10 godina procesuiranja ratnih zločina u Srbiji : konture pravde: analiza procesuiranja ratnih zločina u Srbiji u periodu od 2004. do 2013. godine.

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

At the beginning of 2014, the first decade of work of institutions specialized in processing war crimes in Serbia ended. Judging by the scale and nature of the crimes committed in the wars in the territory of the former Yugoslavia during the 1990s, bringing those responsible for those crimes to justice has had modest results. The lack of interest of institutions in the social process of dealing with the past, as well as their superficial and weak commitment to criminal justice for the past, have made Serbia a state that, on the threshold of EU membership, is an oasis of impunity for thousands of perpetrators. // The War Crimes Chamber of the High Court in Belgrade, the War Crimes Chamber of the Belgrade Court of Appeals, the War Crimes Prosecutor's Office, the High Courts in Prokuplje, Novi Sad, Nis, Požarevac, Leskovac, Kraljevo assisted in the preparation of the Analysis. Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Croatia, Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Croatia, State Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, State Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ministry of Security of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Prosecutor's Office of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, OSCE Mission Chamber of Serbia, Documenta and others. Representatives of the War Crimes Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Serbia, current and former judges of specialized war crimes chambers at the Higher and Appellate Courts in Belgrade, representatives of the Ministry of Interior, representatives of the Victims and Witnesses Assistance and Support Service, and defense attorneys made key contributions. , representatives of non-governmental organizations, victims, former witnesses from the Program for the Protection of Participants in Criminal Proceedings, legal experts and others. In talks with HLC representatives (Nikola Čukanović, Edmir Veljović, Milomir Matović and Sandra Orlović), they expressed their opinion on many aspects of war crimes prosecution in Serbia, problems in everyday work, good practice, mistakes, possible guidelines for improving work, etc. They all share the belief that a long-term strategy for prosecuting war crimes would contribute to improving the work of individual institutions and the overall results of this important social process.

DOSIJE: Zločini nad Hrvatima u Vojvodini

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

In the period from 1991 to 1995, a campaign of intimidation and pressure on Croatian civilians was conducted on the territory of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina in the Republic of Serbia, with the aim of moving them out of their homes and leaving Serbia. The campaign, which changed in intensity and peaked in the second half of 1991, from the spring to the fall of 1992 and the summer of 1995, resulted in the expulsion of tens of thousands of Croats from Vojvodina. Violence against Croats in Vojvodina included attacks on private property and religious buildings, threats, physical attacks and killings. In the period between the two censuses, in 1991 and 2002, a decrease in the number of Croats and other non-Serbs was noticeable on the territory of Vojvodina. The number of Croats decreased in 39 out of 45 municipalities in Vojvodina, and on the territory of the whole of Vojvodina, the number of Croats decreased by 18,262, ie by 24.41%. This Dossier presents evidence of events in the municipalities of Vojvodina (Ruma, Sid, Stara Pazova, Indjija, Petrovaradin and Apatin) in which the pressure on Croats to emigrate was strongest and in which the ethnic picture changed the most. The dossier is based on statements by witnesses and families of victims given to the Humanitarian Law Center (HLC), documents of the Serbian RDB, court rulings in Serbia, documents presented to the ICTY as evidence and media reports.

