Although different areas were affected by different degrees of violence and destruction ¬ Bosnia and Herzegovina for example was exposed to a long and cruel war, which in other countries (like Macedonia) could be stopped in its beginnings ¬ the entire region still suffers from the consequences and has to deal with the legacies of the wars and human rights violations. Societies in the Western Balkans have to cope with numerous traumas, enhance social healing processes, follow through the prosecution of war crimes, establish functioning mechanisms that guarantee the rights of minorities, co-existence of individuals and groups and participation of all citizens in democratic institutions. In the Western donor community there seems to be a general perception that the mission in the Balkans has been accomplished and that international interventions in this area have been a success story. This may be true if one only considers the fact that the region did not suffer a relapse into war in the past five years. But to say that the overall process of peacebuilding has been successfully completed seems to be a bit too simplistic. This book provides a more differentiated view on the remaining challenges. Whereas some countries of the Western Balkans are considered as stable and sufficiently committed to human rights and democratic values to start negotiations on Association Agreements and potential memberships with the * 1 Dr. Martina Fischer is Deputy Director at the Berghof Research Center for Constructive Confl ict Management in Berlin. (editor's note) 7 preface European Union (for instance Croatia and Macedonia), others are still far from this. Some countries still have to cope with very fundamental challenges. In Bosnia, even ten years after the Dayton Peace Accords brought an end to the fighting, the state-building process is still incomplete. Significant parts of the political ‘elites’ and huge parts of the population still have difficulties to identify with Bosnia and Herzegovina as a nation state. The situation in Bosnia is also interlinked with challenges and problems in neighbouring regions, especially Serbia and Kosovo. The future status of Kosovo is still unclear, due to power politics at the regional and international level, that create severe obstacles to the implementation of the plan that was recently presented by the Kosovo contact group (and even if the Ahtisaari Plan were implemented, the future of Kosovo’s minorities would still remain an open question). Macedonia seems to experience a process of relative stability after the implementation of the Ohrid Agreement, but ¬ similar to other Western Balkan countries ¬ its reality continues to be characterised by ‘parallel societies’ living next to each other. Tensions between these parallel societies have a certain potential to increase if they are fuelled by events in neighbouring regions. This is why many peace activists in the region of the former Yugoslavia argue that to characterise the current situation as ‘peace’ would definitely be too optimistic (see, for instance, Ivana FranoviÊ’s contribution). Some would rather call it a kind of ‘cold peace’. Most societies in the Western Balkans are still marked by numerous and intersecting lines of conflict. This has to be mentioned, not in order to foster the widespread international understanding that the Balkans are ‘per se’ a conflictive context (which is a biased and naïve view of history). One should not infer that nothing has changed and no progress has been made. Yet, it does draw attention to the fact that transitions from war to peace need more than a decade, and still a lot of effort is needed to achieve fundamental processes of conflict transformation, individual and collective healing. This is why prerequisites, obstacles and limits of ‘reconciliation’ ¬ issues of dealing with the legacies of the past, dealing with trauma, overcoming nationalism and distrust ¬ are at the core of many contributions in this book. 8 preface Obviously, initiatives for fact-finding and creating a sober assessment of the past are needed on various levels, the state as well as the civil society level. At the same time, facing the past is a painful process both for individuals, groups and institutions. Peace work in post-conflict societies faces a serious dilemma: leaving the past un-addressed will necessarily mean that things are swept under the carpet. Forcing people to deal with the past, on the other hand, is not effective as it will not change attitudes. On the contrary, it might lead to rejection or depression. Talking about the past, present and future has to be balanced in a way which avoids exhausting and alienating people. As practitioners’ experience shows, there are people in the region who want to address the past and are searching for opportunities to ask questions and join in discussions on these topics, even if remembering is a painful process for them. But they seem to form a minority still. In their daily work, practitioners also have to cope with many backlashes and frustration. In particular, it is difficult for them to make their voices heard and to counterbalance the more powerful official discourses. The official discourse usually deals with the past in a context of ‘victimisation’ or fosters myths of heroism and justification of war. Especially if it comes to the question of taking responsibility for the past, state institutions, politicians in parliaments, governments and public administrations are still very reluctant and/or lack the will for taking serious steps. Decision-makers seem to have little interest even in the publication of reliable data. Many of them either strive to avoid any public debate on dealing with the past, or they tend to exploit issues related to the past for fostering group identities which serve their respective power politics. Official discourses are also still beset with nationalist propaganda ¬ often actively supported by the media. On the other hand, some media and media institutes contributed to distribute more reliable facts than official sources usually offer. A problem remains that so-called public media are still basically state-driven (and private media merely following commercial interests are not so much committed to disseminating serious information). This perpetuates a situation where each side presents its own truth, and data 9 preface are merely used in order to prove the special victim status of the respective side rather than to paint an objective picture. In all countries of the former Yugoslavia civil society organisations have set up initiatives for fact-finding, awareness raising for the past and reconciliation. Others are active in peace education and try to address existing conflict lines. Many of them work with a high level of engagement, but most of their activities are not in the spotlight of the media. A problem that all civil society initiatives have in common is the chronic lack of support from media and official politics. Nevertheless, some practitioners are convinced that ‘a tenacious and committed political struggle’ will lead to a decrease of nationalism in the region and that the struggle for social change has to continue (see the contribution of Ksenija Forca and Majda PuaËa in this book).

