SERB-SERB
DIALOGUE IN SERB ENCLAVES IN KOSOVO |
 |
The project
encourages the Serbs in the enclaves south of the Ibar River that make 70 percent of the
total Serbian population in Kosovo to fully exercise their human, minority, socio-economic
and political rights through Kosovo institutions instead of remaining on the margins of
Kosovo society and a window-dressing for the official Belgrade's territorial claims. At
the same time, the proposal sensitizes general public in Serbia proper, as well as the
Serbs in the solidly Serbian north of realistic needs, anxieties and interests of their
compatriots living in self-isolation in the final stage of Kosovo's course to
independence. To accomplish these objectives, the project on the one hand clarifies for
the Serbs in enclaves both the realities and the avenues for economic prosperity and
representation of their interests, and, on the other, encourages impartial media coverage
of the problematic. For that purpose it brings together members of liberally oriented
intelligentsia, i.e. people with knowledge and understanding of the realities, from Serbia
proper and some of their Albanian counterparts on the one hand, and the people from
inasmuch as possible Serb enclaves in Kosovo on the other for at least 16 informal,
inter-active and thought-provoking meetings, and offers challenging opportunities for
media professionals.
This six-month project is realized with the assistance of the
Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

period has been revolving around two key points, that is, two key problems. That is: a)
problems stemming from an embryo or emerging state and b) problems generated by economic
situation (read: recession) a) The first problem on the internal-political plane is
incompleteness of the process of Kosovo's independence-gaining... MS Word (299kb)
