9 Evropski pokret u Srbiji je doživeo punoletstvo! Pre osamnaest godina, na jesen, godine, grupa nezavisnih antirantih intelektualaca, na čelu sa Vojinom Dimitrijevićem, održala je osnivačku skupštinu Evropskog pokreta u Srbiji. Nešto pre toga bio je osnovan Evropski pokret u Jugoslaviji, ali je ubrzani raspad zemlje učinio tu hrabru i plemenitu inicijativu neostvarljivom. Osnivači Evropskog pokreta u Srbiji, malobrojni, ali odlučni i artikulisani, suprotstavili su evropsku opciju politici osvajanja, rata i bezumlja, koju je provodio režim i sve više preovlađujućoj atmosferi nacionalističke agresivnosti i isključivosti, ksenofobije i mržnje prema svima oko nas, koju je dosta uspešno gradio moćni Miloševićev propagandni aparat. Programski moto nove organizacije je bio Za demokratsku Srbiju u ujedinjenoj Evropi!. Bilo je totalno kontra struji govoriti o Evropi i evropejstvu kao našem jedino ispravnom strateškom opredeljenju u vreme kad se na sve strane trubilo o evropskoj i svetskoj zaveri protiv nedužnog i stradalničkog srpskog naroda i kada je sama reč Evropa zvučala ružno i izdajnički. Ta odbijanja da se poklekne pred nadirućom nacionalističkom i proratnom euforijom su i predstavljala osnovnu poruku i opredeljujuću orijentaciju nove organizacije u prvim godinama njenog delovanja. Evropski pokret je naredne, godine primljen u Međunarodni evropski pokret. To je bio apsolutno usamljeni primer izlaska iz totalne međunarodne izolacije u koju su Srbiju gurnuli njeni vlastodršci. Inicijative Evropskog pokreta bile su tada prvenstveno usmerene na uspostavljanje veza sa onima koji slično misle i deluju na razbijenom i ratom zahvaćenom prostoru bivše Jugoslavije građenjem mostova sa nevladinim organizacijama sličnog opredeljenja, dijalogom sa intelektualcima sa Kosova i iz Albanije, saradnjom sa nevladinim organizacijama iz inostranstva, sa osnovnom porukom da ipak postoji i dejstvuje druga Srbija, koliko god bila nejaka i ućutkivana. Već tada je visoko na agendi bila Malobrojni, ali odlučni osnivači EPuS suprotstavili su evropsku opciju politici rata i bezumlja. The founders of the European Movement in Serbia were not a large group, but they were all determined and articulated, and held up a European option against the politics of war and madness. European Movement in Serbia has become an adult Eighteen years ago, in the fall of 1992, a group of independent intellectuals, lead by Vojin Dimitrijevic, held the founding assembly of the European Movement in Serbia. The European Movement in Yugoslavia had also been established earlier, but the rapid disintegration of the country made this brave and noble initiative unattainable. The founders of the European Movement in Serbia were not a large group, but they were all determined and articulate, and held up a European option against the politics of invasion, war and madness, conducted by the regime in the prevailing atmosphere of nationalistic aggression and exclusion, xenophobia and hate towards others, which was successfully promoted by Milosevic s powerful propaganda apparatus. The program motto of the new organization was For a Democratic Serbia in United Europe. It was a completely upstream approach to talk about Europe and Europeanism as the only proper strategic orientation during a period in which the main discourse was world conspiracy against the innocent and suffering Serbian people, in which Europe was generally presented as a threat. From the very beginning, the newly established organization refused to tolerate the nationalistic and pro-war euphoria. The European Movement became a part of the International European Movement the following year, in This was the only example of an organization emerging from the total international isolation into which Serbia had been pushed by its rulers. The first European Movement s initiatives were primarily focused on establishing relations with those who thought and acted in the same way, within the violent war context in the former Yugoslavia by building bridges with non-governmental organizations of similar orientation, establishing dialogue with intellectuals from Kosovo and Albania, 9

