Continu- ing ethno-centric argumentation in the discourses of the local political leadership and partly dysfunctional state institutions have produced a standstill in the process of bringing Bosnia and Herzegovina nearer to ”positive peace”. As a consequence of continuous antagonism and mistrust Bosnia and Herzegovina still seems to be far away from NATO and in particular EU membership. The planned transformation of the international presence from a (de facto) protectorate power towards a presence supporting mainly Bosnia and Herzegovina’s integration into the EU is hindered. Alarmed by this critical situation EU representatives have declared 2009 of becoming ”Bosnia’s Year”. A workshop of the Study Group Regional Stability in South East Europe of the PfP Consortium of Defence Academies and Security Studies Insti- tutes, held at the Chateau Rothschild in Reichenau, 24-26 April 2009, dealt with the difficulties in the Bosnian state- and peace-building pro- cess. As it has been also the case in the previous workshops of this study group Balkan insiders from the research community, NGO’s and IGO’s, the security sector as well as from the media and civil society groups discussed from different perspectives, but in a very productive atmos- phere the challenges for reducing security problems and fostering a co- operative development in the region. Having been supported by the Austrian hosts and coordinators of the study group, the Institute for Peace Support and Conflict Management at the National Defence Academy and the Directorate for Security Policy of the Ministry for Defence and Sports, the Reichenau participants fo- cused on the necessities in terms of political, security, economic and educational means to finally reach a breakthrough in Bosnia and Herze- govina that will lead to self-sustainability, EU and NATO membership. 5 The editors are pleased to present the readers in this publication most of the analyses and recommendations from the Reichenau meeting on Bos- nia and Herzegovina and would appreciate if this study group informa- tion could contribute to generate positive ideas for supporting this im- portant Western Balkan country. Ernst M. Felberbauer Predrag Jureković Frederic Labarre 6 Welcome Speech Johann Pucher Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Friends and Partners within the PfP Consortium, It is a pleasure for me to welcome you here on behalf of the Austrian Ministry of Defence at the already 18th Workshop of the PfP Consortium Study Group on ”Regional Stability in South East Europe” also this year. The Austrian Ministry of Defence appreciates very much to see so many well-known and well-respected faces here in Reichenau representing national and international organisations being active in the Western Bal- kans. As co-organiser, we, equally, if not more importantly, appreciate the presence of representatives and experts from the countries in the region. A warm welcome also to many friends I personally have had the privi- lege to meet over the past years. The Austrian Ministry of Defence has been a member of the PfP Consor- tium since 2000. Our main focus within the Consortium rests on its work in the Study Group Regional Stability in South East Europe. May I ex- tend my sincere congratulation to Predrag Jureković from the Austrian National Defence Academy, to Professor Pantev from Bulgaria and to Professor Staničić from Croatia, for having guided the work of the Study Group for so many years. The MOD remains fully committed to the Consortium’s mission, both with two workshops organised throughout the year, a larger one hosted here in Reichenau and a regional one with one of our cooperation part- 7 ners. I would especially like to thank the Center for Security Studies in Belgrade, which co-organised a very important meeting right after Ser- bia’s reopening to the EU in October 2008. In that sense I would equally like to welcome representatives from the Albanian Institute for International Studies in Tirana, the partner institu- tion for the upcoming workshop in September 2009 in Albania. Austria as a direct neighbour of the Western Balkan countries has strong cultural, personal and economic ties in respect to the region. The new Austrian government has clearly underlined the continous importance of that region for Austria. Consequently, as far as the political processes in the region and the CFSP are concerned, Austria is among those EU member countries that strongly support a speedy integration of all Western Balkan countries into the EU, based on their own merits. This is underlined by having accepted important positions in the region: let me mention Ambassador Almhöfer as Head of the OSCE Mission in Kosovo, and last but not least the OHR/EUSR, Ambassador Inzko. Austria highly welcomes that in the meanwhile all the Western Balkan countries have signed the Stabilisation and Association Agreement. The next logic step after the finalization of the SAA ratification would be the opening of negotiations with all Western Balkan countries on EU- membership. However, there are still disturbing factors, slowing down the process. One such example is the border conflict between Slovenia and Croatia. One only can appeal on the leaders in the region to look into the future and do their utmost to overcome the heritage of the past. We are strong supporters for finalizing the membership negotiations with Croatia as soon as possible. But all moral and political support is in vain if the countries do not move themselves. 8 As you are aware of Austria has been engaged in Peace Support Opera- tions since 1996, when Austrian soldiers first took part in the IFOR mis- sion, followed by our contribution to SFOR and later to KFOR. We stand committed to the EUFOR ALTHEA and KFOR and will not unilaterally withdraw. Austria is of the opinion that the time is not yet ripe to close down ALTHEA. Actually we are the biggest non NATO contributor in KFOR with more than 700 soldiers deployed there. Addi- tionally we contribute to the Operational Reserve Force, which is sta- tioned outside the region to assist EUFOR ALTHEA as well as KFOR, if called upon. But there are signs on the wall. Some nations are pressing for withdraw- als; some have done it unilaterally already. Resources are urgently re- quired outside the region. It seems that some nations are loosing patience gradually. If we do not manage the process and end it halfway, we all will have to pay a price: the peoples, the nations in the region and Europe as a whole. I would also like to refer to Austria’s engagement in the dimension Jus- tice and Home Affairs in SEE. DCAF – and I see Ambassador Gregor Zore who coordinates the effort – and the Austrian Ministry of Interior have been engaged in supporting the Police Cooperation Convention for Southeast Europe. This is a project of outstanding importance that has the potential to change police and border police issues in SEE towards European standards over the next years, which are the first steps neces- sary towards Visa liberalisation, and a possible future Schengen mem- bership. We all are aware how important visa liberalisation is for the people in the region. Austria has profited a lot from its activities in the PfP, which our country is a member of since 1995. Having this positive experience in mind we want to suggest to our friends in the region to use membership in PfP to develop their co-operation in the military field. We also welcome Croa- tia’s and Albania’s accession to NATO at the last NATO summit, al- though Austria itself is not planning to become a member of the alliance. 9 We hope that Macedonia and Greece can find a resolution for their name dispute, so that also Macedonia can join NATO very soon. This mem- bership would be an additional essential stabilizing factor in the region. As regards to Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH): further development there, which will be the main topic of this workshop, is a crucial challenge for the EU’s CFSP.

