After the breakup of Yugoslavia, the club earned promotion to the newly formed Serbian League Vojvodina in 1995.{{Cite web | url=http://www.fsgzrenjanin.com/Period%201991-2000.html | title=RAT, RASPAD SFR JUGOSLAVIJE, SANKCIJE | language=sr | publisher=fsgzrenjanin.com | access-date=7 November 2021}} They spent two seasons in the third tier, finishing as champions in 1996–97 to earn promotion to the Second League of FR Yugoslavia.

In 2006, the club earned promotion to the newly formed Serbian SuperLiga.
