The Center for Euro-Atlantic Studies from Belgrade (CEAS) calls on the relevant parliamentary and other state bodies, and especially the Commissioner for Equality, to respond urgently, in line with their competences, to the misogynist statement of the Serbian Radical Party (SRS) (link below). The very title of the statement reads: "I have proved that Jelena Milić is NATO’s crabs".

On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the Center for Euro-Atlantic Studies from Belgrade (CEAS) calls on the Commissioner for the Protection of Equality to be less discriminatory, but rather more inclusive, in her, otherwise welcomed, condemnation of verbal and other forms of violence against women, as well as other measures within her purview. Women in public life who are not in power also deserve institutional protection against systemic misogyny, threats and intimidation, including those who in their public work advocate punishment for war crimes, Serbia's cooperation with or membership in NATO, countering harmful Russian influence, or point to the spread of narratives with no scientific merit such as the "cancer epidemic in Serbia", instead of offering it just to opposition journalists and activists, at best. As it happens, the Commissioner condemns the perpetrators of violence against women in some cases, but not in other, although much longer lasting, and yet the offenders in both cases are one and the same.

The recent statement of Kosovo's outgoing Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj about his preventing the “theft“ of 10 billion euros (from Kosovo's perspective) by stalling the plan of alleged “partition“ of Kosovo, negotiated by Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic and president of provisional institutions of Kosovo and Metohija, Hashim Thaci, referring, inter alia, to governing the resources of the Trepca mine, completely denuded the lies of partition by ethnic principle systematically disseminated by Haradinaj, some governments of EU Member States, many commentators, certain political actors in the USA, project-funded media and civil society organizations. In this perfidious way, they protected some vested political and financial interests, not the interests of Serbia's citizens.

Announcement of the Center for Euro-Atlantic Studies from Belgrade regarding the early elections in Kosovo and Metohija

The invitation of the official Belgrade, in the process of European integration and strengthening relations with the political West, to vote for the Serb list in yesterday's elections in Kosovo and Metohija (KiM)  was not a call to vote for a monster, or hate speech, but a call to vote for a common European perspective. 

In its newly published report, „What a Difference a Year Makes“, the Center for Euro-Atlantic Studies in Belgrade (CEAS) presents a comparative analysis of the draft versions of the new National Security Strategy (NSS) and National Defense Strategy (NDS), which the government of the Republic of Serbia adopted on 8th August 2019 and passed on to the National Assembly for consideration, in versions that underwent public discussion back in the spring of 2018.

The Center for Euro-Atlantic Studies (CEAS) is hereby expressing serious concerns regarding the failure of prosecutors’ offices and police to act on the received requests to bring criminal charges, submitted by CEAS and/or CEAS Director Jelena Milić back in 2015, for criminal offenses that include: violent behavior, threat to personal safety, racial and other discrimination.
