Abstract
The author points out that in post-communist countries there is a
genuine danger of post-fascism, which is identical neither with the
classical fascism nor with neofascism, but shares certain fundamental
common traits. Like in classical fascism, expansionism is particularly
dangerous in postfascism. The author shows that the project of
Greater Serbia is in the very roots of the war on the entire
territory of former Yugoslavia. Based on the tradition of Croatian
antifascism, the author claims that the response to postfascism can
only be democratic politics. Globally it means that democratic
countries cannot be morally neutral or passive towards manifestationsof postfascism. The historical experience with fascism shows thatdiplomatic means are insufficient for thwarting posrfascist projects.
