AB  - During 2014 and 2015 within the EU funded FP7 research project ALTERNATIVE, the Victirnology Society of Serbia implemented an action research with the aim to test the applicability of the 'Third way' model in multi-ethnic communities in Serbia, more directly affected by the wars in the former Yugoslavia, and to further up-grade it, both theoretically and practically. Additionally, the action research aimed at coming to the ideas about possible future steps, and developing a tool (practical guide/nnanual) for applying restorative approaches in intercultural settings in Serbia. The action research consisted of two parts: the participatory seminars titled From the conflict toward the peaceful life in the community, which were implemented in three multi-ethnic communities in Serbia (Medveda, Prijepolje and Baeka Palanka), and developing the Manual on best practices of applying restorative justice approaches in intercultural settings that should serve for raising awareness and education on restorative approaches in conflict transformation. The aim of the article is to present main theoretical departures and methodological approach of the action research, with a particular focus on the seminars, as well as main conclusions and lessons learned in regard applicability of restorative approaches in the multiethnic communities in Serbia.

AB  - During 2013, within the ALTERNATIVE project, Victimlogy Society of Serbia conducted an empirical research study with the aim to find out how people from three multiethnic communities in Serbia deal with interethnic conflicts in their everyday life and to identify both problems and positive experiences in solving them. It also analysed how victims are treated, how the security and justice are perceived by the citizens, and what is the place of restorative approaches in dealing with conflicts and security. The research was conducted in Backa Palanka, Bat, Prijepolje and Medveda. It consisted of qualitative and quantitative part, and it had a strong action dimension. After a brief description of the research methodology, we present main research findings related to the conflicts that have been evolving since 1990 between members of different ethnic groups in three multiethnic communities in Serbia, focusing on the prevalence and characteristics of victimisation and respondents' notions of justice, i.e. mechanisms suitable to achieve justice in the concrete cases of victimisation they experienced. In the conclusion we point out that respondents attribute high relevance to both formal and informal restorative approaches, suggesting the need of citizens in general, and victims in particular to actively participate in the process of conflict transformation and prevention of further victimisations.
