Contents Summary

This broadcast features an exploration of the Serbian folk consciousness and how it has contributed to the arming of civilians and the military might of Serb forces in the war in the former Yugoslavia. The influence of political systems and history are discussed, creating what the reporter refers to as a "militaristic neurosis," said to remain embedded within the Serbian national character. Nationalist politicians such as Vuk Draskovic and Vojislav Seselj are also shown at rallies. The influential role of the Serbian Orthodox Church, the Serbian monarchy, and other elements culturally relevant to the Serbs are discussed as well.
