Hans-Gert Pöttering: José Manuel Barroso: EU and Russia
politicsenvironment 10 culturebusinesssports 2008 Hans-Gert Pöttering: Slovenia makes history in the EU - first Slavic country in the driving seat José Manuel Barroso: I consider that this Presidency has been for Slovenia a highlight in the impressive list of achievements EU and Russia Agree to launch key partnership talks ISSN 1854-0805 QUotESoftHEfortnight Janez Janša /Slovene PM/: We have achieved moves towards a better Europe with synergy Brussels, 24 June - With synergy with the European Commission and the European Parliament, we have in the past six months achieved moves which have made Europe better. These moves prove that Europe is dynamic, that it works and that it is capable of facing difficulties. It was possible to take these steps forward because of good collaboration and synergy between institutions. “Si.nergy for Europe” is the motto that Slovenia chose as a guideline for its first Presidency of the EU. Graham Watson /Leader of European liberals (ALDE)/: Slovenia made a mark Brussels, 24 June: “I congratulate the Slovenian Presidency on its achievements. If some had a feeling that it was just a warm-up be- fore the Presidency of the next state, those of us who looked closer saw important progress. Slovenia made a mark. As the most impor- tant achievement, I would point out the ratification of the directive on the return of illegal residents, which is the first cornerstone of EU immigration policy. As one of the successes, I would emphasise especially the fifth freedom, the directive on environment protection under criminal law, and postal services, and progress on the West- ern Balkans. -
The Case of Slovenia
“A Short History of Quotas in Slovenia” Sonja Lokar Chair, Gender Task Force of the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe A paper presented at the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA)/CEE Network for Gender Issues Conference The Implementation of Quotas: European Experiences Budapest, Hungary, 22–23 October 2004 The Communist-dominated Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia was formed after the Second World War. Slovenia became the most developed of its six federal republics, gaining independence in the early 1990s. This case study looks at the participation of women in Slovenia before and after the break-up of the Former Yugoslavia, and examines the evolution of quota provisions that have been implemented to secure women’s participation in decision-making. Background Women in Slovenia were granted the universal right to vote for the first time in 1945, along with equality with men. At the beginning of the 1970s, some of Yugoslavia’s strongest Communist women leaders were deeply involved in the preparations for the first United Nations (UN) World Conference on Women in Mexico. They were clever enough to persuade old Communist Party leaders, Josip Broz Tito and his right-hand man Edvard Kardelj, that the introduction of the quota for women—with respect to the decision-making bodies of all political organizations and delegate lists—had implications for Yugoslavia’s international reputation.1 Communist women leaders worked hard to make Socialist Yugoslavia a role model (in terms of the emancipation of -

Political History of the Balkans (1989–2018) This Page Intentionally Left Blank POLITICAL HISTORY of the BALKANS (1989–2018) Edited by József Dúró – Zoltán Egeresi
The Balkan Peninsula has played a crucial role in human history many times. The region framed the 20th century. The end of the Political History of the Balkans Cold War also had a significant effect on the region as it resulted (1989–2018) in bloody wars, economic collapse and complicated political transitions. The 2000s and 2010s opened the way towards EU membership, as many countries received candidate status and launched accession negotiations – however, this process has recently been facing obstacles. Political History This volume provides a general overview of the Post-Cold War history of the Balkans and explores the dynamics behind these tremendous changes ranging from democratic transitions to EU prospects. The authors describe the transitional period, the evolution of the political system and highlight the most important of the Balkans political developments in each country in the region. We recommend this book to those who seek a deeper insight into the recent history of the Balkans and a deeper understanding of its political developments.

Dimitrij Rupel: In the sphere of foreign policy, the central priority of the Slovenian Presidency is undoubtedly ensuring a European future for the Western Balkans Economic crime: Criminal investigation in construction companies ISSN 1854-0805 QuotESoftHEfortnight Darijan Košir (Daily Delo): Modern Slovenia a product of Janez Drnovπek 's work, Ljubljana, 25 February: Slovenia has lost one of its few true statesmen and a politician who greatly in- fluenced events in the country over the past 20 years. Much of what modern Slovenia is, is the work of deceased Former Presi- dent and Prime Minister Janez Drnovπek . He will be a role model for Slovenian politicians for years to come. Drnovπek helped to create Slovenia with moderate, tolerant and gradual policies. Drnovπek made his name abroad by being different than all the other Yugoslav leaders before him. This had such an impact that it opened many doors later, when Slovenia needed them opened to join Europe. Javier Solana /High Representative for Common Foreign and Se- curity Policy/: The EU mission will operate throughout the whole of Kosovo, Priπtina, 19 February: The EU Mission in Kosovo (Eulex) will perform its duties throughout the whole of Kosovo. The European Union strives for the European perspective of all Balkan countries. I call upon the people of Kosovo to direct their joy, which they showed during the celebration of the independ- ence declaration, into positive energy for further political and economic development, respect for minorities, as well as their own and common cultural heritage. -
