The Center for Euro-Atlantic Studies (CEAS) is expressing grave concern because of systematic, tendentiously false statements by the president of the Army of Serbia Trade Union Novica Antic that are violating the Constitution and the laws of the Republic of Serbia and the principle of democratic control over the armed forces, and of representative parliamentarianism itself, which has one of the key roles in the democratic oversight of the security system, as well as the president who is and should be a politician, primarily because of possible security implications of the actions by the Army of Serbia Trade Union that he is heading, to which Serbian public  is not reacting despite Antic’s open coup mongering that he justifies by his arbitrary assessment of alleged “betrayal” in relation to Kosovo. The other day Antic openly said, without hesitation: “Serbia is no one’s ancestral heritage. We have given oath to this country, to its flag and its Constitution. But not to its politicians.”

Center for Euro-Atlantic Studies (CEAS) from Belgrade considers that today’s decision of the provisional institutions in Pristina to pass the laws on the transformation of the Kosovo Security Force (KSF) comes at a very difficult moment for the Republic of Serbia and its citizens. CEAS welcomes the reserved rhetoric of the relevant state institutions in these especially difficult local and international circumstances.

Center for Euro-Atlantic Studies (CEAS) Serbia  Director Jelena Milić’s review of the opinion piece by Ramush Haradinaj published by the Washington Post

Dear Colleagues,

The Center for Euro-Atlantic Studies from Belgrade, Serbia (CEAS) would like to bring to your attention the latest examples of threats and a smearing campaign against CEAS and in particular its director Ms. Jelena Milić brought by Vojislav Šešelj, convicted war criminal and Jugoslav Petrušić, a mercenary from the Milosevic era and currently on trial for assassination of two Kosovo Albanians in 1999, among other obscure things he has been involved in. Both of these characters are vehemently denying genocide in Srebrenica and relativizing Serbian armed forces’ crimes during the war in Kosovo.

The Center for Euro-Atlantic Studies from Belgrade condemns a series of recent dangerous and thoughtless statements and ill-considered political moves by Sulejman Ugljanin, who is simultaneously President of the Party of Democratic Action and the President of the Bosnian National Council, which speaks in itself of the “bad situation of the Bosniaks” in Serbia.

The Center for Euro-Atlantic Studies (CEAS) from Belgrade expresses great concern regarding the fact that, despite numerous indications and obvious connections, during the election campaign for Belgrade elections, which many consider transcend the limits of communal, management and other issues related only to the city of Belgrade, none of election participants, commentators and the media mentions the illegitimate, non-transparent, and possibly a criminal influence of pro-Putin structures on themselves. Of particular concern is that the supposedly democratically oriented opposition parties did not utter a single word about this issue. At least CEAS has written enough about the multiple relationships and connections of the current Serbian government and Putin's government.