    “THEY” WANTED THEM, AND “HE” DID NOT “THEY” WANTED THEM, AND “HE” DID NOT: ABOUT THE CONTEXT, ORGANIZATION AND FORM OF THE FORCIBLE CONSCRIPTION OF REFUGEES IN SERBIA IN 1995 Borislav Radović Borislav Radović The training camp of the Serbian Volunteer Guard is situated in Erdut. Big barracks with spacious grounds were renovated and transformed into a contemporary facility comparable with the best international centers of this kind...It is busy like in a bee-hive every morning since 6 o’ clock, when a new working day begins. There are morning calisthenics, breakfast and inspection. The trumpeter plays the Serbian anthem and a new day starts. A strenuous training awaits them…Sunday is a day off. They attend the mess in the church, play sports on various playgrounds, go out…but everything as deserved, because disrespect of the rules of this stoic school of humanity can bring the old Serbian measure: 25 strokes on the buttocks, in front of the entire ranks.1 This is not a promotional flyer for some slightly bizarre fitness-center, but a falsely idyllic description of the decor of one of the darkest episodes of the contemporary Serbian history. In this “stoic school of humanity” occured acts and treatments so inhuman that even today they represent a genuine nightmare for those who experienced them. 1 “Kako je nastala Srska dobrovoljačka garda: Ponovo u stroju”, Srpsko jedinstvo, broj 10, jun, 1995, p. 13. 11 THE CONTEXT The main reason of poverty in Serbia is too much money the citizens have.2 The events we will speak about took place in the summer of 1995.

  • The War in Croatia, 1991-1995
    7 Mile Bjelajac, team leader Ozren Žunec, team leader Mieczyslaw Boduszynski Igor Graovac Srdja Pavlović Raphael Draschtak Sally Kent Jason Vuić Rüdiger Malli This chapter stems in large part from the close collaboration and co-au- thorship of team co-leaders Mile Bjelajac and Ozren Žunec. They were supported by grants from the National Endowment for Democracy to de- fray the costs of research, writing, translation, and travel between Zagreb and Belgrade. The chapter also benefited from extensive comment and criticism from team members and project-wide reviews conducted in Feb- ruary-March 2004, November-December 2005, and October-November 2006. Several passages of prose were reconstructed in summer 2010 to address published criticism. THE WAR IN CROATIA, 1991-1995 ◆ Mile Bjelajac and Ozren Žunec ◆ Introductory Remarks Methodology and Sources Military organizations produce large quantities of documents covering all aspects of their activities, from strategic plans and decisions to reports on spending for small arms. When archives are open and documents accessible, it is relatively easy for military historians to reconstruct events in which the military partici- pated. When it comes to the military actions of the units in the field, abundant documentation provides for very detailed accounts that sometimes even tend to be overly microscopic. But there are also military organizations, wars, and indi- vidual episodes that are more difficult to reconstruct. Sometimes reliable data are lacking or are inaccessible, or there may be a controversy regarding the mean- ing of events that no document can solve. Complicated political factors and the simple but basic shortcomings of human nature also provide challenges for any careful reconstruction.
