Opening
The opening of this article needs some work. It doesn't seem to be able to give a clear definition. After that, it talks about myths, as if the myths were closely related to a national identity. If there are sources to support that the national identity is merely based on myths, it's another matter, but I don't think it's easy to prove that. National identity is based on a lot of factors, but only the myths are mentioned. MorenaReka (talk) 21:05, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
Other issues
- "...In the 19th century, the Serbian national identity was manifested, with awareness of history and tradition, medieval heritage, cultural unity, despite living under different empires..."
It seems like this sentence is unsupported: it would look as if before the 19th century there was no Serbian identity. A rephrasing would be good.
- "...An international self-esteem survey titled...Serbia was placed first of the most self-esteemed nation".
Can someone check this and explain how would this relate to the national identity?MorenaReka (talk) 21:10, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
