Summary/Abstract: In the paper, I will deal with an interpretation of the character of G. Princip in contemporary Serbian drama based on two plays by authors B. Srbljanović and M. Marković. Both texts were written at the occasion of celebrating hundred years of the beginning of World War I and lean on historical reality and archive material, but they are not simple reconstruction of events. I will analyze the texts from culturological point of view, due to the fact that they present events long term present in collective memory of South Slavs, they bring to light circumstances of the assassination and show a role of an individual in confrontation with large collective history and explore meaning of the words „victim“ or „hero“ in spirit of postmodernism.
