This youth study provides an overview of the civic and political perceptions as well
as the individual experiences of young people in Serbia. It explores the attitudes, beliefs and expectations
of a younger generation which mainly grew up in a transition country fifteen years after the democratic
change. The study shows in general terms that young people in Serbia still face strong constraints such as
inefficient education, high unemployment, financial and living dependencies and a deep feeling of
exclusion from politics. While at the same time defines their individual perception of their own future and
that their satisfaction with life is rather optimistic. This survey also includes recommendations to policies
and decision makers in Serbia on how to improve the living conditions of young people and to show to
the younger generation of today that they are much needed in order to build a better future in a country
still in transition, but also on a long road to Europe.