10 10 tema tema regionalne saradnje, kao put pomirenja i pridruživanja Evropi. Pokazalo se ubrzo da Evropski pokret ne može svoju aktivnost ograničiti samo na antiratni stav i da postoji opasnost da se organizacija svede na manji broj opredeljenih i angažovanih intelektualaca, pre svega iz Beograda. Omasovljenje organizacije, okupljanje šireg broja ljudi iz drugih društvenih slojeva i sredina, naročito uključivanje većeg broja mladih ljudi i širenje uticaja Pokreta ukazivali su na potrebu diversifikacije i izvesne pragmatizacije njegovih aktivnosti, uz zadržavanje osnovne antinacionalističke i antiksenofobične potke. Takvu orijentaciju su inicirali novi predsednik i generalni sekretar Pokreta, koji su izabrani godine: Mirko Tepavac i Jelica Minić, a nastavio je novi predsednik Desimir Tošić. Tokom godine, počinje traganje za novim temama, aktivnostima, strukturom, ciljnim grupama. Evropski pokret se orijentiše na prostor koji nisu zauzele političke stranke demokratske opozicije posebno na lokalni razvoj i razvoj preduzetništva. Kroz ove aktivnosti dolazi do stvaranja jake i široke baze u mnogim gradovima Srbije, iz koje će proisteći jedna od najznačajnijih promena u delovanju Pokreta - stvaranje lokalnih veća, koja su autonomna u svom delovanju, ali u statutarnom okviru Evropskog pokreta i na prihvaćenoj idejnoj matrici i zajedničkom tematskom opredeljenju. Drugi značajan inovativni doprinos delovanju Evropskog pokreta predstavljalo je formiranje Foruma za međunarodne odnose, koji se odmah po osnivanju priključio Evropskom pokretu. Forum je okupio profesore i druge eksperte u oblasti međunarodnog prava, međunarodnih političkih i ekonomskih odnosa, viđene spoljnopolitičke komentatore i bivše diplomate. Na sastancima koji su se održavali svake srede bez izuzetka u 18 časova (sve do dan-danas) vođena je najdemokratskija i najkompetentnija rasprava o međunarodnom položaju zemlje, uz nuđene razrađene platforme alternativne spoljne politike, kao najubojitije kompetentne kritike Miloševićeve tzv. spoljne politike. U odnosu prema vlastima ćemo biti konstruktivni i kooperativni, ali ćemo sačuvati svoju intelektualnu autonomiju i kritički duh. strengthening cooperation with NGOs from abroad, sending out the message that there was another Serbia, no matter how weak and silenced. Even then, regional cooperation was high on our agenda as a way of reconciliation and joining Europe. It soon turned out that the European Movement could not focus its activities only on anti-war projects. There was a risk of the organization being reduced to a small number of devoted intellectuals, mainly from Belgrade. Growth by including a larger number of people from other social classes and of different backgrounds, especially young people, and the strength of the organizational influence came as a result of a need for diversification and a certain pragmatism, while the fundamental anti-nationalistic and anti-xenophobic driving force remained. Such an orientation was initiated by the new President and the Secretary General, elected in 1994, Mirko Tepavac and Jelica Minic, and continued by the next president Desimir Tosic. The next developmental phase of the European Movement started in 1995, when a search for new topics, activities, organizational structures and target groups began. The European Movement was not focused on the political parties of the democratic opposition, but on local development and entrepreneurship. These activities, which established a solid, broad base in many cities in Serbia, brought the most significant changes in the activities of the Movement (EminS): the foundation of the Local Councils of the European Movement in Serbia, which are autonomous in their activities but work within the statutory framework of the European Movement. The European Movement was enriched by joining the Forum for International Relations, immediately after it was established. The Forum brought together professors and other experts in the field of international law, international politics and economic relations, foreign policy analysts and former diplomats. At our meetings, which are held every single Wednesday at 18:00, the most democratic and in-depth discussions were organized about

11 Treba pomenuti i orijentaciju Evropskog pokreta da pomogne u osnivanju i stasavanju novih nevladinih organizacija. U toj»inkubatorskoj funkciji«primio je pod svoj krov ili kišobran mnoge inicijative iz kojih su nastale značajne organizacije, kao što su: G17, Udruženje poslovnih žena, Viktimološko društvo, Generacija 21, Udruženje za kvalitet života, Transparency International, Preduzetništvo mladih i mnoge druge. Pored obilja praktičnih aktivnosti u okviru svojih mnogih organizacionih formi, Pokret nikada nije zapostavljao svoju društvenu misiju. Mi nismo nikad prihvatali, ni ranije ali ni sada, da se stavi znak jednakosti između kvalifikativa nevladin i nepolitički. Nikad nismo pretendovali na nezamenljivu političku ulogu stranaka, ali nismo ni želeli da ostanemo politički neutralni, tako da smo u vreme Mioševićevog režima objektivno bili antivladina nevladina organizacija. Posebno je to došlo do izražaja tokom masovnih narodnih i studentskih