Dveri Srpske”/We Are Not a Party, We Are Family New Power of Serbia/ “Dveri Srpske”/We are not a party, we are family. Occupation or life Dark-Sirens-Bombs March of 1999. 19 countries members of NATO bombed Serbia and Montenegro without authorization of Security Council, 23,000 tons of bombs and 30,000 kg of depleted uranium fell down on the people who were defending their own land, killed more than 2,300 civilians and 1,000 soldiers. After 78 days, the Serbs were forced to sign an agreement in Kumanovo. West didn’t stop its campaign. Pro-western Serbia's opposition had been financed by millions of dollars to create citizens dissatisfaction of Slobodan Milosevic regime and to overthrow him. This happened in October 2000. The people thought that the time for democracy and freedom is coming, but it was the beginning of the colonization of Serbia. At the same time, at the beginning of 1999 students of Philosophy at University of Belgrade, have launched a newspaper "Dveri Srpske". There has been a first meeting of nationally conscious young people. While the Serbs were constantly blamed by the media as the main culprit for the wars of the 90s, political cronies, those who bring the West in power, paved the way for economic occupation and destruction of the National Bank. Government and industry have been systematically destroyed and taxes on goods from the West were abolished, and then started the sale of state-owned enterprises. What the people built by decades, had been sold to foreign magnates almost for free. Regardless of national companies sales, external debt in 2000. was $ 5 billion dollars, and ten years later, debt had reached 50 billion. National education and culture were at the edge. “Dveri Srpske” did not accept the occupation of Serbia and continued their work. Financial resources for more serious measures were not sufficient, but the National Assembly in other Serbian cities, were more frequent. Since 2001. “Dveri Srpske”, under name “Serbian Network" connecting dozens of Serbian organizations in the country and the Region. In March 2004, the West allowed Albanians to banish the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija. Medieval monasteries were burned, and Serbs were killed or abducted. “Dveri Srpske” launched a humanitarian campaign and received the award for humanitarian work from the magazine "Novosti" and Pavle Patriarch of Orthodox Church. Now, well known magazine "Dveri Srpske" is writing about taboo topics such as "NATO genocide against the Serbian people", "The truth about Srebrenica," "Technological Totalitarianism" "Nationalism and Anti-Nationalism" and “EUthanasia".While corruption and destruction of the all positive values in Serbia has spread ,”Dveri Srpske” did not give up and continued to work on. In February 2008, the day before the illegal declaration of Independence, ”Dveri Srpske” gathered, about 10,000 people on the streets. In 2009 and 2010 all of them participated in a “family walks" and in this way had helped “Dveri Srpske” to enter the political arena. NATO has rushed to destroy Serbia: Statute of Vojvodina , shameful resolution on Srebrenica, separatism in the region of Raska, selling of natural resources, in February 2011 had led political activation of “Dveri Srpske” . Political manifesto of “the agreement with the people," was announced in public. In the coming months, Western analysts were surprised: people who have being systematically destroyed showed that the experiment failed. In less than a year “Dveri Srpske” opened hundreds of offices throughout Serbia and years of their hard work led them to success. Disappointed with false promises, implementation of the regime, with disability of entire political scene and the implementation of reforms “Dveri Srpske” were standing in front of the Nation as a new political force. "Finally, there is someone to whom I can give my vote" – said a citizen of Serbia and expressed his hope that there is a time for counter-attack. ”Dveri Srpske” is coming. Unlike the corrupt and obsolete leaders “Dveri Srpske presented the new organizational structure: they have no leaders, no members, no party, but they have a program for life of Serbia: the family is on the first place, follows the household and social patriotism, sustainable development, culture, national identity and strong Serbia. Day by day more and more organizations and public figures supporting the movement of “Dveri Srpske” and are united in the fight for the life of Serbia. February of 2012. “Dveri Srpske” made a new alliance with the people. “Dveri Srpske” does not owe anything to anyone except to their own people and all of us are grateful to our fatherland! "You have Serbia only - without you there is no SERBIA !" .

