EDITORIAL: ANTI-EUROPEAN
DETOUR
By Sonja Biserko
Suspension of negotiations with EU largely brought about telescoping of
developments which utterly laid bare the anti-EU policy of the incumbent Serb authorities.
Simulation of negotiations on status of Kosovo and unwillingness to apprehend Ratko Mladic
and other Hague indictees have however compelled the international community to clearly
define situation in Serbia. Unsuccessful negotiating process compelled Martii Ahtisari... |

ACCELERATION OF
SELF-SEGREGATION: QUEST FOR AN ALTERNATIVE
By Bojan Al Pinto Brkic
Montenegro has recently opted for independence. Decision on the future
status of Kosovo shall be soon announced. Instead of grappling with true challenges, the
Serb political elite is now considering some strange alternatives. Unwilling to discuss it
own reponsibility for humiliating and terrible results of alleged national policy, it
consciously posptones elections and also definition of every relation which could... |
ACCELERATION OF SELF-SEGREGATION:
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF HISTORY
By Nikola Samardzic
Cold and eery speech of totalitarianism, which ought to have been
irreversibly relegated to the near past, is once again in use in Serbia. Official and
semi-official collectivism, under the pretext of the return to tradition, seems to be
relying on quasi/mock historicism of 20th century totalitarian ideologies. As early as in
1993 Zbignyev... |
ACCELERATION OF SELF-ISOLATION:
ON CREEPING ANTI-EUROPEISM
By Velimir Curgus Kazimir

ON THE EVE OF KOSOVO-RELATED DECISION: STRONGMAN'S GAMES
By Miroslav Filipovic
Story about Kosovo is slowly ending in the only possibly way it could
end. Serbs have lost the Kosovo battle six centuries ago, and now they are losing the
current Kosovo battle. Like in the distant past, Kosovo is indefensible now, and those who
defend it do it in such a wrong way, that they are in fact pushing it away every day. In a
short while, because of a catastrophically bad and detrimental policy of Belgrade
nationalists, Kosovo shall become a sovereign state probably in few months... |
”STORM” AND COMMENTS:
OFFENCE AGAINST THE TABOO
By Teofil Pancic
Cheerful countenances of President and Prime Minister of Croatia at the
anniversary celebration of victory, and gloomy ones of President and Prime Minister of
Serbia at the anniversary mass for victims. That was the scene this August, like in
previous Augusts, since that early August 1995 when the \"military action
\'Storm\'\" took place. Who would ever guess that those people were in fact marking
the same event/anniversary? Well, we have learnt from anthropological anecdotes about
primitive tribes that their... |
HEGEMONY OF ANTI-ANTI-FASCISM: LEGALIZATION OF NATIONAL ANTI-FASCISM
By Todor Kuljic
Anti-Fascism, anti-Communism, anti-Capitalism and anti-Totalitarianism,
ideological patterns which shaped up sociological thinking in the 20th century, are still
active. As historical experience which shaped up those patterns grows more distant, the
scope of their ideological use seems to be expanding. That anti-Fascism is a good example
of the foregoing is is best proved by its diverse emphasis and also by its denial, that
is, anti-Fascism... |
