The collapse of the Yugoslav federation was also a prerequisite for the disintegration of the Serbo-Croatian language. In connection with this, the key events in the 1990s of the last century were a precondition for creation of new borders also in the literary sense. Earlier controversies about the existence of the Serbo-Croatian literature unity were replaced by theoretical concepts of literary canons of the „successor“ literatures. This paper tries to analyze the situation of newly forming narratives of Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin literature with an emphasis on the complex context of their historical development and contemporary interpretation of particular moments in the perspective of common borders of the new national literatures.
