Author(s): Not Specified Author / Language(s): English

On March 3, 2009, the Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) filed a criminal complaint against 16 members of the former 37th Battalion of the Serbian Ministry of Interior (MoI) Special Police Units (PJP) for the existence of serious evidence that they had committed war crimes at various locations in Kosovo during the years of 1998 and 1999. Radoslav Mitrović, who was the Commander of the 37th PJP Battalion during the armed conflict in Kosovo and Assistant Commander of the Republic of Serbia Gendermerie after the war, and who was also eventually acquitted by the Belgrade Appellate Court in June 2010 of allegations of committing war crimes in Suva Reka on March 26, 1999, is one of the suspects in the 37th PJP Battalion case. HLC based its criminal complaint in the 37th PJP Battalion case on statements given by four members of the Serbian MoI (from Witness no. 1, Witness no. 2, Witness no. 3, and Witness no. 4), who revealed in statements to HLC information about a number of war crimes committed by members of the 37th PJP Battalion during the armed conflict in Kosovo.

Mass resettlement was carried out during June, July and August 1992. According to estimates from several independent sources, more than 10,000 Croats from Vojvodina exchanged their property for the property of Serbs from Croatia at that time.

MPs and Interns must perform much better

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

When it comes to the activity of MPs of the 28th convocation of the Parliament in plenary sessions, the first half of the year was marked by the dominance of more experienced MPs, while the impression is gained that the new forces have been “overwhelmed” by stage fright. As many as five MPs did not speak even once. These are Uglješa Urošević, Seid Hadžić, Gordan Stojović, and Nađa Laković from PES, and Artan Čobi from the Albanian Alternative, with the note that three out of these five MPs began their mandate in mid-November 2023, precisely on 16 November 2023, when the State Election Commission (SEC) confirmed their mandates as they replaced party colleagues who joined the Government. This applies to Stojović, Laković, and Čobi, while Urošević and Hadžić, therefore, since the beginning of the convocation on 27 July 2023, citizens who followed the plenary sessions could not hear their voices.

Gender pulse of the media in the election campaign

Author(s): Milica Zindović,Damir Nikočević,Jelena Jovanović Marović,Dajana Zečević,Danijel Radević,Olivera Komar,Dejana Ponoš,Mirjana Ivanović Bošković / Language(s): English

In election cycles, people mostly remember only the results, while the content of the campaign in terms of key messages and electoral programmes is rarely retained. Issues of gender equality also remain on the margins, which, unfortunately, is indicated by the recent extraordinary parliamentary elections in Montenegro held on 11 June 2023. The issue of gender equality, as well as the relationship between political parties and the media, significantly shapes social reality. Objective and non-discriminatory public informing about electoral processes is extremely important for strengthening the overall political culture. Through the project “SPINoFACT 7 – Media Monitoring of 2023 Parliamentary Elections in Montenegro with focus on Gender Perspective” implemented by the Centre for Civic Education (CCE), with the support of the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Montenegro, the aim was to bring gender-responsible media reporting into the public spotlight as part of encouraging the political participation of women, especially in light of the growing misogyny in Montenegro, which already has a chilling effect on women’s engagement in matters of public importance.
