VELIMIR TERZIĆ, SLOM KRALJEVINE JUGOSLAVIJE 1941.

Author(s): Savo Skoko / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 2/1983

Obimno dvotomno delo našeg poznatog (nedavno preminulog) vojnog istoričara, jednog od proslavljenih rukovodilaca narodnooslobodilačkog rata i general-pukovnika u penziji Velimira Terzića, Slom Kraljevine Jugoslavije 1941., koje je izašlo iz štampe početkom 1983. godine, izazvalo je - sudeći po tome da je prvo izdanje štampano u tiražu od 7000 primeraka već rasprodano - veliko interesovanje naše javnosti, ali i kontraverzne komentare i ocene. Neki ga, naime, svrstavaju u retrogradna dela, dok drugi ističu da je »Terzićeva knjiga odlična, poučna i istorijski do kraja tačna«, da se radi о delu koje »baca snažno svetlo najpre na prvu jugoslovensku državu u njenom kratkom postojanju, a zatim na njen vojnički i politički slom«. Sam autor u uvodnoj napomeni ističe da je za sve vreme svojih mukotrpnih petnaestogodišnjih istraživačkih napora, koji su bili skopčani s tako reći nepremostivim teškoćama, imao na umu samo jedan cilj - da i kao savremenik i kao učesnik događaja о kojima je reč » najsavesnije i najobjektivnije iznese istorijsku istinu«. Pogledajmo šta je Terzić uradio na ostvarenju toga cilja.

BOŠNJAČKE FAMILIJE OPĆINE SREBRENICA: ANTROPOGEOGRAFSKA ISTRAŽIVANJA (I)

Author(s): Alija Suljić,Edina Suljić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 11/2019

This paper explores and analyzes the most important anthropogeographic characteristics of the development of the municipality of Srebrenica until the mid-1990s, especially changes in the economic and educational structure of the municipal population. Particular attention was paid to the territorial distribution, that is, the representation of certain Bosniak families in the settlements of the municipality, as well as the number of households and the total number of persons per family. In addition, the basic demographic losses of Bosniak families in the Srebrenica municipality during the aggression against the independent state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 1992-1995, are presented. and the massacres of Bosniak men after the occupation of the so-called UN Srebrenica Safe Zone, July 1995. Data on the number of widows and orphaned children as a result of the mass killing of Bosniak men during aggression and genocide were analyzed and presented by families.

ZNAČAJ DOBARA KULTURNO-HISTORIJSKOG NASLIJEĐA ZA NAUČNA ISTRAŽIVANJA O RATNIM ZBIVANJIMA U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI (1992-1995)

Author(s): Azem Kožar / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 11/2019

The paper gives priority to the importance of cultural and historical heritage as a source of knowledge for any scientific research - under which dominant historiographical research is most often too simplistic. This type of sources on which historical truth is based has not been given adequate attention during and after the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Such non-civilizational behaviors (authorities of all kinds and levels, institutions of culture and science, political centers of power, etc.) are contrary not only to the provisions of international, but also to the fragmented, legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. For the scientific interpretation of the causes and motives of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995), official documents of civilian and military authorities directly or indirectly involved in war events, committing numerous war crimes and genocide crimes, are fundamental sources for the historical elaboration of centuries-old hegemonic and aggressive Great Serbian policies towards Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially towards Bosniaks as the largest indigenous people. All other sources of information are also of great importance: testimonies of event participants, mass graves of victims, photos and videos of individuals, confessions of perpetrators of war crimes, videos and written records of the enormous suffering of cultural and historical heritage - especially those of Probosnian and Bosniak provenance , as well as all other types of evidence that are only partially preserved and partly stored in institutions of culture and science. This paper points to the need to protect, collect, preserve and use all sources of knowledge about war events, especially war crimes committed, as a first-class obligation of the State of Bosnia and Herzegovina and all its administrative levels of government, academic and cultural and scientific institutions, respectively, each of her loyal citizens, because it is, among other things, their civilizing duty and obligation.

THE KOSOVO MYTH

Author(s): Ivan Čolović / Language(s): English Issue: 152/2019

The historians who studied the historical sources on the Battle of Kosovo, from Ilarion Ruvarac and Ljubomir Kovačević, the founder of critical historiography in Serbia, to Sima Ćirković, who studied the relevant sources during the last decades of the 20th century, concluded that there existed few reliable sources on it. In other words, the critical verification of the reliability of the documents about the Battle of Kosovo has resulted in the fact that we have increasingly less reliable knowledge about it. “

Stranačka politika u Vukovaru 1990-1991.

