Summary/Abstract: The author criticizes a superficial and wrong understanding of the right and conservativism in post-communist Serbia. Conservativism is characterized by faith in the significance of institutions, as a corrective of weaknesses which are inscribed in the human nature. Its other characteristic is conviction in the complexity of relations that structure society, refusal of simplified ideologies and simple solutions. Its third characteristic is graduality and procedurality of changes. As for other issues – such as the open market and strong government - the conservatives can have different views. The author concludes pleading for the development of standard, European conservativism in Serbia, as a part of the spectrum of moderate political forces.
