THE LETTER FROM FOUR
SERBIAN NON-GOVERNMENTAL
ORGANISATIONS TO EU
04/06/2007 , HCHRS
Serbia is again on the political agenda of both the EU and the
international community and its institutions. This time because of the Kosovo Status. The
international community is in a process of searching for the mechanism that could bring
Serbia to constrictive attitude within this process and to open an avenue for her
integration in the European processes, including the resumption of the talks on SAA

GENOCIDE
Press release
03/14/2007 , HCHRS
By publishing a special supplement to its issue of March 12, 2007,
titled “The Identity Card of Srebrenica,” the newsroom of the Belgrade-seated
Glas Javnosti daily wanted, as it put it, to bring before its readership “an
interesting study by Mr. Milivoj Ivanisevic that may stand for argumentation in the event
the Serbian parliament deliberates a declaration /on Srebrenica/” and thus at the
same time respond to “political advocates of all sorts of guilt that are being
ascribed to Serbia.” The Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia reminds that

IS THE STATE OF SERBIA WILLING TO PROTECT ALL ITS CITIZENS WITHOUT
EXCEPTION?

The assault by “a group of citizens” at the President of the
Democratic Association of the Roma and his activists on Tuesday, February 6, 2007, members
of the traffic police were not only watching passively but also inciting through remarks
of the “Those Gypsies have raised their heads too much” type is yet another in
the series of ominous events of the past 10-odd days testifying of the extent to which
fascist ideas and a distorted value system imbue the Serbian... |
MONSTRUOUS DECLINE OF ALL VALUE SYSTEMS
Press release
01/31/2007 , HCHRS
The murder of the 17-year-old Branko Nikolic monstrously testifies of
the decline of the value system among the great majority of young people. Aghast at the
brutality of that murder, the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia underlines
that authorized bodies’ legal measures against perpetrators are insufficient by
themselves since taking them should go without saying. Unfortunately, what is still not
taken for granted in Serbia are institutions that should finally and with full
responsibility cope with growing racism... |

AUTHORITIES TO SPEAK UP ABOUT SOCIALIST’S AND RADICAL’S
LATEST MESSAGES
Press release
12/06/2006 , HCHRS
The Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia accepts that –
even though they invoke the most disgraceful chapter of the history of Serbia - the
militant rhetoric and the failed warring program revived these days at the meetings of the
Socialist Party of Serbia and the Serbian Radical Party either as a political credo or a
“political testament” can be interpreted as means in election campaigning and
even as the inalienable right to free expression. However, the Committee reminds relevant
authorities of... |

Belgrade, 1. December 2006: The Group of 6 NGOs takes that NATO's
decision to offer Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Macedonia membership of the Partnership
for Peace is of crucial importance for the region's lasting stability. Collective regional

AND TIENANMEN
Press release
11/30/2006 , HCHRS
The Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia strongly protests
against the pressure the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Serbia and city authorities
exerted on the organizers of the Festival of Authorial Film “in the name of higher
state interests” and thus prevented screening of “The Summer Palace,” a
documentary dealing with one of the most brutal violations of human rights by a state in
late 20th century. As it welcomes the decision of the president of the Organizing
Committee of the Festival, Mr. Dinko Tucakovic, to... |

Sad yesterday, on the very International Day against Fascism and Anti-Semitism, indicates
