The legal adviser indicated that there are other ethnic minorities, but not many Albanians, living in Vojvodina (Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia 28 Feb. 2005). In Sandzak, "Bosnians, not Albanians" are the main minority group (ibid.). Country Reports 2004 provides further details on the ethnic composition of the two regions: "In Vojvodina, the Hungarian minority constituted approximately 15 percent of the population, and many regional political offices were held by ethnic Hungarians. In the Sandzak, Bosniaks controlled the municipal governments of Novi Pazar, Tutin, and Sjenica, and Prijepolje". (28 Feb. 2005 Sec. 3) The March 2003 report to the Council of Europe by the Voivodina Center for Human Rights did not include ethnic Albanians in Voivodina as one of the region's minorities, which include Croats, Hungarians, Roma, Romanians, Ruthenians and Slovaks. An article in Le Courrier des Balkans stated that Vojvodina had a record of non-violent cohabitation among its close to 30 different minorities, but that between 2003 and 2004 ethnic incidents had occurred, mostly directed at Croats and Hungarians (25 Sept.

    ART & CULTURE · ART Drawing the line: meet the Romanian artist-activist tackling world crises one cartoon at a time 5 JANUARY 2016 · BUCHAREST · ROMANIA A household name in the Bucharest art scene, with solo exhibitions at the most recognised galleries across the world, Dan Perjovschi has made his career creating drawings that are both comic and critical. We spoke to the artist about how events from the building of the Berlin Wall to the refugee Dan Perjovschi, Untitled (2015) crisis have influenced his work TEXT Will Gresson Dan Perjovschi is one of Romania’s foremost artistic voices. Although known as a talented multi-disciplinary artist in his home country, particularly for his early performance work, he is most widely known internationally for his massive drawing installations. Executed directly onto the walls of buildings, public spaces and gallery walls using simple chalk or marker pens, these figures and shapes reveal a wry and playful sense of humour, while at the same time demonstrating his sharp critical focus. Simple stick figures or sketches are used to articulate fantastically nuanced critiques of both domestic and international politics and culture, something which has been particularly obvious in current works dedicated to the refugee crisis in Europe. At a recent exhibition in Timisoara for example, one work contained two figures; the first was carrying a child next to the word “real”, the second carried a bomb with the word “fear”. It’s a commentary which feels particularly poignant after the recent attacks in Paris. Elsewhere, he illustrated the changing tides of political focus, writing “EU’s Problem: Syriza Syria” to reflect the unpredictable priorities of the continent’s governing bodies.

  • Experiments in Art and Music in Eastern Europe 1957-1984
    Experiments in Ar t and Music in Eastern Eu rope 1957-19 84 26 June – 25 August 2013 Curated by David Crowley and Daniel Muzyczuk Cover: Drawing of the Foksal Gallery, action entitled 5x , published in Program Galerii Foksal PSP, courtesy of Foksal Gallery and Visual Arts Studio. Our purpose was to create an apparatus rather than a finite work. The apparatus’s functioning depended on the participation of the viewer (‘this entrance card authorises participation and co creation’, the invitation said). By integrating visual and aural action and encouraging their manipulation by the participant, we wanted to produce unexpected situations and emotions. 1. 19 September 1966 The invited artists – Cornelius Cardew, David Bedford, John Tilbury – performed Le Monte Young’s Poem . Additional instruments: cello, contact microphone, accordion, transistor radio. 2. 20 September Additional instruments: contact microphone, zither. 3. 21 September Additional instruments: metronome, zither (amplified). A photographic flash lamp was also used. 4. 22 September Additional instruments: music box, amplified metronome (the background formed by the metronome’s rhythm being occasionally interrupted by the music box). A gas gun was also used. 5. 23 September Additional instruments: amplified music box. Shepherd’s bells and trumpets were also used. Each performance had an audience of forty to seventy people. Starting from 21.00, visitors were let in, in groups of ten, at fifteen -minute intervals. From start to end, each performance was different for each participant. The start began at the moment of entry when the installation was set in motion and the moment of departure was dependent on the decision of the individual.

  • NATO Powers Prepare Final Solution in Kosovo
    11 Years Later: NATO Powers Prepare Final Solution In Kosovo By Rick Rozoff Theme: US NATO War Agenda Global Research, March 19, 2010 In-depth Report: THE BALKANS Stop NATO 18 March 2010 March 17 marked the sixth anniversary of a concerted assault against Serbs and other ethnic minorities in Kosovo that resulted in 800 Serbian homes and thirty five Orthodox churches and monasteries being destroyed, 4,000 Serbs and Roma (Gypsies) forced to flee their homes, 900 hundred people injured and 19 killed. The attacks followed the accidental drowning of three ethnic Albanian youth which local separatist politicians and media attributed to the actions of Serbs and used to incite an orgy of intolerance, ethnic hostility and violence. They marked the worst, and deadliest, violence in the Balkans since NATO’s 78-day bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999 and the war in Macedonia two years later launched by an offshoot of the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) operating out of NATO-occupied Kosovo. Clashes occurred between ethnic Albanians and Serbs and between both and NATO Kosovo Force (KFOR) troops. The dead and wounded included members of all three groups. On the first day of the attacks, which started in the ethnically-divided city of Kosovska Mitrovica but soon spread to several other locales, personnel of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) abandoned offices in the cities of Gnjilane, Prizren and Pec and one UN representative, alluding to the anti-Jewish rampage in Nazi Germany in 1938, said “Kristallnacht is under way in

The Enabling Environment for Free and Independent Media: Contribution to Transparent and Accountable Governance Abstract Throughout the world, there is a vast remapping of media laws and policies. This important moment for building more democratic media is attributable to rapid-fire geo-political changes. These include a growing zest for information, the general move towards democratization, numerous pressures from the international community, and the inexorable impact of new media technologies. Whatever the mix in any specific state, media law and policy is increasingly a subject of intense debate. Shaping an effective democratic society requires many steps. The formation of media law and media institutions is one of the most important. Too often, this process of building media that advances democracy is undertaken without a sufficient understanding of the many factors involved. This study is designed to improve such understanding, provide guidance for those who participate in the process of constructing such media, and indicate areas for further study.
