Title | Political "Paradox": Exploring the Simultaneous Affection for Tito and Support for Serbian Nationalism in Contemporay Serbia |
Summary | This paper investigates the paradoxical coexistence of affection for the former leader of Yugoslavia, Josip Broz Tito, and support for contemporary Serbian nationalist leader Aleksandar Vučić. Through qualitative research methods, which includes a focus group discussion with six participants, the research delves into the narratives influencing Serbian political behavior. Findings suggest that the recollection of positive memories of Tito’s era, characterized by economic stability and opportunities, contrast sharply with the nationalist-driven aspirations encouraged by Vučić. However, both politicians (try to) balance world powers and make Serbia a strong player in the international arena. |
