Summary/Abstract: It is in the interest of the stability of any political system to form the political culture of the population in accordance with its fundamental principles and values. Through the available options, the political system makes efforts to define essentially a framework for the formation of political values, norms, expectations and behavioural patterns of the system’s individual and group participants. In a controlled process of continuous political socialisation, it ensures their loyalty also through active support in moments of crisis, while stimulating political and social cohesion and integration in a society defined by its citizens or nations, in turn, it seeks to prevent conflicts and tensions among social groups and social anomy.
