description It is first stated in this paper that those societies which are exceptionally multicultural and in every way heterogeneous, and which undergo transitional changes, potentially have an additional difficulty in comparison to those that do not have such characteristics. This is much more of a case for those societies in which the existing differences that have not been overcome, became one of the basic reasons, if not even one of the main causes, of fierce and historically repetitive (which also means repeatable) conflicts. Nevertheless, if the question of larger admiration of existing differences and its expression through new ways of social organization is, in fact, raised as an important issue in highly developed and extremely stable states, sometimes even with a strong monoculture ideology, but also with a multicultural reality, the author asks himself what are the possibilities for a society that goes through transitional changes to, simultaneously with this changes, try to solve this, in its foundation, "postmodern" problem. This issue is particularly interesting for those societies or regions that already have a respectable experience of a multicultural (co)existence, as it is the case with Vojvodina. All that should primarily be done is to revise, renew and improve such a positive heritage. In that sense, the basic thesis of the author would be that if this is done at the appropriate time and in a proper manner, the transition itself will be completed more easily and with more success. By doing so differences could, from a potential burden and restriction, become some sort of advantage.
