HELSINŠKE SVESKE №09: In the Triangle of the State Power - Army, Police, Paramilitary Units

Author(s): Stipe Sikavica,Budimir Babović,Miloš Vasić,Filip Švarm / Language(s): English

Even if one were to maintain that some psychological, political and professional features of Yugoslav Army resembled those of the armies of some European states undergoing transition, then one must also admit that the Yugoslav Army does not have its counterpart anywhere in the world when it comes to the YA origins, background, war experience and the current political engagement. One could say without any exaggeration that it is a phenomenon among the armies of the world, as much as the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is a phenomenon among other countries in the world. At least this assertion applies to the state and its army during the rule of Slobodan Milošević. It was created not through transformation, as the versions of the domestic (both active and retired) military professionals imply (see, for example, Veljko Kadijević, My perception of the war, Beograd 1993 page 113) but by simple downsizing and (mere renaming) of the former Yugoslav People's Army to the Serbian-Montenegrin combat and high officers cadres. That process evolved in a frightening wanton war destruction and wandering “of the armed force of all our peoples and nationalities” from Karavanka mountains in Slovenia to Danube and Drina. The Army of Yugoslavia after ten years of its existence is still searching for its own identity.

Uredba Europske Unije 883/2004 i ugovori o socijalnom osiguranju s državama nasljednicama SFR Jugoslavije

Author(s): Mihovil Rismondo / Language(s): Croatian

Nakon primitka Republike Hrvatske u članstvo Europske unije za novu državu članicu otvorilo se pitanje odnosa ugovora o socijalnom osiguranju koje je Hrvatska nakon 08. listopada 1991. sklopila i primjenjuje sa ostalim državama, a posebno onima nastalim na tlu bivše SFR Jugoslavije koja je dotle predstavljala jedno državno područje i jedinstveno tržište rada, sa usklađenim socijalnim zakonodavstvom. Na njemu su razdoblja provedena kod nositelja socijalnog osiguranja pojedinih republika i pokrajina imala jednaku vrijednost u pogledu ostvarivanja prava iz mirovinskog osiguranja, kao i prava iz drugih grana socijalnog osiguranja. Slijedom učinka jedinstvenog tržišta rada i slobode rada na području čitave bivše federalne države, mnoge su osobe navršile mirovinski staž u više raznih tadašnjih republika i pokrajina, danas zasebnih država. Također, zbog značajne ekonomske emigracije, koja traje još od šezdesetih godina prošloga stoljeća, veliki broj osoba s područja bivše SFR Jugoslavije zapošljavao se i radio po državama članicama današnje EU (i tamo bio osiguran), a dio njih danas ima i njihovo državljanstvo, tj. državljani su EU. Danas ta razdoblja mirovinskog staža, navršena u Hrvatskoj, Sloveniji, drugim državama nastalim iza SFR Jugoslavije, te u ostalim državama članicama EU, predstavljaju očekivana prava iz socijalnog osiguranja za navedene osobe. Naime, za te osobe ponekad je od presudne važnosti da im se pri odlasku u mirovinu ili u drugim situacijama u kojima ostvaruju neko pravo iz socijalnog osiguranja, kada je to potrebno, uračunaju sva razdoblja osiguranja koja su navršile u svim državama njihova rada i da im se prizna pravo na davanje prema zakonodavstvu države u kojoj su radili i bili osigurani. U vezi s time, valja napomenuti da je odlukom Suda Europske unije u predmetu Gottardo određeno da se u svrhu ispunjenja uvjeta mirovinskog staža za starosnu mirovinu uzmu u obzir i razdoblja staža osiguranja navršena u trećoj državi, s kojom jedna od država članica primjenjuje ugovor o socijalnom osiguranju. Radi toga, ovdje će se ispitati pravne mogućnosti za realiziranje prava navedenih osoba u novonastalim uvjetima primjenom Uredbe 883/2004 i ugovora o socijalnom osiguranju, koji su ostali i dalje na snazi i u primjeni.

Context Analysis of the Security Sector Reform in Macedonia 1991 – 2008

Author(s): Cvete Koneska,Biljana Kotevska / Language(s): English

This paper looks at the general political and security sector context in the last two decades since Macedonian independence, and traces the major trends and events that shaped the political developments and progress with security sector reforms in post-communist Macedonia. For the purpose of this paper, the analysis of the post-communist transition period is divided in three parts, corresponding to the three periods on which we divided the context since 1991, for the sake of greater clarity and analytical coherence. For each of these three periods, we conducted an analysis of major political developments as well as institutional change. Based on this analysis, each period is qualified as characterised by a specific nature, whether post-authoritarian, conflict, postconflict, or integrationist. In the Annex attached to this paper, a short overview of the key political actors and their role in the security sector reforms and the political transition in Macedonia is offered. The first period analyzed is the period from the declaration of independence from Yugoslavia, in 1991 until the ethnic conflict in 2001. These years mark the first decade of independent statehood and democratic politics in Macedonia. The second period stretches from the ethnic conflict in 2001 until the NATO Summit in Bucharest in early 2008. The 2001 conflict had a profound impact on the political and security context in Macedonia. It produced inter-ethnic violence and culminated in a far-reaching reform of the constitutional and institutional set-up of Macedonian democracy.

