Between past and future: Social Housing in Serbia in the transitional process

This article discusses the evolution of social public housing in the Yugoslav Federation with reference to Serbia, in relation to a number of socioeconomic- cultural and political variables. The focus on different aspects of the housing problem demonstrates the current challenges and limitations of each of them. The changes that occurred quickly denied the experience of the socialist period, while a reading of the experiences of the past might have been useful to draw interesting suggestions to guide current policies in the sector, which follow the implementation of EU directives in a manner that is uncritical and decontextualised.
