The year 2015 brings two significant anniversaries: the 70th anniversary of the establishment of socialist Yugoslavia, and the 25th anniversary of the introduction of liberal democracy and a free market economy (that signalled not only the end of this socialist project but also, soon after, the end of Yugoslavia itself).