protesta protiv krađe lokalnih izbora godine. Međutim, iako su posle 5. oktobra, godine, na vlast došli naši dojučerašnji politički saveznici, naš stav je od početka bio jasan: nemamo nameru da postanemo nevladina provladina organizacija, rado ćemo sarađivati sa državnim organima, ali u ravnopravnom partnerskom odnosu, ljubomorno čuvajući našu nezavisnost i održavajući konstruktivnu kritičku distancu prema vlastima. Stoga smo rekli da ćemo u odnosu prema vlastima biti konstruktivni i kooperativni, ali ćemo sačuvati svoju intelektualnu autonomiju i kritički duh. Ova knjižica o aktivnosti Evropskog pokreta u poslednje tri godine uverljivo svedoči koliko je danas široko i raznovrsno njegovo delovanje u okviru osnovne misije definisane pre osamnaest godina: širenje evropske ideje, evropskih vrednosti, standarda i kriterija, na putu ubrzanog približavanja porodici ujedinjenih nacija i građana Evrope. We will be constructive and cooperative with the institutions of government, but keep our intellectual autonomy and a critical spirit. the international position of Serbia, offering a strong platform for alternative foreign policy. It provided the sharpest and the most competent criticism of Milosevic s foreign policy. The European Movement helped establish new non-governmental organizations, it also opened the way for many new initiatives under its umbrella; some of them later became the G17, the Association of Business Women, the Victimology Society, Generation 21, the Association for Quality of Life, Transparency International, Youth Entrepreneurship and many others. Alongside many practical activities, the Movement (EMinS) has never neglected its social mission. Non-governmental does not exclude non-political was our approach to date. We have never claimed to play the role of a political party, but we also did not want to remain politically neutral; during the Miloševic regime, we were an anti-governmental and nongovernmental organization at the same time. This was particularly obvious in the mass public and student protests against the theft of the local elections in 1996/97. Although October 5 brought our political allies to power, our position from the outset has remained clear: we do not intend to become a pro-governmental non-governmental organization. We are happy to cooperate with state authorities, but through equal partnerships, jealously guarding our independence and maintaining a constructive critical distance from any government. Therefore, we will be constructive and cooperative with the institutions of government, but keep our intellectual autonomy and a critical spirit. This booklet of activities of the European Movement during the last three years is a convincing testimony of the broadness and diversity of EMinS work. This work has been carried out under a mission defined more than eighteen years ago: the dissemination of European ideas, European values, standards and criteria, on an ever-closer route towards the family of united nations and citizens of Europe. 11

Od godine, Evropski pokret u Srbiji je punopravni član Međunarodnog evropskog pokreta koji se ubraja u međunarodne nevladine organizacije sa velikom tradicijom i značajnim idejnim uticajem na političke činioce u evropskim državama. EPuS ima više od 400 individualnih i 15 kolektivnih članova, mrežu od 28 lokalnih veća i svake godine širi svoju individualnu i kolektivnu bazu članova. Danas je EPuS izvođač visokog ranga kada su u pitanju menadžment projekata i tehnički kapaciteti, ekspertiza u istraživanjima i razvoju i ugledni partner u implementaciji razvojnih programa, šireći i dalje svoju bazu članova i okupljajući sve pro-evropski orijentisane individue i organizacije koji posvećuju svoje vreme i energiju postizanju cilja prijema Srbije u evropsku porodicu naroda. Misija Osnovna misija EPuS je uticanje na javnost u Srbiji da se angažuje u stvaranju demokratskog, višestranačkog društva i u ostvarivanju jednakosti među ljudima i u njihovim zajednicama, kao i promocija evropskih vrednosti i tekovina, uz podržavanje procesa i pojava u Srbiji koji tome vode. EPuS u svom delovanju polazi od punog poštovanja ljudskih vrednosti, sloboda i prava kao i od svih civilizacijskih vrednosti na kojima je utemeljen Savet Evrope; teži ostvarivanju vladavine prava i uvažavanju različitosti. U saradnji sa svima koji podržavaju ova opredeljenja, EPuS radi na stvaranju političkih i drugih uslova za ulazak naše zemlje u Evropsku uniju (EU). To podrazumeva obnavljanje i normalizaciju pokidanih veza sa evropskim zemljama, posebno sa susedima, ali i ozbiljne reforme na administrativnom i sektorskom, nacionalnom i lokalnom nivou.

