Attack on Dubrovnik: Ustase Kamikaze from Korea Films Stir Memories of Montenegro's Wartime Guilt 28 05 2007 Montenegro's leaders may have forgotten their craven support for Serbia's wars in Croatia and Bosnia but some filmmakers won't let them off the hook By Paul Hockenos and Jenni Winterhagen in Podgorica One year after declaring independence, a controversial film is forcing a visibly reluctant Montenegro to wrestle with the legacy of its role in the bloody conflicts of the early 1990s. In 1991, as part of Serbia's war against Croatia, Yugoslav Army units led by Montenegrin officers and full of Montenegrin reservists ravaged many of the villages in the southernmost tip of Croatian Dalmatia and shelled the historic port city of Dubrovnik, causing millions of euros in damage and hundreds of civilian deaths. Throughout the duration of the wars in Croatia and Bosnia, Montenegro remained in a federal state with Serbia until 2003 when the two countries formed a loose state union. In 1997, Montenegro expressed regret for its part in the wars and the consequent atrocities. However, the process of coming to terms with the past has been selective and superficial, say opposition critics. "Rat za mir", which in Serbian means "war for peace", was the cynical slogan under which Montenegrin politicians backed the Yugoslav Army's campaign in southern Croatia. It is also the name of Montenegrin filmmaker Koca Pavlovic's controversial film about those events, which is only today, four years after its production, showing in state -- administered locations, such as universities, in the country. Formally, the Montenegrin government, which is led by the same party that ran the republic in the 1990s, has taken important steps to right the wrongs committed during the period. As well as expressing regret for its role in 1997, it has -- in stark contrast to Serbia - co-operated fully with the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia, ICTY, in The Hague. In 2004-05, the court found former Montenegrin admiral Miodrag Jokic and General Pavle Sturgar guilty of war crimes and sentenced each of them to eight years' imprisonment. Pavlovic, who is an opposition politician as well as a filmmaker, says Montenegro's gestures have not addressed the fundamental issue of responsibility for the war and the atrocities. "Now everything is fine and wonderful between Zagreb and Podgorica but things between the people of Herceg Novi and Niksic [Montenegrin border towns] and Dubrovnik aren't fine," he says. "A real process of reconciliation hasn't even started. The politicians are just saying that it's happened." Pavlovic added: "Our politicians, like [former president and prime minister Milo] Djukanovic still haven't visited Dubrovnik. They don't have the courage to try to walk down the streets in Dubrovnik because they can't, yet." In a surprise move, shortly after the independence referendum last year, Djukanovic stepped down as prime minister, a post he had held almost uninterrupted since 1991. From 1998-2002 he served as President. He remains head of the ruling Party of Democratic Socialists. There was much speculation at the time of his resignation from the government that the international community had put pressure on him to quit because of his involvement in the conflicts of the 1990s and in various blackmarket activities. In Pavlovic's film, Djukanovic admits his actions and statements at the time were wrong but maintains he acted in good faith, as he had been under the impression that Montenegro was threatened. podgorica niksic herceg novi milo djukanovic novak kilibarda slavko perovic lscg momir bulatovic kotor cavtat konavle kroatien cilipi mljet korcula tivat ulcinj bar buducnost sutjeska grbalj pljevlja lovcen njegos amfilohije radovic risto Tomislav Nikolic Srpska Radikalna Stranka Vojislav Seselj Serbia Srbija Serbian Serbs Radikali DSS Kostunica Cetnici SRS aleksandar vucic ceda jovanovic croatia hrvatska ivo sanader kiro prosviro ivica kirin jubito ldp boris tadic slobodan milosevic subotica novi sad oliver dulic milan nedic nazi hitler djordje balasevic radovan bosnia macedonia makedonija karadzic ratko B92 boka kotorska sveti stefan trebinje srebrenica skabrnja bleiburg blajburg vukovar war rat konavle ovcara mladic kosova albania ravna gora momcilo djuic chetnik yugoslavia jugoslavija sfrj Tags: war rat ustase croatia hrvatska dubrovnik korea ustasa serbia srbija serbian army vojska armija domovinski oluja srbi |

