Abstract: A democratic society and economic prosperity are the acclaimed results of the transition from a socialist order to a liberal democracy and social market economy. However, these promises - advocated by the financial institutions, the EU and neoliberal scholars - have not been fulfilled in ex-Yugoslavia. More than 25 years after the beginning of the transition, interrupted by years of war, many people feel deprived of their democratic rights and do not trust the political elites. Many have lost their jobs or pensions, as well as their access to free education or healthcare. It is evident in the growing number of protests across ex-Yugoslav countries that more people are becoming aware of the devastating consequences of neo-liberal reforms and privatisation.
