Summary/Abstract: In 2019, the Serbian government approved a bill according to which the feast of St. St. Cyril and Methodius – May 24 would be celebrated at state level as the Day of Slavic Literacy and Culture. The historical memory of the creators of the Slavic alphabet and the question of the political function of the Cyrillic alphabet introduced an important symbolic load in the Serbian state’s relations with Croatia, Montenegro and (North) Macedonia in the second decade of the 21st century.
