A LOOK INTO THE RECENT PAST

The Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia has invested much time and energy in dealing with the issue of transitional justice. In addition to undertaking original research and analysis of recent events in the Balkans, it has over many years collected and systematized written materials from numerous and diverse sources pertinent to the political and social context that brought about the wars of the 1990s. Through the publication of books (over 140 so far), magazines, articles and commentaries, as well as the production of documentaries, the Helsinki Committee has tried to provide the framework for a realistic and factual examination of the recent past that would encourage Serbian society, and the younger generation in particular, to deal with Serbia's atrocious legacy, engage in regional normalization and move towards Europeanization, EU accession and Euro-Atlantic integration. This ample documentary material may also provide an initial framework for a regionwide enterprise of identifying the causes of ex-Yugoslav wars and the means for overcoming them. Therefore, the project includes three one-day panel discussions in Zagreb (Croatia), Sarajevo (Bosnia-Herzegovina) and Prishtina (Kosovo). Each panel discussion is also planned as an occasion for presenting the Committee's editions and, whenever appropriate, some of eleven documentaries produced in the "A Look into the Past" series.

The project is implemented with the assistance of the Heinrich Boell Foundation.
