No part of this book may be reproduced in any form without permission in writing from the publisher Preface Inter-Ethnic Reconciliation, Religious Tolerance and Human Security in the Balkans Proceedings of the Second ECPD International Conference The Second ECPD International Conference on “National Reconciliation, Ethnic and Religious Tolerance – RECONCILIATION AND HUMAN SECURITY – in the Balkans”, was held in Belgrade, on 27-28 October, 2006. The Conference formed part of the ECPD project „National Rec- onciliation, Ethnic and Religious Tolerance in the Balkans“ being derived from the ECPD major long-term research and educational programme “The Balkans in the 21st Century – The Ways Leading to Peace and Sta- bility in the Balkans”. Within the scope of this project, the First ECPD Conference (Sym- posium) was held in Belgrade, on 28-29 October, 2005. The Conference had 80 participants and 20 observers. The Proceedings of the Conference were published and widely distributed. The Second Conference was pre- ceded by the formation and the first meeting of the ECPD International Permanent Study Group – its first meeting was held in Sveti Stefan (Mon- tenegro), on 17 June 2006. Both events as well as the Second Conference had the same aim: to contribute to the improvement of the national/in- terethnic reconciliation and inter-religious tolerance in the Balkans as a vital prerequisite for building a lasting peace and stability in the region. The Second Conference had 86 participants and eight observers. The participants came from all Balkan countries, most other European coun- tries and several non-European countries, including Japan and the Unit- ed States. Among them, there were well-known academicians: Vladeta Jerotić (Serbia), Paskal Milo (Albania); Vladimir Stipetić (Croatia); Boris Shmelev (Russia), and Dragan Vukčević and Branislav Šoškić (Montene- gro); many high-ranking officials and diplomats: Yasushi Akashi (former Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Former Yugosla- via), Peter Bas-Backer (Senior Deputy, High Representative, OHR, B&H), Sir James Mancham (founder and the first president of the Republic of Seyshelles), Nano Ružin (Macedonian Ambassador to NATO), Song, Yong Cheol (President of the Universal Peace Federation, the European Chapter), Mark Brann (Secretary General of the European UPF Chapter), Preface iii H.E. Tadashi Nagai (Ambassador of Japan to Serbia and Montenegro), H.E. Professor Darko Tanasković (Ambassador of Serbia and Montene- gro to the Holy See), H.E. Ambassador Wolfgang Wolte (Austrian Soci- ety for European Policy), Milorad Ščepanović (Ambassador, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Montenegro), Milomir Mihaljević (Advisor to the Prime Minister of Montenegro). The participants in the Conference were also professors from numerous universities, including Belgrade and Niš (Ser- bia), Zagreb (Croatia), Podgorica (Montenegro), Sarajevo and Banja Luka (B&H), Skopje (Macedonia), Vienna (Austria), Trieste (Italy), West Eng- land (UK), Saint Paul (Canada); Georgetown (Washington, D.C), Purdue (Indiana), Johns Hopkins (New York), Madrid (Spain) and others. Direc- tors of several research institutes or research centres also took part in the Conference: Armand Clesse (IEIS, Luxembourg), Boris Shmelev (Center for Political Research, Russian Academy of Sciences and Arts), Valen- tin Yakushik (Institute for European Studies, Academy of Sciences, Kiev, Ukraine) and others. The presence of the leaders of all three main religions in the region: Archbishop Stanislav Hočevar, Mufti Hadži Hamdija Jusufspahić and the President of the Belgrade Christian Center, Professor Radovan Bigović, was especially important. The Conference was chaired by H.E. Takehiro Togo, President of the ECPD Academic Council, and co-chaired by H.E. Yasushi Akashi, Sir James Mancham, H.E. Ambassador Wolfgang Wolte, Academicians Boris Shmelev and Vladimir Stipetić, and H.E. Ambassador Darko Tanasković. The opening of the Conference and its work were given comprehensive coverage by electronic and print media. The organization and work of the First ECPD Study Group Meeting and the Second Conference were supported and/or financially helped by Tokyo Club, Tokyo; Government of Montenegro; Universal Peace Foun- dation – European Chapter, and the Municipal Assembly of the City of Belgrade. The editors and the publisher wish to thank the sponsors for their generous help in the organization of these very important events. We are especially grateful to H.E. Takehiro TOGO for his tremendous efforts geared to the organization and managing of these events. We also express our gratitude to the high representatives of the religious denominations who briefly addressed the Conference and took part in its work.