Author(s): Vladimir Filipović / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 16/2019

This article provides an analysis of local politics in the Vukovar municipality, from the pluralization of the political party scene in Croatia that started in early 1990 to the breakdown of democratically elected local institutions in May 1991. This relatively short period was marked by strong political polarization of the two largest national communities in the municipality, the Croats and the Serbs. In the process, there were three parties that played key roles in the political arena and in national mobilization – the League of Communists of Croatia/the Party of Democratic Change (SKH/SDP), the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) and the Serb Democratic Party (SDS).

Organizovana nevinost i isključivanje (ili o nacionalnim državama i državljanstvu nakon ratova i masovnih zločina)

Author(s): Vlasta Jalušić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1-4/2020

Od kraja ratova na teritorijama bivše SFRJ u 90-im godinama je bilo napisano i rečeno dosta toga o tranzicijskoj pravdi i o problematici ne-suočavanja sa prošlošću u postjugoslovenskoj situaciji. Ali ne-suočavanje sa prošlošću, pogotovo sa zločinima, samo je jedan simptom ustrajavanja dubljeg problema koji je kreirao okolnosti u kojima su kolektivni zločini tek postali mogući – okolnosti koje i nakon rata mogu ustrajavati i dalje. Ovaj tekst je pokušaj promišljanja tog problema kroz tematiziranje onoga što uz pomoć Hannah Arendt zovem “nevolje posttotalitarnog doba” i “organizovana nevinost” i koje pokušavam da objasnim kroz primer procesa uspostavljanja postjugoslovenskih nacionalnih država.

ANDRIĆISM: An Aesthetics for Genocide

Author(s): Rusmir Mahmutćehajić / Language(s): English Issue: 04/2013

Andrić’s fiction is closely identified with Bosnia and often taken for a faithful reflection of that country’s culture, social relations, and tragic history. Rather than reflecting Bosnian pluralism, however, his oeuvre undermines its very metaphysical underpinnings, in part because his works are so firmly rooted in the European experience of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From the perspective of a dominant modernity, certain cultures and peoples came to be presented as un-European, Oriental, and essentially foreign. Bosnia, which had always been a religiously plural society, now became one where ideological models excluded its Muslim inhabitants. In line with longstanding European practice, Andrić drew an image of the Bosnian Muslim as Turk and the Turk as Bosnian Muslim, converting the real content of Bosnian society into a plastic material for the ideologues of homogenous societies to use in modelling external and internal enemies that were essentially identical. This process required as its precondition the destruction of that enemy through a process described as the social and cultural liberation of the Christian subject. Over time, this exclusion took on forms now termed genocide. In creating this image, Andrić deployed narrative techniques whose function may fairly be characterized as the aesthetic dissimulation of our ethical responsibilities towards the other and the different. Such elements from his oeuvre have been used in the nationalist ideologies anti-Muslimism serves as a building block. In this paper, certain aspects of the ideological reading and interpretation of Andrić’s oeuvre are presented.

The Owl of Minerva Flies Only at Dusk? British Diplomacy on the Eve of Yugoslav Wars

Author(s): Josip Glaurdić / Language(s): English Issue: 03/2013

Could the Western foreign policy makers have done anything to prevent the violence accompanying the breakup of Yugoslavia? The answer to that question largely depends on their level of awareness of what was happening in the South Slavic federation in the run-up to war. This article analyzes a string of newly declassified documents of the British Foreign Office related to the February 1991 visit of a high-level British political delegation to Yugoslavia, together with interviews with some of the meetings’ protagonists. These declassified documents and interviews offer a unique snapshot in the development of the Yugoslav crisis and Britain’s policy in the region. They give us a clear picture of the goals and strategies of the principal Yugoslav players and show us what the West knew about the true nature of the Yugoslav crisis and when. The article’s conclusions are clear. Yugoslavia’s breakup and impending violence did not require great foresight. Their cause was known well in advance because it was preannounced—it was the plan of the Serbian regime of Slobodan Milošević to impose a centralized Yugoslavia upon the other republics or, if that failed, to use force to create a Greater Serbia on Yugoslavia’s ruins. Crucially, British policy at the time did nothing to dissuade Milošević from his plan and likely contributed to his confidence in using violence to pursue the creation of a new and enlarged Serbian state.

