Summary/Abstract: In this text I examine a possible direction of reconciliation of ethno-cultural pluralism and democratic legitimacy, using the case of Serbia. The theory of constitutional patriotism is in the centre of this normative solution. The first part provides a critical review of the most influential liberal modes of political integration in multicultural states: liberal proceduralism, liberal nationalism and liberal multiculturalism. Later on, I explore dynamic of state and nation building in Serbia in historical perspective. In the final chapter I defend the thesis that political identity of Serbia should be embedded in political structures of society, rather then ethno-cultural characteristics of majority.
