Flying under the ethnic radarZupančič, Rok (Avtor) Đorđević, Anđela (Avtor) Kočan, Faris (Avtor) Gorski Kotarinterethnic relationspeacebuildingstatebuildingconflict resolutionGorski Kotar, a region in north-west Croatia inhabited by Croats and Serbs, was largely spared the massive armed violence of the 1990s. This study argues that the maintenance of peace, which continues to this day, is largely due to a strategy of the local Serbs that can be described as ‘flying under the ethnic radar’. This means that they avoid displaying their ‘ethnic visibility’ too openly, which characterises the everyday life of local Serbs even in the post-war period. The study uses a variety of qualitative research methods: participant observation, in-depth interviews and the analysis of primary and secondary sources.20262025-06-03 13:19:49Članek v reviji169550sl