Attack on Dubrovnik: City during the Yugoslavia Army attacks Siege of Dubrovnik (Croatian: Opsada Dubrovnika) is a term marking the battle and siege of the city of Dubrovnik and the surrounding area in Croatia as part of the Croatian War of Independence. The siege was marked by severe bombardment of civilian targets, drawing much international attention. Dubrovnik is an old city located in the southernmost part of Dalmatia. It is a well-known tourist destination (a UNESCO World Heritage site), and was therefore demilitarized during the Communist Yugoslavia because it was considered that military presence does not go hand to hand with tourism. Because of this, when Croatia voted for independence in 1991, it was one of the few major cities in Croatia not to have major JNA military forces in the area, which spared it during the September's Battle of the barracks. Croatian military forces in the area at September were virtually non-existent [4] and were severely outgunned as the heaviest weapons available to them were two Soviet 76 millimeter artillery guns from 1942. [5] The defenders included just one locally conscripted unit - the 163rd Infantry Brigade, which - along with local police forces and volunteers - numbered less than 1,500 men and had no tanks or heavy guns. Towards the end of the year, the defenders were reinforced with the IX (9th) HOS Infantry Battalion of less than 300 men. The siege had immediately raised attention, as western reporters took pictures of the shelling (especially the Old City of Dubrovnik - a UNESCO World Heritage Site) - which drew international criticism of the JNA forces. The siege was heavily present in the international media, which pushed the pivotal and much more brutal Battle of Vukovar into second plan. Even before the siege, international Community attempted several treaties to limit JNA advances into overwhelmingly Croat areas, but these were broken by JNA without regard. [1] International reactions did nothing to quell the brutal bombardment, however, and the shelling continued to the end of the year. Croatian Navy and coastal artillery had successfully repelled JNA Navy forces along Dalmatia, and the Navy withdrew to Montenegro naval base of Boka Kotorska, but the situation on the ground was still unfavorable. Towards the end of the year, Croatian defenders managed a small counterattack that was aimed at displacing the JNA from the surrounding mountains, but this did not end the shelling entirely. Noted poet Milan Milišić became the first casualty of the shelling on October 5. On 6 December 1991, the heaviest shelling was reported on what came to be known as the St. Nicholas day bombardment, during which 13 civilians were killed and 60 wounded [4]. The last ceasefire went into effect at the end of the year and the shelling ended by 1992. It was besieged and attacked by JNA and Montenegro forces in late 1991, with the major fighting ending in early 1992 and the Croatian counterattack finally lifting the siege and liberating the area in mid-1992. podgorica niksic herceg novi milo djukanovic novak kilibarda slavko perovic lscg momir bulatovic kotor cavtat konavle kroatien cilipi mljet korcula tivat ulcinj bar buducnost sutjeska grbalj pljevlja lovcen njegos amfilohije radovic risto Tomislav Nikolic Srpska Radikalna Stranka Vojislav Seselj Serbia Srbija Serbian Serbs Radikali DSS Kostunica Cetnici SRS aleksandar vucic ceda jovanovic croatia hrvatska ivo sanader kiro prosviro ivica kirin jubito ldp boris tadic slobodan milosevic subotica novi sad oliver dulic milan nedic nazi hitler djordje balasevic radovan bosnia macedonia makedonija karadzic ratko B92 boka kotorska sveti stefan trebinje srebrenica skabrnja bleiburg blajburg vukovar war rat robert mitchum nives celzijus suzana mancic tom cruise BBC News Serb jailed for war crimes milan martic captain dragan kapetan vasiljkovic australia konavle ovcara mladic kosova albania ravna gora momcilo djuic chetnik yugoslavia jugoslavija sfrj unesco un usa germany italia dubrovnik croatia balkan hrvatska yugoslavia serbia srbija bosnia bosna germany italy greece macedonia russia war rat Dubrovnik War Yugoslavia Croatia Hrvatska Army Serbia Srbija Rat JNA Croatian Serbian Balkan Europe Chetniks Serbs Bosna Tags: dubrovnik croatia balkan hrvatska yugoslavia serbia srbija bosnia bosna germany italy greece macedonia russia war rat |

