Summary/Abstract: The text explores the crisis and complexity of identity in Serbia and Montenegro after a decade of nationalist fervor, emphasizing the need for moral, cultural, and historical clarification as prerequisites for genuine democratic progress. It critiques the misuse of identity in politics, education, and media, arguing that cultural kitsch and mythologized history have become tools for manipulating public consciousness and avoiding accountability. Ultimately, it calls for a dynamic and pluralistic understanding of identity—one that emerges through social interaction and contrasts, rather than being fixed, imposed, or ideologically instrumentalized.
