Can Serb intellectuals learn anything from Slovene intellectuals and the other way round?
Serbs can learn a lot from Slovenes on the road to modern Europe of the mass market capitalism. The dilemma is – is that a good road? Perhaps there is no other choice. For me the goal is somewhere else – not in Europe of leisure and advertising. Look, there is still something of a Marxist in me. Therefore, if Serbs and their intellectuals want higher standard, more material goods, more security, although the last one is questionable given the inevitable increase in poverty and violence in two thirds of the society, then they will follow the Slovene example, just like we Slovenes followed Austrians and Germans followed the English. During the last fifteen years Slovenia went through different phases – from total rejection of everything linked to Yugoslavia, through disgust at everything related to Serbia and Serbs, to some sort of “Yugonostalgia”. Do you still hold that Slovenia and its culture benefited from seventy years of coexistence with other similar nations in the same country? H