Slavko Perovic: Postojace Crna Gora Slavko Perović Rođen je 2. Avgusta 1954. godine na Cetinju. Diplomirao je na Pravnom fakultetu Univerziteta u tadašnjem Titogradu 1978. godine. Položio je sudsko advokatski ispit u Beogradu 1979. god, i apsolvirao postdiplomski studij na Internacionalnom univerzitetskom centru u Dubrovniku, radom na temu "Istorija kulture jadranske obale". Već kao omladinac i student, biva aktivan u društvenom životu sa nizom zaduženja u jednopartijskoj Crnoj Gori Slavko Perović i organima Saveza Komunista. Omladinsko glasilo "Mi", Časopis za umjetnost, nauku i kulturu ''Ars",Književna opština Cetinje, Radio Cetinje i niz književnih i kulturnih manifestacija vezanih za Cetinje i Crnu Goru, samo su dio projekata koje je inicirao i realizovao. Slavko Perovic je jedan od osnivača Liberalnog saveza Crne Gore i u (teškim) godinama koje su dolazile, izrasta u utemeljivača Stranke. Svoj Liberalno-demokratski rad započeo je kao predsjednik Izvršnog odbora LSCG 1990. godine, da bi na Prvoj redovnoj skupštini LSCG u Cetinju, 1991 godine, bio izabran za predsjednika LSCG. Poslanik je u višestranackoj SR CG od njenog konstituisanja (1990 godine) , a u svojoj karijeri, tu dužnost u preuzeo po drugi put nakon Parlamentarnih Izbora novembra 1996 godine. Te iste godine ce biti inicijator istorijske koalicije "Narodna Sloga" (1996 god.) kojom utemeljava puteve pomirenja Srpstva i Crnogoštva u Crnoj Gori sa ciljem da Crna Gora sa političkih krene ka rješavanju svakodnevnih problema. U procesu takvih nastojanja, davna 1988. godina biva prestupna. Slavko Perović poslije rada na više zaduženja, izmedu ostalih na mjestu Opštinskog javnog tužioca, dekretom Vlade Crne Gore, 5. avgusta 1988. godine,a kao Predsjednik Književne Opstine Cetinja (KOC) biva smijenjen zbog "neprikladnog" političkog angažmana. Povod je bio odluka Slavka Perovića tada na mjestu Predsjednika Književne Opštine, da dozvoli da se na Cetinju štampa "Etnogenezofobija", Sava Brkovića. Ta odluka će rezultirati njenim štampanjem i izdavanjem a za posljedicu imati osudu Saveza komunista da je pečatira kao "knjigu koja je načinila štetu Cetinju", i onoga ko je odobrio stavi u na listu "državnih neprijatelja". Optužen kao idejno-politički neprikladan, zbog nedjelovanja u skladu sa Statutom Saveza Komunista Jugoslavije (SKJ) i stavovima partijskih organa, Slavku Peroviću se izriče "najstrožija idejno-politička mjera" i biva smijenjen sa funkcije člana Komiteta Saveza Komunista na Cetinju i funkcije Predsjednika Književne Opstine Cetinje. No, na udaru jednopartijskog dogmatskog sistema centrirane moći, nalaze se i mnogi drugi pojednici koji prevazilaze dozvoljeni okvir djelovanja a zapravo uskraćeni za osnovne slobode slobodnog društva, što će rezultirati raspadanjem Saveza Komunista. Dolazi do podjele vlasti na više partija, ali kolač vlasti ne biva podjeljen - kako to u demokratiji i višestranačkom sistemu biva, nego su one i dalje pod centriranom upravom Saveza Komunista. Preko sve ove farse višepartijskog sistema, svojim radom, Slavko Perović ostaje kako tada tako i do današnjeg dana na čelu demokratskog bastiona. Na Cetinju, 26. Januara 1990, protiv sveopšte destrukcije, i kao teški opozicioner takve uprave, uzdiže se i stvara Liberalni Savez Crne Gore upozoravajući na sve taktike održavanja jednoiste vlasti, koja ne bira sredstva; i ratovima, bijednom, nacionalnom i građanskom pljackom, izolacijom i proganjanima, Crna Gora biva ugušena, a zloupotrebom državnih institucija, državnog imena, osnovnih ljudskih i demokratskih prava, ostaje takva do današnjeg dana. Pod lažnim višestranacjem, se ispod groteskne šminke parlamentarne demokratije i navodne trodjelne podjele vlasti na zakonodavnu, izvršnu i sudsku, prikriva sistem golog jedinstva vlasti koja se kontroliše, baš kao u doba jednopartijskog komunistickog sistema, iz vaninstitucionalnih centara moci. podgorica niksic herceg novi milo