Summary/Abstract: In the understanding of multiculturalism, European and Anglo-Saxon school, it is about a phenomenon that is related to modern processes in the economy, politics and culture. As such, the establishment is located in a neo-liberal vision of society development, revival and protection of social capital and multicultural values in it. This vision of multiculturalism, at the beginning of the XXI century, the practice is seen in two ways – as a challenge of civilization, but also as a threat to the security of society. Although there is no general consensus regarding the particularities of multiculturalism in contemporary society, as well as indicators of possible threats to the security of society, the paper starts from the socio-economic characteristics, inherent to the practice of liberal society, and threats to security such understandings of society and the state. In the case of this paper, we start from the question of cultural patterns in the structure of the threats of a multicultural society, in the change of ideology at the expense of individualism, collectivism, with a strong tendency to strengthen the identity of the factors of a pluralistic society. The focus in this paper is on the analysis of these issues in South Eastern Europe and the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the past two decades. I appreciate that the expected results can help define the scientific forecasts of social development for the future. I believe that this work will be a contribution to the study of security as a contemporary social phenomenon in a very complex socio-economic and cultural processes. This paper is based on secondary sources, such as research contributions by prestigious schools in the world, from Habermas and Francis Fukuyama, Huntington and to one part of the works of local artists.