Proces suočavanja sa prošlošću u Crnoj Gori slučaj “Morinj“

Author(s): / Language(s): Montenegrine

Suočavanje sa prošlošću je neophodan i nezaobilazan preduslov izgradnje građanskog društva. Bez mogućnosti da osjetimo patnju žrtava i izborimo se za pravdu, šanse da izgrađujemo otvoreno društvo zasnovano na poštovanju ljudskih prava sa funkcionalnom demokratijom su značajno ograničene. Više od dvije decenije traje mučna i neizvjesna borba za otkrivanje i procesuiranje počinilaca ratnih zločina na prostorima bivše Jugoslavije. Crna Gora ima dodatno opterećenje da taj proces izvede adekvatno do kraja. Naime, u Crnoj Gori su mnogi koji su bili involvirani, po raznim osnovama, u ratna dešavanja devedesetih godina prošlog vijeka i danas na pozicijama donosioca odluka sa mogućnošću da utiču na opstrukciju istražnih radnji i sudskog procesa. Procesuiranje ratnih zločina postalo je i dio obaveza u okviru Poglavlja 23 – Pravosuđe i temeljna prava, a posljednji Izvještaj o napretku Crne Gore za 2014.godinu, koji je sačinila Evropska komisija, jasno poručuje “Crna Gora mora da osnaži svoje napore u borbi protiv nekažnjivosti ratnih zločina, i da efikasno istražuje, procesuira i kažnjava ratne zločine u skladu sa međunarodnima standardima. Svi važni navodi o ratnim zločinima moraju da se sa dužnom pažnjom isprate.” Upravo u cilju osnaživanja napora u suočavanju sa prošlošću i ohrabrenja daljeg otvaranja i adekvatnog vođenja procesa za ratne zločine u Crnoj Gori, Centar za građansko obrazovanje (CGO) je odlučio da pokrene ediciju u kojoj će publikovati materijale iz sudskih spisa koji se odnose na procesuiranje ratnih zločina. Obiman materijal iz slučaja “Morinj” je osnova za konkretan doprinos društvenoj debati i multidisciplinarnom sagledavanju uzroka i posljedica ovog slučaja koji ima ogroman društveni značaj za Crnu Goru i njeno suočavanje sa prošlošću, jer predstavlja jedini predmet koji se odnosi na ratne zločine koji utvđuje odgovornost Crne Gore, tj. državljana Crne Gore. Crnogorsko društvo ne može biti do kraja zadovoljno epilogom procesa, ali je činjenica da je postupak pred sudom najprihvatljiviji način utvrđivanja istine o ratnim zločinima. CGO se, kroz publikaciju odluka pravosuđa u slučaju “Morinj”, vodio nezaobilaznim principom u suočavanja sa prošlošću: “sve pred lice javnosti”. Stoga, publikacija daje presjek toka postupka i integralnu autentičnu građu stvorenu pred crnogorskim pravosuđem, koja će omogućiti njihovo analiziranje kao potreban doprinos izgradnji i društvenih i pravosudnih kapaciteta u Crnoj Gori. Važno je istaći ulogu nevladinih organizacija koje prepoznaju značaj procesa suočavanja sa prošlošću, kao i regionalne saradnje u osnaživanju kapaciteta za dolaženje do činjenica o ratnim zločinima. Nevladina organizacija Akcija za ljudska prava iz Podgorice u kontinuitetu obrađuje slučajeve ratnih zločina koji su se našli pred crnogorskim pravosuđem, što je i CGO-u prilikom izrade ove publikacije bilo od velike pomoći. Takođe, Centar za suočavanje sa prošlošću - Dokumenta iz Zagreba, koji u okviru svojih stalnih programa ima komunikaciju sa žrtvama iz logora “Morinj” , bio je značajan partner CGO-u u dijelu prepoznavanja interesa za objavljivanje ovakvog materijala i njegove afirmacije u Hrvatskoj. Sam postupak za ratni zločun u logoru Morinj pred crnogorskim pravosuđem počinje podizanjem optužnice od strane Odjeljenja za suzbijanje organizovanog kriminala, korupcije, terorizma i ratnih zločina Vrhovnog državnog tužilaštva KtS.br.7/08 od 15. 08. 2008.godine, protiv šestorice bivših pripadnika rezervnog sastava Jugoslovenske narodne armije (JNA) koja se dostavlja Višem sudu u Podgorici, sa predlogom za određivanje pritvora. Međutim, treba podsjetiti da je postupak iniciran ne iz Crne Gore, već od strane Hrvatske, odnosno Državnog odvjetništva Republike Hrvatske (DORH) koje je krajem marta 2007.godine dostavilo Vrhovnom državnom tužiocu Crne Gore dokazni materijal protiv desetorice državljana Crne Gore, osumnjičenih da su počinili ratne zločine protiv civila i ratnih zarobljenika u Morinju u periodu od 3. oktobra 1991. do 2. jula 1992. godine. U procesu koji slijedi, Viši sud u Podgorici, donosi presudu K.br.214/08 od 15.05.2010.godine, protiv koje Vrhovno državno tužilaštvo ulaže žalbu, kao i optuženi i njihovi braniloci. Apelacioni sud Crne Gore rješenjem Ksž.br. 20/10 usvaja žalbu, ukida presudu Višeg suda K.br.214/08 i predmet vraćen prvostepenom sudu na ponovno suđenje. Zatim, Viši sud u Podgorici, u ponovljenom postupku, donosi presudu K.br. 33/10 od 25.01.2012. godine, na koju Vrhovni državni tužilac podnosi Žalbu KtS. Br. 7/08 od 06.03.2012.godine protiv presude Ks.br. 33/10 od 25.01.2012.godine, kao i branioci optuženih. Apelacioni sud donosi presudu Kžs.br.24/12, od 06.07.2012.godine, kojom odbija kao neosnovanu žalbu VDT-a, prihvata žalbu optuženih i ukida presudu Višeg suda u Podgorici K.br. 33/10 u osuđujućem dijelu i u tom dijelu vraća predmet prvostepenom sudu na ponovno suđenje. Nakon toga, Viši sud u Podgorici, donosi presudu Ks.br. 19/12 od 31.07.2013.godine, na koju tužilaštvo podnosi žalbu KTS. Br. 7/08 od 02.10.2013.godine. Apelacioni sud Crne Gore, donosi presudu Kž-S.br.44/13, od 27.02.2014.godinu, kojom se potvrđuje presuda Višeg suda u Podgorici Ks.br. 19/12 i time se pravosnažno okončava postupak za ratne zločine u slučaju “Morinj”. Trenutno se vode postupci za utvrđivanje odštetnih zahtjeva žrtava, koje je pokrenulo više od 150 bivših logoraša, pri čemu postoje ozbiljni problemi u utvrđivanju visine iznos tih zahtjeva što će se, jedinim dijelom, vjerovatno završiti bilateralnim razgovorima Hrvatske i Crne Gore i primjenom regionalnih i evropskih najboljih praksi. Punih šest godina trajao je postupak pred crnogorskim pravosuđem, koji je izazvao naglašeno različite reakcije zainteresovanih strana. Ova publikacija je samo jedan od načina da se doprinese proširivanju baze podataka o ratnim zločinima i materijalizaciji sjećanja neophodnoj da bi proces suočavanja sa prošlošću mogao da ima potrebne efekte, ali i pokušaj da se preveniraju neke od grešaka kroz naučene lekcije.

