“Symphonia”? A New Patriarch Attempts to Redefine Church–State Relations in Serbia
The authors examine the relationship between Church and state in Serbia since the election of the new patriarch in February 2021. They demonstrate the ways in which Church and state have begun to take divergent paths. This is not to suggest that political and ecclesiastical power are not deeply entwined in contemporary Serbia—they are. However, the authors show how—contrary to accounts which present Church and state as practically homologous—cler…
Orthodoxy in Serbia
This article characterises and contrasts the most visible changes in the Serbian Church’s public role with less visible and analysed trends among its believers. A very tight intertwining of the religious and the political elevated the Serbian Church’s institutional position, secured an unprecedented construction boom, and even influenced some devotional practices of the faithful, especially through victimhood-oriented collective identity building…
Questioning Western Approaches to Religion in the Former Yugoslavia
The paper examines to what extent the policies of the United States and West European countries and international organisations affect ethno-confessional segmentation, political attitudes of religious leaders and institutions and contribute to the goal of stabilisation and peaceful reintegration of the successor states of former Yugoslavia to Europe and the wider world, which most of them purport to achieve. It does so by three-tier level analysi…

Metropolie (Patriarchat) von Karlowitz
One hundred years of Yugoslavia
This article examines a text written 100 years ago by Stojan Novaković, a leading Serbian scholar and president of its Academy of Science. Written in a political science fiction genre, it foresees a country of united South Slavs in 2011. Yugoslavia, in the enlightened vision of Novaković, will appear and strengthen due to scientific and economic development on one hand and common culture based on a common vernacular on the other. Elite-driven uni…
The New Role of the Orthodox Church in Serbia
After Slobodan Miloevi was ousted from power, one of the first steps of the new democratic government of Prime Minister Zoran ini was to introduce religious education in state schools. Although only one and eventually the least successful part of ini's political strategy, allying with the Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC) became a steady component of political rule in Serbia. While not a novelty in the Balkans or Eastern Europe, in Serbia the allianc…
Perceptions of Islamization in the Serbian national discourse
Before the period of nationalism, religious identification constituted a basis for the division of South Slavic peoples and its confines established historic borders within which particular national consciousness developed. Though none of the confessional institutions of South Slavs was strictly national, they acquired such a character through the constant struggle of religious leaderships to differentiate their flock from that of the other faith…
