Program
Secularism is in European terms generally understood as a separation of state and organized religion. The issue of secularism and in general the relation between state and religious organizations has become especially problematic issue for the states of former Yugoslavia but it also poses serious threat to the increasing ethnic complexity in Europe. Can secularism as a norm help overcome this problem both in Europe and abroad?
