  • Myths and Realities of Coexistence in the Divided and United Town of Mostar Vanni D’Alessio
    Mediterranean Research Meeting 2010 WORKSHOP NUMBER 6 Who is Who in the Balkans Today: Mythmaking and Identity Mutations 1989-2009 directed by: Vjekoslav Perica, University of Rijeka/Fiume, Croatia Darko Gavrilovic, Singidunum University, Serbia Myths and Realities of Coexistence in the Divided and United town of Mostar Vanni D’Alessio Myths and Realities of Coexistence in the Divided and United town of Mostar This paper analyses the transformation of the urban public space, and the trends towards social, political and cultural integration and separation of Mostar in the 1990s and 2000s. The focus of the research is on the postwar processes of division and unification of the city and their traces and evidences in the public space and in the urban socialization mechanisms1. Introduction The division of Mostar into two separate towns started in 1993, during the early 1990s war in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH). The first part of the war had ended in 1993 with the withdrawal of the Yugoslavian army and the Serb military forces from the town, followed by the disappearance of the Serb component of Mostar. Very few Serbs remained in town. Most of them reached the nearby areas controlled by Serb military forces, other parts of the country or Serbia, or moved to foreign countries, sharing the destiny of other Bosnian refugees, of Croatian, Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) and Yugoslav affiliations. Some of the refugees who fled from Mostar have returned after the war, but almost all of them have remained in Republika Srpska or abroad. According to the 1991 census the Serbs were around the 18-19% of the overall municipality (op_ina) population (126.628 people) and of the population of the inner Mostar town (grad, 75.865 people), while the declared Yugoslavs numbered a little more than 10% in the municipality and over 15% in town2.

  • Chapter 5 POSTWAR IMAGES and IDENTITIES of MOSTAR
    Chapter 5 POSTWAR IMAGES AND IDENTITIES OF MOSTAR Before the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia-Hercegovina, Mostar was recognized and appreciated both locally and internationally as one of the most important historic urban ensembles in the region. It was also known as a quintessential Bosnian city with a culturally mixed population and urban form that reflected its position as a point of cultural intersection. Most argue that this multicultural image of the city was lost during the recent war, but there has been little consensus as to what new urban identity has replaced it. In fact, the intersection of various local cultures and the international community in postwar Mostar has led to numerous, competing visions of Mostar. How Mostar has been seen and understood and the nature of its urban identity in the past decade has been influenced by the destruction, demographic change, and mobilization of competing nationalisms that took place during the war. In addition, events of the postwar period, especially reconstruction and new building programs, have also greatly influenced Mostar’s image. As perceptions of the city and of sites within it have both been continuously revised, these discussions have become inseparable and mutually influential. Each new architectural, urban, or reconstruction project in the city can only be understood within the context of Mostar’s overall meaning and symbolism, but this urban identity is at the same time also affected by each individual project. 338 The competing visions of postwar Mostar are also interrelated with the greater national identity debates taking place in Bosnia-Hercegovina today. In addition, like each of the individual construction and reconstruction projects in the city, discussions about Mostar’s postwar identity have also been linked to tensions between reuniting or further dividing the city.

    Book La ville-martyre: guerre, tourisme et mémoire en ex-Yougoslavie NAEF, Patrick James Abstract Cet ouvrage se place à la croisée de l'anthropologie et de la géographie sociale, analysant le patrimoine culturel et le secteur touristique dans un contexte postconflit. Le cadre d'étude se limite à deux villes, célèbres pour le siège qu'elles ont vécu durant les guerres qui ont meurtri l'ex-Yougoslavie dans les années 1990 : Vukovar, une ville secondaire de Slavonie, en Croatie orientale, et Sarajevo, la capitale de la Bosnie-Herzégovine. Vingt ans après la fin des conflits, des sites sont toujours en ruines, et certains lieux de mémoire sont devenus des symboles incontournables de la guerre, au niveau local comme au niveau international. Si les immeubles détruits, les mines antipersonnel et les impacts de mortiers disparaissent progressivement du paysage, certaines traces sont encore présentes, conservées volontairement ou laissées à l'abandon. En outre, des pratiques – muséales, touristiques, artistiques – participent également à la patrimonialisation de ces conflits, à travers la mobilisation d'objets contemporains de ces événements (la muséification d'un site guerrier) ou par la [...] Reference NAEF, Patrick James.

