摘要：Pistol shooter Jasna Šekarić is an athlete who has, in her exceptionally long sports career, competed under five different flags and for four different countries without ever changing her citizenship. The goal of this scientific research was to analyse the influence of sociopolitical circumstances on the perception of her sport success and the shaping of national identity during four periods (four countries for which Jasna Šekarić performed). We used Anthony D. Smith’s dichotomy of civic and ethnic nationalism as a theoretical framework. We assumed that socio-political circumstances could significantly influence the perception of a specific sport success, given the fact that the four observed periods witnessed huge social turbulence and ethnic and civic nationalism. In order to collect the necessary data to confirm the research hypothesis, the case study qualitative method was implemented. For the analysis of the case study, various methods were used – three semi-structured interviews with sports people involved and a discourse analysis (newspaper, magazine and online articles, different documents). The case study analysis confirmed the expected results. It was shown that socio-political circumstances indeed affected the perception of Jasna Šekarić’s sport success. Also, the results showed that in the four studied periods it was not possible to unambiguously identify characteristics of ethnic or civic nationalism.
