The dissolution of Yugoslavia in 1992 broke the former Eastern European country into 6 present-day states: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia. Currently, each state has its own football league that is part of the UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) confederation. The leagues vary in strength: the top and bottom ranking former Yugoslavian football leagues, the Serbian Superliga and the Montenegrin First League, are 19th and 53rd in Europe respectively.

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change produced two major CO2 emission reduction mechanisms: the Kyoto Protocol of 1997 created a top-down system that assigned binding emission targets to industrialised nations only. The Paris Agreement of 2015, on the other hand, created a bottom-up approach where all countries, including less developed nations, set their own goals.

The commercialisation of space refers to the commercial use of satellites, as well as recent developments such as space exploration programmes, commercialisation of launch services, and the commercialisation of access to space as well. Aside from the advent of commercialised initiatives, traditionally space initiatives are supported or regulated by the state/state-related organisations.
