Democratic transition, (re)construction of constitutional and political institutions, establishment of free market economies and inclusion in global market relations – all these were processes where the East Central European nations showed their willingness to follow example of Western Europe and North America and become part of developed Euro-Atlantic post-modern society. Over these 16 years East Central European societies have experienced many positive results of the democratic transition and consolidation, but – at least in some sections of the population – some negative consequences of colossal social changes too.

  • Radovan Karadžić: Godine Suđenja Ratnom Lideru
    IZDAVAČ Radovan Karadžić: Godine suđenja ratnom lideru Zbirka svih članaka BIRN-a o suđenju Radovanu Karadžiću pred Međunarodnim krivičnim sudom za bivšu Jugoslaviju i Međunarodnim rezidualnim mehanizmom UN-a za krivične sudove. Ova elektronska knjiga sadrži vesti, analize, intervjue i druge članke o suđenju bivšem lideru bosanskih Srba za zločine koji mu se stavljaju na teret, uključujući genocid, ratne zločine i zločine protiv čovečnosti počinjene tokom sukoba u Bosni i Hercegovini. Proizvedeno od strane Balkanske istraživačke regionalne mreže. Uvod U toku mandata Radovana Karadžića, ratnog predsednika Republike Srp- ske, eniteta naseljenog prevashodno Srbima, počinjeni su neki od na- jstrašnijih zločina na tlu Evrope nakon Drugog svetskog rata. Nakon što mu je, u martu 2016. godine, izrečena prvostepena presuda, na koju je uložio žalbu 20. marta 2019. godine, 73-godišnjem Karadžiću biće izrečena konačna presuda. Prvostepenom presudom proglašen je krivim za genocid u Srebrenici, progon i istrebljenje Hrvata i Bošnjaka iz 20 opština širom Bosne i Her- cegovine, a osuđen je i za učešće u zajedničkom zločinačkom poduhvatu terorisanja civilnog stanovništva Sarajeva tokom opsade ovog grada. Pored toga, proglašen je krivim i za držanje pripadnika mirovnih snaga Ujedin- jenih nacija taocima. Optužnica protiv Karadžića podignuta je od strane Međunarodnog kriv- ičnog suda za bivšu Jugoslaviju 1995. godine. Karadžić je potom proveo 12 godina u bekstvu, a konačno je uhapšen u Beogradu 2008. godine i izručen tribunalu UN-a. Kao bivši predsednik Republike Srpske i vrhovni komandant vojske bosan- skih Srba, predstavlja jednu od najviše rangiranih političkih ličnosti op- tuženih pred sudom u Hagu. BIRN je pažljivo pratio celokupno suđenje Karadžiću i do sada smo ob- javili više od 570 priča, analiza i mišljenja, intervjua i drugih članaka na ovu temu.

SVEDOK JOVIĆ: Svečano izjavljujem da ću govoriti istinu, celu istinu i ništa osim istine. SUDIJA MEJ: Izvolite sedite. GLAVNO ISPITIVANJE: TUŽILAC NAJS TUŽILAC NAJS – PITANJE: Hoćete li da nam kažete svoje ime i prezime, molim vas? SVEDOK JOVIĆ – ODGOVOR: Borisav Jović. TUŽILAC NAJS – PITANJE: Gospodine Joviću, ja ću sada da prepričam kakvi su bili vaši kontakti sa Tužilaštvom da biste identifikovali materijal na kojem smo radili. Prvo, u smislu konteksta, vi ste se rodili oktobra 1928. godine i bili ste na raznim funkcijama u vladi tokom vaše karijere. Uglavnom ste se bavili socijalnim i ekonomskim razvojem, bili ste ambasador u Italiji (Italy) krajem sedamdesetih godina. Da li ste 1989. godine bili izabrani kao srpski predstavnik u Predsedištvo SFRJ, da li ste bili potpredsednik tog Predsedni- štva od 5. maja 1989. godine do 15. maja 1990. godine. Da li ste bili pred- sednik od 15. maja 1990. do 15. maja 1991. godine? Da li ste posle toga bili predsednik Socijalističke partije Srbije od 24. maja 1991. godine do oktobra 1992. godine kada ste preuzeli funkciju od optuženog koji je tada sišao sa te funkcije i kad se on vratio kao vođa partije da li ste vi onda postali potpred- sednik stranke i ostali na toj funkciji do novembra 1995. godine? SVEDOK JOVIĆ – ODGOVOR: Da, tačno je to. TUŽILAC NAJS – PITANJE: Dakle, imajući to na umu, da li je tačno da ste vi napisali dve knjige od kojih se jedna zove ‘’Poslednji dani SFRJ’’, to je dnev- nik, a druga se zove ‘’Knjiga o Miloševiću’’? Da li ste takođe imali razgovor kao osumnjičeni sa Tužilaštvom u septembru 2002.

