Denacionalizacija u Srbiji - hronologija obećanja
Denationalisation in Serbia - Chronology of Promises

Summary/Abstract: Following the comments regarding terminology of the notion of denationalisation, the author presents a short background of property rights, as well as the history of attempts of denationalisation in Serbia. The issues of legal basis, adequacy, equality and equity of denationalisation and other issues are examined in detail in this paper. The author concludes that story on denationalisation for very long time now is not motivated by genuine desires to correct historical injustice. On the Serbian scene, denationalisation has for a long time been one of the tools for undoing of the previous government, namely gaining power, for trading with promises, selling of intellectual services and as an attractive phrase in election campaigns. The practice of arbitrary will and despotism of each new government is already a long tradition in Serbia. Every new government wants to write history from beginning, that is from its arrival. Each new government is a government of discontinuity in regard to the previous government. From the point of view of denationalisation, it is the perfect opportunity for many mistakes which may be exploited by a future government to draw attention away from its own actions.