Kazakhstan and the South Caucasus Corridor in the Wake of the Georgia-Russia War

Author(s): Nargis Kassenova / Language(s): English

The Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline links Azerbaijan and Georgia to European energy markets, establishing the basis for their geopolitical reorientation of recent years. These two countries also created the South Caucasus transit corridor for resourcerich Central Asian states. Kazakhstan has slowly but surely worked to develop this westbound route for its oil exports. It has been building port facilities on its side of the Caspian, bought tanker ships and acquired a terminal in Georgia. The August war between Georgia and Russia revealed the insecurity of transit through Georgia and reminded us of the fragile stability of the region of South Caucasus. It seemed to put Kazakhstan’s plans of ’going west’ in jeopardy. However, developments that took place this autumn show that Astana is not ready to give up the South Caucasus route, which is highly important for commercial and geopolitical reasons.

Strategic Water Resources in Central Asia: In Search of a New International Legal Order

Author(s): Stephen Hodgson / Language(s): English

The allocation and use of the water resources of Central Asia is one of the most difficult issues to arise out of the break-up of the Soviet Union. In outline the question is simple: how should the waters of the great Central Asian rivers, the Syr Darya and Amu Darya, be used? To generate much-needed hydropower electricity in the mountainous countries in which they rise? Or for irrigation in the energy-rich downstream countries? Added into the mix is the fact that due largely to over-use for irrigation, both rivers flow (notionally, at least) into the depleted wastes of the environmental disaster that is the Aral Sea. In Soviet times the situation was simple: major decisions were made by Moscow. Independence changed that. Now, beyond the issue of how the existing Soviet-era infrastructure should be operated (for irrigation or hydropower), tensions are rising over the proposed construction of significant new hydropower projects in the upstream countries. Indeed water issues are seen to pose a significant threat to regional security. In February 2009 Uzbekistan’s President Karimov told his cabinet that country’s water was under threat and invoked the need to safeguard the interests of future generations of Uzbeks.

The EU’s Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection Policy in Central Asia: Past Crises and Emergencies to Come

Author(s): Bruno De Cordier / Language(s): English

The 2007 EU Strategy for Central Asia stresses security and stability through regional cooperation and integration, poverty reduction and good governance. But the strategy hardly mentions humanitarian aid, a security-related activity that not only plays a crucial role in strengthening European soft power in crisis-affected areas, but also predates many of the European Union’s programmes in the Central Asian region. Between 2007 and 2012, the region’s governments requested foreign aid for a dozen humanitarian emergencies. The majority were floods, earthquakes and so-called compound crises caused by exceptionally cold winters, a breakdown in energy supply and the reduction of winter crop yields and livestock. The same period also saw a political emergency with serious communal violence, displacement and habitat destruction. In one way or another, these crises affected around 4.5 million people out of a total population of some 58 million. These emergencies clearly reflect the hazard risks continually faced by the Central Asian region due to its physical and human geography as well as its sociopolitical legacies and dynamics.

East Meets West - Reorienting the EU’s Central Asia Strategy

Author(s): Michael Emerson,Johannes Linn,Natalia Mirimanova / Language(s): English

The European Union approved its first Central Asia strategy document in June 2007 for the period 2007-2013. From the EU’s perspective, the Central Asia Strategy (CAS) rounded out the strategic approach towards its Eastern neighbours, which includes its European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), its Eastern Partnership (EaP) and its bilateral relationship with Russia enshrined in the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA), which is currently subject to negotiation for a successor agreement. The CAS represents significant progress in focusing explicit attention on Central Asia as a region of significance for Europe, and in spelling out the key objectives and instrumentalities.

From Central Asia into EurAsia

Author(s): Michael Emerson,Iqbol Qoraboyev,Maxim Ryabkov,Marlène Laruelle,Alisher Ilkhamov / Language(s): English

Having recently spent some time in all five states of Central Asia on the EUCAM project monitoring the EU’s strategy there I am persuaded that the regional dimension to this strategy needs reconsideration. The EU wishes to foster enlightened regional cooperation among the five states and allocates 30% of its budget to regional projects. The EU comes to the region with a presumption that regional cooperation leading maybe even to regional integration is a good idea. But has the regional dimension to the EU Central Asia strategy been well conceived for the 21st century when the map of Eurasia is being radically redrawn, after the 20th century when Central Asia was a region integrated into the Soviet Union, sealed off from the rest of the world?

