Applying the 'accessibility x fit' lens from the field of social identity theory, an increase in salience has meant that national identity has become a more 'accessible' and more 'fitting' form of social identity. Fieldwork was conducted in Novi Pazar in June/July of 2019, with a total of 18 semi-structured interviews conducted, both one-on-one and group, involving 25 individuals. National identity was found to be more accessible and more fitting mainly in the areas of differentiation from the outgroup, religion and national symbols. This research makes an original contribution to the understudied region of the Sandžak, a complex region which warrants greater academic attention. 1
