Helsinki Charter No. 91-92

January - February 2006

 

EDITORIAL: "WE SHALL TAKE VENGEANCE AGAINST THE TURKS"

By Sonja Biserko

For Serbia and her political elite 2006 is a crucial year - as it seems, the international community has finally decided to pull the plug on the Yugoslav crises, i.e. on dissolution of the former SFRY. Pending statuses of Kosovo and Montenegro have kept alive the illusion that the Greater Serbia project, i.e. Serbia's territorial aspirations were sustainable. It goes without saying that bringing the dissolution process to an end implies the pressure on Serbia to fully cooperate with The Hague...   More >>>

 

MLADIC GAMES: CRIME OF ALL CRIMES

By Bojan Al Pinto Brkic

In case someone's forgotten, Ratko Mladic was an anonymous officer of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA), artillery commander in Skopje, likely to be revealed to a decent man only as a name in Politika's obituaries. Born in Kalinovik, a cadet of military-industry school who subsequently specialized in logistics and served in a system wherein the army was the guardian of the constitutional order (i.e. plurality of self-management interests of the republics' elites), he would have made a lt. colonel or full colonel, go about his duties in a...   More >>>

 

KOSOVO AND SERBIA: WINKING TO THE BLIND

By Miroslav Filipovic

The European achievement is seen in the following: the question for the 21 May referendum...   More >>>

 

THE RADICALS' PRANKS AND SKYLARKING WITH USTASHI: ORGANIZED WASTE OF TIME

By Teofil Pancic

Though Ante Pavelic has been pickling in Hell many a long day, the supporters of his criminal soldiership are still mushrooming. The matter is by itself strange enough, actually weird and demonic. But what's even more incredible than a genocidal Phalange's posthumous "offspring" is the fact these new Ustashi are mostly recruited - in Serbia. Out of all places in the world! The spooky Pavelic certainly perceives this fact as a...   More >>>

 

SERBIA AND TRANSITION: STORIES FROM THE UNDERWORLD

By Slobodanka Ast

In freezing cold, a regular police patrol found some wretched girls actually living in a manhole, in our midst, in the Center of Belgrade. The media were "surprised and shocked", the cameras arrived, the children were taken care of and, as it usually happens here, only three days after the horrible story from the underworld was all forgotten. In this town and in this country, child poverty is obvious at every step, and the moving media story is also a...   More >>>
