Although Vukovar is an ethnically divided city we presume that division(s) lacks any strong geographical (or territorial) aspect. Regardless of the lack of physical obstacles in the urban structure of the city, the research presents multilevel divisions that are visible in a form of imagined boundaries. The case study of Vukovar is interesting because war legacy influenced new local policies and politics open border issues affect bilateral relations on State level and micro-regional frictions show deep identity-based divisions. Since each case of divided cities is driven by different factors and consists of different manifestations, case study design is the most appropriate one for researching micro-divisions in this post-conflict area. This paper seeks to answer to what extent the city of Vukovar is divided and in which way this division is geographically imagined and embedded in everyday life.
