CONCLUSIONS

1. This scientific conference has made-known the ethnic character and ethnic particularity of Goranies and has pointed to the present-day existence and survival problems as of Goranies, so of Turks and unfortunately not enough studied Muslims of the Sredska District;

2. It will be useful to organize similar scientific conferences that could be devoted to other ethnic groups. Scientists and Serbs living in the neighboring countries should be encouraged to commence common talks;

3. The Proceedings of the Conference should be published in the Serbian, English and Russian languages in order to acquaint our and foreign professional and general public with their contents and to send them to all those capable of and willing to help Serbia in stabilization of the situation in the Balkans;

4. Responsible institutions of the Republic of Serbia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia should be informed of the current conference results.
