on the arrest of Divjak

Poche e brevi riflessioni sull’arresto di Jovan Divjak e sulla Bosnia Erzegovina
di Luca Leone (Infinito Edizioni) - 8 marzo 2011

L’episodio dell’arresto – avvenuto giovedì 3 marzo all’aeroporto di Vienna su mandato di cattura internazionale spiccato dalle autorità giudiziarie di Belgrado per un discusso fatto di guerra dell’inizio del 1992 – dell’ex generale Jovan Divjak, passato alla storia come il comandante serbo che difese Sarajevo dall’assedio ultranazionalista serbo-bosniaco, ha riportato alla luce, una volta di più, l’interminabile dopoguerra balcanico, un dopoguerra mal gestito dalla comunità internazionale e tremendamente strumentalizzato dai partiti nazionalisti ininterrottamente al potere in Bosnia Erzegovina e apertamente sostenuti da una politica europea sempre più disattenta ai diritti dei popoli e sempre più partecipe those of businessmen.


Our publishing house has published the 2007 memoirs of Jovan Divjak, "Sarajevo, mon amour", awarded by an excellent critical acclaim and audiences. Even at that time, when we organized an extensive tour of presentations, and finished off from Trieste to Rome, we were able to experience first hand the contrast of feelings surrounding the man Divjak, hailed as a hero by Bosnian and treated as a traitor by Bosnian Serb and Serbian nationalism more radical and equity. On that occasion, suddenly vanished the invitation of prestigious guest we had offered months before his seat - despite the Digos garantisse a chi scrive l’ordine pubblico e la sicurezza personale dell’ex militare diventato filantropo e fondatore della più nota organizzazione bosniaca attiva nell’aiuto e nel sostegno di minori orfani e bisognosi – si pensò di trasferire con una certa celerità Divjak da Trieste a Teglio Veneto, dove – ospite di un’associazione locale coraggiosa, a differenza di quegli ospiti poco…ospitali… – l’uomo poté riprendersi dall’amarezza di quell’esperienza e tornare a concentrarsi sul lungo giro di presentazioni che lo aspettava. E che andò splendidamente.

Non avevamo mai raccontato pubblicamente l’episodio, ma questo sembra il momento giusto to do so.

today, who left the specter of a possible extradition from Austria to Serbia Divjak - at least according to statements made yesterday by Minister of Foreign Affairs Vienna, Michael Spindelegger, who said that "according to our experts in international law, a ' Divjak's extradition to Serbia is unthinkable ", and a statement of Marjana Grandits (Human Rights Commission of the Austrian Ministry of Interior) come through the Alexander Langer Foundation, Divjak that is" in great shape. Read and write a lot. It is defended by one of the best lawyers in the field, convinced of being able to avoid extradition, but must remain in Austria "to the conclusion of a long judicial procedure - in order to better frame the man and not risk falling foul of strange "profiles" read here and there on the Web, it is perhaps worth quoting a few lines of the prologue to the book "Sarajevo, mon amour", written by the French journalist Florence La Bruyere: "Jovan Divjak embodies the European ideal, so brutally trampled in the former Yugoslavia. Rejecting a division of men and lands according to ethnic or racial criteria, is that he wanted to defend peace, coexistence between peoples, even more of their 'peaceful coexistence'. Is in the name of a genuine conception of the dignity and rights man he has resisted the temptations of nationalism, and he risked his life to the idea of \u200b\u200ba Europe without borders, after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Even today, Divjak, who left the army and did not want to aspire to other positions or to obtain the minimum privilege for his past, wants to be at the service of reconciliation and brotherhood, and this testifies to his efforts on behalf of young people. Whoever clings furiously to a flag and ideology are afraid to see his identity disappear as if afraid of not being a virgin, he noticed one day the director Volker Schlöndorff. 'Well, the identity can never be lost - he added - as it is earned a little daily contact with others, es'arricchisce of history, culture and language of each. 'conviction is the same as this enthusiastic soul Jovan Divjak. " And that our publishing house - having met the man and in charge actively, every day, peace and human rights in the Balkans, sincerely acknowledges, no matter what happened in Sarajevo, Dobrovoljacka ulica, May 3, 1992, when a column of Yugoslav Army (JNA) and citizens' groups and members of the fledgling Bosnian army clashed, once again demonstrating that in Bosnia was fought for months a tragic and bloody war. A war is not ethnic or religious, but economic and territorial conquest, which is scheduled to table as the hatred that was scientifically instilled in people, and still too many runs in his veins. And the question that everyone should be asking today is: why no one is working to pull out an antidote, although there would be, and even at your fingertips?

