Srbija na kraju istorije
Serbia at the End of History

Summary/Abstract: The analysis of the historical moment in which Serbia is currently in, with a ballast of hard recent past and with fear of uncertain future, is given through the interpretation of messages of Samuel Huntington (“The Clash of Civilizations”) and Francis Fukuyama (“The End of History and the Last Man”). In “The Clash of Civilizations” Serbia is handicapped by its belonging to the weakest of three civilizations in the Balkans, for the West civilization is extraordinary superior while the Islamic is in great uprising today. From the other side, after the breakdown of communism and foundation of parliamentary democracy and capitalistic market economy Serbia is reaching “the end of history”, according to Fukuyama’s definition of the end of history as “the end of ideological evolution of humanity”. Contemporary Serbia lacks outer and inner stability and clearly defined borders. Hard economic and social problems, unemployment and difficult situation of the poor, erosion of morals are also present. Only when all these problems are resolved Serbia will come close to “the end of history” in the sense of completion of its ideological evolution.
