From Power-Sharing Arrangements to Identity Building: The Case of Kosovo Serbs in Kosovo.

This article deals with the effectiveness of power-sharing arrangements and how they influence the identity building process in the particular case of Kosovo Serbs. Based on original data collected during a nine-month fieldwork conducted by the author in Kosovo Serbs villages, this paper aims to present local dynamics of everyday resistance to power-sharing arrangements and their implications. I argue that ordinary people’s everyday resistance to power-sharing provisions engenders a marginalization process, which contributes to the emergence of multiple Serbian identities within the Kosovo entity.
