Freedom of artistic expression and political correctness are often intertwined, not only in countries characterised by past trauma, as is the case of the countries of the former Yugoslavia; nevertheless, the complex relationship between them surpasses regional scope. As open dialogue is often limited by the level of freedom allowed by the given society and often ends up as an elitist or forum exercise in freedom of expression, authors often take on the role of self-censor. Does freedom of artistic expression start where political correctness ends, or do they need to co-exist to safeguard their primary tasks?
