ABSTRACT
Since the 2000s the LGBTQI issue seems to be the focus of human rights in the region of the former Yugoslavia. This chapter analyzes how its successor states (Croatia and Serbia) deal with old/new questions in the spotlight of the new political framework and public discourse, after the break-up of the socialist country where homosexuality was criminalized partially until the mid-1990s. Are predominant political discourses concerning LGBTQI rights in Croatia and Serbia different? And if so, how? What does it have to do with post-war societies and what forms of continuities are to be found in the social-political arena?
