Thirty years of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the event that symbolically marked the end of the old and the beginning of new era in the development of mankind is celebrated this year. The events from 1989, marked the end of bipolar world, the victory of democracy and freedom over totalitarianism. Yugoslavia-the freest country of the communist world, chose the way of nationalism and dissolution of federal country, unlike most so-called Eastern Bloc countries, where the demolition of the Berlin Wall has started the reforms that led to the democratization of society. Three decades later, societies created by disintegration of Yugoslavia still try to get rid of communistic ideological heritage paradigm and turned the values of Europe, because of which in these communities still lasts one kind of post-communist transition.
