Kosovo kao ogledalo evropskog identiteta Srba
Kosovo, the Test of the European Identity of the Serbs

Summary/Abstract: This paper is focused on the organic connection between the European identity of the Serbs and the policy of active protection of the territorial integrity of Serbia. European integrations emerged from the interests of France, Germany and other countries of EU, not as a result of emotions. The rise of the West was based on the pragmatism and striving for power, not on altruism. The Latin world identitas, from which the modern term identity was derived, means „the same“. Therefore, the real test of the European identity of the Serbs is their readiness to protect their vital national interests persistently. Every EU nation does so, even regarding the issues which ar not as important as the territorial integrity of the country. Obviously, to say “Kosovo is Serbia”, and to be ready to insist on it in the long term, also means the Serbs are Europeans in the same way as the English, the French or the Germans.
