A brief history of citizens’ views on the dialogue between Belgrade and Priština. What has (not) changed?

The first part of the analysis presents the answer to the position of the Serbian public on the dialogue between Belgrade and Priština, and underlines and explains the causes of key trends related to this issue. The second part presents the key findings of the analysis of Serbia’s public support for various modalities for Kosovo’s final status in the past eight years. Finally, faced with the fact that, when processing the findings of existing research, we noticed the need for a different approach in the future, so that research findings are more comparable and it is easier to draw conclusions about trends, the third part of the analysis presents key advice and guidelines for future researchers of public opinion on this topic.
