HELSINŠKE SVESKE №08: Manjine i izbeglice u vojvodini

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

Presence of over half a million refugees and displaced persons in Serbia is a palpable and live criticism of our recent national program and its implementation. Their fate demonstrates that the nation is not homogenous, that there are no common national interests, but rather different goals with different price tags. It bears stressing that the price paid by the aforementioned population groups was the highest one. Conduct and fate of refugees and their choices, if any, in a drastic way indicate disastrous failure of the idea of annexation of so-called Western Serb countries to the ethnic Serb state. In those terms they are the most convincing critique of domestic nationalism, for they indicate consequences thereof better than any other population groups. If one is to believe different facts and figures, more than three fourth of refugees and displaced persons until recently wanted to stay in Yugoslavia, and only one fifth expressed their wish to return to their homes. Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia through its continuing project "I want to go home" helped a sustained return of a large number of refugees, in the face of inertia and political obstacles in several involved countries. Moreover the NGO through this survey tried to look into ways of future return of refugees and displaced persons from Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo.

Evaluation of Public Administration Reforms in Macedonia

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

Public Administration Reforms (PAR) is a very popular topic of discussion among the politicians and political analysts, the ordinary people as well as the academic (research) community in South Eastern Europe (SEE). Politicians talk about (advertise) PAR in their electoral campaigns, international (external) political actors donate funds, evaluate the progress with PAR and publish relevant reports, academics analyze the effects and advocate further efforts, while the media keep the issue in the spotlight. PAR has become the latest buzz-word in SEE politics, superseding earlier such concepts like market-reforms, human and minority rights, etc. If anything, public administration reforms are not an area suffering from lack of attention.

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

The purpose of this report is to critically examine and evaluate the progress Macedonia makes in EU approximation. Considering EU approximation is a rather extensive process, this report is focused on two related areas of approximation: Science and Research (S&R) and Information Society (IS), two of the acquis chapters.

To this end, this report maps the progress achieved with adopting the Acquis and implementing European Commission recommendations in areas Science & Research and Information Society. Building on the research conducted, the report investigates the level and pace of approximation efforts of the Macedonian government, identifies some problematic areas and suggests some improvements, without claiming to offer an action plan or strategy for better EU approximation in the two chosen areas.

O čemu šutimo kada šutimo o pravima LGBTI osoba u udžbenicima

Author(s): Lamija Begagić / Language(s): Bosnian

Analiza sadržaja udžbenika za osnovne i srednje škole učestala je tema istraživanja posljednjih desetak godina, a rezultat toga je nekoliko izuzetno korisnih studija, istraživanja i izvještaja, mahom dostupnih na internetu. Ističući principe obrazovanja za otvoreno društvo po kojima ono mora biti javno dobro te njegovati interkulturalizam, socijalnu pravdu i poštivati ljudska prava, istraživačice i istraživači su u svojim analizama najčešće primjerima dokazivali upravo suprotno: da školski udžbenici obiluju stereotipima, podržavaju dominantne predrasude te vrše diskriminaciju Drugih. Oni Drugi kojima se izričito bavilo istraživanje Udruženja Q, kao i izvještaj Damira Banovića, jesu pripadnice i pripadnici LGBTI populacije, a to je ujedno i predmet naše analize nastavnih sadržaja u srednjoškolskim udžbenicima odobrenim za upotrebu u nastavi u Kantonu Sarajevo u školskoj 2015/2016. godini.
