  • Bosnia & Herzegovina
    Negative trends associated with the media sphere in previous years persist, such as the media’s low level of professionalism, poor protection and conditions for journalists, a weak and oversaturated media market, an unsustainable public media service, a fragmented media scene, and political influence. BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA 16 EUROPE & EURASIA MEDIA SUSTAINABILITY INDEX 2014 introduction OVERALL SCORE: 2.04 BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) did not show signs of political or economic stabilization in 2013. The governing political parties avoided focusing on substantive reforms and implementing international standards. In April, Ba new political party launched—the Democratic Front, led by Željko Komšić, the Croat member of the B&H tripartite presidency. In the same month, the president of the Federation of B&H, Živko Budimir, was arrested on the accusation of taking bribes to approve amnesties but was released in May due to lack of evidence. In June 2013, public protests in front of Sarajevo’s parliament building and in other cities in B&H highlighted the lack of regulation of citizen IDs for newborns. The citizen initiative across B&H, although holding a promise of revolutionary change, ended as an unsuccessful bid to change politicians’ corruption, inequality, and incompetence. Finally, at the beginning of November, the B&H House of Peoples, in an emergency session and without debate, adopted the proposed amendments and changes to the law on ID numbers. The fact that the protests were organized through online platforms and social media illustrated new media’s growing influence in socially mobilizing the country. However, Serb and Croat parliamentarians framed the protests as an ethnically driven threat to their security and refused to attend parliamentary sessions for several weeks.

  • Study: Mapping Fake News and Disinformation in the Western
    STUDY Requested by the AFET committee Mapping Fake News and Disinformation in the Western Balkans and Identifying Ways to Effectively Counter Them Policy Department for External Relations Directorate General for External Policies of the Union EN PE 653.621 - February 2021 DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT STUDY Mapping Fake News and Disinformation in the Western Balkans and Identifying Ways to Effectively Counter Them ABSTRACT Disinformation is an endemic and ubiquitous part of politics throughout the Western Balkans, without exception. A mapping of the disinformation and counter-disinformation landscapes in the region in the period from 2018 through 2020 reveals three key disinformation challenges: external challenges to EU credibility; disinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic; and the impact of disinformation on elections and referenda. While foreign actors feature prominently – chiefly Russia, but also China, Turkey, and other countries in and near the region – the bulk of disinformation in the Western Balkans is produced and disseminated by domestic actors for domestic purposes. Further, disinformation (and information disorder more broadly) is a symptom of social and political disorder, rather than the cause. As a result, the European Union should focus on the role that it can play in bolstering the quality of democracy and governance in the Western Balkans, as the most powerful potential bulwark against disinformation.

  • Digital Rights in the Western Balkans and COVID-19
    Policy Briefs 2020 Danilo Krivokapić, Bojan Perkov and Davor Marko State of pandemonium: Digital rights in the Western Balkans and COVID-19 Supported by Table Of Contents 3 Executive summary 4 Introduction 5 Problem description 8 Rationale for action 10 Policy options / scenarios and recommendations 11 References State of pandemonium: Digital rights in the Western Balkans and COVID-19 Danilo Krivokapić, Bojan Perkov and Davor Marko EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The COVID-19 pandemic caused many shockwaves globally, eg disruption to daily interaction (physical and social distancing measures), disruption to education, disruption to work, restrictions on freedom of movement, etc.1 But, particular concern has been raised for the respect of human rights during this global public health crisis. Countries across the world have introduced various legal measures and technological solutions to combat consequences of COVID-19, leading to in- creased intrusion into their citizens’ lives. In such circumstances, privacy and personal data protec- tion were among the first ‘victims’, while infringement of other rights, such as freedom of expression and information, came soon after. The Western Balkans are no exception – numerous breaches of digital rights and freedoms could be witnessed during the pandemic, threatening to further decrease the overall state of human rights riding on the public fear of a major health crisis. The purpose of this paper is to show that the pandemic should not under any circumstances be used as a carte blanche for irreversible reduction of human rights standards, especially through the use of intrusive technologies. The authors’ findings presented in the paper highlight that there are already many issues in the Western Balkans in terms of digital rights and freedoms, particularly con- cerning personal data privacy and security, misinformation and attacks on journalists, which only deteriorated during the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • The Hypnotist
    The Hypnotist Aleksandar Vucic, John Bolton and the return of the past ESI Report 25 April 2019 ii Executive Summary It is remarkable how little change there has been in the key personnel in Serbian politics since the fall of Slobodan Milosevic in 2000. It is not surprising, therefore, that the old nationalist idea of redrawing borders on the basis of ethnicity has continued to be so prominent. What is surprising is the recent success that Serbian president Aleksandar Vucic has had in repackaging this old idea as progressive, non-conventional, out-of-the-box thinking. Why not, the siren song goes (again), adjust some borders along ethnic lines, as long as the process is negotiated peacefully and leads to reconciliation? When presenting the case for new borders Aleksandar Vucic talks a lot about the need to be realistic. He wants Serbia to be “smart” and to “take whatever it can.” He insists “on peace and stability, on negotiations and a solution, because we should not leave the problem to our children and grandchildren.” But what are the problems that Vucic proposes not to leave to the next generation? In February 2018 Serbia’s minister of defence, Aleksandar Vulin explained that his country’s priority was “to stop ‘Greater Albania’ after a century of expansion.” Serbia needed “a permanent and firm demarcation between Serbs and Albanians on the territory of Kosovo.” In August 2018 president Vucic described Kosovo as a powder-keg in which both sides were just waiting to attack at any moment: “Everyone will wait for an opportunity to strike the other in order to achieve an advantage on the ground.” In November 2018, Vulin explained that, in fact, Greater Albania was already emerging.
