ALBANIANS IN
MONTENEGRO

May 2001

In the past decade inter-
ethnic relations in Montenegro were relatively satisfactory.1 In contrast to Serbia, members of minorities in Montenegro have never been physically harassed. Moreover members of Albanian national community in Montenegro, unlike their counterparts in Southern Serbia and Kosovo, have never been the victims of Miloševic regime. Although the problem of status and state of minorities in Montenegro...   More >>>

 

REPORT ON
CURRENT SITUATION IN
PRESEVO, BUJANOVAC
AND MEDVEDJA
MUNICIPALITIES

December 2000

Current developments in Southern Serbia are a logical upshot of a long-
standing policy of repression and discrimination against the local Albanian population. Reaction of the new authorities, almost identical to the one of the previous regime, clearly indicated its intention to consolidate its democratic image, notably in the international scene. But if one...   More >>>

 

REPORT ON
CURRENT SITUATION IN
PRESEVO, BUJANOVAC
AND MEDVEDJA
MUNICIPALITIES

April 2000

In recent months situation
in the three municipalities has deteriorated. Recurring conflicts between the police and armed Albanians indicate the lack of willingness to solve the pressing problems in a political manner. The
regime has to date ignored repeated appeals of local Albanians to stop the escalating repression and discrimination and to pull out military...   More >>>

 

REPORT ON RACIAL DISCRIMINATION

May 2001

Previously latent racial discrimination against
Roma and Jews, has recently become rampant, and commonplace.. It became a serious social problem after the 1997 murder of 14-year old
Roma boy by a group of Skinheads. The racially-
charged incidents grew in intensity since the second half of 1999. While the previous regime turned a blind eye to such incidents and there were no public protests against them, the new authorities...   More >>>

 

TRADE-UNIONS AFTER
THE POLITICAL
CHANGEOVER IN SERBIA
AND THEIR ROLE IN
TRANSITION

May 2001

Six months after the
political changeover in Serbia, it is increasingly evident that key changes shall come about with
some difficulty and gradually. This is best proved by situation in the trade-union movement, which is one of the prime movers of any transition. Paradoxically enough the broadest strata of population...   More >>>

 

REPORT ON THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM IN SERBIA

July 2001

One of the most important promises made by the opposition before coming
to power on October 5, 2001, was the establishment of a legal state, the introduction of the rule of law at all levels, the creation of an independent system of law courts, and thus also the
establishment of the responsibility of all those who had violated the law. In a state where, for ten years, decisions regarding life
and death...   More >>>

 

ALBANIANS IN KOSOVO

July 2001

The three leading political parties in Kosovo have an identical stand on the Albanian national issue. Currently it is the most "problematic" open national issue in Southern Balkans. Albanians inhabit a
compact territory embracing eastern parts of Montenegro, Southern Serbia, Kosovo and Western Macedonia. After the SFRY disintegration, they found themselves divided, against their will, in the two states, the FRY and Macedonia...   More >>>

 

ALBANIANS IN
MACEDONIA

July 2001

The fact that Macedonia
has been spared the kind
of conflict that ravaged Croatia, Bosnia-
Herzegovina and Kosovo has helped to create an illusion of a stable democratic state characterized by ethnic tolerance. The participation of Albanian national parties in the country's coalition governments and in its public life in general has
led many to believe erroneously that the Albanian...   More >>>

Following the Federal Government's decision on 20 April 2001 to join the Mine Ban Treaty, preparations for accession were launched by the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In April 2002, the Ministry said that the legislative proposal had been approved by the Federal Ministries of
Justice and Defense, and was before the Ministry of Finance. The government will then adopt the proposal and forward it to the Federal Assembly for...   More >>>

 

REPORT ON LAND
MINES 2001

International isolation of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) eased when a new government under the newly-elected President, Vojislav Koštunica, was installed in October 2000. One result of the sweeping political changes in FRY has been the readiness of the new authorities to enter into dialogue with the Yugoslav Campaign to Ban Landmines (YuCBL), as reflected in this report. At a cabinet meeting on 20 April 2001 in...   More >>>

 

REPORT ON LAND
MINES 2000

The FR of Yugoslavia has not acceded to the Mine Ban Treaty (MBT). On 11 January 2000 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained that "in spite of the expressed interest of the
FR of Yugoslavia to take part in the preparatory
stage for the Convention [MBT], it has not been given the opportunity to do so from the very outset. Having joined the negotiations at a later stage, it was not possible for the FR of Yugoslavia to make all necessary...   More >>>

 

REPORT ON LAND
MINES 1999

The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has not signed the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty. The only official statement about the Treaty was given by the Deputy of the
Minister of Foreign Affairs
in March 1998 at the
Budapest regional conference on
antipersonnel landmines
for countries from the Baltic and Balkan regions. The Deputy Minister said that the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has not signed or ratified any international conventions or...   More >>>
