Popis: The paper focuses upon the causes and consequences of the disunity of the single Islamic community in the Republic of Serbia, when the Law on Churches and Religious Communities was passed on in 2006, and analyzes events up to 2012. To explore this subject, I focus primarily on the relations between the two dominant Islamic communities in Republic of Serbia. Bourdieu's theory of social fields is applied in the analytical part. In addition to secondary literature, I analyze daily newspapers that report on this topic, as well as the discourse of the main agents, transcribed from the interviews I conducted with them. With this paper, I want to contribute to a better understanding of the position of Islamic communities in Serbia, which is conditioned by socio-political relations within the Islamic communities and in the country.
