Helsinki Charter No. 101-102

November - December 2006

 

EDITORIAL: MORAL CHALLENGE

By Sonja Biserko

The year about to pass was the year of consolidation of the Balkans' stability. Serbia was a major consideration of the process due to her fluid situation and great dilemma: whether to opt for the West of the East (Russia). Serbia remained hostage to political insecurity mostly caused by her stalled cooperation with the tribunal in The Hague. Actually, Serbia put an end to that cooperation. Therefore, the fact that the EU cancelled the association and stabilization negotiations with Serbia did not...   More >>>

 

PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS 2007:
DELUSIONS, LABOR LOST AND TRICKS

By Teofil Pancic

Last December was really hard on all, and a still harder January awaits us. Everything aspiring to rule Serbia in the four years to come is running to and fro, making promises and endearing citizens. The whole Serbia resembles a fair of jugglery and acrobatics. Everybody exerts himself to sell his cheap merchandise at highest price possible. Well, that circus makes up unavoidable side-effect of the picturesque parliamentary democracy a la South. And we...   More >>>

 

PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS 2007: WHAT IS IT WE GET WITH THE RADICALS AT THE HELM?

By Bojan Al Pinto Brkic

It seems rather strange that the party offering voters a turn to Russia, China and some African and Latin-American countries may win the elections in Serbia in early 2007. Even stranger than that is that its voters expect it to put an end to corruption, the global plague, which is probably at its worst in the above-mentioned countries. The party promises a radical betterment to be attained through the abolishment of several good...   More >>>

 

PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS 2007: IMAGES OF LIFE AND DELUSION

By Velimir Curgus Kazimir

How should one keep his senses in a madhouse? By pretending to be there just temporarily? This is how people have been living over here for more than fifteen years. Every new electoral contest in Serbia only adds to that feeling of temporariness. In a way, temporariness has become a key national trait. All that is constant in some crazy way is the double role of the media. Serbian media, newspapers in particular, are both a stronghold of democracy and its very...   More >>>

 

SOUTH SERBIA AND KOSOVO: THE NOBLE PRINCE'S CURSE

By Miroslav Filipovic

Some aspects of the solution to the Kosovo status might undermine the peace in the Valley. Serbs nostalgically recall the time when, not long ago, a Serbian tank was parked in the Kosovo Street in Bujanovac. Your eyes see what your soul longs for. Every now and then, people start discussing the rebellion in Kosovo and the ensuing massive, unofficial draft in keeping with noble Prince Lazar Hrebeljanovic\'s curse, "Whoever fails to show up in the battle for...   More >>>

 

STUDIES ON (ANTI)FASCISM: COLLECTIVE SUPPRESSION OF ANTI-FASCISM

By Nikola Samardzic

Assessment of totalitarian legacy makes a part of today's European identity. In this sense, Europeanization emerges from de-Nazification. In general sense of the term, de-Nazification implies a break-up with totalitarianism, something more sincere and heartfelt than simple denial. In Europe\'s contemporary political culture de-Nazification was a long and painful process of confronting not only the trends that had...   More >>>
