I suggest another name for this article: 'Yugoslavia and the European Union'. I can see that perhaps most of the, still small, article now refers to the period when EU was not yet formed, but politically EU is usually seen as continuation/expansion of the older EEC. Presently, there's a lot of negotiating etc. going on, about possible entrance of more former Yugoslav states to the EU (see for example Accession of Serbia to the European Union). --Corriebertus (talk) 16:48, 5 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
The whole article is about events up to 1991 and the EU was formed in 1993, so the current title is accurate. A better step would be to remove the final paragraph of the lead and all mention of post-Yugoslavia states (except for in the See also section), thereby keeping the whole article contents germane.

Your arguments seem not all correct: not all of the article is about events up to 1991, the final paragraph of the lead is about 2004-2016 (etc.). Apparently, the founder of the article (MirkoS18), who wrote that paragraph, considered such facts relevant for Wikipedia, and considered this article the best place to put them. It seems to me not a constructive approach of Wikipedia--rather the opposite--to delete such (relevant) information from Wikipedia, just because someone (Mirko?) may have chosen a sub-optimal title for this article. --Corriebertus (talk) 17:25, 7 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
According to the Yugoslavia article, the country ceased to exist in 1992, which was before the EU was created. Based on that, the article title is correct and the final lead paragraph is in the wrong article. EddieHugh (talk) 19:36, 7 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
The primary intention was to provide interested reader with historical perspective of significant engagement of the region of former Yugoslavia with the predecessor of modern day EU. To show that cooperation is not a completely new phenomenon which developed only after the end of Yugoslav Wars but rather that those wars presented rupture. In this respect it is closely related to modern day developments in legal successor states and last paragraph is making this bridge by leading a reader to contemporary times. Local scholarship and popular media articles do make this bridge and compare current developments with Yugoslav period. Yet this article shall primarily be focused on Yugoslavia and EEC and only mention latter developments.--MirkoS18 (talk) 18:26, 2 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
