Serbian Sociologist: We have changed since 1991, nationalism is already growing

So today, in my opinion, nationalism is in terminal phase. The nationalism demonstration is growing more and more institutionally and the people who oppose it are leaving this country, new generations are growing on myths and legends, and the situation gets worse”, Perovovic said in interview for the Novi Sad portal, “Vicice”.

According to him, the ideology that led to the wars of the '90s is still in power.

We haven't moved yet since 1991. Today, we are even worse in many ways. At that time, there was at least one greater resistance to that ideology within society than there was today. Today, this resistance has been reduced to completely marginal groups of individuals. It's not a problem on the street, it's a problem in institutions, schools, media and academic circles”, said Perovic, N1.

Serbian Sociologist mentioned that youth nationalism is being imposed through the educational system and the consequences of introducing religious teaching in schools have only begun to be observed.

Young people choose conservativeism because it is presented as something desirable. What is especially interesting is that over the past decade, the country was declarically in favour of European integration, but essentially did everything against it”, Perovovic said.

He also said that the Church's role has become dangerous and that it will increase.

The political government still has power over the Church, regardless of all its power, but I fear that in the future this will be no longer the case, but that it will be like what happened in Montenegro that the church will be the main bearer of political power. In my opinion, this is the lowest level Serbian society can achieve, said Perovic.
