Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we will show how nationalisms and nations work and exist. Through the analysis, we will determine the variations within these concepts on a theoretical and practical level. The emergence of modern nation-states managed to eliminate the negative connotation of the term nationalism. Nevertheless, on the territory of the former Yugoslavia, nationalism was manifested in the most extreme and politicized form, which caused national conflicts. Bearing this in mind, in the paper we will show the Janus face of nationalism, with a clear distinction between the old nation states that arose in Western and Central Europe and the new nation states that arose on the soil of the former socialist republics.
