Summary/Abstract: In early 2008, the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia launched the project “Serb-Serb Dialogue in Serb Enclaves in Kosovo.” The project aims at encouraging the Serbs in the enclaves south of the Ibar River (that make 70 percent of the total Serbian population in Kosovo) to fully exercise their human, minority, socioeconomic and political rights through Kosovo institutions instead of remaining on the margins of Kosovo society and a window-dressing for the official Belgrade’s territorial claims. The project simultaneously sensitizes general public in Serbia proper, as well as the Serbs in the solidly Serbian north, of realistic needs, anxieties and interests of their (self) isolated compatriots.
