July - August 2006

 

EDITORIAL: ANTI-EUROPEAN DETOUR

By Sonja Biserko

Suspension of negotiations with EU largely brought about telescoping of developments which utterly laid bare the anti-EU policy of the incumbent Serb authorities. Simulation of negotiations on status of Kosovo and unwillingness to apprehend Ratko Mladic and other Hague indictees have however compelled the international community to clearly define situation in Serbia. Unsuccessful negotiating process compelled Martii Ahtisari...   More >>>

 

ACCELERATION OF SELF-SEGREGATION: QUEST FOR AN ALTERNATIVE

By Bojan Al Pinto Brkic

Montenegro has recently opted for independence. Decision on the future status of Kosovo shall be soon announced. Instead of grappling with true challenges, the Serb political elite is now considering some strange alternatives. Unwilling to discuss it own reponsibility for humiliating and terrible results of alleged national policy, it consciously posptones elections and also definition of every relation which could...   More >>>

 

ACCELERATION OF SELF-SEGREGATION: ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HISTORY

By Nikola Samardzic

Cold and eery speech of totalitarianism, which ought to have been irreversibly relegated to the near past, is once again in use in Serbia. Official and semi-official collectivism, under the pretext of the return to tradition, seems to be relying on quasi/mock historicism of 20th century totalitarian ideologies. As early as in 1993 Zbignyev Bzezinsky concluded that the 20t century was "the bloodiest and most...   More >>>

ON THE EVE OF KOSOVO-RELATED DECISION: STRONGMAN'S GAMES

By Miroslav Filipovic

Story about Kosovo is slowly ending in the only possibly way it could end. Serbs have lost the Kosovo battle six centuries ago, and now they are losing the current Kosovo battle. Like in the distant past, Kosovo is indefensible now, and those who defend it do it in such a wrong way, that they are in fact pushing it away every day. In a short while, because of a catastrophically bad and detrimental policy of Belgrade...   More >>>

 

"STORM" AND COMMENTS: OFFENCE AGAINST THE TABOO

By Teofil Pancic

Cheerful countenances of President and Prime Minister of Croatia at the anniversary celebration of victory, and gloomy ones of President and Prime Minister of Serbia at the anniversary mass for victims. That was the scene this August, like in previous Augusts, since that early August 1995 when the \"military action \'Storm\'\" took place. Who would ever guess that those people were in fact marking the...   More >>>

 

HEGEMONY OF ANTI-ANTI-FASCISM: LEGALIZATION OF NATIONAL ANTI-FASCISM

By Todor Kuljic

Anti-Fascism, anti-Communism, anti-Capitalism and anti-Totalitarianism, ideological patterns which shaped up sociological thinking in the 20th century, are still active. As historical experience which shaped up those patterns grows more distant, the scope of their ideological use seems to be expanding. That anti-Fascism is a good example of the foregoing is is best proved...   More >>>
