Governmental discrimination against religious minorities in the post-communist states of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, 1990–2023
This study examines patterns of governmental religious discrimination (GRD) against 182 religious minorities in 30 states and independent territories between 1990 and 2023 in the post-communist Eastern European and Central Asian (PCEECA) region using the Religion and State-Minorities round 4 (RASM4) dataset. Patterns of GRD and government religion policy in general transformed considerably during this period, following a shift from radical ideolo…
Religion and Politics in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia
The nexus between religion and politics in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH) and Croatia is inherently complex and characterized by multiple interplays among social factors, most notably religious-ethnic links. Nevertheless, the scholarly literature tends to understate the complexity of this relationship by reducing it to the religious dimension of the wars fought in former Yugoslavia in 1990s. This paper offers a more nuanced approach to the topic by …

Covenantal Pluralism in Eastern Europe? A Bleak Outlook from Serbia
This article explores the challenges and possibilities for fostering covenantal pluralism in Serbia. While there is an obvious need for nurturing and developing covenantal pluralism in both Serbia and across the Western Balkans, I identify three distinct, and yet interconnected, challenges to achieving this goal: the historical context, the current legal framework for religion in Serbia, and the transnational nature of the dominant religious acto…
Rational Silence: Explaining the Serbian Orthodox Church’s Response to Protests in Serbia (2016–2025)
Historically, religious institutions have played a pivotal role in popular protests across the globe, and the dominant religious actor in Serbia, namely the Serbian Orthodox Church, is no different. Nevertheless, the Serbian Orthodox Church has been intriguingly silent when it comes to the waves of popular protests against the authoritarian regime in Serbia since 2016. In this study, we employ the rational choice theory approach and suggest that …

Religion and Forced Displacement in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia argues that when states do not act as prov…
Democratization in Christian Orthodox Europe: Comparing Greece, Serbia and Russia

This book challenges this incompatibility thesis, offering an innovative and fresh theoretical framework for dealing with the issue of Orthodoxy and democracy. This book focuses on the political behaviour of Orthodox Christian Churches in the democratization processes from a comparative perspective, and shows that different Orthodox …
Render unto Caesar: Explaining Political Dimension of the Autocephaly Demands in Ukraine and Montenegro
Presently, there are several autocephaly demands within Orthodox Christianity. These demands are most apparent in eastern European countries such as Ukraine, Montenegro, Macedonia, Bulgaria, and Abkhazia. Although all autocephaly demands have significant historical backgrounds and rationales, they all share one important common characteristic – they are politically driven and lead to important political and religious consequences in their respect…
