Ethno–Nationalism in Montenegro, Kosovo and Serbia During the Pandemic
Ethno–Nationalism in Montenegro, Kosovo and Serbia During the Pandemic

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to investigate the ethnic nationalism during the pandemic in three specific Western Balkan countries, namely, Montenegro, Kosovo and Serbia. It addresses the question: Is ethnic nationalism increasing due to the pandemic in these three countries? We argue that ethno-national tensions in and between the countries have intensified due to the Covid-19 crisis. This paper is divided into six parts. After a short introduction we will try to examine the meaning the pandemic has for politics and nationalism. In the third part we will describe the ethnic issues existing before the pandemic outbreak. Next, we will take a close look at the government responses to the pandemic and its consequences for the society. At the end, we will present a brief summary.
