%X Sa£¿etak It is a common place to say that Serbia's political leadership failed to understand the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. It is only by political changes of the 5th October 2000, which we here describe as ¡°liberal revolution¡± ¨C relying on the normative construct developed by Bruce Ackerman ¨C that a ¡°constitutional chance¡± for re-defining of political identity of Serbia emerged. However, the 2012 elections marked the returning of the actors of the ¡°Old Regime¡± on political scene, which meant also the beginning of the period of ¡°political restauration¡±. Serbia had a misfortune: in the last 50 years it gave birth to two most regressive regimes in contemporary Europe. It is the only post-communist country in which we now witness political restauration. In this article we analyse political dynamics of Serbian society, beginning with forceful processes of ¡°republicanisation of politics¡± and ending with destruction of political body of society, the fall of democracy and the emergence of a particular form of political pathology
