The impact of Slovenia in fostering European identity among Serbian youthMićović, Marija (Avtor) Uhan, Samo (Mentor) Ristevska, Teodora Tea (Komentor) European identitySerbian youthSlovenian educationErasmus projectEuropeanizationThe goal of this research was to determine whether and, if so, to what extent Slovenia’s youth education protocol with Serbia has an impact on increasing identification with the EU among Serbian youth. Relying on the transnationalist and constructivist understandings of European identity and using the methods of research conducted so far on the impact of the Erasmus project on the promotion of European identity within the EU, the author conducted their own survey. The survey was conducted in two ways: quantitative in the form of online questionnaires and qualitative in the form of in-depth and semi-structured interviews to determine whether the protocol on the international exchange of students that Slovenia has signed with the countries of the Western Balkans i.e. Serbia as a case study has an impact on the promotion of European identity. Findings show that despite there is no significant impact between these components as author argued at the beginning, still there are some indicators that show there is a possible connection. The author argue that these results are probably due to the small scope of respondents and call for more comprehensive research to be done supported by Slovenian academic institutions and policy makers on this subject in the future.M.
