.''
Krstajic said he may soon become "a world record holder'' with the number of passports he will possess - he already has Yugoslav, Bosnian and German passports, with the latter coming from playing in the Bundesliga. He said he plans to add a Montenegrin one because his father is from there.
"God forbid, but if Serbia shrinks any further with its (northern province) Vojvodina splitting away, I may be in line for another passport because I used to play there as well,'' Krstajic said.
Serbia-Montenegro players are trying to keep their spirits up. One of their favorite jokes says: "Serbia is like Nokia: each year a new model, and its getting smaller.''
Striker Mateja Kezman says that even though the union of Serbia-Montenegro no longer exists, the team will play for the people of both nations.
"We have very tough years behind us and now we want to play for our people who have had so much misery in the past,'' Kezman said.
But when the national anthem is played at the start of their World Cup opener next Sunday in Leipzig against the Netherlands, Serbia-Montenegro players may shift uneasily under the expected boos and jeers. Serbian fans detest the tunes of the old communist-era Yugoslav song.
"I wish that anthem is not played, because it takes at least 15 minutes of play for us to shake off that sinking feeling,'' Milosevic said.
During the last warmup against Uruguay in Belgrade, Serbian organizers agreed to refrain from playing the anthem because of the loud protests it regularly triggers. Serbia-Montenegro plays in Group C with Argentina, the Netherlands and Ivory Coast.
It's unlikely, but Serbia-Montenegro could become the only country in the history of the tournament that wouldn't be around to defend its title if it won.-AP