  • Analyzing Ethnocentric Immigration Through the Case of Hungary – Demographic Effects of Immigration from Neighboring Countries to Hungary
    Journal of Ethnic and Cultural Studies Copyright 2021 2021, Vol. 8, No. 4, 128-153 ISSN: 2149-1291 http://dx.doi.org/10.29333/ejecs/857 Analyzing Ethnocentric Immigration through the Case of Hungary – Demographic Effects of Immigration from Neighboring Countries to Hungary Márton Péti1 Research Institute for National Strategy, Corvinus University of Budapest, Hungarian Laura Szabó and Csilla Obádovics Hungarian Demographic Research Institute, Hungarian Balázs Szabó and Dávid Csécsi Research Institute for National Strategy, Hungarian Abstract: Specific ethnocentric international migration processes can be observed in Hungary: a significant proportion of immigrants are of Hungarian ethnic background and come from neighboring countries. Similar processes can be observed between other kin- states and co-ethnic communities of Central and Eastern Europe, but this type of migration has not been studied intensively yet. The focus of the research is on the effects of this immigration on Hungarian society and the economy. Population projections were also carried out according to two research questions: “what would have happened if the immigrants had not arrived according to the processes that were experienced?” and “what will happen if the immigration process changes?” The research is based on the 2011 census data sets; the target group is the population born in neighboring countries that moved to Hungary after 1985. Results show that the ethnic Hungarian immigrant population has been a crucial human resource in Hungary. Without these immigrants, Hungary's demographic trends would also be less favorable. Moreover, in contrast to the situation typical of European immigrants, the socio-economic situation of the former is more favorable than of the host society.

  • Essay on Development Policy Diaspora Skills for Bosnia And
    Essay on Development Policy Diaspora skills for Bosnia and Herzegovina’s development – reviewing existing approaches and contemplating new ideas, with a focus on Switzerland’s Bosnian diaspora Lea Zanola MAS 2010 - 2012 NADEL - Centre for Development and Cooperation, ETH Zurich March 2012 Diaspora skills for Bosnia and Herzegovina’s development – reviewing existing approaches and contemplating new ideas, with a focus on Switzerland’s Bosnian diaspora By Lea Zanola, March 2012 This paper deals with the development approach of diaspora engagement, which is becoming increasingly important within the global migration and development debate. It summarizes and critically discusses main efforts that have been made in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) towards diaspora contribution to the country’s development via skills and knowledge transfer. It highlights the need for a systematic approach and identifies a one-sided orientation of projects and research towards the scientific diaspora and university graduates. While focusing on the Bosnian diaspora living in Switzerland, the paper further contemplates opportunities and challenges for projects in the field of vocational and practical skills transfer. MIGRANTS AS AGENTS OF DEVELOPMENT For the last few years, migration and development have no longer been considered separate, but interlinked and complementary issues. By and by, the focus of the debate has shifted from the negative effects of migration to the potential benefits migrants can offer as agents of development for both their home and host countries.