The Issue of Genocidal Intent and Denial of Genocide. A Case Study of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Author(s): Edina Bećirević / Language(s): English Issue: 04/2010

This article discusses the issue of special genocidal intent and, within it, the relevance of judicially established truths to the wider historical context. It suggests that genocide researchers should not rely only on verdicts—which either deny or confirm genocide—as historical truth but, rather, use the judicial process and trial evidence as signposts to direct their research. The author uses the case study of Serbian genocide against Bosnian Muslims from 1992 to 1995 to illustrate the failings of judicially established truths in determining wider historical truth. Wartime documentation, interviews with witnesses, and court transcripts are analyzed to illustrate how this wider truth is sometimes lost when focus on the importance of supporting documents is overshadowed by a final verdict. The case of Srebrenica is outlined to illustrate how documents used in trials, as well as witness testimonies, can contribute on their own to the understanding of historical truths. In this case, a selection of trial narratives and documents is used to examine not only if there was “special intent” among Serbian political leadership to exterminate Bosnian Muslims as early as 1992, but also to determine if international community representatives were aware of that intent and ignored it consciously.

Bosnia-Hercegovina and International Justice. Past Failures and Future Solutions

Author(s): Marko Attila Hoare / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2010

Three different international courts have determined that genocide took place in Bosnia-Hercegovina in 1992-1995: the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), the International Court of Justice (ICJ), and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). Yet paradoxically, there has been virtually no punishment of this genocide, while the punishment of lesser war crimes of the Bosnian war has been very limited. The ICTY has convicted only one individual, a lowly deputy corps commander, of a genocide-related offence. The ICJ acquitted Serbia, the state that planned and launched the assault upon Bosnia-Hercegovina in 1992, of genocide and related offences, finding it guilty only of failure to prevent and punish genocide. Although Serb forces were responsible for the overwhelming majority of war crimes, the ICTY prosecution has disproportionately targeted non-Serbs in its indictments and, among Serbs, has disproportionately targeted Bosnian Serbs, with no official of Serbia or Yugoslavia yet convicted of war crimes in Bosnia. This article argues that the meagre results of the international judicial processes vis-à-vis the crimes of the Bosnian war must be sought in the structural failings, poor decision making, and political influences that affected the international courts. It argues that the international courts have failed either to deliver justice to the victims of the war crimes or to promote reconciliation among the peoples of the former Yugoslavia and suggests measures that could be taken to rectify the situation.

Përqasje historike e zhvillimit arkivor në Kosovë

Author(s): Fikrie Berisha / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 1-2/2019

The birth of documents has historically occurred when writing was born as a way of communication in society, as an objective requirement of social development and as a need for the functioning and solution of various human problems. The first documents are found early, sometime in the third millennium BC in the slave-owning states of the ancient East, then later in ancient Greece and Rome. While in the Albanian territories we find documents and archives in very early periods, since the ancient Illyrian cities, such as stone inscriptions, various chronicles or documents which protected the interests of slave owners and were kept mainly in libraries. Meanwhile, when it comes to archives and archival service in today's territory of Kosovo during the time of the Illyrians, namely the Dardan tribe, which was located in the territory of today's Kosovo and not only, we have no written evidence that speaks of archives and for staff who have manipulated written documents. We find such traces in various inscriptions, in stone inscriptions, in cemetery monuments, stelae, inscriptions dedicated to the gods, votes, on stones, etc. The first concrete efforts in terms of archives and archival service in Kosovo were made after the Second World War, the establishment of the new communist government within the former Socialist People's Federation of Yugoslavia, of which Kosovo was an administrative part, specifically in in 1951 when the Provincial State Archive was established.

Policing Via Principles: Reforming the Use of Force in the Western Balkans

Author(s): Suzette R. Grillot / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2008

After a significant period of violent conflict in the Western Balkans, countries in the region, specifically Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia-Montenegro, and the United Nations (UN) protectorate of Kosovo, have embarked on a process of democratic reform. Part of the democratization effort involves reforming the police force. One important, yet not often studied, aspect of police reform is the appropriate use of force with firearms. This study explores the process of police reform in the Western Balkan region to assess the implementation of the UN Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials. Ultimately, this study offers a view of law enforcement activities in an attempt to assess how well these countries are incorporating international standards on the use of force with firearms into their national police practices. In so doing, this research enriches our understanding of weapons issues within the context of security sector, and specifically police reform.
