Abstract

The anniversary has reaffirmed the belief that the First World War still has a very strong resonance in Serbian society. Numerous actors, state and private ones alike, took part in Serbia's centenary efforts. The manifestations and activities reflected Serbian politics, different approaches, expectations and evaluation of the trends in Europe. The controversies surrounding the 1990s Yugoslav Wars were easily perceptible during Serbia's commemorative activities. In the broadest sense, the centenary testified to Serbia's search for stable and positive landmarks of national identity in the post-Yugoslav context. 1 Commemorating the Balkan Wars 2 The Centenary Committee 3 Commemorations "Under Siege" 4 Serbia and the Commemorative Events in Bosnia and Herzegovina 5 Scientific Conferences and Exhibitions
