Helsinki Charter No. 93-94

March - April 2006

 

INSTEAD OF EDITORIAL:
COLLECTIVE DENIAL

By Sonja Biserko

Slobodan Milosevic's death was a major catalyst for Serbia's mindset. The manner in which the Kostunica cabinet reacted to it clearly demonstrated how close to the Premier's heart, policy and ideology Milosevic's regime had been. It also disclosed how much the Premier leaned on the Socialist Party of Serbia's support and how unwilling he was to distance...   More >>>

 

A STEP OUT OF EUROPE: HAVING A NICE CUP OF COFFEE WITH RATKO

By Teofil Pancic

By paraphrasing a well-know expression of spontaneous humor of the desperate, one might describe the tactics of the negotiations between the EU and Serbian officials on extradition of Ratko Mladic & Co. - conditioning Serbia's association with this organization - as follows: "They make make-believe promises to have him extradited by this day or other, and we pretend to believe...   More >>>

 

A STEP OUT OF EUROPE: KETMANS OF THE NEW ERA

By Bojan Al Pinto Brkic

As has become our custom we celebrated the May Day - eleventh since Ratko Mladic had been indicted for the most horrible of war crimes - completely relaxed.

That was a long, often distressing and usually...   More >>>

 

BEFORE THE WAR CRIMES TRIBUNAL: SUFFICIENTLY PROVED CHARGES

By Dunja Melcic

September 2002, which marked the beginning of the trial to Slobodan Milosevic, was a historical date: for the first time in Europe, a head of a state appeared as a defendant before an international tribunal. The second, ensuing historical event, namely the court verdict - as already known - went missing. Milosevic, a hypertonic with heart problems, died only about ten court days...   More >>>

 

FATE OF THE STATE UNION: REFERENDUM, LIES AND VIDEO TAPES

By Igor Peric

The citizens of Montenegro have the chance to take the issue of state/legal status off the agenda by voting either way at the 21st May referendum. The preparations are in full swing: voting material is acquired, campaign is well under way, field campaigners work around the clock - in a word, the atmosphere is there. The problem is that in view of the awkward election model, the...   More >>>
