Summary/Abstract: In the last few years, in contemporary Serbian society the question of relation between identity of Serbia`s citizens and different cultural, social and political transformation processes was intensified. Particular problem that was emphasized in public discourse was connection between confessional and religious identity of Serbian Christian Orthodox population. This led to division and permanent debate between national and civil option in projecting images of desirable identity of Serbia`s citizen`s. Paper focuses at deconstructing different levels of personal and collective identities, as well as actual role that religion has in the life of society. Beside this, since that family should be observed as the main source of reproduction of cultural identity, some crucial questions about position that family has in contemporary Serbian society are raised.
