ПРЕДМОДЕРНО ЕТНИЧКО ЈЕЗГРО И МОДЕРНА НАЦИЈА
PREMODERN ETHNIC CORE AND MODERN NATION

Summary/Abstract: The basic question in the text refers to the existence of continuity between the premodern ethnic core and the modern nation. Understanding of the origin of the nations in its essential points is conditioned by the way of solving this problem. Modernists consider that the continuity is at the most only the fruit of construction. Thus the conection between the premodern ethnicity and nation for Hobsbawm is the fruit of »invented tradition«, for the Gellner it is »fabricated«, or as Anderson puts it is »imagined«. Taking in consideration real historical context however it apears that the role of the ethnic cores in building modern nationas, especially europe nations is essentional.
