Summary/Abstract: This paper explores Branko Horvat’s perspectives on the Kosovo issue as discussed in the Serbian press during the late 1980s. In 1987, Branko Horvat, a prominent Yugoslav economist and political activist, advocated for a dialogue within the Yugoslav public to address the Kosovo crisis. Horvat’s views on the Kosovo issue were at odds with the revived nationalism and proposed strategies for resolving the crisis advanced by the Serbian political elite led by Slosbodan Milošević. Through an analysis of pertinent Serbian dailies and serial publications, this study aims to elucidate the reception of Horvat’s views within both the Serbian and broader Yugoslav communities. By examining key themes and identifying predominant social factions that responded to Branko Horvat’s ideas, this paper seeks to provide insights into the societal dynamics surrounding the Kosovo issue during this pivotal period.
