Summary/Abstract: In a new attempt to give a definition of Serbian national identity, it is of a decisive significance to make a connection between critically valued tradition from one side, and globalisation requests from the other side. The fruitful connection between the old and the new is possible only if Serbia succeed in the construction of democratic and noncorrupted state institutions that will create a rational consciousness of Serbian distinctness, as well as that of the values of exterior world. In this delicate affair of self-definition, the major responsibility lies on political elites and ideological projects openly or stealthily favored by them, that are reflected best in media (public opinion) and educational institutions.
