Abstract
The paper’s aim is to analyze the most important concepts related to identity (including ethnic identity), which are the causes and factors leading to ethno-political conflicts. The author seeks to give a deeper interpretation of the concept of identity, considering it in common features or peculiar properties, as well as separately highlighting its manifestations in a political context. The study analyzes ethnic identity and its constituent elements: religious, linguistic and cultural ties. This kind of approach makes it possible to identify those manifestations of ethnic identity that can serve as a cause for modern ethno-political conflicts.
