"Social policy as an instrument of social justice is nowadays in the focus of attention of scientists, politicians, economists and experts on strategies for the economic and technological development of society. Today, there is not a single modern society that is giving up the concept of social justice as one of its cornerstones. Naturally, different societies and different policies, depending on a whole series of social factors, understand the content and meaning of social justice in different ways, while the material possibilities and character of social organisation determine its objective achievements. Social justice today, just like throughout the entire history of humankind, has various meanings, is complex and accessible to a different degree. Social policy is a group of functionally-interconnected institutions and instruments through which social justice is exercised. This question of social justice – that is, of social policy – is often being opened in a specific and often highly conflicting way in transition countries, including Serbia. "
