Abstract

This work provides of teching of the Modern European History at four state Universities in Serbia, with special reference to the 19th and 20th century since the outbreak of the French Revolution until the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Also, the focus was set on contemporary methodogical approach of teaching of the Modern European History in Serbia. The Modern European History as a subject in Serbiahas a long tradition, and was taught since the establishment of the Lyceum (Higher School), which was established in 1838, in Kragujevac, and since 1841, it was located in Belgrade, the capital of Principality of Serbia. Since 1863, the Liceym was called the Great School, and since 1905, changed its name to the University of Belgrade, as the first state University in the Kongdom of Serbia. Progress in teching of the Modern European History was made in 1874, when the famous Serbian historian Stojan Bošković became professor of this subject. Special Department of the Modern European History at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Belgrade was founded in the school year 1930/31, and by then was within a joint seminar with the General History of Middle Ages. The contemporary methodological approach to the organization of the teching of history at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade occured in the mid-eighties of the 20th century, when from the subject of the earlier the Modern European History II, which included a period from 1789, until 1914, a new subjects, Contemporary European History was extracted and covered history of Europe since the outbreak of the First World War until the Cold War era. With the introduction of the Bologna Process at the University of Belgrade in 2009, the subject the Modern European History II was reorganized as the General History of 19th Century, from the French Revolution to the outbreak of Second World War.
