Methodological Approaches to Online Serbian Heritage Language Instruction
In this paper, we propose adequate methodological approaches for Serbian as a heritage language based on the critical analysis of the existing Serbian Ministry of Education’s Curriculum for Serbian as a foreign language. This curriculum is recommended for use in Serbian heritage language education; however, it has been shown to be insufficiently effective in the classroom. The methods in question should benefit heritage speakers the most, such as communication-based methods and form-focused instruction, which enhance metalinguistic awareness. Additionally, we suggest an integrative model of teaching as we believe that cross-cultural approaches positively impact both types of students.

Srbská frazeologie v českém a bulharském překladu: Kontrastivní analýza
This book analyzes in contrastive way Czech and Bulgarian translations of phrasemes of two Serbian prose works: The Bridge on the Drina by Ivo Andrić (1945) and Dictionary of the Khazars by Milorad Pavić (1984). It tracks and describes the formal, semantic and stylistic variations of Czech and Bulgarian translation solutions while trying to answer the question, to what extent the greater typological linguistic proximity is playing bigger role at the accuracy of the translation of phraseology (Czech is thus closer to Serbian than Bulgarian) and to what extent the genetic and cultural-historical propinquity is more important (Bulgarian to Serbian is thus closer than Czech).

Slovosledné změny v bulharských a srbských evangelních památkách z 12. a 13. Století
This monograph explores word order transformations in some Bulgarian and Serbian Church-Slavonic gospel transcriptions. The changes in word order in these texts are registered as variants to an Old Church-Slavonic text (Codex Marianus) and to the text of Old Greek New Testament. The publication discovers the principles on which the word order in the texts from the 12th and 13th century was organized and finds some differences from the word order in Old Church-Slavonic language. It also focuses on the question of occurrence of some new, progressive tendencies, and new, different word order models.
