Abstract

UDK 911.3:32(282.249)

The river Drina has been the focal point of Serbian nationalist movement and the proponents of the ideology and politics of a “great Serbia” for more than two centuries. This was proved in history as well as by the number of theoretical and empirical studies. In the continuum of Serbian nationalistic ideology, politics and practice of “great Serbia”, the river Drina has a special place and significance. Thus it was given not only a mythological, but also a symbolic significance that portrays the Drina as a backbone of an entire body of Serbian nation. Strategic aim Serbian nationalistic policy has been “eliminating the river Drina as a border between Serbian lands”.