WHITE PAPER - Citizens' Property and Status Issues in Countries signatory of the Dayton Agreement, resulted from Disintegration of Yugoslavia

Author(s): Ratko Bubalo,Boris Knežević,Branislav Radulović,Srđan Arnaut / Language(s): English

In the framework of the Igman Initiative's further strategy, program for the following period includes a number of important activities related to finding permanent solutions for citizens' property and status issues in countries signatory to the Dayton Agreement. Igman Initiative upholds the view that only efficient addressing of certain outstanding issues between Dayton Agreement countries may speed‐up further normalization of their relations and EU integration processes. At the beginning of the past decade, initiation of the process of democratization of the signatory countries of Dayton Agreement set off a number of initiatives aimed at addressing numerous problems in mutual relations. In many spheres, legislation was harmonized and reconciled with European legislation, a number of bilateral agreements were signed and a considerable number of outstanding issues were approached in practice. It was a contribution to amendment and improvement of mutual relations and cooperation. In spite of those efforts, a number of issues remain open, including citizens' status and property issues. There are several reasons for this state of affairs. First comes from the fact that these issues are closely connected with the issues concerning refugees and displaced persons, for which sufficient political will is lacking. This project is being implemented in the midst of significant ongoing regional initiatives aimed at finding permanent solutions for citizens of the signatory countries of Dayton Agreement, who were victims of gravest and widespread forms of violation of human rights, in particular refugees and displaced persons. Upon the initiative launched by European Commission, OSCE and UNHCR, the representatives of countries in this region: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro, have adopted the Sarajevo Declaration in January 2005, and took on an obligation to facilitate the return and local integration of refugees and displaced persons in their countries through joint activities and mutual cooperation. However, in spite of additional incentives and initiatives from the international community, not much progress was made in implementation of the Sarajevo Declaration, which had aimed to finalize the process of return of refugees in the region by the end of 2006.