djukanovic novak kilibarda slavko perovic lscg momir bulatovic kotor cavtat konavle kroatien cilipi mljet korcula tivat ulcinj bar buducnost sutjeska grbalj pljevlja lovcen njegos amfilohije radovic risto Tomislav Nikolic Srpska Radikalna Stranka Vojislav Seselj Serbia Srbija Serbian Serbs Radikali DSS Kostunica Cetnici SRS aleksandar vucic ceda jovanovic croatia hrvatska ivo sanader kiro prosviro ivica kirin jubito ldp boris tadic slobodan milosevic subotica novi sad oliver dulic milan nedic nazi hitler djordje balasevic radovan bosnia macedonia makedonija karadzic ratko B92 boka kotorska sveti stefan trebinje srebrenica skabrnja bleiburg blajburg vukovar war rat konavle ovcara mladic kosova albania ravna gora momcilo djuic chetnik yugoslavia jugoslavija sfrj Tags: Crna Gora Montenegro LSCG Podgorica Cetinje Dubrovnik War rat Europe Srbija Serbia Yugoslavia Balkan Croatia Hrvatska |

Attack on Dubrovnik: Karlobag, Karlovac, Virovitica Films Stir Memories of Montenegro's Wartime Guilt 28 05 2007 Montenegro's leaders may have forgotten their craven support for Serbia's wars in Croatia and Bosnia but some filmmakers won't let them off the hook By Paul Hockenos and Jenni Winterhagen in Podgorica One year after declaring independence, a controversial film is forcing a visibly reluctant Montenegro to wrestle with the legacy of its role in the bloody conflicts of the early 1990s. In 1991, as part of Serbia's war against Croatia, Yugoslav Army units led by Montenegrin officers and full of Montenegrin reservists ravaged many of the villages in the southernmost tip of Croatian Dalmatia and shelled the historic port city of Dubrovnik, causing millions of euros in damage and hundreds of civilian deaths. Throughout the duration of the wars in Croatia and Bosnia, Montenegro remained in a federal state with Serbia until 2003 when the two countries formed a loose state union. In 1997, Montenegro expressed regret for its part in the wars and the consequent atrocities. However, the process of coming to terms with the past has been selective and superficial, say opposition critics. "Rat za mir", which in Serbian means "war for peace", was the cynical slogan under which Montenegrin politicians backed the Yugoslav Army's campaign in southern Croatia. It is also the name of Montenegrin filmmaker Koca Pavlovic's controversial film about those events, which is only today, four years after its production, showing in state -- administered locations, such as universities, in the country. Formally, the Montenegrin government, which is led by the same party that ran the republic in the 1990s, has taken important steps to right the wrongs committed during the period. As well as expressing regret for its role in 1997, it has -- in stark contrast to Serbia - co-operated fully with the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia, ICTY, in The Hague. In 2004-05, the court found former Montenegrin admiral Miodrag Jokic and General Pavle Sturgar guilty of war crimes and sentenced each of them to eight years' imprisonment. Pavlovic, who is an opposition politician as well as a filmmaker, says Montenegro's gestures have not addressed the fundamental issue of responsibility for the war and the atrocities. "Now everything is fine and wonderful between Zagreb and Podgorica but things between the people of Herceg Novi and Niksic [Montenegrin border towns] and Dubrovnik aren't fine," he says. "A real process of reconciliation hasn't even started. The politicians are just saying that it's happened." Pavlovic added: "Our politicians, like [former president and prime minister Milo] Djukanovic still haven't visited Dubrovnik. They don't have the courage to try to walk down the streets in Dubrovnik because they can't, yet." In a surprise move, shortly after the independence referendum last year, Djukanovic stepped down as prime minister, a post he had held almost uninterrupted since 1991. From 1998-2002 he served as President. He remains head of the ruling Party of Democratic Socialists. There was much speculation at the time of his resignation from the government that the international community had put pressure on him to quit because of his involvement in the conflicts of the 1990s and in various blackmarket activities.

