Course Content (Syllabus)
The course presents the course of the Slavic peoples in the Balkans from the 6th century, their political and cultural evolution to emphasize the events that stigmatized these peoples in modern times, reaching the 20th century. Central political event was the creation of Yugoslavia in 1918 with the establishment of the Kingdom of Serbian Croats and Slovenes and the developments it experienced and eventually disintegrated in 1990. One of the factors that played a significant role in these developments was the religious one. The dominant religious communities are therefore examined: the Serbian Patriarchate, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Croatia and the Muslim Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Particular emphasis is placed on the development of religious-political relations during the period of Broz Tito's socialist regime with both Christian and Muslim leaderships.
