Abstract
This paper analyses the grounds, the origins and the
manifestations of the ethnic conflict in the area of former
Yugoslavia on the basis of the current psychological thought.
Deriving from Allport' s "theory of prejudice", we outline the
historic grounds, the sociocultural diversity and the specific character
of the particular social and political situation.
Trying to find an answer to the crucial question: What is to be
done?, we make the distinction between the four stages of conflict:
latency, manifestation, actualization and consolidation, as well as the
three lines of action: institutional solutions, influence of the mass
media and the process of political socialization.