Abstract Ways to Refuge: Bosnians in Central New York in Ethnographic Perspective This dissertation documents the resettlement experiences of Bosnian Muslims relocated to two urban locales in the north of New York State during and after the Bosnian War in the Balkans. To do so, it relies on ethnographic data gathered mainly through extensive interviews and participant-observation conducted over a period of fourteen months of fieldwork in a variety of places in Central New York. The dissertation provides individual- and group-level descriptions and analyses of various aspects of the diasporic experiences of the Bosnians encountered in the research, in addition to laying bare the diversity and heterogeneity observed among those experiences. More specifically, it offers a nuanced treatment of commemorative practice in the context of refugehood by considering the ways in which that practice is embedded in pedagogy, religious performance, cultural critique, and entertainment. In addition, the dissertation relativizes bureaucratic knowledge, i.e.

  • The Principle of State Sovereignty and the Right to Self-Determination: the Case of Kosovo1
    The Principle of State Sovereignty and the Right to Self-determination:... 47 The Principle of State Sovereignty and the Right to Self-determination: The Case of Kosovo1 Uroš Lipušček* Abstract Sovereignty and self-determination are two basic norms of international law which often appear in contradiction to each other. The main debate here is which principle limits the other and the answer depends on an evaluation of each case. The case of Kosovo is a classic example of this dilemma. Both sides, Kosovo Albanian and Serb, claim their own rights based mainly on historical arguments, the former the right to self- determination in the form of their own state and the latter the right to retain the province of Kosovo under the framework of Serbia. Historical arguments or historical rights are an outdated concept. The modern concept of self-determination, developed from Woodrow Wilson’s theory which is linked to democracy, allows Kosovo Albanians the right to external self-determination. Sovereignty of the state does not exist as an absolute concept anymore, since it is directly linked to respect of basic human rights. Even that the self determination can not derive to a consistent international legal order, Kosovo Albanians have the right to external self- determination and their own state, since they were severely oppressed by the Milosević regime. Self-determination remains a radical concept to this day, one which can only be applied on a case by case basis and by taking into account of various factors. * Uroš Lipušček, PhD, Rector of AAB

    President of Kosovo, Mrs. Atifete Jahjaga Member of Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mr. Bakir Izetbegovic President of Serbia, Mr. Boris Tadic President of Slovenia, Mr. Danilo Turk President of Macedonia, Mr. Djordje Ivanov President of Montenegro, Mr. Filip Vujanovic President of Croatia, Mr. Ivo Josipovic Member of Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mr. Nebojsa Radmanovic Member of Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mr. Zeljko Komsic Subject: Establishment of RECOM Sarajevo, Belgrade, Prishtina, Zagreb, Skopje, Podgorica, Ljubljana October 2011 Your Excellencies, Presidents and Members of Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, We believe that citizens of the countries of the former Yugoslavia have a need and the right to know all the facts about war crimes and other massive human rights violations committed during the wars of the 1990s. They also have the right and a need, we believe, to know the consequences of those wars. This is why we are writing to you. For over a decade, since the weapons have been muted, post-Yugoslav societies have not been able to cope with the heavy legacy of the war past, largely because the fate of a number of those killed, forcibly disappeared, tortured, and persecuted – the people who suffered in so many different, horrible ways – remains unknown to date. Only a few names of those who died are known, but more than 13,000 families of forcibly disappeared persons are still searching for their loved ones. On top of this, there is no organized, systematic mechanism for the victims to seek and obtain fair reparation; and the lack of reliable facts about the victims is continually used for political manipulation, nationalist promotion, hatred and intolerance.

  • Bosnia and Herzegovina Report
    Country Report Bosnia and Herzegovina Gergana Tzvetkova, Mila Mancheva November 2019 This Country Report offers a detailed assessment of religious diversity and violent religious radicalisation in the above-named state. It is part of a series covering 23 countries (listed below) on four continents. More basic information about religious affiliation and state-religion relations in these states is available in our Country Profiles series. This report was produced by GREASE, an EU-funded research project investigating religious diversity, secularism and religiously inspired radicalisation. Countries covered in this series: Albania, Australia, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Malaysia, Morocco, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey and the United Kingdom. http://grease.eui.eu The GREASE project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement number 770640 Bosnia and Herzegovina Country Report GREASE The EU-Funded GREASE project looks to Asia for insights on governing religious diversity and preventing radicalisation. Involving researchers from Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Oceania, GREASE is investigating how religious diversity is governed in over 20 countries. Our work focuses on comparing norms, laws and practices that may (or may not) prove useful in preventing religious radicalisation. Our research also sheds light on how different societies cope with the challenge of integrating religious minorities and migrants. The aim is to deepen our understanding of how religious diversity can be governed successfully, with an emphasis on countering radicalisation trends. While exploring religious governance models in other parts of the world, GREASE also attempts to unravel the European paradox of religious radicalisation despite growing secularisation.
