The murder of a reformist premier stalled reforms and put an end to the cooperation with The Hague Tribunal. And, moreover, it opened the door to Serbia’s radicalization. The DOS coalition's incapability and unwillingness to make a break with Milosevic’s policy, particularly the warring one, gave scope to restoration of the ancien regime that triumphed in the early parliamentary election.

  • Authenticity in Electronic Dance Music in Serbia at the Turn of the Centuries
    The Other by Itself: Authenticity in electronic dance music in Serbia at the turn of the centuries Inaugural dissertation submitted to attain the academic degree of Dr phil., to Department 07 – History and Cultural Studies at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz Irina Maksimović Belgrade Mainz 2016 Supervisor: Co-supervisor: Date of oral examination: May 10th 2017 Abstract Electronic dance music (shortly EDM) in Serbia was an authentic phenomenon of popular culture whose development went hand in hand with a socio-political situation in the country during the 1990s. After the disintegration of Yugoslavia in 1991 to the moment of the official end of communism in 2000, Serbia was experiencing turbulent situations. On one hand, it was one of the most difficult periods in contemporary history of the country. On the other – it was one of the most original. In that period, EDM officially made its entrance upon the stage of popular culture and began shaping the new scene. My explanation sheds light on the fact that a specific space and a particular time allow the authenticity of transposing a certain phenomenon from one context to another. Transposition of worldwide EDM culture in local environment in Serbia resulted in scene development during the 1990s, interesting DJ tracks and live performances. The other authenticity is the concept that led me to research. This concept is mostly inspired by the book “Death of the Image” by philosopher Milorad Belančić, who says that the image today is moved to the level of new screen and digital spaces. The other authenticity offers another interpretation of a work, or an event, while the criterion by which certain phenomena, based on pre-existing material can be noted is to be different, to stand out by their specificity in a new context.

Bibliography 273 Abstract The nation-state is now the dominant form of sovereign statehood, however, a century and a half ago the political map of Europe comprised only a handful of sovereign states, very few of them nations in the modern sense. Balkan historiography often tends to minimize the complexity of nation-building, either by referring to the national community as to a monolithic and homogenous unit, or simply by neglecting different social groups whose consciousness varied depending on region, gender and generation. Further, Bulgarian and Serbian historiography pay far more attention to the problem of "how" and "why" certain events have happened than to the emergence of national consciousness of the Balkan peoples as a complex and durable process of mental evolution. This dissertation on the concept of nationality in which most Bulgarians and Serbs were educated and socialized examines how the modern idea of nationhood was disseminated among the ordinary people and it presents the complicated process of national indoctrination carried out by various state institutions.

  • Sexual Selection Can Reduce Mutational Load in Drosophila Subobscura
    UDC 575 DOI: 10.2298/GENSR1302537V Original scientific paper SEXUAL SELECTION CAN REDUCE MUTATIONAL LOAD IN DROSOPHILA SUBOBSCURA Marija SAVI Ć VESELINOVI Ć1, Sofija PAVKOVI Ć-LU ČIĆ1, Zorana KURBALIJA NOVI ČIĆ2, Mihailo JELI Ć1, Marko AN ĐELKOVI Ć1,2,3 1 Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia 2 Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković”, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia 3 Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Belgrade, Serbia Veselinovi ć Savi ć M., S. Pavkovi ć Lu čić, Z. Kurbalija Novi čić, M. Jeli ć and M. An đelkovi ć (2013): Sexual selection can reduce mutational load in Drosophila subobscura. Genetika, Vol 45, No. 2, 537-552. According to theoretical predictions sexual selection can reduce mutational load through male mating success. Males of good genetic quality should be more successful in matings, compared to the males of low genetic quality, thus in this way females can prevent deleterious alleles to be transmitted to the next generation. We tested this hypothesis through set up of two experimental groups from same genetic pool, where in one group genetic quality was manipulated by ionizing radiation. Within each group opportunity for choosing mates was imposed: males and females had no choice or had multiple choice. Mutational load was measured through the variability of different fitness components: fecundity and egg-to-adult viability. Our results indicate that sexual selection can reduce mutational load, only for fecundity. Group with the presence of female choice exhibited higher fecundity than group in which sexual selection was experimentally eliminated, but only in “irradiated” group. There was no overall difference in egg-to-adult viability between different sexual selection regimes in any of the group.
