  • The Consequences of the Kosovo Conflict on Southeastern Europe
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Southern Methodist University The Consequences of the Kosovo Conflict on Southeastern Europe MARK S. ELLIS* I. Introduction During the initial stage of the Kosovo crisis, the international community held out prom- ises of substantial support to neighboring countries if they stood strong against Serbian aggression. President Clinton spoke about launching a Marshall Plan for Southeastern Eu- rope to help rebuild a region crippled by war.' NATO leaders showered promises of military protection and economic help to Yugoslavia's neighbors for siding with the alliance on Kosovo. In fact, NATO's "direct and real interest" in the security of the neighboring coun- tries caused the alliance to be at "the forefront of the international community in supplying money and material" to these countries.2 To prevent any widening of the conflict, neigh- boring countries received security support from both the international community and NATO. Indeed, the NATO alliance did not hesitate to assure the neighboring countries that it would stand by them throughout the crisis, given their importance to NATO's overall efforts to stabilize the region.' Did the international community keep its promise? Did the region pay an extraordinary price for assisting the alliance in its actions against Belgrade? Can the region fully recover from the Kosovo crisis? This article offers a preliminary assessment of the effects of the Kosovo war on South- eastern Europe and addresses regional reconstruction efforts up to and including the re- cently adopted Stability Pact. Much can be established empirically. For instance, economic performance before and after the war can be measured with relative accuracy.

  • From the Tito-Stalin Split to Yugoslavia's Finnish Connection: Neutralism Before Non-Alignment, 1948-1958
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FROM THE TITO-STALIN SPLIT TO YUGOSLAVIA'S FINNISH CONNECTION: NEUTRALISM BEFORE NON-ALIGNMENT, 1948-1958. Rinna Elina Kullaa, Doctor of Philosophy 2008 Directed By: Professor John R. Lampe Department of History After the Second World War the European continent stood divided between two clearly defined and competing systems of government, economic and social progress. Historians have repeatedly analyzed the formation of the Soviet bloc in the east, the subsequent superpower confrontation, and the resulting rise of Euro-Atlantic interconnection in the west. This dissertation provides a new view of how two borderlands steered clear of absorption into the Soviet bloc. It addresses the foreign relations of Yugoslavia and Finland with the Soviet Union and with each other between 1948 and 1958. Narrated here are their separate yet comparable and, to some extent, coordinated contests with the Soviet Union. Ending the presumed partnership with the Soviet Union, the Tito-Stalin split of 1948 launched Yugoslavia on a search for an alternative foreign policy, one that previously began before the split and helped to provoke it. After the split that search turned to avoiding violent conflict with the Soviet Union while creating alternative international partnerships to help the Communist state to survive in difficult postwar conditions. Finnish-Soviet relations between 1944 and 1948 showed the Yugoslav Foreign Ministry that in order to avoid invasion, it would have to demonstrate a commitment to minimizing security risks to the Soviet Union along its European political border and to not interfering in the Soviet domination of domestic politics elsewhere in Eastern Europe.

  • Hungarian Constitutional Law and the Serbian Question in the Political Ideology of Svetozar Miletić
    Institute for Political Studies UDC 32 Miletić S.:[342(439)+323.1(=163.41) Serbian Political Thought Manuscript received: 13.09.2013. No. 2/2013, Accepted for publishing: 05.11.2013. Year V, Vol. 8 Review article pp. 103-117 Dejan Mikavica1 Faculty of Philosophy University of Novi Sad Hungarian Constitutional Law and the Serbian Question in the Political Ideology of Svetozar Miletić Abstract In the political ideology of Svetozar Miletić and other liberal Serbian po- litical leaders in the Habsburg Monarchy, Hungarian constitutional law repre- sented constitutional and legal framework acceptable inasmuch as the ruling Hungarian state doctrine even partially recognised Serbian privileges, and their democratic and national rights. The initial request to form special territorial autonomy for Serbs within Hungary, which was to have considerable authority over certain aspects of social life, was redefined after the Austro-Hungarian Compromise by requesting administrative integration of Hungarian counties on national basis. Institutionally conducted Magyarisation within Hungary in- dicated the loss of national identity of all non-Hungarian peoples in Hungary, while the cancellation of Serbian ecclesiastical-educational autonomy meant sanctioning of Serbian privileges. Keywords: Svetozar Miletić, Austria-Hungary, Hungary, the Annunciation Council, ecclesiastical-educational autonomy, Vojvodina. Since the end of the 17th century legal and political status of Ser- bian people within the Habsburg Monarchy was regulated by impe- rial privileges as well as laws adopted by Hungarian Assembly up to year 1848, after which the Hungarian Parliament. Royal privileges were construed by ecclesiastical and clerical representatives of Austro- Hungarian Serbs as a constitutional and legislative contract, based on which they deduced the right of Serbs to acquire the status of an equal, historical nation in a state where that status had been continuously de- 1 Associate professor [email protected] 103 nied to them.

Boris Tadic was reelected president in February 2008. In May 2008 voters elected a new parliament in which some minority ethnic parties won seats. Observers considered both elections to be mostly in line with international standards. Security forces reported to civilian authorities. During the year the following human rights problems were reported: physical mistreatment of detainees by police; inefficient and lengthy trials; harassment of journalists, human rights advocates, and others critical of the government; limitations on freedom of speech and religion; lack of durable solutions for large numbers of internally displaced persons (IDPs); corruption in legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government including police; government failure to apprehend the two remaining fugitive war crimes suspects under indictment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY); societal violence against women and children; societal violence and discrimination against minorities, particularly Roma and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) population; and trafficking in persons. One significant human rights achievement was marked at the October 10 Pride Parade, when the government affirmed the freedom of assembly of the LGBT community. Unlike previous years, the government worked closely with planners to prepare for the event, and police successfully protected the marchers despite widespread violent protests by extremist groups.
