Summary/Abstract: In the second half of the 20th century, public awareness about scientific arguments that preclude the genetic differentiation of the so far widely accepted description of “races” in most social communities has grown. Instead, neo-racist ideologists with different backgrounds rely on pseudoscientific premises about intrinsic and undefeatable cultural differences between populations. They initiate the belief that Western culture is superior to all other cultural models and establish a platform for justifying the many forms of anti- Semitism, nationalism and xenophobia. In the Balkans, this phenomenon has been particularly intensified in the preparation of the series of wars and continues to nowdays. In the countries with the glorification of single leader and strengthened militarization, differences between racism, nationalism and fascism have been lost (in the sense of their standard definitions).
