The Adoption of European Standards in the Sphere of Economic Law and (Anticipated) Cultural Change in Serbia
description Serbian society has undergone significant changes over the last ten years.

The primary focus of the paper is on the study of (anticiapted) cultural change which is brought about by changes in economic law. By studying changing attitudes to business operation, the paper seeks to answer the questions of whether we can learn something about cultural change by analyzing economic law and whether we are witnessing the transformation of Serbian citizens into "European citizens", consumers, businessmen, farmers, bureaucrats or politicians.
