Even though it is small, less visible than other national communities, this national community is working hard to develop, to get equal rights and what is maybe the most important, to preserve its identity, which has been threatened. On November 26 we celebrated one of our four national holidays – Day of the Great National Assembly. In addition to this holiday, the Bunjevci community celebrates Veliko Prelo (February 2) , Day of Founding of the Bunjevci National Council (February 2N3) and Day of Duzijanica (August 17). We interviewed Suzana Kujundzic Ostojic, the president of the National Council of the Bunjevci National Minority, for the latest issue of our Bulletin. fact that Tito brought a decree in 1945, when the war was not over yet, ordering all Bunjevci to declare themselves as Croats. In 1918, there were 84,000-85,000 Bunjevci in the area I was talking about, and today, there are only 16,000 people declaring themselves as Bunjevci. So, the problems facing our community reach back in history and we still feel some of the consequences. But we deal with all these problems very bravely. This is the third National Council of the Bunjevci Na - tional Minority. We work with 3% majority. I think this is good and I think that it is good that we have good and strong op - position in every national council, which we have. We try to work with funds that we get from the Republic of Serbia, the Autonomous Province of the Vojvodina and a little money from the city since there are less than 10% of Bunjevci in Subotica, which is why some rights we used to have How would you describe the Bunjevci in the area of Bajski triangle. Problems fa - we have lost. We are special also by the community and what does one first think cing the Bunjevci community are similar fact that the Republic of Serbia is our mot - of when we speak of this community? to problems facing all communities in Ser - herland, while the majority of national bia, they being high mortality rate, emi - For me, as a member of this community,

  • Advancing Normalization Between Kosovo and Serbia
    ADVANCING NORMALIZATION BETWEEN KOSOVO AND SERBIA ADVANCING NORMALIZATION BETWEEN KOSOVO AND SERBIA Council for Inclusive Governance New York, 2017 Contents 4 Preface and Acknowledgments 7 Comprehensive Normalization 11 Parliamentary Cooperation 22 Serb Integration and Serb Albanian Relations 32 Challenges of Establishing the Association/Community 39 Serbia’s Internal Dialogue on Kosovo © Council for Inclusive Governance 2017 3 PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Almost twenty years after the war in Kosovo, resolution of the Kosovo-Serbia conflict remains a piece of unfinished business in the Balkans. The process is entering a critical stage. An agreement on comprehensive normalization or a peace treaty under which both sides will commit to mutual respect, peaceful co- existence and hopefully cooperation is within reach. Comprehensive normalization with Kosovo is an obligation for Serbia’s accession to the European Union and is also needed by Pristina in order to move forward. It is unclear, however, what is the most efficient way of getting there. It is not clear how to produce a document that will be acceptable to both sides and a document in the spirit of win-win rather than of win-lose. Since 2010, Serbia and Kosovo have been on a quest to normalize their relations. In Brussels, in 2013, their prime ministers reached the first agreement of principles governing normalization of relations. Implementation deadlines were agreed upon as well. However, five years later the agreement remains to be implemented in full, most notably the provisions on establishing the Association/Community of Serb-Majority Municipalities and on energy. Kosovo’s institutions are not fully functioning in Kosovo’s predominantly ethnically Serb north and Serbia’s parallel administrative institutions continue their existence across Kosovo.

  • Parliamentary Cooperation in Normalization of Relations
    Parliamentary Cooperation in Normalization of Relations On June 25-26, 2016, in Podgorica, Montenegro, the Council for Inclusive Governance (CIG) organized its fourth roundtable of members of parliaments of Serbia and Kosovo. The objective of the meeting was to assess the relations between Kosovo and Serbia, search for ways to contribute to the resolution of outstanding issues, and chart a plan of future activities for the Group for Cooperation of MPs of Kosovo and Serbia formed at their last meeting in Pristina. The roundtable is part of a larger CIG project supported by and implemented in cooperation with the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs. Relations between Serbian and Kosovo Albanian societies continue to suffer from the past. Anger and revenge are not giving way to maturity and compromise, and thus preventing the two societies from making rational choices, a Serbian parliamentarian said. She called on her colleagues and on the governments of Kosovo and Serbia to resolve the disputes now and not leave them to future generations. “Do we want our kids to hate each other just like we do now?” She said that politicians could reverse the hostile process of the past decades with a “little extra effort and some political will.” “It is our choice, she added, whether to block the process or to move it forward.” Regarding the role of the Parliaments, a speaker called on the participants to establish more rigorous monitoring and oversight over their governments, invite government officials to parliamentary hearings more often, and engage in public outreach. He concluded that normalization is not simply a process of two groups of people from the two governments but rather a process between the two societies, and thus parliamentarians should take a more active role in this process.

