The binding sacred-land slogan gets revised and redeployed as contexts and wars change

Evidence

The phrase “Serbian Jerusalem” used in political discourse was probably first published in the 1930s and revived in the 1980s. Since then, it has been reused and revised to fit in the new sociohistorical context of the fall of Yugoslavia, the post-Yugoslav civil wars in the Balkans in the 1990s, and Serbia’s extended struggle for Kosovo afterward. — Nadim N. Rouhana and Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, When Politics Are Sacralized, 1510