  • Text and Discourse As Context: Discourse Anaphora and the FDG Contextual Component1
    Text and discourse as context: Discourse anaphora and the FDG Contextual Component1 Francis Cornish Université de Toulouse-Le-Mirail, France Abstract In recent proposals for the crucial internal structure of the framing Contextual Component within Functional Discourse Grammar (Hengeveld & Mackenzie 2006, 2008) — for example by Rijkhoff (2008:88-97) and Connolly (2007) —, what is here called text is considered as equivalent to discourse within an account of the NP (Rijkhoff) or of context (Connolly). The article purports to show that this conflation of text and discourse is not adequate to the task of describing and accounting satisfactorily for discourse-anaphoric reference in actual texts, in particular, and that a principled distinction between the two is needed. Discourse anaphora is a particularly good diagnostic of context, since it clearly involves a (co-)textual dimension, but also a discourse one, relating to the world of referents, properties and states of affairs. The context relevant for a given act of utterance is in constant development: the discourse derived via the text both depends on the context and at the same time changes it as the discourse is constructed on line. So both the (co-)text and the discourse (a provisional, hence revisable, interpretation of the preceding co-text and/or context), as well as the anchoring situation of utterance, must be represented within the Contextual Component within an FDG representation of a given communicative event. 1 This is the revised text of a paper entitled “FDG and the framing Contextual Component: How does discourse anaphora fit into the picture?” presented at the 13th International Conference on Functional Grammar (ICFG13), held at the University of Westminster, Harrow, London (3-6 September 2008).

  • Footprint of Financial Crisis in the Media: Montenegro
    Footprint of Financial Crisis in the Media MONTENEGRO country report Compiled by Daniela Šeferovi č Commissioned by Open Society Institute December 2009 FOOTPRINT OF FINANCIAL CRISIS IN THE MEDIA Introduction Montenegro secured internationally recognised statehood in 2006, and the post-independence period saw dynamic rates of economic growth accompanied by a surge of investments, turning the economy into the most dynamic in Europe. The World Bank report Beyond the Peak: Growth Policies and Fiscal Constraints—Public Expenditure and Institutional Review stated that Montenegro was one of the world’s fastest growing non-oil economies in 2007. This period was characterised by a great dynamic in the capital and property markets, as well as a significant increase in public revenues, accompanied by a rise in surplus and state deposits. The side-effects of this economic growth were overheating of the economy, inflation and high balance-of-payments deficit. Such trends were unsustainable in the long run. From the last quarter of 2008, negative trends became more visible, resulting in the downfall of the capital market and problems in the construction and banking industries. Domestic banks were unable to lend to the private sector, which left one-quarter of companies struggling with liquidity problems. General state of the media sector Not even the period of the most dynamic economic growth made the media business profitable in Montenegro. In 2006/7 only a handful of media companies, including Vijesti, Dan, TV Pink and TV IN, which was then taken over by a Slovenian investment group, showed market vitality. A certain number of private media were surviving thanks to the help of foreign donors, but this income did not cover all costs and started becoming less available.

  • Towards an Understanding of the Discourse of Advertising: Review of Research with Special Reference to the Egyptian Media
    African Nebula, Issue 3, June 2011 Towards an Understanding of the Discourse of Advertising: Review of Research with Special Reference to the Egyptian Media Hosney M. El-daly United Arab Emirates University Abstract This study examines the nature of the discourse of advertising. The focus is on consumer advertising, which is directed towards the promotion of some product or service to the general public. The study, however, is not meant to exhaust all the aspects of this particular discourse, or present an answer to all the problems it poses. Rather, it aims at uncovering the basic elements of the most pervasive, influential and inescapable discourse of the 21st century; the advertising text. It focuses on the interaction of language, image and layout, and examines advertising persuasive strategies. In doing so, it draws on various linguistic (particularly pragmatic, psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic) theories. In addition this study provides analyses of some ads, using different ways of interpretations; and ends with a discussion on the interrelationship between culture (schemes) and advertising discourse. In this connection, instances from the Egyptian media, and their analyses are provided, with a view to clarifying some rhetorical categories in Arabic Advertising, and showing that texts construct meaning through interaction with other types of discourse, and inseparable from the culture of the advertising text Introduction Advertising is so familiar to modern readers that it may seem odd to ask what an advertisement is. Although advertising is all around us, we do not often pause to think about its nature as a form of discourse, as a system of language use whereby, on a daily basis, huge numbers of readers fleeting conversations‟ with the writers of countless texts (Goddard, 1998: 5).

  • NATO's Balancing Behavior Through Montenegro's Accession
    Thinking Geopolitically: NATO’s Balancing Behavior Through Montenegro’s Accession Master’s Thesis By Melike Kaptan May 23, 2018 Master of Science in International Relations and Diplomacy Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs Leiden University 2016-2018 Thinking Geopolitically: NATO’s Balancing Behavior Through Montenegro’s Accession Student Name: Melike Kaptan Student Number: s1891405 First Supervisor: Dr. Marinko Bobic Second Supervisor: Dr. Peter van Ham Cover photo: Geographic location of Montenegro in Europe. Source: OperationWorld.net, 2018. Word Count: 20.451 i Acknowledgments This Master’s thesis is a product of an intense and comprehensive two-year MSc program of International Relations and Diplomacy, provided by dedicated instructors from Leiden University and the Netherlands Institute of International Relations “Clingendael”. Under the tutelage of my professors, I have obtained a whole new set of tools to study and understand the phenomena of the current world order from a different viewpoint. For that, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to all my professors, and the MIRD staff who have shown continuous unwavering support in all my academic endeavors. I would also like to especially thank my First Supervisor Dr. Marinko Bobic for his guidance and his confidence in me. Without his dedicated support throughout my thesis period, this end product could not have reached its full potential. Another special thank you goes for my Second Supervisor Dr. Peter van Ham for his most constructive feedback that allowed me to build my research design on such concrete basis. Lastly, I must express my profound gratitude to Ragnhild Drange for her assistance, my colleagues and friends from MIRD program for their support and my parents for their love, guidance and constant encouragement.
