Helsinki Charter No. 107-108

May - June 2007

 

SERBIA HAS TO BEHAVE REALISTICALLY

By Sonja Biserko

Serbia got a new cabinet after the three-month bargaining over its composition. The agreement on the DS-DSS coalition was reached before the January 21 election. It was reached in the informal circle of Dobrica Cosic who gave his blessing to both Kostunica and Tadic. Basically, the new cabinet is what Serbia is - no more and no less. Serbia's political landscape was laid bare in the week before the cabinet was formed. Vojislav Kostunica's attempt to once more scare the world with the...    More >>>

 

HOW DEEP IN TROUBLE ARE WE?

By Bojan al Pinto-Brkic

Premier Kostunica's new cabinet, enthusiastic and dynamic as it is (and quite unlike his previous one), managed to take, in the first month of its mandate, two out of eight steps towards resolution of a decade-long problem. It extradited Zdravko Tolimi and Vlastimir Djordjevic to the tribunal in The Hague.

Russia has to make a key choice - if it exercises the power of veto and the United States and the European Union recognize Kosovo nevertheless, Russia will be left isolated and ashamed, while its stand on Kosovo proclaimed empty-worded muscle-showing. Once formally proclaimed independent Kosovo will still remain in the same place and will be "ours" inasmuch as we smoothly communicate with Kosovo authorities. That...    More >>>

 

Serbia and Kosovo in Big Powers' Hug

VOLUNTARY MERCHANDISES TO BARGAIN WITH?

By Ivan Torov

Despite the international community's optimistic announcements, assessments and promises of some six or so months ago that the chapter of the final or some other status of Kosovo would be closed relatively soon and without major turmoil, things have considerably changed in the meantime. As if the process of untangling the Kosovo knot has lately taken such course and proportions that its outcome became hardly predictable...   More >>>
