This paper attempts to analyze cultural and historical heritage throughout centuries, while also focusing on the importance of this heritage – not only in terms of the survival of Serbs during the four centuries of Turkish slavery and the construction of the modern Serbian republic, but also in terms of ingraining moral values of the natural law in all individuals, as they seem to be fading from their conscience under the influence of American globalization. It will also analyze the international frame and position of the Republic of Serbia in the interdependent world, so as to help us grasp both the positive and the negative effects of the decision which could disrupt the fragile peace on the Balkan Peninsula. This paper, thus, concludes that Serbia, as a country with the rich cultural and historical heritage and traditions that have been kept alive through epic poetry for centuries, needs to consider all of its future actions carefully. Hasty decisions could divide the already heterogeneous Serbs even further, thus defaming the glorious history of Serbia and its notable figures. Furthermore, the solution to the Kosovo issue and the stand the Republic of Serbia chooses to take will dictate the decisions and proceedings of the international community towards Serbia in the future.
