| Title | Legal and Political Rehabilitation of Dragoljub Mihailovic and the Yugoslav Army in the Homeland |
| Summary | This thesis addresses the problems of legal rehabilitation in Serbia and its implementation by looking at the Rehabilitation Acts of 2006 and 2011 and the completed rehabilitation cases. The second aim of the research was to analyse legal rehabilitation of Dragoljub Mihailović, the leader of the Yugoslav Army in the Homeland. This research intends to offer new perspectives on the topic by arguing that legal rehabilitation of Mihailović and the Yugoslav Army in the Homeland represents a symbolic act, because the rehabilitation cases have been processed by the 2006 law which does not define retribution and because of ongoing political rehabilitation the Chetniks. Reevaluation of the Chetniks has been present in Serbian Society in last 30 years, but it became more prominent after 2000. The thesis looks at legislation, commemorations, media projects and textbooks which have been in the service of the political rehabilitation of the Chetniks and puts it in the wider context of restorative history politics with the purpose of delegitimization of post-1945 Yugoslavia. |
