That senior national team was originally named either "Yugoslavia national basketball team", or "FR Yugoslavia national basketball team", from 1992 until 2003, after the country's name at the time. In 2003, after the country was renamed from FR Yugoslavia to Serbia and Montenegro, the team was also renamed to "Serbia and Montenegro national basketball team". After Serbia and Montenegro split up, in 2006, and became the independent countries of
Serbia and

Serbian national basketball team's first appearance at a major

2007 EuroBasket. While the senior
Montenegrin national basketball team's first appearance at a major FIBA event was at the
2011 EuroBasket.