Savez Mreža Lokalnih veća Mrežu Lokalnih veća čini 28 registrovanih Lokalnih veća. Lokalno veće su mogli da osnuju i danas osnivaju isključivo članovi i članice EPuS, u skladu sa Statutom EPuS, radi sprovođenja Programa Evropskog pokreta u određenoj lokalnoj zajednici - gradu ili opštini. Lokalna veća su udruženja građana, registrovana pravna lica koja su u radu nezavisna od EPuS sa sopstvenom upravljačkom strukturom. Međutim, budući da su članice Mreže, one imaju posebne odnose sa Evropskim pokretom u Srbiji, a neretko dobijaju i logističku podršku. U realizaciji projekata, lokalna veća su prvi partneri kojima se EPuS obraća i koje uključuje u sprovođenje aktivnosti na teritoriji Srbije. Nakon usvajanja novog Zakona o udruženjima, Lokalna veća Evropskog pokreta u Srbiji će se udružiti u Savez koji će okupiti sve lokalne ogranke Evropskog pokreta u Srbiji, čime će dosadašnja Mreža LV, prerasti u novu formu registrovani Savez.

Only members of EMinS can establish a local council, in accordance with the EMinS Statute, aimed at implementing the European Movement Program in their local community, city or municipality. Local councils are associations of citizens and registered legal entities that are independent from EMinS; they implement their own activities and have their own management structures. Since local councils are part of the EMinS network, they have special relations with the European Movement in Serbia, and often receive logistical support. Local councils represent EMinS key partners in project implementations on the territory of the Republic of Serbia. After the adoption of the new Law on Associations, EMinS Local Councils will join an Alliance which will bring together all local branches and transform the Local Councils Network into a registered Alliance.

21 Tokom desetogodišnjeg rada, EPuS LVL je organizovalo oko pedeset različitih predavanja, panel-rasprava, radionica i istraživačkih projekata, u okolnostima izuzetno polarizovane partijske scene na području Gradske opštine Lazarevac. EPuS LVL je u proteklim godinama, bez veće podrške lokalne zajednice, afirmisalo evropske vrednosti. S obzirom na to da je energetski oslonac države Rudarski basen Kolubara, iz čijeg lignita se proizvodi 52 odsto električne energije, više panel-rasprava bilo je posvećeno razvoju energetike i zaštiti životne sredine. Tokom godine, realizovan je projekat Srbija u EU šta od toga imam ja, a šta moj grad. EPuS-Lazarevac je organizovao šest panel-rasprava o životnim temama i četiri lokalne akcije. U organizovanju panel-rasprava partneri su u tri slučaja bili Centar za tranziciju i Udruženje privatnika opštine. Prilikom prezentacije projekta u Ivanjici, Lokalno veće Lazarevac je među tri OCD proglašena najboljim. U brojnim akcijama povodom izbornih kampanja i Dana Evrope, bili su zapaženi programi i performansi u centru Lazarevca, kod Rudarske česme, stecištu važnih događaja. U zadnje dve godine na tradicionalnoj privrednoj manifestaciji Kolubara-Fest koja se održava u Lazarevcu učestvovali su predstavnici Lokalnog veća Lazarevac, deleći građanima propagandni materijal, flajere, balone, majice i dr. U Modernoj galeriji u Lazarevcu, uz veliko interesovanje medija, zapažen je projekat Osvajanje slobode Put kojim se teže ide na kome su predstavljeni mladi stručnjaci koji su profesionalni uspeh postigli u SAD i Evropi. Lokalna aktivnost Srpska naivna aktivnost - Brend Evrope održana je u Stepojevcu, kraj Ibarske magistrale, u vrtu skulptora Ilije Filipovića uz učešće 23 umetnika, tzv. Leskovačke škole naive. EPuS LVL je od svog osnivanja značajnu pažnju posvetio zaštiti i očuvanju kulturno-istorijskog nasleđa ovog kraja. Zahvaljujući tim rezultatima, Veće je prošle godine, u partnerstvu sa Gradskom opštinom Lazarevac započelo izradu reprezentativne monografije o Spomen - kosturnici Kolubarske bitke u kojoj su pohranjene kosti austrugarskih i srpskih vojnika iz Prvog svetskog rata, što je jedinstven slučaj u svetu. Lazarevac Local Council The European Movement in Serbia s Local Council in Lazarevac was established by a group of intellectuals in October 2000, with the aim of creating a social framework for the development and empowerment of the civil sector and strengthening its creative potentials, by affirming European values during the process of transition. Following several independent actions, the Lazarevac Local Council was established on February 6, 2002, and officially registered on June 4, 2002 at the Yugoslav Federal Ministry of Justice. The mission of EMinS Lazarevac is to strengthen the democratic institutions of Serbia, with a particular focus on the local community, and the fight against the monopoly of partocracy, which dominates the interests of civil society. During the last ten years, the Lazarevac Local Council organized around 50 different lectures, panel discussions, workshops and research projects, in the highly polarized political scene of the Lazarevac municipality. Substantial support from the local community in affirming European values had been missing in previous years. Since the main energy source in the county is the Kolubara mining basin, with the production of a lignite, which provides 52 percent