EDITORIAL: KOSOVO FINALS
By Sonja Biserko
Resolution of Kosovo issue has entered its final stage.
Ahttisaari’s proposal is on the table of both Albanians and Serbs. As regards the
foregoing it is noticeable that Belgrade is evidently unaware of the fact that Kosovo
issue is one of the high-priority international issues, for that issue, like those recent
issues in Bosnia and Croatia, defines new rules and principles. Moreover those issues rely
on the existing principles of the UN Charter, Final Helsinki Act, and other international
documents. However... |

THE END OF NATIONAL ARROGANCE
By Dubravka Stojanovic
In the past weeks, particularly since Marrti Ahtisaari presented his
plan, we are witnessing the most incredible statements by Serbian officials dealing with
the future status of Kosovo. Be they "imaginative" or "threatening"
all those statements have a common denominator: the wording that prepares the Serbian
public for non-acceptance of the international community's decision. And once again, like
in the past, all those statements are referring to an imaginary Kosovo only. No one... |

KOSOVO FINALS: THE REALITIES WE DESPISE
By Bojan Al Pinto Brkic
The wise leadership’s initiative to have the final round of
consultations on the future status of Kosovo postponed for ten days has been accepted.
Unfortunately, other initiatives by the wise leadership have not been accepted although
prepared with the same dose of seriousness and self-sacrifice. The official Belgrade
almost unanimously assesses that the international community will once again realize its
mistakes... |
KOSOVO FINALS: WHO RAPES SERBIA INDEED?
By Ivan Torov
Oh, how agitated the advocates and interpreters of “our”
repeated NO turned when Maarti Ahtisaari, “laconically and so typical of him,”
said “Serbs and Albanians could negotiate on Kosovo for hundred years without
reaching any single agreement!” They even deployed the heaviest ideological, media
and patriotic artillery that was so abundantly used in “the Golden Age of our
struggle for liberation in 1990s.”... |

POST-ELECTORAL MIRROR: IT ALL DEPENDS ON WOMEN
By Slobodanka Ast
The past elections, the percentage of women in the republican
parliament and their actual engagement in political life just mirror the overall situation
in Serbia, her patriarchal political culture and lagging behind today’s civilization.
Neglected, let down and deceived…This was how the great majority of the media summed
up women’s score in the parliamentary elections this year. Statistically speaking,
the newly constituted National... |
ARMY AND STATE: WHAT ARE PARTISANS FOR?
By Stipe Sikavica
In ex-Yugoslavia the army was also marking its “days,” i.e.
holidays, but that matters no longer today. Why is it so? It matters not, they say,
because that was not a Serbian but some alien, that is a Yugoslav army. Well, it makes no
difference that this foreign army included “representatives of all our peoples and
nationalities” rather than just Serbs and Montenegrins (i.e. Serbs from Montenegro by
nationalistic code)... |

KOSOVO FINALS: MICKEY MOUSE IN PRISHTINA
By Teofil Pancic
Serbia in early 2007: the more serious situation becomes the less sense
“a serious discourse” makes. How can that be possible? Well, it is. See, all
major actors at domestic political scene are making gloomy faces and pompously crying at
the top of their lungs. But if you take a closer look, you’ll see those people are
staging some vaudeville or operetta rather than taking things seriously... |
BETWEEN STATUS AND EVERYDAY LIFE
By Velimir Curgus Kazimir
In Serbia, Kosovo is constantly the print media's hot topic. The same
refers to the broadcast media. The only difference is that the latter talk about it,
rather than write. The monthly average of 600 stories dealing with Kosovo spirals when it
comes to the issue of status. Future plans or plans for development are not the topics
that capture the attention of reporters or their readership. Only some 10 percent of
newspaper stories tackle... |
