ЕВРОПА И БАЛКАНОТ: ИСТОРИСКО НАСЛЕДСТВО И КОНСТРУКЦИЈА НА КОЛЕКТИВНИТЕ ИДЕНТИТЕТИ
EUROPE AND THE BALKANS: HISTORICAL HERITAGE AND CONSTRUCTION OF COLLECTIVE IDENTITIES

Summary/Abstract: The base of European culture and civilization lays in the cultural heritage, which origins from “the ancient Balkans”. History of the Western Europe with the division of the Roman Empire, in great measure excludes the Balkan cultural heritage. This is especially expressed with the relation to the Ottoman period. Creation of the modern nations enables “The Western” principle of nation-state to be promoted through Christian Ottoman population. The great national programs on the youth Balkan nations contribute the space of the Balkans to become pejorative cultural zone, in which “the state obligation” of “the legitimate authorities” is used for mechanical construction of the identities, which is far from their vision for organic qualification thought the nation. Contemporary view of the post-modern, global world promotes the European perspectives of the Balkan.