  • Extraordinary Elections in Serbia – Nothing Extraordinary Happened
    László Horváth Extraordinary Elections in Serbia – Nothing Extraordinary Happened Abstract: This analysis sets the political scene for the Serbian elections of April 24, 2016. It relates the efforts of the Hungarian national community of the 1990’s to the fate of this northern province of the country. Besides presenting the circumstances and results of the elections, it also describes the challenges and tasks facing the new government in relation to the Hungarian com- munity. The author identifies the long-lasting problems and controversies which have been resolved or partially resolved in Serbian-Hungarian relation. It also points to the issues that require further efforts to be settled. The aim of my analysis is to examine the elections held in Serbia on 24 April 2016 in a wider context, and to present the political processes and aspirations which preceded the elections from the perspective of the Hungarian community living in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina in Northern Serbia, starting in the 1990s. In addition to the pre- sentation of the circumstances and results of the elections, I also examine the new gov- ernment’s planned tasks and reforms concerning the Hungarian national minority. The analysis also presents the results or partial results which were achieved due to the work of the local Hungarian community in the field of long-standing problems and questions, and the issues which require further efforts. In my analysis I also draw attention to the fact that regarding the internal political events which took place in the past 25 years in Serbia, it is not unusual that governments do not serve out their full terms.

  • ALBANCI U SRBIJI Preševo, Bujanovac I Medveđa
    ALBANCI U SRBIJI Preševo, Bujanovac i Medveđa Fond za humanitarano pravo 2002. ALBANCI U SRBIJI Preševo, Bujanovac i Medveđa Kratak pregled Preševo (Preshevë), Bujanovac (Bujanoc) i Medveđa (Medvegjë) su nerazvijene opštine na jugu Srbije sa mešovitim, albanskim, srpskim i romskim stanovništvom. Područje se graniči sa Kosovom na jugozapadu i Republikom Makedonijom na jugu. Demografski sastav, položaj regiona i njegova nerazvijenost učinili su da ovo bude nestabilno područje, na kome su se na specifičan način prelamale političke, bezbednosne i druge prilike u Srbiji, na Kosovu i u širem regionu. Preševo, Bujanovac i Medveđa su i jedine opštine u Srbiji u kojima živi značajan broj pripadnika albanske nacionalne zajednice. Procenjuje se da u ove tri opštine ima preko 100.000 Albanaca. Aprila 2002. godine obavljen je prvi popis stanovništva u kome su, posle 21 godine, učestvovali i Albanci. Zvanični rezultati popisa još uvek nisu objavljeni. Osnovna ljudska i manjinska prava Albanaca bila su konstantno kršena za vreme bivšeg režima. Diskriminacija u obrazovanju, zapošljavanju, informisanju i drugim oblastima pojačana je krajem ’80-tih godina. Usvajanje Ustava Republike Srbije iz 1990. godine, a potom i serije zakona usmerenih ka jačanju centralne vlasti, prvenstveno su pogodili lokalnu samoupravu. U opštini Preševo, na primer, albanske partije su od 1990. godine nadalje uvek osvajale lokalnu vlast, ali nisu imale mogućnost da utiču na unapređenje kolektivnih prava albanske zajednice. Do intervencije Severnoatlantskog pakta (NATO) 1999. godine, pored sistemske diskriminacije, vlasti su primenjivale i druge vrste pritisaka (otpuštanja s posla, politička suđenja, zabrane časopisa). U toku NATO bombardovanja1 došlo je do teških povreda ljudskih prava i otvorene represije od strane paravojnih formacija, vojske i policije.
