Kosovo – da li EU postaje statusno neutralna?
Nakon što je od 2008. godine nastojala da podrže nametanje vladavine Prištine na severu Kosova, Evropska unija bi sada mogla da pređe ka više statusno neutralnom pristupu. Mnogo toga će ponovo zavisiti od detalja, kao i od toga da li će SAD ići u istom pravcu.
Perspectives on the Bosniak National Minority Council
As part of TransConflict Serbia's project, ‘Promoting and strengthening the role of the Albanian and Bosniak National Minority Councils (NMCs)’, Mirjana Kosić, executive director of TransConflict Serbia, visited Novi Pazar and met with representatives of the three respective Bosniak lists.
Bosnia – not your father’s Sporazum
The current politics of “2 against 1” reflect the failure that is Bosnia and the danger that a Dayton arrangement acceptable to none of the country’s players - except maybe for Dodik - could provoke challenges even more unexpected and indelible than those so far evident.
The love triangle – Serbia, Kosovo and the EU
The next elections will determine whether Serbia chooses the 'European perspective' or the so-called 'Kosovo path'; whether it will continue to uphold its territorial integrity or seek to amend its constitution in order to join the EU.
Da li će SAD prestati da same sebi kopaju rupu na Kosovu?
Trenutni razgovori između Beograda i Prištine mogli bi biti prilika za SAD da naprave pomak od politike koja je postala ovisna o njihovoj punoj podršci kosovskom premijeru, Hašimu Tačiju, bez obzira na optužbe protiv njega.
Inside Conflict – Banja Luka today
As part of our Inside Conflict initiative, TransConflict Serbia organised a study-visit to Banja Luka for a group of American students participating in the SIT Study Abroad Programme – Peace and Conflict Studies in the Balkans.
Western Balkans – the situation is gloomier than it may seem
While the EU is closing the final chapters of the accession negotiations with Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro are keenly eyeing the prospect of becoming member candidates. However, can the EU integrate the whole region, including Kosovo and Bosnia?
Cross-border cooperation in the Western Balkans – roadblocks and prospects
Whilst business-related initiatives continue to drive regional and cross-border cooperation, politics and implementation capacity have failed to live-up to the standards expected by the plethora of international bodies engaged in strengthening this key area.
The dance of intimate enemies
Settlements in Bosnia and Kosovo (the former is no more “settled” than the latter) are possible only if local contestants — who know each other so well — expel international mavens from their discussions and take each other on directly.
Ples intimnih neprijatelja
Rešenja u Bosni i na Kosovu (prvi slučaj nije ništa više "rešen" u odnosu na potonji) su moguća samo ukoliko lokalni suprostavljeni akteri - koji se uzajamno jako dobro poznaju - iz svojih diskusija izbace međunarodne stručnjake i direktno se upuste u diskusiju jedni sa drugima.
In defense of Richard Holbrooke
Critics of Richard Holbrooke and the Dayton Peace Agreement are completely wrong - it was not Dayton that ethnically divided Bosnian politics and society, but rather that Bosnia's divided society and politics resulted in Dayton.
U odbranu Ričarda Holbruka
Kritičari Ričarda Holbruka i Dejtonskog mirovnog sporazuma u potpunosti greše – nije Dejton ono što je etnički podelilo bosansku politiku i društvo, već su bosansko podeljeno društvo i suprostavljena politika doveli do Dejtona.
Albania’s divisive political atmosphere – time for a change
Amidst the threat of further political fragmentation, Albania should launch an independent investigation into the deaths of four protesters and ensure that May's local elections are both free and fair.
Kosovo – još uvek u haosu
Dok je Kosovo još uvek u haosu, tek će se videti da li će Kvinta pritisnuti Prištinu na prihvatanje neophodnih kompromisa i da li će EULEX učiniti išta da spreči ponovne provokacije Prištine na terenu.
South Sudan – a new country, new beginning in Africa
As the product of an agreement between the governments of north and south, it is highly unlikely that the subsequent referendum and secession of South Sudan will create a new precedent in international relations, nor negatively affect countries that have similar demands for border changes.
Južni Sudan – nova zemlja, novi početak u Africi
Kao proizvod sporazuma između vlada severa i juga, malo je vjerovatno da će referendum i otcjepljenje Južnog Sudana stvoriti novi presedan u međunarodnim odnosima, niti se negativno odraziti na zemlje koje imaju slične zahtjeve za promenom granica.
Kosovo – shoes, walls, land and tables
As part of 'Mediation through Monasteries in Kosovo', TransConflict is pleased to present a short film, entitled 'Shoes, walls, land and tables', which documents the visit by Reverend Donald Reeves to the Monasteries of Peć and Dečani in Kosovo.
Kosovo – a declaration of dependence?
Kosovo's declaration of independence represents the failure of the international community to move beyond power politics, disguising Realpolitik with international law.
Kosovo – deklaracija o zavisnosti?
Kosovska Deklaracija nezavisnosti predstavlja neuspeh međunarodne zajednice da deluje izvan politike moći, pokušavajući da realpolitiku predstavi kao međunarodno pravo.
A dark cloud hangs over Kosovo
The Council of Europe has both the opportunity and obligation to provide much-needed momentum to an international investigation into the serious allegations made by Dick Marty against Hashim Thaci and the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA).
