Consider the following statements: 1. Montenegro and Serbia agreed to a new structure for the Yugoslav Federation. 2. Croatia remained under the Hungarian Administration until the end of First World War. 3. Claims to Macedonia Territory have long been a source of contention between Belgium and Greece. 4. In 1991, Slovenia declared independence from Czechoslovakia. Which of the statements given above are correct?

Statements 1 and 2 are correct. Statement 1: the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia adopted a new Constitutional Charter in 2003, transforming itself into the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro (a new structure for the Yugoslav successor state) [1]. Statement 2: Croatia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and was under Hungarian administration until the end of World War I in 1918 [2]. Statement 3 is false because claims over Macedonia involved neighboring Balkan states (Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria, Montenegro) rather than Belgium [3]. Statement 4 is false since Slovenia declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, not from Czechoslovakia [4].
