Reconciliation by Stealth

The book by Denisa Kostovicova examines the consultations undertaken by civil society activists in former Yugoslavia between 2006 and 2011 that culminated in the Coalition for RECOM.

Days of mourning

The day of mourning would be legal if the events that took place in Kosovo correspond with the definition of severe misfortune. According to the available information, this is not the case.

New normal

The attack on Predrag Vostinic looks like just one in a series of events that flourish in a culture of violence and a system of impunity. Such events have become common – they happen once a month…

First-graders

Does today feel like a holiday? Some new people are arriving, all dressed up in their best clothes. All their relatives are around them, it’s been a while since the families saw such important persons.

Electoral intermezzo

There will be no election in September because Vucic cannot win it. It’s that simple. And he will never win another election in Belgrade again. If there is still opposition in Serbia. Which we can’t rely on.

War for our cause

If you love and respect General Draza Mihailovic, as a collaborator of the occupier, a war criminal, and a fighter for the Serbian cause, then you must also love and respect current war criminals like Putin.

Replacing the wrong minister

Although the party is undisputedly the highest authority in Serbia, the coincidence of the dismissal of Minister Basta and the absence of the dismissal of Minister Gasic is intriguing.

Normal people in turbulent times

We learned that SNS was the organizer of the “Serbia of Hope” rally, addressed by the party’s chief, as the state’s president informed us on their website, using public resources.

It’s up to us

DWP – Learning about the genocide in Srebrenica would enable young people to identify propaganda, misinformation, and hate speech, to understand the mechanisms and processes that lead to genocide.

Parallel worlds

If they really wanted to help, Bettel and Rutte would have first informed themselves about where they were going. They would have known that people in Serbia live like in a movie nightmare.

Guarantee of repetition

DwP – When asked if his prison sentence and the war were worth it, Dario Kordic replied: “I said it already, I would do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a second. Every second was worth it.”

Kosovar-Serbian grammar book

A grammar book for developing basic literacy on Serbian-Kosovo relations is nothing new: the only problem is that in this case the understanding is unpronounceable, inapplicable, and unimaginable.

Make a committee

The national assembly voted on 8 so-called prominent legal experts, future members of the judicial councils. The remaining 7 will be elected through the so-called five-member committee.

Operation Reka

It was not an operation at all. It was not a military action against enemy soldiers, nor did it have any military objective. The only targets were Albanian civilians from Kosovo and their property.

Mercy!

One would expect the president, deeply shaken by the wave of murderous violence of children against children and young people against young people, to say something about reconciliation…

Red alert

The timing of this mass shooting leads us to question its connection to the now decade-long rule of the neo-Radicals. That government, beyond a shadow of a doubt, is based on hatred and fear.

Ahmici, 30 years later

At dawn on April 16, 1993, members of the Military Police and the “Jokers”, a special unit of the Croatian Defense Council (HVO), attacked the central Bosnian village of Ahmici near Vitez.

Pressure

The institutions are still silent about the case of two female deputy prosecutors who complained that they were removed from their departments and harassed by the High Public Prosecutor.

Creative industries – Strpci

Brandy, wine, whey, and poetry festivals. Calf, furniture, book, and tractor fairs. The most valued word is creativity. Everything is creative now: capital, Karl Marx, cattle, managers, and advertisers.

Dodik’s anti-Yugoslav manifesto

Why is it unnecessary to listen to Milorad Dodik’s speeches on January 9th, which celebrates the establishment of Republika Srpska? Because he talks about the same things every year.

Logs

It seems that for thirty years the best thing that Serbs can think to do is erect barricades. Can we expect the barricades in Kosovo not to end up like the barricades around Knin? It’s hard to say…

Vulin in his own world

BIA got a new director. Gasic handed over all papers, keys and staff to Vulin. This seems to have woken up the opposition from their stupor, but their astonishment was very confusing.

Russia Today, Europe never

This should be the slogan of RT Balkan, the portal in Serbian launched by Russia Today TV, at the same time announcing a plan to begin broadcasting its program in Serbian by 2024.

Orlic’s reprimands

Rakic stood up and addressed the President of the Parliament Orlic and the ruling majority: “What children, exactly, are you concerned about? In the 1990s, you sent my classmates to war…”
