Since the mid-1980s, some Serbian historians have been worried about the content of school textbooks that legitimized disintegration and impending conflicts. During the breakup of Yugoslavia and military escalation in the early 1990s, history textbooks turned out to be a field of national mobilization. Then the main motives of criticism and alternative proposals were repeated at the beginning of the 21st century, and this indicated the absence of changes. Public interest in the problem was aroused only in 2017 by the criticism of the textbook written by Rado? Lju?i?. Despite strong inertia, the coordinated efforts of reform supporters in historical education has become a landmark.
