Abstract
"In the last 15 years since the breakup of Yugoslavia Serbian society has been struggling to come to terms with its new identity. This struggle has been intensified by the wide variety of confessions in the country. The vast majority (about 85 per cent) of the population belongs to the Serbian Orthodox Church, but Roman and Greek Catholics, Jews, Muslims and Protestants (Lutherans and Calvinists) have also been present in the country for centuries. In the last 100 years Baptists, Pentecostals and other Christian groups have gained some followers and many other new religious or quasi-religious communities have appeared in recent times. One of the challenges has been redefining the role of religion in the new non-socialist state. The political and legal transformation that has taken place particularly since the fall of Milosevic in 2000 has still not come up with solutions to outstanding problems in the area of church-state relations. The present article aims to examine various legal and societal aspects of the relationship between these two realms, to take a look at the state of religious freedom and tolerance in society and to examine the Serbian situation within the European context."
