Especially I would like to thank prof. Adam Curle, Margaret Ingelstam, Herb Walters and Michelle Kurtz who have always shared their kindness, knowledge and wisdom with us. This project could also not be realised without the politics and decision of the European Union to support a comprehensive approach to post-war peacebuilding through substantial resources. Civil society organisations from war-torn area played an important role in the forming and realisation of the project.

  • Former Yugoslavia: Emergency Assistance
    FORMER YUGOSLAVIA: EMERGENCY 18 Novem ber ASSISTANCE appeal no. 01.29/97 situation report no. 4 period covered: June - 30 September 1997 Donations totaling USD 6 million from the US Government for International Federation operations in former Yugoslavia — combined with sizeable grants from the Swedish and Norwegian Governments and Red Cross Societies — ensured that operations which were threatened with closure in Croatia and the Federal Republic (FR) Yugoslavia can be sustained for the remainder of 1997. At the end of October the Federation launched a new international advocacy campaign forFR Yugoslavia which it hopes will generate interest and a response to the ongoing needs of refugees and other vulnerable groups there. Meanwhile, in October the General Assembly of the Red Cross of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina was formally constituted and elected new office holders. The following month, the General Assembly of the Red Cross of Republika Srpska was held. The context Over 808,000 beneficiaries across former Yugoslavia are receiving assistance from the region’ s National Societies working alongside the International Federation, with its network of delegations in Belgrade, Sarajevo, Zagreb, and sub-delegations in Podgorica, Pristina and Osijek/Vukovar. Latest events Bosnia-Herzegovina Following rising tensions over the summer in Republika Srpska (RS) and the stand-off between the entity president Biljana Plavsic and the Pale leadership, political and civil unrest continued emergency appeal no. 01.29/97 situation report no. 4 in September. International community support for Plavsic and SFOR’s ‘Operation Tango’ provoked retaliatory attacks on various international organisations, and SFOR troops closed down the RS’s television station following “its tasteless compilation of outright lies”.

Th is work introduces the Commission’s staff and presents its operating methods and the results of its work, as well as its rela- tions with federal institutions in Belgrade. Key words: Federal state of Croatia, Democratic Federal Yugoslavia, Hun- gary, Baja Triangle, Border Commission, alteration of borders. Introduction At the end of the Second World War in Europe, preparations commenced for a peace conference that would determine the peace conditions for the defeated states. Th e status of the defeated states was infl uenced by various factors: the time of their transfer to the Allied side, their armed contribution to the Allied victory or the number and strength of the victorious states which had territorial demands against their territories. Th e Democratic Federal, or Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia came out of the war as a victor and as the legal successor to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Th is meant that it could place before Hungary the matter of Hungarian occupation of territories such as Prekomurje, Međimurje, Baranja and Bačka during the Second World War and seek material and territorial compensation.

  • Serbia in 2001 Under the Spotlight
    1 Human Rights in Transition – Serbia 2001 Introduction The situation of human rights in Serbia was largely influenced by the foregoing circumstances. Although the severe repression characteristic especially of the last two years of Milosevic’s rule was gone, there were no conditions in place for dealing with the problems accumulated during the previous decade. All the mechanisms necessary to ensure the exercise of human rights - from the judiciary to the police, remained unchanged. However, the major concern of citizens is the mere existential survival and personal security. Furthermore, the general atmosphere in the society was just as xenophobic and intolerant as before. The identity crisis of the Serb people and of all minorities living in Serbia continued. If anything, it deepened and the relationship between the state and its citizens became seriously jeopardized by the problem of Serbia’s undefined borders. The crisis was manifest with regard to certain minorities such as Vlachs who were believed to have been successfully assimilated. This false belief was partly due to the fact that neighbouring Romania had been in a far worse situation than Yugoslavia during the past fifty years. In considerably changed situation in Romania and Serbia Vlachs are now undergoing the process of self identification though still unclear whether they would choose to call themselves Vlachs or Romanians-Vlachs. Considering that the international factor has become the main generator of change in Serbia, the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia believes that an accurate picture of the situation in Serbia is absolutely necessary. It is essential to establish the differences between Belgrade and the rest of Serbia, taking into account its internal diversities.