Attack on Dubrovnik: Brijanje i Kafa na Stradunu Films Stir Memories of Montenegro's Wartime Guilt 28 05 2007 Montenegro's leaders may have forgotten their craven support for Serbia's wars in Croatia and Bosnia but some filmmakers won't let them off the hook By Paul Hockenos and Jenni Winterhagen in Podgorica One year after declaring independence, a controversial film is forcing a visibly reluctant Montenegro to wrestle with the legacy of its role in the bloody conflicts of the early 1990s. In 1991, as part of Serbia's war against Croatia, Yugoslav Army units led by Montenegrin officers and full of Montenegrin reservists ravaged many of the villages in the southernmost tip of Croatian Dalmatia and shelled the historic port city of Dubrovnik, causing millions of euros in damage and hundreds of civilian deaths. Throughout the duration of the wars in Croatia and Bosnia, Montenegro remained in a federal state with Serbia until 2003 when the two countries formed a loose state union. In 1997, Montenegro expressed regret for its part in the wars and the consequent atrocities. However, the process of coming to terms with the past has been selective and superficial, say opposition critics. "Rat za mir", which in Serbian means "war for peace", was the cynical slogan under which Montenegrin politicians backed the Yugoslav Army's campaign in southern Croatia. It is also the name of Montenegrin filmmaker Koca Pavlovic's controversial film about those events, which is only today, four years after its production, showing in state -- administered locations, such as universities, in the country. Formally, the Montenegrin government, which is led by the same party that ran the republic in the 1990s, has taken important steps to right the wrongs committed during the period. As well as expressing regret for its role in 1997, it has -- in stark contrast to Serbia - co-operated fully with the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia, ICTY, in The Hague. In 2004-05, the court found former Montenegrin admiral Miodrag Jokic and General Pavle Sturgar guilty of war crimes and sentenced each of them to eight years' imprisonment. Pavlovic, who is an opposition politician as well as a filmmaker, says Montenegro's gestures have not addressed the fundamental issue of responsibility for the war and the atrocities. "Now everything is fine and wonderful between Zagreb and Podgorica but things between the people of Herceg Novi and Niksic [Montenegrin border towns] and Dubrovnik aren't fine," he says. "A real process of reconciliation hasn't even started. The politicians are just saying that it's happened." Pavlovic added: "Our politicians, like [former president and prime minister Milo] Djukanovic still haven't visited Dubrovnik. They don't have the courage to try to walk down the streets in Dubrovnik because they can't, yet." In a surprise move, shortly after the independence referendum last year, Djukanovic stepped down as prime minister, a post he had held almost uninterrupted since 1991. From 1998-2002 he served as President. He remains head of the ruling Party of Democratic Socialists. There was much speculation at the time of his resignation from the government that the international community had put pressure on him to quit because of his involvement in the conflicts of the 1990s and in various blackmarket activities. In Pavlovic's film, Djukanovic admits his actions and statements at the time were wrong but maintains he acted in good faith, as he had been under the impression that Montenegro was threatened.
