Short description: Through public debates about the symbolism of the fall of the Berlin Wall, we wanted to launch a debate about why the fusion of nationalism and neo-nationalism have occurred in the former Yugoslavia, how nationalistic demons manifest themselves in 2019, and how we oppose them. We wanted to launch a dialogue that will affirm the mindset that, even after years of brutal wars and conflicts, after very strong rivalries between European and Yugoslav countries, all this can be overcome, and one can move towards creating a common future and cooperation. Participants in the debates were representatives of relevant institutions, nationally recognized historians, civil activists, cultural workers, journalists, writers, politicants, students.

  1. On December 6th, 2019, a discussion panel named "The Fall of the Berlin Wall and the Rise of Neo-Liberalism" was held at Youth Center "CK 13" in Novi Sad, Serbia. Speakers at the panel were Sarita Bradas (psychologist and researcher at the Center for the Development of Democracy), Marko Kostanic (editor-in-chief of the regional bulletin “Bilten”) and Milos Perovic (sociologist). Moderator was Mihajlo Nikolić, student and activist.

The debate focused on exploring the relationship between the fall of the Berlin Wall and the expansion of neoliberalism as a global socio-economic system. In his opening speech, Milos Perovic outlined the main features of neoliberalism and the historical context in which this doctrine becomes the leading political and economic conception of our time. His main thesis is that with the fall of the Berlin Wall disappeared the last obstacle to the establishment of global neoliberal hegemony. This event marginalized a progressive alternative to neoliberalism, which, according to Perovic, is one of the main causes of the global rise of the far right in the previous decade.

After the presentation of the participants, the panel concluded with a discussion with the audience. Youth in the audience were interested on opinions on the modern political left, as well as whether the starting point for the contemporary critique of capitalism should be the destructive attitude of capitalism towards the nature.

The panel was attended by more than 83 people.

The panel was announced through posters, social network facebook and by informations in local media:     https://cutt.ly/kzeLj4M, https://bit.ly/2OtHq68, https://bit.ly/3qj8jan, https://bit.ly/3edr6Sa, https://bit.ly/3ei16Fj, https://bit.ly/3bgfN9R, https://bit.ly/3kVazUg, https://bit.ly/3rkAJ5a, https://bit.ly/3kMdz54.

  1.  The seventh “Festival of Alternative and Left” (FALIŠ)  was organized by project partner from Croatia from Sepetember 4th to September 7th, 2019 in Šibenik (Croatia) and it was held under two general themes: “Populism – The People and Their Ideologies” and “Thirty Years After the Fall of the Berlin Wall”.

The theme “Thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall” contained three different events.

Two were held on September 4th: 1. The lecture of Christine Koschmieder (literary agent, writer and translator) with the topic “Child of Two Germanys: My Wall in Berlin”; 2. The round table discussion with the topic “Once Upon a Time There Was a Wall”, whose participants were well known and respected figure of ex-Yugoslavian societies – Ivan Čolović (ethnologist, anthropologist and writer), Vuk Perišić (columnist, analyst, translator), Andrej Nikolaidis (journalist, writer) and the moderator of discussion was Katarina Luketić (writer).

The third event which thematized the legacy of the Berlin Wall was held on September 7th. Prof. Dr. Tvrtko Jakovina (historian) gave a lecture with the topic “Between the Blocks: Thirty Years After the Fall of the Berlin Wall”.

All these events were held at the public and open spaces, at the John Paul II Square at the very centre of Šibenik. They were free and open to all visitors with unlimited communication between the audience and program participants. The minimal number of visitors of mentioned programs was about 150-300 people, which is approximately 1% of the population of Šibenik. Certain people were from other parts of Croatia (Split, Zadar, Knin, Rijeka, Pula, Zagreb), as well as from other parts of other countries (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Slovenia, but from other European countries also).

