Column - Civic - Conscience on sedatives
29.06.2010.
The beginning of change will come when everybody leaves their own shadow,
shakes off the humbleness and purges self-deception, when we face the
populist ideology and wake up as individuals ready for concrete action and a
life worthy of a human being. What are the clamps that keep you from going,
not waiting for others, to articulate legally and politically the principle
of citizenship by being what you are and not what you're expected to be? Are
they really worth it? Or are they just sedatives for your conscience?... (Complete text >>)

Column - Civic - Fast Forward
01.06.2010.
What is it in our air that breeds such resignation and sense of impotence?
What is it that makes some fantastic people in this country to speak these
self-limiting words? What is it that makes us think that we should give up,
pack and leave? Why are we not celebrating the genuine, small successes like
we would celebrate the big ones, and instead fall apart, like a wave hitting
a cliff, into splinters of failed expectations? So, instead of sitting and
waiting, if you really care, fast forward!

Marking of deportation of Bosnian-Herzegovinian refugees
from Montenegro in
1992.
Dear all,
This May we will mark one more anniversary of the deportation of
Bosnian-Herzegovinian refugees from Montenegro in 1992.
On 27 May it will be exactly eighteen years since one of the buses of
refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina, then arrested in Montenegro, was sent
from Herceg-Novi to Republika Srpska in Bosnia-Herzegovina, where soon after
crossing the border all the passengers of Bosnian Muslim origin were
executed. Precise location of their execution has not been established, nor
were the remains of all the victims found.
Non-governmental organizations will once more support the victims' families
in their painful efforts to make sure that sufferings of their loved ones
are not forgotten, and remain as a permanent warning to future generations.
We would like to invite all persons interested to join us on Thursday, 27
May 2010, at noon, in front of the Security Center Herceg-Novi, where the
refugees were sent on their journey in 1992, the majority of them to
immediate death. We will lay flowers and honor the victims and their
families and require from authorities to raise a monument in that location,
as a lasting message that nothing similar shall ever happen again in the
territory of Montenegro.

Instead of wasting our time on false mysteries, we should stand up for those
questions which are of key importance for genuine democratisation and

to minimise, relativise and cover up. With a good reason too, for should
these questions finally take the centre stage, if will be a sure path to the
urgently needed changes and replacements...

There is a huge gap between what this oldest academic institution in the
country should be and what it is, and an even bigger gap between our and

think of some way to cover it up once it is put on the table?...

The quality of education must be a priority
30.01.2010.
Centre for Civic Education (CCE), reflecting to the reaction of the Seminary
Rector, Mr Gojko Perović, again reminds that neglecting of historical facts,
deprives the pupils the opportunity to adequately review the history of
their country and on this basis make their own judgment on the moves of
people and society from this period. The censoring of any part of history
prevents a complete assessment of the historical process and the
understanding of the consequences of the overall process...

prerequisite for the creation of such a society is also scientific treatment

an approach is essential for constructive facing with the past...

Freedom, human dignity, civic courage and political responsibility are
inseparable in democratic societies. Their absence is the measure of how far
we still stand from Europe, as much as of our own commitment to and fight
for these values is a sight of our true European nature. To borrow an
expression from the European Commission: there has been some progress. This
time because of the pupils from Cetinje and Goran Stanković and tomorrow
perhaps already because of you...