Drawing boundaries in the Western Balkans: A people's perspective. Country Report Bosnia and Herzegovina

Author(s): Sanja Mihajlović / Language(s): English

The borders of some countries in the Western Balkans remain disputed and unresolved, posing a threat to regional peace and stability and creating an obstacle to European Intergration. This report focuses on five areas in the region where border/boundary demarcation has been problematic, with a view to informing European Union engagement. Currently, border demarcation processes in the region take place at the national political level and do not take into account the views of local populations living in border areas. This report investigates what communities living in these areas think of the approach of local, national and international actors in managing these disputes and recommends how the authorities can act on these findings.

Ima li rezonance

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

Is Yugoslavia under patronage? Is it a "guinea pig", a humiliated and insulted "banana republic"? Ever since we received the President of the Presidency of the SFRY in the presence of the European "troika", through the Brioni Declaration, to the latest Memorandum of Understanding on the EU Monitoring Mission, the public has been increasingly frequent and vocal in its criticism that Yugoslavia is no longer a fully sovereign state and that, after economic and technological dependence, it has also become politically subject to the interests of the West...

Hronika međunarodne izolacije (1990-1999)

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

This collection of my articles, comments, statements and other reactions during the Yugoslav crisis represents a kind of chronicle of the time from 1990 to 1999. As a scholar who has been engaged in international law and international relations for several decades, actively politically engaged in the country and in the international field, I could not remain silent for a single moment and ignore the actions that, by manipulating the noble feelings of the broadest layers of the people, led to armed conflicts and the disintegration of the SFRY, the impossibility of a peaceful separation and the resolution of disputed issues, the failure to implement assumed international obligations, the destruction of economic life, the cessation of cooperation with European and practically other states, the United Nations and other international organizations. A reaction similar to a nuclear chain reaction occurred, which can be followed in the contributions that I publish chronologically, by year, in this Chronicle.

Tranziciona pravda u postjugoslovenskim zemljama Izveštaj za 2010-2011. godinu

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

Investigations prepared and initiated by the Office of the War Crimes Prosecutor of the Republic of Serbia (OWCP) last a long time, and in a significant number of cases, do not result in indictments. The OWCP undertook preliminary actions in the case of mass crimes committed in the Dubrava Penitentiary in 2008; however, by the end of 2011, it still had not started an investigation. With regard to the criminal complaint filed by the HLC against the Commander of the Tenth Anti-Sabotage Detachment of the Republic of Srpska Army, Milorad Pelemiš, dating from August 2010, the OWCP publicly announced the initiation of criminal proceedings, but this still had not happened by the end of 2011. // During the year 2011, the OWCP indicted only nine persons, and only one of these indictments (charging three persons) is filed in a new case, while the indictments against six of the other persons emerged from earlier proceedings held before the Higher Court in Belgrade War Crimes Department. In cases of war crimes committed in Kosovo, the OWCP often files indictments on the basis of partial investigations, as happened in the Suva Reka/Suhareke and Ćuška/Qushk Cases...