  • Vanni D'alessio Divided and Contested Cities in Modern European History. the Example of Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina
    Vanni D’Alessio Divided and Contested Cities in Modern European History. The Example of Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina November 9, 1989 was marked by the fall of the Berlin wall: the most famous divided city of 1920 th century Europe was finally on its way to reunification. 1 Four years later, on the same day, the Old Bridge of Mostar was destroyed. For the old inhabitants this event marked the death of their pluralist city; for specta- tors around the world, horrified that war once again raged in the heart of the European continent, Mostar staked a claim of its own to the title of Europe’s most renowned divided city. It contended for this dubious distinction with Nic- osia and Belfast, though no European city could compete with Jerusalem in this regard. The story of divided Berlin has very little in common with the stories of Mostar, Belfast, Nicosia and Jerusalem. The German city was divided in the aftermath of a world war and during the Cold War confrontation. Berlin was not divided as a result of civil war or internal strife for hegemony or domination within the city or in its wider area. Nor were outside powers present to contain a local conflict or to divide and quit , the way Britain did as it left its former colo- nial possessions. There had been no ethnonational rivalry over Berlin. Instead, these are all elements of the division of the other mentioned cities and their deep-rooted political and cultural contentions. While it is quite easy to see Ber- lin as a German city, it is not as easy to classify the other cities nationally.

  • Dodik in Bratunac Was “The Most Dangerous Statement Given by an Official in Bih Since the Dayton Peace Agreement Was Signed”
    WB WESTERN BALKANS Daily e-newspaper • N° 4088 • Sarajevo, July 18, 2017 e-MEDIA GROUP BAKIR IZETBEGOVIC RS Leader Openly Violated Dayton Agreement Leader of the main Bosniak party and a member in the BiH Presidency urged the state prosecution and the international overseer of the peace agreement implementation in Bosnia to sanction Bosnian Serb leader for hate speech against Bosniak returnees akir Izetbegovic said a July 7 state - ment of the Republika Srpska pres - Bident Milorad Dodik in Bratunac was “the most dangerous statement given by an official in BiH since the Dayton Peace Agreement was signed”. At a commemoration for Serb victims of the Bosnian war in eastern Bosnia, Dodik accused unnamed Islamic organiza - tions of financing the return of expelled Bosniaks to the region bordering Serbia, in a bid to “occupy the Drina river (region) again”. "Milorad Dodik made an open anti- constitutional and anti-Dayton state - ment, committing a criminal offence (defined by) the Criminal Code of BiH. Since there was no expected reaction from the Prosecutor's Office of BiH and the OHR, I addressed those Bosnian Bakir Izetbegovic and international institutions, as well as Bosniaks were occupiers in the Drina return, under the Dayton Peace members of the PIC Steering Board, river region until 1992, which is why (the Agreement and the Constitution of asking them to react and sanction this Serbs) forced them to leave their homes Bosnia and Herzegovina, is a repeated kind of behavior of the RS president," (...) by committing war crimes, crimes occupation of that part of Bosnia and said Izetbegovic.

  • Exploring Alternative Geographies, Politics and Identities in Bosnia and Herzegovina Through Contemporary Art Practices
    Exploring alternative geographies, politics and identities in Bosnia and Herzegovina through contemporary art practices Charlotte Whelan Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) UCL, Geography ! Statement of Originality I, Charlotte Whelan, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. I confirm that it is the result of my own original research and not the result of a collaborative project. I confirm that the thesis has not previously been submitted in part or full for a degree award at UCL or any other University. Signature: Date: ! Abstract An extensive literature in political geography has examined the breakup of Yugoslavia and the contested politics of its successor states. Bosnia and Herzegovina has been a focus of particular attention due to the scale of violence that took place there and its complexity as the most multicultural state in Yugoslavia. However, existing studies have tended to maintain a focus on wartime events and the post-war fragmentation of the country, overlooking the ways in which these are being reworked creatively outside of orthodox political channels. In light of growing geographical interest in art, the thesis examines how Bosnia is being reworked through artistic practices and the implications of this for understandings of the region. Conceptually, the thesis draws on feminist and subaltern approaches to geopolitics as well as debates in art theory and practice. Methodologically, it is based on ethnographic fieldwork and participation in ongoing art projects, as well as research on Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav art history.
