Summary/Abstract: Within the scope of “Vukovi Sabori” manifestations held in the period from 1987 until 2005 we retraced both relationship of political and cultural elite towards personality of Vuk Karadzic and towards another important symbolical potentials of Serbian society. From the perspective of two discourses, nationalistic and European, we analyzed a relation towards national values and symbols that has varied according topical Serbian political direction. Within the auspice of Sabor as a cultural event (although mainly cultural and educative motives of this manifestation were frequently neglected) in seemingly apolitical atmosphere, strictly political messages were popularized and many opportunities for establishing political legitimacy were created.