of the national production of electric power, several panel discussions were dedicated to the development of energy supplies and environmental protection. The Serbia in the EU! What is in it for me, and what is in it for my city! project was implemented during EMinS Lazarevac organized six panel discussions on day-to-day topics and four local campaigns, in cooperation with the Center for Transition and the Municipal Entrepreneurs Association. The Lazarevac Local Council was recognized as the best among three NGOs at the project promotion in Ivanjica. The most prominent events in the Lazarevac city center and at the main gathering place known as the Miners Fountain were those organized by EMinS Lazarevac: numerous local election campaigns, events for Europe Day, programs and performances. During the last two years, the Lazarevac Local Council was present at the traditional business event, Kolubara Fest in Lazarevac, distributing promotional material, flyers, balloons, t-shirts, etc. The Capturing Freedom The Road Rarely 21

27 Lokalno veće Inđija Lokalno veće Inđija osnovano je 14. avgusta, godine. U okviru svoje misije zalaže se za ideju pravde, poštovanja ljudskog dostojanstva i bori se protiv kršenja ljudskih prava u cilju prevazilaženja problema nasleđa iz devedestih godina, koje se ogleda u izvesnom evroskepticizmu i evrofobiji. U Inđiji, kao opštini u kojoj postoje naselja sa većinskim stanovništvom slovačke i mađarske nacionalnosti (čija su se udruženja i pojedinci uključili, kao kolektivni članovi, u rad Lokalnog veća), potreba za razvijanjem ideja tolerancije i multikulturalnosti predstavljaju jedan od najvažnijih ciljeva inđijskog Lokalnog veća. Lokalno veće je ostvarilo izuzetnu saradnju sa Opštinom Inđija. Kabinet gradonačelnika je logistički i finansijski podržao postojanje i delovanje Lokalnog veća EPuS i izrazio spremnost da pruži pomoć i podršku u daljem delovanju Lokalnog veća. Ostvarena je i saradnja sa ostalim organizacijama civilnog društva i udruženjima, kao i neformalnim grupama. Mladi volonteri Lokalnog veća prepoznali su potrebu za zajedničkim delovanjem u konkretnim akcijama, u cilju skretanja pažnje na specifične probleme mladih kao doprinos uvažavanju i unapređenju evropskih standarda u oblasti prevencije i razvijanja građanske svesti. Najplodotvornija saradnja volontera Lokalnog veća je ostvarena sa Savetovalištem za mlade Doma Zdravlja Inđija, Mrežom mladih lidera i Kancelarijom za mlade Opštine Inđija. Rezultat te saradnje su brojne zajedničke akcije, a jedna od njih je čak i predhodila formalnom osnivanju lokalnog veća. Naime, nekoliko mladih volontera Lokalnog veća u osnivanju učestvovalo je na EXIT festivalu godine kao podrška volonterima iz Savetovališta za mlade DZ Inđija. Na festivalu je učestvovalo 620 učesnika u radionicama izvođenim na srpskom, egleskom i nemačkom jeziku. In 2009, the Local Council implemented the following independent projects: Research, analysis and the presentation of an empirical study on the Perception of Political and Economic Contexts in the Sandžak Private Business Sector to a wide audience (national and international officials and experts). The research and its target businesspeople was a unique project, since have been no extensive local and regional surveys carried out on this topic before. The research covered the specific conditions of running a business in Sandžak, natural resources, geographic position and political and economic circumstances during the nineties and after The project results are relevant not only for Sandžak, but also for other entrepreneurs in Serbia and the whole region of the Western Balkans. The project recommendations were distributed to various partners, including government and international institutions, as well as the entrepreneurs themselves. This research study can also be an important tool in policy-making, important for the further development of projects dealing with the economy in Sandžak. Inđija Local Council The Inđija Local Council was established on August 14, The Council s mission specifies its devotion to the ideas of justice, respect for human dignity and the fight against human rights violations, as well as overcoming social and political problems inherited from the nineties, such as Euro-skepticism and Europhobia. One of the most important goals of the Inđija Local Council is the development of tolerance and multiculturalism, since the municipality itself is a multicultural environment where a Slovak and Hungarian majority live. Their associations participate in the work of the Local Council as collective members. U junu ove godine, Savetovalište za mlade, sa stručnim timom organizovalo je štand sa promotivnim materijalom u samom centru Inđije, a volonteri Savetovališta okupljeni oko projekta Ja sam fan imam plan, neću alkohol drogu i duvan, potrudili su se da građanima Inđije, predstave ovogodišnju kampanju pod nazivom Tvoje ne menja sve. Njima su se pridružili, i podržali kampanju, Evropski pokret u Srbiji - Lokalno veće Inđija, Kancelarija za mlade opštine Inđija, Mreža mladih lidera Opštine Inđija. The Local Council has established exceptionally good cooperation with the Municipality of Inđija.

