Summary/Abstract: The movie “Dagger” filmed in 1999 is one of the most popular Serbian movies in the post-war period. The movie narrates the story of baby Iliya Yugovic who happened to be kidnaped by the Muslims ustasa in the night of the Christmas massacre in year 1941 and was raised as Ali Osmanovic. The main notion of the movie is that all the Muslims are Orthodox Christians who accepted Islam for personal material gain. To what extent the movie is significant for Serbian national interest is evident from the fact that it is presented every year on the Christmas Eve by all the private and public broadcasters in Republic of Srpska and in Serbia.
