Facing the Past: Healing and Reconciliation in the Balkans

The Balkans remain a region marked by a painful history of wars, conflicts, and ethnic divisions. In this conversation, we explored the psychological and social consequences of these events, and how societies can or should engage with their past to build a peaceful future. We discussed transitional justice, the importance of remembrance versus intentional forgetting, the role of forgiveness, and the challenges of interethnic dialogue. Questions were raised about how communities can heal, how individuals confront trauma, and whether reconciliation efforts—both local and international—can foster trust and collective identity after conflict.

Serbian students' message reaches the Parliament in Strasbourg

A conversation with one of the cyclists who rode 1500 kilometers

The cyclists who rode across half of Europe to deliver a message to the European Parliament in Strasbourg have returned home. Another spectacular welcome was organized for them in Novi Sad, after those that took place in major European cities. In this Labyrinth, we include Veljko from the Technical Faculty in Novi Sad to tell us about the message that was delivered to the MEPs and to share with us their experiences from the long journey. The next great feat of the Serbian students will be a run to Brussels.

What have Balkan countries done to protect the women in the post conflict period?

In this episode of Transitional justice we talk about the protection of women in the post conflict period. The UN recognized the need to highlight the role and the position of women in the world after armed conflicts and adopted the Resolution 1325. This Resolution urges all actors to increase the participation of women and incorporate gender perspectives in all UN peace and security efforts. Our interlocutor for this topic is Professor Lidija Georgieva from the Faculty of Philosophy. We asked The Professor Georgieva what is done after the adoption of this Resolution, especially in the Balkan countries?

Oberhuber: I do not expect Germany to stop supporting sustainable development

Interview with the Director of GIZ for North Macedonia, David Oberhuber

For underdeveloped or less developed countries, financial support from the international community is extremely important. After the major changes that have occurred in the United States, which have affected the civil society sector, part of the media, as well as state institutions, the question arises whether other countries will follow the same example. Specifically, today we are discussing whether Germany will maintain its current policy of helping the underdeveloped. We are discussing this with the Director of the German International Cooperation Agency GIZ, David Oberhuber.

The Student Edict Brings All of Serbia to Niš

Report from the Great March 1st Rally – Part Two

The city of Niš has never been louder. Literally all the streets were filled with people who came from all over Serbia to support the students who are demanding justice for the terrible accident that took 15 lives. After a five-day walk, the students had the strength to stand on the streets of Niš for 18 hours. Citizens joined them because, as they say, the students' demands are the demands of the people. The atmosphere was very emotional, and hugs were a common sight in the streets. The students had a cultural program, sports and social activities, and in the main part they read the student edict, followed by a musical program. The city was full until midnight and then cleaned up by the students and citizens who voluntarily stayed to help them.

Watch the full report.
