It is located on the west-central Balkan Peninsula. Serbia and Montenegro came to an agreement only to cooperate in some political fields (e.g. a defence union). The states have their own economic policies and currencies. Serbia and Montenegro does not have a unified capital any more. Though most institutions are in Belgrade, some have been moved to Podgorica. The temporary constitution called Constitutional charter was adopted on February 4, 2003, in the Skupstina.

The first European war for over 50 years... On March 24th 1999 NATO launched the first European war since WWII - against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia - ostensibly in response to the failure of the Serbian government to sign the Rambouillet accords. This conference aims to address some of the issues that have arisen from that conflict, to study why Yugoslavia fell apart in 1991 and how the sotuation developed to the point where European cities were under air attack for the first time in over 50 years.

During the first three weeks, we study the historical and political background through a selection of the most accessible and engaging readings from 19th- and 20th-century Balkan history. The second segment is devoted to the concept of nation building viewed from a cultural studies standpoint. Texts include excerpts from Benedict Anderson’s

The institutions tasked with protection http://www.international.icomos.org/risk/2002/yugoslavia2002.htm

Photographs Cultural Heritage in Kosovo and Metohija Historic Towns and Urban Areas Vernacular Built Heritage Massive social and historical changes, emphasised by industrialisation and accompanied by de-agrarisation of the country - especially notable in passive and undeveloped areas - have resulted in the migration of younger populations from the villages, resulting in vast ruination and disappearance of the vernacular built heritage. Urbanisation and the urban influence on the architectural appearance of villages, stimulated by transition from a rural to an urban way of life (entailing more industrialised agricultural production) marked a break with the vernacular building tradition. A house is no longer built using the traditional processing of natural materials, but from industrial elements and materials, sending the old crafts into oblivion. New houses are built with a total lack of harmony with the architectural tradition of a certain area. The most frequent reason for the disappearance of old rural houses is thought to be the inability to fulfil the conditions imposed by modern living standards. Very often this reason is justified; however, there are numerous cases where, with certain modifications in the interior (primarily in the kitchen and sanitary block), the house could conform to contemporary requirements. Still, the owners resort to this solution unwillingly as construction of a new house is an issue of prestige. The older generations tended to keep the old house alongside the new one and use it as a storage space, as a standing proof of the indigenous origin of the family. Younger generations do not have the same attitude to the past. Furthermore, the owner is not interested in preserving an old house as there is no incentive to do so. The legislative support for preservation of this type of cultural heritage, as well as the recognition of the need to preserve it, is at a very low level.

Rusyns in Vojvodina (Jugoslavia, Serbia, Croatia) Pages THE RUSYNS ALONG THE DANUBE—IN FORMER YUGOSLAVIA This article was originally published in Carpatho-Rusyn American,Vol. XVI, No1 - Spring 1993 and appears here with permission. Any unauthorized duplication or distribution is strictly prohibited. Sarajevo, Bosnia, Serbia, ethnic cleansing, detention camps—these are exotic names and frightening concepts that until recently were virtually unknown to the American public. Now they have become household words as the media reports on a daily basis about the bombing of Sarajevo, the killings and rapes throughout Bosnia, and the on-going suffering of all the peoples in the ethnically-complex country once known as Yugoslavia. Rusyns, too, live within the boundaries of the former Yugoslavia, and the military conflict has struck them directly and indirectly. Ironically, of all the Rusyns in Europe, it was those living in Yugoslavia who in the second half of the twentieth century enjoyed the best conditions for national and cultural development. Since the Revolution of 1989, however, the situation has been reversed: Rusyns in the Carpathian homeland (Ukraine, Slovakia, Poland) are enjoying more freedom to develop than ever before, while those in former Yugoslavia are seeing all their achievements undermined by financial cutbacks or physical annihilation. But how did such a situation come about? When Yugoslavia was reconstituted after World War II, its new Communist government led by war hero, Marshal Josef Tito, tried to resolve inter-ethnic conflict by dividing the country into six national republics (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Serbia, Montenegro. Macedonia) and by providing liberal support and legal protection for all national minorities wherever they lived. Aside from the six national republics, two autonomous regions within Serbia—the Vojvodina in the north and Kosovo-Metohija in the south—were in 1974 given considerable political autonomy and a status equal to the republics in the federal government. Kosovo was inhabited primarily by Albanians; the Vojvodina included an incredible mixture of peoples from all over East Central Europe. Five of the Vojvodina's peoples were given the status of official nationalities—Serbs, Magyars, Romanians, Slovaks, and Rusyns—the rest were classified as national minorities.