Harvesting the ‘White Gold’

Author(s): Jos Boonstra,Sébastien Peyrouse,Marlène Laruelle,Tika Tsertsvadze / Language(s): English

How do you know that your sweater has not been made of cotton harvested by Uzbek children or produced by their counterparts in a Bangladeshi workshop? You don’t. Many companies do not carefully check through a ‘track and trace’ system if their products are produced by forced or child labour. At the same time many governments do not follow the labour laws that they signed up to. The sad truth is that fashion demands in the West still largely prevail over human rights in developing countries. But there is progress. This month 60 clothing firms agreed to boycott products with Uzbek cotton until hard proof exists that Uzbekistan has stopped child labour. This applies at least to those products in which Uzbek cotton can be traced which is often not possible yet because the link between cotton traders and Asian factories is often not clear to Western brands. The pledge of the clothing industry was spurred by the decision of the organisers of New York’s fashion week to cancel Gulnara Karimova’s show due to concerns over child labour. Unknowingly the Uzbek president’s daughter and ambassador to Spain and the UN in Geneva has helped to highlight her country’s human rights shortcomings.

Ruski otpor globalizaciji

Author(s): Ivan Yotov Krastev / Language(s): Serbian

Jednog martovskog jutra 2014. Evropljani su se probudili u Putinovom svetu. Odjednom mir više nije bio prirodno stanje stvari. Međunarodni sporazumi i institucije su prestali da štite njihove državne granice. Sa šokom su otkrili da ekonomska međuzavisnost može biti izvor velikih nesigurnosti i da je post-hladnoratovski poredak srušen.

Savršena savest

Author(s): Jakob Augstein / Language(s): Serbian

Predsednik Nemačke Joachim Gauck nam je pokazao svet onakvim kakvim ga Zapad zamišlja. Tokom posete Gdanjsku povodom obeležavanja 75 godina od početka Drugog svetskog rata, Gauck je gledajući ka istoku izjavio: „Koliko smo se samo prevarili verujući da je očuvanje mira i stabilnosti odnelo konačnu pobedu nad željom za moć“. Zapad želi samo mir i stabilnost, želja za moći mu je strana? Onda amen. To je naša savršena savest.

Kognitivna disonanca

Author(s): / Language(s): Serbian

Susret Putina i Porošenka u Minsku (umesto neodržanog sastanka u Berlinu) završen je rezultatom ravnim apsolutnoj nuli. Vladimir Putin je izjavio da nije on taj s kim treba razgovarati o miru u Ukrajini već da su to predstavnici Narodnih republika Donjecka i Luganska, a ministar inostranih poslova Sergej Lavrov je najavio da se Rusija sprema da na zaraćeno područje pošalje novi humanitarni konvoj. Ideja o upućivanju humanitarnog konvoja je tek postfaktum postala do kraja jasna. Njena suština nije u tome da se na teritoriju suseda, u „trojanskom konvoju“ prevezu vojnici, oružje ili vojna tehnika. Sve pobrojano se već nekoliko meseci uredno prevozi preko rusko-ukrajinske granice.

Politika sankcija ruskom energetskom sektoru

Author(s): Richard Sakwa / Language(s): Serbian

Šestog marta 2014. EU i SAD su postigle sporazum o postupnom uvođenju sankcija. U prvom redu, obustavljeni su planovi za bližu ekonomsku saradnju EU i Rusije, uključujući i razgovore o nastavku Sporazuma o partnerstvu i saradnji koji je istekao 2008, kao i pripreme za samit G8 planiran za jun u Sočiju. Nakon Krimskog referenduma 16. marta i prisajedinjenja ove oblasti Rusiji, sprovedena je u delo pretnja o ciljanom kažnjavnju pojedinih Rusa i Ukrajinaca. Amerika je nametnula zamrzavanje imovine i zabrane putovanja za 11 lica, a EU je sankcionisala 21 osobu. Ubrzo je EU dodala još 12 lica, dok su SAD takođe proširile spisak i dodale Bank Rosiju.

Breskve i globalna kriza

Author(s): Paul Mason / Language(s): Serbian

Italija je opet u recesiji i sve bliža deflaciji; nemačka ekonomija opada a francuska stagnira. Britanija beleži rekordnu stopu zaposlenosti ali su joj realne zarade u sunovratu. Samo Sjedinjene Države – koje su se upustile u ogromna zaduživanja, restruktuirale banke i naštampale svu silu para – uživaju u nečemu nalik održivom oporavku, ali i to se održava samo na obećanju da će centralna banka stimulisati ekonomiju do u beskraj.
