Excerpt from the book Silencing (Clio, 2026)

09.April 2026. Mihael B. Buchholz, Aleksandar Dimitrijevic and Hans-Christoph Ram

Silencing victims, witnesses and perpetrators

Organizations that function according to the principle of the mafia conclude that the perpetrator himself must commit to silence. It's better not to kill him, since he might still be needed, and instead oblige him to complicity. Only when he himself kills someone must he be aware that the others know of his loyalty. And his loyalty can be trusted. As a witness, he would cast doubt not only on others but always on himself. The most important task then becomes to silence yourself

The book thief and his memories

In language are our individual consciousnesses, in language is all my (and your!) self. We ourselves do not exist outside of language, or we exist at the level where there are viruses and bacteria. Unfortunately, I am not religious, or not to the extent that would provide me with comfort, but I could, for example, believe that language is God. So, not that the language is from God, but that it is God

I dreamed of doing research, not awards

"I often start my lectures like this: 'I grew up in a small town, my father was a butcher, my mother was a bookkeeper. From them I learned that hard work is part of life... and how to make sausages'"

Liquidation pits in the heart of Europe

"At the end of the sixties and the beginning of the seventies of the last century, money began to replace ideology in Yugoslavia, criminal activities increased. Criminals became a social phenomenon, and the secret service began to hire them abroad, giving them immunity in the country. This increasingly produced corrosion within the state. As a symbol of that time, I talk about Arkan in the book."

Is this how you make a sentence?

"Andrić reads and comments, without indulgence or condescension: his judgment is incorruptible and decisive, precise and as if carved in stone. It may also be because he is aware that he will not meet face to face with the expectations of his colleagues, nor make his records public, which gives him the freedom to be open."

Psychology of leadership

28.May 2025. Dr. Zoran Pavlovic

All for one, one for all

Good leadership is teamwork. It is a leadership that does not function through coercion, but through the articulation of values ​​that connect - justice, freedom, responsibility. In this context, "we" is not exclusive, but includes everyone who shares these values ​​regardless of political, ethnic or any other affiliations and offers a vision of a society based on the rule of law and equal opportunities.
