The Prime Minister of Serbia and Montenegro was a very important leader. This person was the head of government for the country called Serbia and Montenegro. This role existed from 1992 until the country split up in 2006.

From 1992 to 2003, the leader was called the President of the Federal Government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. After some big changes in 2003, the title became Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Serbia and Montenegro. In 2003, this job was combined with the job of the President of Serbia and Montenegro.
