Sažetak
This analysis of the social context of minority policy in the Republic of Serbia betveen 2000 and 2016 deals with major determinants and achievements of minority policy in the transition process, including preconditions and mechanisms aimed at achieving the integrative minority policy in Serbia. The basic experience with minority policy and overall post-socialist transition in Serbia is marked by contradictions in the triangle of solidarity, social inclusion and ethnic nationalism. The dominant ethno-nationalist mobilization hinders the ability of Serbia to overcome the legacy of recent past and serious consequences of inter-ethnic conflicts, including armed conflicts, ethnic cleansing and genocide. This hinders inter-ethnic and inter-state cooperation with its neighbors, countries of the former Yugoslavia and Western Balkans. The consequences of such policy are most clearly visible in the status of “new” national minorities and in relations with Serbia’s neighbors - “kin-states” of its national minorities. Likewise, it is difficult to implement supporting policies for the Serbs in the region who perceive Serbia as their “kin-state”. Serbia should seek to respond to these challenges in attaching more importance to regional cooperation and joining the European Union (EU).
