Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses a legally and politically complex question whether the Hague Conventions in the field of international private law are valid in the law of FR Yugoslavia after the cessation of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1992, which was a member of those Conventions. The complexity of that question resulted from the fact that FR Yugoslavia aspired to extend the continuity of SFRY, while some member states the Hague Conventions deemed that pretension ungrounded, because of which Yugoslavia may be only one of the successor states of that state. The consequence of that contradicting legal opinions was that the state organs of FR Yugoslavia thought that the subject conventions were still valid for her, while the states that did not get along with that refused to recognize that state as the member of the subject Conventions.