  • The Serbian Orthodox Church and the New Serbian Identity
    Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia THE SERBIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH AND THE NEW SERBIAN IDENTITY Belgrade, 2006 This Study is a part of a larger Project "Religion and Society," realized with the assistance of the Heinrich Böll Foundation Historical Confusion At the turn of the penultimate decade of the 20th century to the last, the world was shocked by the (out-of-court) pronouncement of the death verdict for an artist, that is, an author by the leader of a theocratic regime, on the grounds that his book insulted one religion or, to be more exact, Islam and all Muslims. Naturally, it is the question of the famous Rushdie affair. According to the leader of the Iranian revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini, the novel “Satanic Verses” by Salman Rushdie was blasphemous and the author deserved to be sentenced to death by a fatwa. This case - which has not been closed to this day - demonstrated in a radical way the seriousness and complexity of the challenge which is posed by the living political force of religious fundamentalism(s) to the global aspirations of the concept of liberal capitalist democracy, whose basic postulates are a secular state and secular society. The fall of the Berlin Wall that same year (1989) marked symbolically the end of an era in the international relations and the collapse of an ideological- political project. In other words, the circumstances that had a decisive influence on the formation of the Yugoslav and Serbian society in the post- World War II period were pushed into history. Time has told that the mentioned changes caused a tragic historical confusion in Yugoslavia and in Serbia, primarily due to the unreadiness of the Yugoslav and, in particular, Serbian elites to understand and adequately respond to the challenges of the new era.

  • The Right-Wing Extremism in Serbia
    INTERNATIONAL POLICY ANALYSIS Right-Wing Extremism in Serbia JOVO BAKIC February 2013 n During the 1990s the Serbian Radical Party (SRS) was the most important promoter of the far right in Serbia. Slobodan Milošević’s regime managed to keep it under control, thanks to its control over the mass media, although the SRS managed to poll 30 percent of the vote. However, after the political changes of October, 5th, 2000 (the fall of the Milošević regime) and the former SRS leader Vojislav Šešelj becoming an indictee before the Hague Tribunal (ICTY), the SRS split in 2008. The majority of the party and its supporters turned to the duo Tomislav Nikolić and Aleksandar Vučić, who since then have made successful efforts to pragmatically re-profile the new Serbian Progressive Party (SNP) as a moderately conservative political party. Following the general elections of 2012 the SNP formed a coalition government to- gether with the post-Milošević SPS and Nikolić won last years’ presidential election. n Currently there is no powerful far-right party in Serbia that would unite the far right under one umbrella. This significantly weakens the action potential of the far right. After the defeat of the »old« SRS in the 2012 elections and the SNP’s evolution into a moderate national-conservative party, Serbia today is one of the countries in Europe with no far-right political party in parliament, for the first time since the break-up of former Yugoslavia. n However, there are strong movements at the far right of the political spectrum that despise parliamentarianism and political parties.

  • Session Report
    31st SESSION Strasbourg, 19-21 October 2016 CG31(2016)21 19 October 2016 Information report on the observation of local and provincial elections in Serbia (24 April 2016) Monitoring Committee Rapporteur1: Karim VAN OVERMEIRE, Belgium (R, NR) Summary Further to an invitation by the Republic Electoral Commission of Serbia, the Congress’ Bureau decided to deploy a limited Electoral Assessment Mission in order to monitor the local and provincial elections organised on 24 April 2016. The early Parliamentary elections held on the same day in Serbia were observed by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. The present information report reflects the key findings of the 12-member delegation based on in- depth briefings in Belgrade and Novi Sad prior to the E-Day and on observations made by six Congress teams in more than 120 polling stations throughout the country, with a special attention to the organisation of the regional elections in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina and the vote organised for the Municipal Councils. Apart from isolated irregularities, the elections were carried out in a calm and orderly manner, largely in line with European electoral standards. However, the Congress’ delegation found that there was room for improvement of the practical side of the elections, notably regarding the protection of the secrecy of the vote and the level of professionalism of the electoral administration. In particular, the extended composition of polling boards led to difficulties in managing different aspects of the electoral process including the vote count. At the same time, the Congress supports a genuine reform in order to complement the legal framework of elections focusing on issues such as party and campaign financing, misuse of administrative resources, the quality of the voters’ lists, candidates’ registration and the minority status of political parties.

