"Revisiting Dealing with the Past and Transitional Justice in the Balkans"

Pristina, 23 September 2018 - Academic Conference "Revisiting Dealing with the Past and Transitional Justice in the Balkans" was held on 20-22. in September 2018 in Pristina. Forum ZFD Kosovo (Forum Ziviler Friedensdienst) and the University of Prishtina co-organised the event.
 
The Conference brought together scholars from diverse academic fields and practitioners who are working from different thematic and theoretical paradigms to explore approaches to dealing with the past and transitional justice approaches in post-SFRY space, and beyond.
 
The aim of the conference was to address a whole set of questions, including: Is it possible to identify novel paradigms and/or frameworks for dealing with the past? What is the potential of the rule of law to respond to antagonistic narratives of the past? How has transitional justice shaped the transition from conflict to peace? How is the past portrayed? Who is commemorated and how? Are the representations of the past becoming more inclusive and less antagonistic? What is the role of the state and civil society in the process of dealing with the past and conflict transformation? How have transitional justice mechanisms shaped narratives of the ‘troubled past’ in post-Yugoslav space?
 
The conference was attended by experts from universities, institutions and organizations from the United Kingdom, Germany, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Poland, Norway, Switzerland, Croatia, Australia, Hungary and from various parts of Kosovo*.
 
During the "Restorative Justice and Truth-Seeking Initiatives" panel, Andjelka Markovic presented the findings of "Serbia: how did (if it did) the general public learn from institutions about war crimes from the recent wartime past and about related war crimes trials in 2016" pilot survey.