An infinitesimal glitch in the constant flow of the British media? In the week of its high-profile publication, Matthew Collin's book was serialised daily on BBC Radio 4. Collin's previous book Altered States was an in-depth account of dance music and drug culture in the 1990s. Anyone familiar with Radio 4 knows that a book such as Altered States would not even have been considered for Radio 4, so what is it about this new book (which deals with many of the same themes) that attracted the BBC? It tells the story of cultural resistance in Serbia, a struggle whose only implications for the West are seen as self-congratulatory, a story superficially read as the triumph of Western popular culture and democratic values. Yet when the moment came to introduce the programme, something in the script caused the presenter to pause: the introduction contained the phrase "independent radio station" and it was this that seemed to impair the presenter's smooth delivery. As Collin showed in Altered States , this concept is highly problematic in the British context. Independent radio stations and other media are lauded when they operate in the Balkans or other "troublespots," but here the concept is almost alien, threatening to some, dreamed of by others.

Dusan Janjic THE STATUS OF MINORITIES IN YUGOSLAVIA With regard to their status, there are a few groups of minorities in FR Yugoslavia: -minorities that in the former Yugoslavia were known under the name of nationalities (narodnost)”2 ; - minorities that were seen as “ethnic groups” (Romas, Wallahs, Tzintzars), and some of them were classified as “the rest” (Germans); - the so-called “new minorities” Croats, Macedonians, Slovenes3 and Muslims (whose status is even less certain, since they do not have a constituted “national mother state”, and they are trying to retain the old status of a “people”; - the “Yugoslavs” due to the war have lost their state (ex-Yugoslavia) and became a minority in the FRY, a state that is carrying their name. They do not have their language, nor an ethnic origin that would differ them from the Others. It is possible to classify the minorities in FR Yugoslavia also in the following way: - minorities which have their “mother state” in some of the neighboring states (Albanians, Hungarians, Romanians, Bulgarians); - “newly established”, or emerging minorities, whose mother-state is one of the republics of the former Yugoslavia (Croats, Macedonians, Slovenes, Muslims);

This holy site survives only thanks to the protection of Italian forces which have blocked every access to the monastery. Beside all this the Monastery still attracts many international visitors from the UN Mission and KFOR. Thanks to KFOR military convoys occasionally the monastery is visited also by Serb pilgrims from Kosovo and Central Serbia. From WIKIPEDIA the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decani The cathedral, dedicated to Christ Pantocrator and built from blocks of red-purple, light-yellow and onyx marble, was constructed by master-builders under the Franciscan monk Vitus of Kotor. It is distinguished from other contemporary Serbian churches by its imposing dimensions and obvious Romanesque features. Its celebrated frescoes comprise some 1000 portraits and cover all major themes of the New Testament. The cathedral contains original 14th-century wooden iconostasis, hegumen's throne and carved sarcophagus of king Stefan. In 2004, UNESCO listed the monastery on the World Heritage List, citing its frescoes as "one of the most valued examples of the so-called Palaeologan renaissance in Byzantine painting" and "a valuable record of the life in the 14th century".

98. Cultural Situation In The Former Yugoslavia RECOMMENDATION 1239 (1994)1 on the cultural situation in the former yugoslavia European Cultural Convention to all the states of the former yugoslavia http://assembly.coe.int/Documents/AdoptedText/ta94/erec1239.htm

Parliamentary Assembly Assemblée parlementaire RECOMMENDATION 1239 (1994) on the cultural situation in the former Yugoslavia 1.Europe is witnessing with disbelief, outrage and great sorrow the collapse of European civilisation and values in the parts of the former Yugoslavia affected by the conflicts that have developed following the initial Serbian aggression in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia. 2.The loss of human life and the physical and mental suffering of those involved have already attracted the attention of the world community and the many humanitarian organisations that exist. 3.The Assembly wishes now to draw attention also to the cultural aspects of the situation that have been too readily ignored in the political assessment of the conflict and in the over-restrictive interpretation of the scope of humanitarian assistance. 4.The cultural dimension is, however, constantly exploited by all sides as a means of fuelling the conflict, as a target for intervention, and as a weapon. The war is characterised as a conflict between Catholic, Muslim and Orthodox; religious property is deliberately desecrated or destroyed; the media play on and exacerbate these same divisions, that are not part of the power struggle at the heart of the conflict. Cultural cleansing goes hand in hand with ethnic cleansing. 5.The siege of Sarajevo and the deliberate destruction of the Old Bridge of Mostar are particularly repugnant examples, as they represent direct rejection of the possibility of intercultural co-existence that these cities represented. Such cultural co-existence is basic to the values of the Council of Europe and to the plan of action currently being launched for tolerance.