  • Parliamentary Elections in Serbia –
    Parliamentary Elections in Serbia – Clear Victory for the Serbian President Silvia Nadjivan, IDM Lucas Maximilian Schubert, IDM The Serbian Parliamentary elections on June 21th, 2020 have brought a clear victory to the Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, who had however overrided the Serbian constitution by dominating the previous election campaigns with his omnipresence. In fact, the winning party, the Serbian Progressive Party (Srpska Napredna Stranka, SNS) has formed an additional list named “Aleksandar Vučić – for our children”, although Vučić by law is not allowed to candidate at all. With 62.6% the Cementing SNS will expectedly form the next government together with its previous junior partner, the governmental Socialist Party of Serbia (Socijalistička Partija Srbije, SPS) under Ivica Dačić that gained 10.9% power together with its pre-electoral coalition partner United Serbia (Jedinstvena Srbija, JS) under Dragan Marković Palma. Apart from the minority parties that do not have to pass the census, another party will be with 4.2% represented in the parliament. It is the one of the former water polo player Aleksandar Šapić, Victory for Serbia (Pobeda za Srbiju, SPAS), who is explicitly interested in joining the government. In such a case, the parliament would not include any opposition anymore, while the Serbian government at any rate will be able to cement its power. What is not certain for now is which SNS politician will be nominated under the auspices of the Serbian President to take over the function of the Prime Minister. Not only presidential or autocratic habits within a parliamentary democracy system appear to be unusual, but also the Serbian Parliamentary elections as such, since they have been the first national in Europe after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Chapel Hill 2011 Approved by: Dr. Milada Anna Vachudova Dr. Gary Marks Dr. Liesbet Hooghe © 2011 Patrick O’Donnell ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT PATRICK O’DONNELL: It’s All the Same, Only the Names Have Changed: the Impact of the Kosovo Issue on Domestic Politics in Post-Milosevic Serbia (Under the direction of Dr. Milada Anna Vachudova) The purpose of this thesis is to explore the link between the Kosovo issue and Serbian domestic politics. My hypothesis is that Kosovo has been decisive in turning Serbia away from the European Union and the West and toward ultra-nationalism. Shunning the West and EU membership allows corrupt politicians to delay political and economic reforms that would likely impact the way they profit from the Serbian political system. There is also a measure of ethnic outbidding that is taking place. Although some political parties are willing to compromise on Kosovo, they do not feel it is a politically viable position to hold. With the election of Boris Tadic and his pro-reform Democratic Party in 2008, however, Serbia may be ready to move past an issue that has held its politics hostage since the breakup of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s.

  • Serbia: Background and U.S
    Serbia: Background and U.S. Relations Updated November 16, 2018 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44955 Serbia: Background and U.S. Relations Summary Following the conflicts in the 1990s in the countries of the former Yugoslavia, the prospect of membership in the Euro-Atlantic community and the active presence of the United States and European Union (EU) in the Western Balkans provided a level of stability that allowed most of the countries of the region to adopt economic and political reforms. During this time, Slovenia and Croatia joined the EU. These countries, along with Albania and Montenegro, also joined NATO. Other countries of the Balkans are pursuing EU and NATO membership. However, many observers in Europe and the United States have expressed concern that political stability in the Western Balkans, sometimes referred to as Europe’s “inner courtyard,” remains tenuous. Several of these countries have experienced political crises, sometimes involving third- party interference, as well as stagnating economies, high unemployment, and high rates of emigration. These crises have raised concerns that any decrease in EU or U.S. presence could create a regional vacuum in which transnational crime, radicalization, or terrorism could flourish. Furthermore, some observers are concerned with the growing economic and political role of Russia, China, and other states whose agendas in the Western Balkans might conflict with U.S. and EU interests in the region. Some observers see Serbia as relatively stable, despite its historically difficult relations with its neighbors, its ongoing dispute with Kosovo, recent concerns over its commitment to democratic rule, and its desire to balance its orientation toward the West with its historical ties to Russia.

With the exception of some incidents, the delegation stated that the elections were conducted in an overall calm and orderly manner in, mostly, well-organised polling stations. The Congress also referred to improvements in the legal framework and the electoral system of Serbia (a new allocation system for mandates and the abolition of the so-called blank resignations of candidates) which had positive effects on the identification of local leadership. However, the organisation of three elections – at presidential, parliamentary and municipal/local level – on the same day has meant that local elections were largely overshadowed by the national vote. Matters of concern from a Congress perspective remain the infringement of the secrecy of the vote, the