Cooperation has been established with other NGOs, associations and informal groups. The Council s young volunteers recognized the need for joint action and have participated in many campaigns focused on the public, dealing with specific youth 27

30 30 Šta smo uradili od 15. godišnjice do punoletstva? What We have Achieved between our 15 th Anniversary and our Maturity

31 Projekti EPuS Projekti Evropskog pokreta u Srbiji su u funkciji ostvarivanja misije i ciljeva organizacije. S obzirom da su naši ciljevi brojni, a misija velika u njihovom ostvarivanju težimo aktiviranju i povezivanju što većeg broja građana, institucija, organizacija s nadom da svaki projekat doprinosi uvećanju broja evroentuzijasta i pojedinaca koji teže modernizaciji Srbije i evropskoj integraciji. Stoga smo zahvalni brojnim partnerima, donatorima, saradnicima, volonterima i aktivistima koji su svoje resurse i vreme podelili sa nama. Činjenica da smo, osluškujući potrebe i probleme, uspeli da definišemo i sprovedemo preko 50 projekata i akcija u prethodne tri godine, ohrabruje nas da smo na pravom putu. Pored informisanja o EU i procesu pristupanja i praćenja sprovođenja reformi, što su stalni zadaci EPuS, u prethodnom periodu akcenat je bio na izgradnji kapaciteta ili znanja i veština određenih ciljnih grupa (lokalne samouprave, civilno društvo, mladi...), izgradnji konsenzusa ili saglasnosti o evropskoj integraciji, prioritetima na putu ka članstvu, edukaciji o evropskim politikama i mehanizmima korišćenja pretpristupne pomoći, jačanju učešća civilnog društva u definisanju i sprovođenju politika, jačanju regionalne i međunarodne saradnje. U trogodišnjem periodu izdvajaju se i ciljne grupe kojima smo posvetili posebnu pažnju mladi od osnovne škole, preko univerziteta do mladih preduzetnika, lokalne samouprave i organizacije civilnog društva na lokalnom nivou, ranjive kategorije stanovništva, žene, stručnjaci i poslovna zajednica, regionalni i međunarodni partneri U narednom periodu nas očekuju brojni izazovi u skladu sa fazama u procesu pristupanja koje očekuju našu zemlju na putu ka punopravnom članstvu, ali i u skladu da evropskim i globalnim izazovima koji očekuju naše evropske partnere. Na kraju, treba naglasiti da iako su projekti naša i realnost i potreba, u čijem kreiranju i izvođenju sa zadovoljstvom učestvujemo, svesni efekata i doprinosa u kreiranju boljeg, evropskog društva, to nije sve. EPuS neguje i aktivistički duh, komunikaciju sa individualnim i kolektivnim članovima i nadasve, poštuje svoje unutrašnje demokratske procedure. Sastanci Izvršnog i Glavnog odbora kao i Skupštine se redovno održavaju, konsultacije sa potencijalnim partnerima, korisnicima i saradnicima ne prestaju, što sve omogućava da ostajemo EMinS Projects All EMinS projects are focused on achieving the organization s goals and its mission. Since our goals are numerous and our mission challenging, our projects involve large numbers of citizens, they interconnect target groups and engage citizens, institutions and organizations in common projects. We believe that every project contributes to harnessing the energy of an even greater number of individuals and enthusiasts to the process of Serbian modernization and the EU integration. Therefore, we are grateful to our numerous partners, donors, associates, volunteers and activists, who have shared their time and resources with us. More than 50 projects, created and implemented by the EMinS during the last three years, as our response to some of the key problems and needs we are facing, serve as proof that we are on the right track. Alongside informing the public about the EU and the accession process, and monitoring the implementation of the reform processes EMinS key tasks our organization has also been focused on building the capacities, knowledge and skills of specific target groups (local self-governments, civil society, youth, etc.), building consensus on European integration, strengthening priorities