Dossier: Camps for Croats in Serbia

Author(s): Jovana Kolarić / Language(s): English

According to the research of the Humanitarian Law Center (HLC), the largest camp formed in Serbia was in the Penitentiary-Correctional Facility (KPD) Sremska Mitrovica. In addition to this camp, there were also camps in the Banat villages of Begejci and Stajićevo, then in the JNA barracks in Aleksinac and the Penitentiary in Niš. In Serbia, there were also smaller transit camps and centers where detainees stayed for several days, before being transferred to some of the larger camps. Although there were more such places, this file singled out facilities in Šid, the Military Police Training Center in Bubanj Potok and the JNA barracks in Paragovo. All camps, except Nis, which was in the zone of responsibility of the 3rd Military District (VO) of the JNA, were in the zone of responsibility of the 1st VO of the JNA. The camp was secured by members of the JNA Military Police. JNA officers were appointed to the positions of camp commanders, but the Security Directorate of the Federal Secretariat for National Defense (UB SSNO) had real control over the camps. The captured civilians and fighters spent from a couple of days to nine months in the camps. About 7,000 people passed through the camps, and about 3,500 people were kept in them for a long time.

POLITIKA REVIZIONIZMA: Negiranje zločina i genocida u Bosni i Hercegovini 1992‒2025. (Istraživačka studija)

Author(s): Jasmin Medić,Hikmet Karčić,Muamer Džananović,Elvedin Mulagić / Language(s): Bosnian

The research study The Politics of Revisionism: Denial of Crimes and Genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 1992–2025 analyzes the systematic campaign of denial concerning war crimes and genocide committed against Bosniaks during the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Through an introduction and four case studies (Srebrenica, Prijedor, Sarajevo, and Tuzla), the authors demonstrate how denial is manifested in political documents, official statements, and institutional reports—particularly those produced by the leadership of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian entity Republika Srpska and the neighboring Republic of Serbia. Both during and after the war, perpetrators and their political successors have initiated a systematic revisionist discourse aimed at contesting the crimes committed by the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS), undermining judicial verdicts, minimizing the number of victims, and promoting a false equivalence of responsibility. Special emphasis is placed on the institutionalization of denial through reports and declarations such as those of the "All-Serb Assembly," as well as on the rejection of international resolutions, notably the United Nations resolution on the genocide in Srebrenica. The final section of the study examines the legal avenues for prosecuting genocide denial and provides recommendations for institutional and societal responses to this form of political violence.

The Kosovo Memory Book : Let people remember people. Vol. 1, 1998

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

This is the first volume of Re Kosovo Memory Book, 1998. It lists the name and surname of each person killed during the Kosovo conflict because of his or her nationality: the men, women, and children, the sick, the old, and the helpless. It is to their memory that the Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) and the Humanitarian Law Center Kosovo (HLC Kosovo) dedicate this book. Re Kosovo Memory Book, 1998 is the monument on which we have inscribed the names of all those who, during the war, lost their lives or disappeared by force1 in the period between 1 January and 31 December 1998. By the end of 2012, we will have published five more volumes of the Kosovo Memory Book. They will commemorate all those who lost their lives or disappeared during the armed conflict of January to June 1999, and in the period between the end of June 1999 and the end of December 2000. The analysis of the existing documents has made clear that, prior to 2001, the number of murders and forced disappearances of Serbs, Roma, and Albanians in connection with the armed conflict was significantly higher than in the period after 2000. This is why 31 December 2000 has been made a cut­off date in the book. We should not, however, forget the murders of Serbs and Albanians during the ethnic violence of March 2004.

THE POLITICS OF REVISIONISM: Denial of Crimes and Genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 1992–2025 (A Research Study)

Author(s): Jasmin Medić,Fikret Karčić,Muamer Džananović,Elvedin Mulagić / Language(s): English

The research study The Politics of Revisionism: Denial of Crimes and Genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 1992–2025 analyzes the systematic campaign of denial concerning war crimes and genocide committed against Bosniaks during the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Through an introduction and four case studies (Srebrenica, Prijedor, Sarajevo, and Tuzla), the authors demonstrate how denial is manifested in political documents, official statements, and institutional reports—particularly those produced by the leadership of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian entity Republika Srpska and the neighboring Republic of Serbia. Both during and after the war, perpetrators and their political successors have initiated a systematic revisionist discourse aimed at contesting the crimes committed by the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS), undermining judicial verdicts, minimizing the number of victims, and promoting a false equivalence of responsibility.
