This study gives an overview of classical and critical definitions of the commons, as well as the theoretical framework for the urban commons and the interpretative perspective through struggles and practices of the commoning, followed by the specific case studies in the ex-YU region.
During the period of writing and preparing this publication, we were constantly haunted by self-reflection and our own repeated questioning of the methods used and the results of our efforts. It seems that such a troublesome process never actually stops, as it exists in the ever-present search for a more radical change. We therefore perceive this publication as merely an overview of this particular moment and context, while our struggles to create and sustain more just spaces and communities - struggles always accompanied by continual reflection - have already surpassed these pages.