on the road to the membership, education on European policies and mechanisms during the pre-accession assistance period, strengthening the participation of civil society in policy defining and implementation, and strengthening international and regional cooperation. During the last three years, our target groups have included young people from primary and secondary schools, university students, junior entrepreneurs, local self-governance and civil society at a local level, vulnerable groups, women, experts and the business community, regional and international partners. We expect many new challenges in the forthcoming period, from activities related to the phases of the Serbian accession process towards its full EU membership to European and global challenges that our European partners will face in the future. Finally, our projects can be defined as our reality and need. We participate in their design and implementation with great pleasure, aware of their effects and the overall contribution in a better, European society. The EMinS also cherishes the spirit of its activists and communication with both individual members and the groups collectively. 31

32 verni svojim vrednostima i posvećeni ostvarivanju svoje misije. Strateški: 32 Nacionalni konvent o Evropskoj uniji Nacionalni konvent o Evropskoj uniji u Srbiji (NK EU) je projekat koji kroz rad Radnih grupa uspostavlja institucionalizovanu, tematski strukturiranu debatu između predstavnika države i nedržavnog sektora, administracije, lokalne samouprave, političara, stručnjaka, biznismena, nevladinih organizacija i šire javnosti, o pripremama Srbije za pristupanje EU. Nacionalni konvent o Evropskoj uniji (NK EU) se od godine kontinuirano sprovodi. U prvoj fazi svog rada tokom i godine, NK EU je postigao zapažene rezultate, koji su predstavljeni kroz usvojene preporuke, u periodu kada se Srbija nalazila u procesu pregovaranja Sporazuma o stabilizaciji i pridruživanju Tokom 2008/2009. godine, Radne grupe NK EU svojim Agendama su pratile pojedina poglavlja budućih pregovora Srbije o članstvu u EU. Tokom druge faze, načinjen je pomak ka članstvu u EU liberalizacijom viznog režima, otpočinjanje primene Prelaznog sporazuma i podnošenjem zahteva za članstvo u EU. Imajući u vidu sve zahtevnije naredne faze na putu Republike Srbije ka članstvu u Evropskoj uniji NK EU 2010 je usmeren na praćenje sprovođenja prioriteta koji su jasno definisani u Evropskom partnerstvu i Nacionalnom programu integracije, a čiji je pregled jednom godišnje izlistan u Izveštaju o napretku. Takođe, tamo gde je moguće Radne grupe NK EU se osvrću na novi Ugovor o EU, Lisabonsku strategiju i ostale strateške prioritete i politike Evropske unije. Zasedanja Radnih grupa su prilika da se čuju različiti stavovi, otvori kvalitetna i konstruktivna debata i usvoji konkretna i usaglašena preporuka, i tako doprinese stvaranju društvenog konsenzusa u Srbiji o integraciji zemlje u EU. Objavljene su dve Knjige preporuka Nacionalnog konventa o Evropskoj uniji, koje su široko distribuirane. U rad radnih grupa Nacionalnog konventa o Evropskoj uniji bilo je uključeno preko 800 pojedinaca, Ljubljanska agenda The Ljubljana Agenda Above all, the EMinS is proud of its internal democratic procedures. Our Executive and Main Boards and the Assembly meet regularly, consultation has always been carried out on a continuous basis with potential partners, beneficiaries and associates, all of this enables us to remain faithful to our values and devoted to achieving our mission. Strategic Aspect: The National Convention on the European Union The National Convention on the European Union (NC EU) is a project focused on the establishment of an institutionalized, thematically structured debate between representatives of state administration, politicians, NGOs, experts, professional associations, and the broader public on the future accession of Serbia to the EU. Its activities are organized through working groups.

