Косово – „Златната клонка” на сръбската политика
Kosovo – “The Golden Bough” of Serbian Politics

Summary/Abstract: The paper sets the parameters of one of the Serbian national myths – Kosovo, giving examples of its political utilization. The importance of this myth for the political power leads to its persistent presence in the national and cultural space, on the one side, and on the other hand, to its enrichment with novel meanings which might compensate the lack of real historic and geographic facts able to become its natural components. Speaking about Kosovo is a sacral act which few people allow themselves to abuse. But when the Serbian ethnologists have the floor they are not always understood properly even by their own countrymen.