NEWS events in Croatia and every two days experiencing the protests in the streets, no longer 'only in the capital Zagreb but now all the country on Saturday and the situation 'was commented by the President of Croatia, Ivo Josipovic. Questions from journalists, the head of state said that even in the protests, we must safeguard the dignity 'and respect for all, both those who experience and those against whom the events are addressed. "I think it's particularly important for the democratic nature of the events. It 's why I am committed and I recommend that the protests are democratic and dignified, "said Josipovic, according to all polls the politician most 'popular Croatian who added that the demonstrations tory must also clear messages" being sent to all of us we cover the tasks " . It noted, however, 'the messages so far have not been consistent. "There were shouts of the radical right, anti-European and pro-European message on the other hand, there were perhaps moved to the left. But I'd say that most of the demonstrators come from the ranks of ordinary citizens who have no particular ideological complexion but rather 'just want to live well, want to work, want to earn a salary for themselves and for their families and it 'is the message most' important of these meetings has considered the President. Regarding the trend of even picket the homes of politicians, Josipovic said he and 'always committed to separate the activities of private' public. He added that the events there were also personal insults that are not appropriate for the company 'democratic.
After repeated demonstrations against the government in Zagreb that have become a series of marches through the streets of the capital city every two days, the wave of anti-government is an excuse and 'enlarged the entire country. Last Saturday, the demonstrations were held also in eight other towns in Croatia, from Zadar, Varazdin, Slavonski Brod, Split, Rijeka. The most 'were massive in the baroque town of Varazdin, 1500 demonstrators according to organizers, 600 according to police estimates. The requests are the same everywhere: the resignation of the government considered corrupt and guilty of leading the country into destruction. "We do not want to live in a country where people work honestly and do not receive their pay for months, in which workers after 20 years of work end up on the street, where young people do not 'work it' perspective and where the crime 'in the factories and on farms and' everyday life now '. We need a government that sanctioned ' the criminal and will authorize 'the opening of new jobs, that workers at the end of their working lives will agree a decent pension and young people at the end of the studies, work in their profession rather than waiting in vain at the agency employment, "said Denis Mladenovic, a young man who had invited Varazdin citizens in anti-government demonstrations via Facebook. All unanimous in their message to the Government that it is time to leave.
And for the first time, from the ranks of the governing coalition, the more 'precisametne by the President of the Croatian Party of the peasants, Josip Friscic, coalition partners, get a concrete statement: if Croatia by June, during the Hungarian presidency will fail 'to conclude accession negotiations with the EU, "then you need to sit down and say when there will be elections in the autumn." Friscic reiterated, however,' that the Prime Minister Kosor has the support of his party and that 'a responsible partner in the coalition government. Commenting on the anti-government demonstrations, Friscic said that they have a democratic right but that does not support violence, threats to property 'and people.
Sunday, as announced, new manifetazioni in Zagreb, new marches through the streets of the capital and still the same request - that the government resign and that we are going to vote early. The HTV, television Status Henda agency have conducted a survey on public opinion these days to know what citizens think about the events spread across all over Croatia. The results are discussed by the expert of Political Science Nebojsa Blanusa. Polls strongly deny the statements of the HDZ Presidency that the demonstrations do not have the support of public opinion. At this time, even 70 percent of its citizens and 'in favor while 21 percent are opposed, the others remain undecided. 70 percent in favor of the protests, however, are not 'all ready to take to the streets, only 33 percent and' willing to go to demonstrate. And even more 'support the events of the defenders, supported by nearly 80 percent of citizens, but there 'to note that the surveys were carried out before the release of Tihomir Purda few days ago. There was also the main argument against the government and the current situation 'that the events will slow down or make it more' difficult journey of Croatia to the EU. But 63.7 percent of citizens believe that the demonstrations will 'stop it' slow down their country's EU entry. Indeed, according to analysts, the experts, the mood of the citizens and the government's claims could be very counterproductive when it comes to 'referendum Croatia to enter the country in the EU. If this referendum will be held 'before the elections, citizens could vote against this not because' accession to the EU but opposed to express their 'no' against the current government. Regarding the question of who could save the country from the current situation and which of the parties to trust the results are equally interesting but not surprising. Not only citizens are against the current government, but no longer have 'confidence even in the opposition, and a general distrust in the elite agriculture policies. The largest number of citizens want new and young people.
