Politički ekstremizam u savremenoj Srbiji
Political Extremism in Contemporary Serbia

Summary/Abstract: The author deals with ideological-political far right and far left in contemporary Serbian society. Theoretical definition of the concepts and historical evolution of the phenomena are provided in introduction. Afterwards, he analyses broader social forces and concrete political parties, which promote radical right ideology. He stresses ideological and organizational relations of the Serbian Radical Party as a main far right ideological organization in Serbia with the most distinguished promoters of a such ideology abroad, e.g. National Front led by Jean-Mari Le Pen and Liberal Democratic Party led by Vladimir Zirinovski. Besides, it is noticed that the Serbian Radical Party had close organizational relations with National Formation, an organization of Serbian skinheads that openly stresses neo-Nazi attitudes. Although relations between the two organizations are not warm for last several years, there is a possibility of improvement of mutual understanding between the two. Such a development could endanger constitutional order in Serbia. Social difficulties caused by both consequences of the disastrous politics of the Slobodan Milošević regime as well as by social transformation have made fertile ground for popularity increase of the radical right in Serbia. However, the Serbian left, moderate and radical, is compromised by the Slobodan Milosevic activities. Therefore, it is thoroughly marginalized and does not threat the order established after October the 5th 2000.