The participants of the round table “Once Upon a Time There Was a Wall” assessed that the demolition of the Berlin Wall was a great historical event with even greater symbolic significance, accompanied by huge expectations in the so-called Eastern, i.e. Socialist Bloc. Since then, some of these countries have undergone brutal civil war or war with each other, they have all undergone the so-called process of transition; Čolović, Nikolaidis and Perišić discussed: 1. did something go wrong and what went wrong in the processes that followed the Fall of the Wall?; 2. is it the case or not, that in 1989 history came to an end?; 3. and is it even possible to correct all the mistakes of the past three decades?At the same time, they raised a number of questions that Dr. Tvrtko Jakovina tried to clear in his lecture, as well as the public that has been presented in programs related to this topic. On the other side, Christine Koschmieder with her lecture gave an intimate insight in this topic and thus an intro to the mentioned round table, by presenting all these happenings connected to the Fall of the Wall through a personal aspect.

Location / Dates: The event took place in Podgorica and Bijelo Polje, Montenegro, from 11/12/2019 to 14/12/2019


Short description: CDT organized four-day networking for a group of 75 civil activities, historians, art historians, cultural workers, journalists, writers, politicants, representatives of state insitutions and local municipalities from Montenegro and partner countries.

First day we organized reception for all participants. Milica Kovačević, CDT`s president, held a welcoming speech for partners and other participants. On the second day we held event in the Municipality of Bijelo Polje. Miloš Perović, Branko Sekulić, Addriana Śniadowska, Peter Remenyi, Elena Tosti di Stefano and Mihaela Jović, representatives of partner organizations were speakers at the second panel named “1989 - European light and the Balkan darkness”. We wanted to offer different perspectives about 1989 – and certainly that was not the same year in Europe and in the Balkans. Panellists gave their perspective on what 1989 meant then, and what it symbolizes today. At the second panel, we talked about how the local community can participate in the fight against phenomena that threaten democratic values and the civic concept of society.

Third day we held a conference at the hotel Hilton in Podgorica. It was served as a forum for discussion about the rise of ethnic nationalism in ex-Yugoslavia and Montenegro in 1989, while the rest of Europe was firmly taking path of solidarity, diversity and unity, and impacts of the ethno-nationalism on today’s security and political and social cohesion in Montenegro. The conference was opened by Dragan Koprivica, CDT`s Executive Director, H.E. Ambassador Aivo Orav, Head of the EU Delegation to Montenegro and Mevludin Nuhodžić, Minister of Interior Affairs. On the first panel named „Is aggressive nationalism caused the war in Former Yugoslavia?” speakers were Budimir Lončar, the last foreign minister of the SFRY and Bogić Bogićević, former member of the SFRY Presidency. Bogić Bogicević said that he will remember 1989 year on the sentence on Gazimestan that Serbia is facing battles that are not armed, but it is possible that they will be. According to him, 1989 bears the legacy of anti-bureaucratic revolutions and the removal of leaderships in Vojvodina, Montenegro and Kosovo. Although, he said, after the Second World War, the UN was told that war and the holocaust would never happen again, we repeatedly witnessed what happened when time and people went crazy. He believes that Europe has missed the chance to receive several Balkan countries in the package. Appreciating that there was a crisis of liberal capitalism, Budimir Lončar, the last foreign minister of the SFRY said that the whole story would end in America. He said that elections in the United States would be crucial for further development because it would put class, not race, at the forefront. He also estimated that parties in these territories became the owners of the states, although elections are taking place. On the second panel named “1989 and its impact on the development of the Montenegrin society” speakers were Rade Bojović, civic activist, Andrej Nikolaidis, writer and Janko Ljumović, producer. Conference gathered around 120 participants. Participants were high state officials, representatives of media, representatives of political parties, professors, NGOs, representatives of municipalities, diplomatic corps, representatives of religious communities and individual experts in the field.

Last day we had evaluation of previous three  days with participants of networking.
