I know what you mean Andrei, but it's a double-edged sword.
In order for Serbia to be put on the list as a new one (as opposed to what
I think is going to happen, that it remains on the list as the logical
successor, for DXCC purposes, to the entity formerly known as Serbia
Montenegro, nee Yugoslavia), that would mean that the existing entity (SM)
would be completely removed from the list.
Not moved to the deleted list as happened in the past, but gone
altogether.
This is the one big mistake that, IMHO, I think was made in the last major
update/rewrite of the DXCC rules (aka DXCC 2000). At least when an entity
was moved from the active to the deleted list, your cards (for DXCC and
other awards purposes) still had some value. Now, when the entity is gone,
the cards become worthless (again, for awards purposes... they are still a
valued part of my QSL collection regardless of whether or not they count,
but that's another story)
Regardless, I look forward to working the amateurs in Serbia again in about
a month, when (if all continues to go well) I'll be back in a QTH of my own
and get finally get my verticals out of W3WH's garage and back in the sky!

Just an FYI from the day's news:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060603/ap_on_re_eu/montenegro_independence
PODGORICA, Serbia-Montenegro - Montenegro's parliament declared
independence for the tiny Balkan republic Saturday, forming a new European
state and dissolving what was left of the former Yugoslavia.
The assembly adopted a declaration of independence, verifying the
results of a May 21 referendum in which Montenegrins supported a split from
Serbia by a slim margin. The document envisages Montenegro as a
multiethnic, multicultural and multireligious society ... based on the rule
of law and market economy.
After the assembly meeting, authorities raised a red-and-gold
Montenegrin flag over the parliament building and played the ancient
Montenegrin anthem Oh, The Bright May Dawn as fireworks exploded in
the sky.
The declaration says Montenegro's strategic national goal is
integration into the European Union and NATO, and the new country will
immediately apply for admission into the United Nations and other
international organizations.
(Once admitted, this will fulfill DXCC entry criteria item 1A , so get
those amps fired up and those databases edited! Luckily, this will be an
easy All-Time New One :-)). Wonder what the new prefix(es) will be?
Cheers,
Peter,
