THE POLITICAL SCENE IN SERBIA: STABILITY AND CHALLENGES
THE POLITICAL SCENE IN SERBIA: STABILITY AND CHALLENGES

Summary/Abstract: This work presents a short outline of the Serbian political scene after the formation of government in 2007. The first part looks at the general aspects of the Serbian political scene, the basic one being the asymmetry between the size of the problem left by the Milošević’s heritage and the political capacity to solve them. The term low political capacity defines the narrow manoeuvring room for political activity through institutions and the insufficient political resources. The latter part outlines the challenges the new government is facing. This paper concludes that the burden of the Kosovo problem taken on by the government as the main priority will not only jeopardise political stability, but also present a set back for the reforms underway raise the issue of Serbia’s European integration.
