ABSTRACT

The time period of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries has brought significant changes and tough challenges to postwar Yugoslav countries (i.e. Wachtel 1998; Dragićević Šešić and Dragojević 2006; Švob-Ðokić 2011; Brkić 2014). Forced and willing migrations, intensified ethnic distances, destroyed industries, and the combined consequences of globalisation, the economic crisis, and the process of European integration have changed not only the ingrained way(s) of life but also the appearance and perception of life in urban environments in former Yugoslav countries.
