Note that the Yugoslavia of the communist era dissolved in the early 1990s. Whereas clubs from all six constituent Republics had still participated in the 1990/91 league structure, by the start of the 1992/93 season, only two of these (Serbia and Montenegro) had remained. The departure of the Croatian clubs in 1991 effectively reduced the league to one dominated by Serbian clubs, although the country did not officially change name to Serbia and Montenegro until more than a decade later. Shortly after (in 2006), Montenegro opted out of the federation as well.

Notes
[1] This was a championship between representations of the 6 republics,
the Yugoslav Army, and a representation of the autonomous province
Vojvodina.
[2] The Yugoslav FA decided that the last round of fixtures had to be
replayed, after accusations that certain results had been fixed.
Partizan, who had won the title with a 4-0 over Zeljeznicar Sarajevo,
refused, after which the game was awarded 3-0 to Zeljeznicar, which
gave Crvena zvezda the title. Crvena zvezda played in the 1986/87
European Champions Cup. However, after a sequence of legal processes,
the original final table, with Partizan as champions, was officially
recognized, in 1987.
[3] Ten clubs had started the 1986/87 season with a deduction of 6 points,
among them Partizan and Crvena zvezda, because of the events in the
previous season. Vardar Skopje, who had not been deducted 6 points, won
the title, and participated in the 1987/88 Champions Cup, but the points
deduction was later annulled after more legal proceedings, and the title
was given to Partizan, who headed the table with the deduction.

Notes
[4] Before the start of the season, the Croatian clubs (Dinamo Zagreb, later
renamed to Gradjanski (they meanwhile reverted to Dinamo after having
been known as Croatia for a while as well), Hajduk Split, NK Osijek,
NK Rijeka, and NK Zagreb) and Olimpija Ljubljana (Slovenia) withdrew and
started to play in the 1991/92 championship of Croatia and Slovenia.
During the season, the clubs from Bosnia-Hercegovina were not able to
continue playing; this concerned FK Sarajevo, Sloboda Tuzla, Velez Mostar
and Zeljeznicar Sarajevo; Borac Banja Luka finished the season and were
relocated to Beograd in 1992/93. After the season, Vardar Skopje and
Pelister Bitola withdrew to play in the championship of Macedonia.
[5] Season interrupted on May 12 due to the NATO attack on Yugoslavia, when
there were 10 more rounds left to play; Partizan were declared champions
on Jun 13, 1999.
