Sonja Biserko, President of the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights, believes that the international community has not paid enough attention to the regression processes in the region in recent years.
Over the last 10 years, the region has been on a downward trend. The international community has not paid enough attention to these regressive processes and has allowed political elites to capture societies, Biserko said.
In the meantime, Biserko said, the “Serbian World” project has come a long way.
In the cultural space, the diaspora, the laws that integrate Republika Srpska into the economic, cultural and informational space of Serbia. Milorad Dodik is part of the Belgrade project – she said in an interview with N1.
She says that despite the tolerance of the past years, the international community must now react.
The main problem is how to bring Serbia to this side,and there are also condescension. This is a concern for the whole region. The main problem is the lack of trust towards Belgrade. Dodik is part of the Belgrade project. He may be more vocal at the moment, but then they go into rebranding, like the Trivic experiment – the pro-Western profile of some politicians who would represent the “Western Serbian world”, Biserko pointed out.
Biserko believes that the West is also in a difficult situation because of the events in Serbia.
What can the West do now that society in Serbia is blocked and there is a decade-long propaganda that distances Serbia from the region and the EU, while the matrix of electronic media that is under the baton of Vucic remains. It has become a project of the Serbian elites and of all institutions, from the Serbian Orthodox Church to the army. Vucic is not representative of this project, but perhaps he is at the moment and has behaved well all these years, she said./Pobjeda/
