Abstract:
The paper consists of a presentation and analysis of the results of an anonymous survey conducted in the first half of 2018. The survey was about the stereotypes that Serbs may have in their views and attitude towards other Balkan peoples; in this case towards the Eastern and Southern Balkan nations – Romanians, Bulgarians, Greeks and Turks. Through free associations, we tried to register those stereotypes, and through questions about phraseologisms and paremias that the respondents know about the given nations, we tried to check whether some stereotypes remained there. The results partially confirmed and partially refuted our initial assumptions. In conclusion, we give another brief overview of the survey itself and the possibilities for its improvement.
