IT WAS A HAPPY GIRL: Madina (on the poster) and Ivan Sršen

Madina Husini

A story about freedom, children and stars

She happily played with dolls, dressed up as a princess and regretted not being able to keep the kittens she found. She was within reach of freedom when she died because she was forbidden to reach it. Now it lives in Madina Hussiny's picture book Children from the playground

A stop on the way to a better life

This is a story about people fleeing from suffering, from wars and unimaginable poverty, about their stay in Serbia, about some past times when Romanians and Chileans sought salvation in Yugoslavia, about the nineties and our refugees from Croatia who had nowhere to go, and then about the years after 2008 when people from some distant world come. They all have one thing in common - they wanted peace and to settle down

The "export" of migrants from Italy to Albania has begun: Is Serbia the next "host"?

The first group of migrants was transferred from Italy to Albania, in accordance with the controversial agreement between the two countries on the establishment of asylum centers outside the European Union. Other European countries are also considering this possibility, and one of the possible hosts for refugees from around the world is Serbia, which negotiated a similar agreement with Austria in 2019.

Paradox: Refugees can get permanent residence in Serbia, but what about travel documents?

Shortly after the implementation of the new provisions of the Aliens Act, the Ministry of the Interior approved the first permanent settlement of refugees from Burundi. According to the second rulebook, the first Serbian travel documents were issued to refugees from Kazakhstan. But it is unclear whether the rulebook under which they can request travel documents applies to refugees who settle permanently

Responsibility is individual

If criminal responsibility were not individual, then we could label all policemen who break the law with the label of corruption or other types of lawlessness, all doctors with the label of "negligent" for certain cases of negligent treatment, all members of the BIA or VBA with the label of drug dealers or murderers because of Jovanjica, the murder of Ivan Stambolić or Zoran Đinđić, or all refugees and migrants labeled murderers, smugglers and kidnappers because of individuals who do this on the northern borders of Serbia

For years Edrene was just one of the many incomprehensible words from the song for me. Edrene, mother, Edrene it sounded sad and melancholic, it was a low cry, and that edrene could only be a sob

Berlin: Park outside the law

The gang-rape in Görlitz Park in Kreuzberg has once again ignited a debate in Germany about the state's supposedly soft attitude towards "criminal migrants". The case turned into a political dynamite, and the fuse was lit by the right-wing Alternative for Germany, which is unstoppably strengthening.

Shared responsibility

It seems that at the moment war is more important than hunger, such a situation only makes it even more difficult to get to know climate refugees. It is clear that there is currently no solution to overcome the problem of climate refugees and the hungry. There, the solution is much easier to find than the one for resolving armed conflicts. The billions sent to Ukraine for weapons could have stabilized the situation in Ethiopia, South Sudan and Sudan

A look at the trilateral summit in Vienna from another angle: "Shame on you!"

It is known that Aleksandar Vučić and Viktor Orban are the best political friends, so to speak, brothers in autocracy. It is also known what the majority of European politicians think about Orban. Austrian Chancellor Karl Neuhammer came under fire not only for his "migrants will not pass" policy, but also for who and how he implements it.

Security policies and human rights are not contradictory

"The unequal practice towards refugees, depending on which part of the world they come from, has clearly shown that and how to respond to the arrival of a larger number of people, which was demonstrated by the example of refugees from Ukraine, the only question is whether will or won't. It is obvious that this does not apply to refugees from Africa, Asia and other parts of the world that are not Europe.
