The UN Statistics Division has assigned new 3-digit numeric M.49 code<br>elements for Serbia (688) and for Montenegro (499), and has listed the<br>previously assigned code element for Serbia and Montenegro (891) under<br>
the heading "Codes not in current use."<br><br>References:<br><a href="http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49alpha.htm">http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49alpha.htm</a><br><a href="http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49chang.htm">

<br>there is no conflict.<br><br>However, since it is widely expected that ISO 3166/MA will soon assign<br>new alpha-2 (and alpha-3) code elements for these two countries,<br>corresponding to these UN code elements, I suggest we do NOT rush to
<br>adopt the UN codes, but rather wait for the ISO codes to be announced.<br><br>--<br>Doug Ewell<br>Fullerton, California, USA<br><a href="http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/">http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/</a><br><br>
