In addition to human losses, the Second World War caused great damage to the economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially to the industry that was exposed to severe destruction and damage. The situation was similar in the Bosnian Podrinje, and in the whole of northeastern Bosnia, where many residential buildings were destroyed. The Communist Party was not active in northeastern Bosnia, leaving room for its political and ideological opponents. More or less „Chetnik and Ustasha groups“ were moving around the surrounding forests, attacking the local population, harassing and looting them.

At the same time, the number of Serbs and Croats in the total population of this area was decreasing. This was, first of all, due to the departure of Serbs and Croats to neighboring Serbia, ie Croatia for employment or education.

The significance of this work for contemporary feminist theory is that it points to the fact that, although in recent years, the work of women's organizations and affiliates of the Serbian Charity Cooperative Society and the Circle of Serbian Sisters of Subotica has remained until. These are female politicians and humanitarians who, through their work through women's organizations, have worked to educate girls. They are Danica J. Konjovic, Mica Radic, Anastasia Manojlovic, Manda Sudarevic and others. The work was based on the material of the Historical Archives of the City of Subotica, the archives of the Serbian Orthodox Church Municipality in Subotica, as well as other relevant literature that dealt with the study of the importance of charities in Subotica. The paper deals with Bunjevke and Serb women from Subotica, because the general and scientific public know little about their work.

This contribution is an analysis of difference between alternative communities and a case study of others in a community of others. There is no academic consensus in the geographical field about others ruralities. Through the exam of the alternative spaces is possible to advance in the interpretation of the difference and the others. We seek to give a big picture of the alternative communities in depopulated areas and the differences between them. The alternative communities grouped in the Red Iberica of Ecoaldeas are the empirical example with a specific case study: Tierras Altas in Soria (Spain). The technique of investigation in the documentary interpretation of its own sources: leaflets, advertisements, propaganda and information leaflets. A systematic inventory and analysis of the journalistic reports on these initiatives is a secondary source. In addition, geo-ethnographic methods are used in the case of study. The study reveals different -and even contrasted-types of rural alternatives in Spain, based in new form of difference/alternative (rural) lives in a specific and special place and singular housing. It are concluded that among the other alternatives there is no convergence in its self-definition, an open category. It constitutes the symbiosis between nature, community and individual. The relationship between others alternatives and the nature/land is a central element in the discourse, tactics and strategies. In addition, social exclusivity is one of the characteristics of many alternative settlements. It eliminates the conflict between traditional rural communities and new comers.

This article refers to the scientific and professional relations between Serbian economists and their counterparts from the West. Opinions of Serbian economists about the others and otherness are considered within the context of post socialist transformation at the turn of millennium. Firstly, the statements about scientific exchange with foreign, i.e. Western professionals and institutions are discussed referring to experienced pleasant and unpleasant surprises as well as to the effects of scientific cooperation in view of "we"-"others" relationship, i.e. mutual learning process and reception of knowledge and professional behavior types. In relation to that, the differences between egalitarian liberals and libertarians among our economist", are pointed out. Finally, arguments of interviewed experts about privatization in Serbia, its characteristics and effects are presented.

Studying urban legends, the French folklorist Véronique Campion-Vincent posed the question of whether some of the more recent legends preach tolerance. The "elevator incident" or "swallowed ticket" legends display a different attitude to Others from that found in classic xenophobic urban legends. This different attitude is also to be found in two legends recorded in Serbia, namely, the legend of the Chinese restaurant and the legend of "The Gypsy's Tavern". An analysis of the two legends shows that the ambiguity of "tolerance legends" does not arise from the fact that they speak about a xenophobic environment while at the same time having a denouement that "preaches" tolerance, but rather from the fact that the "preaching" relates to those Others who have gone through a process of acculturation, who have been assimilated and who have accepted the rules of "our" culture. These legends do not preach tolerance towards the Otherness of Others but towards Others who are striving to become or have managed to become "Us".

Bosnia and Herzegovina as a state is still in the process of constitution. Instead of finding “true measure” building a vision, responsibility, value system, identity, tolerance and human and national dignity, the accent has been placed on various interpretation of its legal nature, the form of government, rule and political system, especially the cause, character and effects of „tragic conflict in the region”, hence it is necessary to objectively establish the truth and come to agreement in terms of establishing the final model of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a state. The author has also considered the constitutionalisation of the consitutional law institute of constituency of peoples and constitutional law position of nationals and „others” including possible scope, content and character of constitutional changes in terms of the European court for Human Rights Decision, which creates the obligation for Bosnia and Herzegovina to amend its constitution and electoral legislation with the aim to lift discrimination of any kind and form. It includes ali consitutional law and other assumptions for equity and equality of „others” according to standards and criteria guaranteed by international, regional and internal documents. However, all this does not waive other constitutional provisions which would brought into guestion the existing constitutional law government of Bosnia and Herzegovina, based on the Deyton solutions and established principle of representation of constituent peoples and „others” in government bodies and institutions at all levels, which, inter alia, represents condicio sine qua non for its existence, sustainability stability and development.
