| description | During 2013, within the ALTERNATIVE project, Victimology Society of Serbia
conducted an empirical research study with the aim to find out how people
from three multiethnic communities in Serbia deal with interethnic conflicts
in their everyday life and to identify both problems and positive experiences
in solving them. It also analysed how victims are treated, how the security
and justice are perceived by the citizens, and what is the place of
restorative approaches in dealing with conflicts and security. The research
was conducted in Bačka Palanka, Bač, Prijepolje and Medveđa. It consisted of
qualitative and quantitative part, and it had a strong action dimension.
After a brief description of the research methodology, we present main
research findings related to the conflicts that have been evolving since 1990
between members of different ethnic groups in three multiethnic communities
in Serbia, focusing on the prevalence and characteristics of victimisation
and respondents’ notions of justice, i.e. mechanisms suitable to achieve
justice in the concrete cases of victimisation they experienced. In the
conclusion we point out that respondents attribute high relevance to both
formal and informal restorative approaches, suggesting the need of citizens
in general, and victims in particular to actively participate in the process
of conflict transformation and prevention of further victimisations. [The
research leading to these results has received funding from the European
Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7-SEC-2011-1) under grant agreement