33 Nacionalni konvent o Evropskoj uniji The National Convention on the European Union The National Convention on the European Union has been working continuously since Since the NC EU was established, it has achieved substantial results. They were presented to the public under the form of recommendations, during the period when Serbia still was negotiating the SAA. predstavnika institucija i organizacija svih sektora. Rad NK EU je tokom 2006/2007. godine, realizovan u saradnji sa Slovačkom asocijacijom za spoljnu politiku, a uz podršku Slovak Aid i Beograd Bratislava Fonda, dok je 2008/2009. godine realizovan u saradnji sa Slovačkom asocijacijom za spoljnu politiku i Lokalnim većima Evropskog pokreta u Nišu, Novom Pazaru i Zrenjaninu, a uz podršku Evropske unije kroz Fond za evropske integracije i Fondacije Friedrich Ebert, a godine projekat se realizuje uz podršku Fonda za otvoreno društvo i USAID preko Instituta za održive zajednice. Ljubljanska agenda za novu fazu u procesu stabilizacije i pridruživanja Evropski pokret u Srbiji je u saradnji sa šest partnerskih organizacija iz regiona Zapadnog Balkana, pokrenuo nacionalne i regionalne debate o Ljubljanskoj agendi, predlogu za novu fazu u procesu stabilizacije i pridruživanja Srbije u periodu predsedavanja Slovenije Savetom EU godine. In 2007 and 2008, the Working groups Agendas carefully followed the chapters of Serbia s negotiations for EU membership. During the second phase, an important step forward was taken towards EU membership: the visa regime was liberalized, the Interim Trade Agreement came into force, and the application for EU membership was submitted. Bearing in mind the complexity of the future phases of Serbia s road to EU membership, the NC EU 2010 is focused on monitoring the implementation of the priorities adopted, clearly set out in the European Partnership and the National Program for Integration, which are reviewed annually in the Progress Report. Furthermore, where applicable, the NC EU Working groups are also focused on the newly adopted EU Treaty, the Lisbon Strategy and other EU strategic priorities and policies. To date, the National Convent on the European Union has published two books, which were widely distributed. The Working groups of the National Convent have gathered together over 800 individuals, representatives of different institutions and organizations from all the relevant sectors. The activities of the NC EU in 2006 and 2007 were 33

34 34 Ljubljanska agenda je predstavljena nacionalnim i evropskim zvaničnicima i široj javnosti sa ciljem iniciranja debate i stvaranja jedinstvenog stava o poziciji regiona prema EU kao i o neophodnim koracima koje je trebalo napraviti na putu ka Uniji. Ovo je takođe u širem kontekstu bio doprinos civilnom dijalogu EU - Zapadni Balkan. Projekat je rezultirao dokumentom Ljubljanska agenda koju čini predlog o ubrzanju procesa integracije regiona Zapadnog Balkana u Evropsku uniju. Proces izrade dokumenta obuhvatao je nekoliko faza kao što su izrade nacrta Ljubljanske agende, organizacija nacionalnih debata, organizacija regionalnih debata, organizacija međunarodne konferencije i distribucija finalnog predloga lokalnim, nacionalnim, regionalnim i međunarodnim donosiocima odluka. Ovaj projekat su podržali Fond za otvoreno društvo, Balkanski fond za demokratiju i Fridrih Ebert fondacija. Evropski standardi Snabdevanje energijom je od suštinskog značaja za održivost ekonomskog razvoja na Zapadnom Balkanu, kao najsiromašnijem regionu u Evropi u kojem su neophodne odgovarajuće nacionalne i regionalne energetske strategije i politike da bi se ostvarilo makro-ekonomsko oživljavanje i unapređenje ekonomskog rasta putem efikasnijeg korišćenja energije, manjeg negativnog uticaja na životnu sredinu i smanjenja energetskog siromaštva. Imajući to u vidu, Evropski pokret u Srbiji (EPuS) i Kosovski institut za istraživanje politika i razvoj (KI- PRED) usmerili su svoju pažnju na proces reformi u sektoru energetike, kako bi podstakli evropsku integraciju i usaglašavanje sa evropskim standardima. Serija evropskih standarda obuhvata tri kratka tematska izveštaja koji obuhvataju pravne aspekte, energetsku politiku i zaštitu životne sredine i namenjena je kreatorima energetskih politika u Beogradu i Prištini, ali isto tako i u EU. Ova istraživanja, kao i promovisanje dobijenih rezultata imala su za cilj da složeni skup aktivnosti koje su neophodne za unapređenje energetske reforme postanu predmet razmatranja i razgovora, kako u zvaničnim, tako i u nezvaničnim krugovima Evropski standardi European Standards implemented in cooperation with the Slovak Foreign Policy Association and supported by SlovakAid and the Belgrade Bratislava Fund. In 2008 and 2009, the activities were implemented in cooperation with the Slovak Foreign Policy Association, the EMinS Local Councils in Niš, Novi Pazar and Zrenjanin and were supported by the European Union through the European Integration Fund and by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation. In 2010, the project has been implemented with the supported by the Fund for an Open Society and the USAID, through the Institute for Sustainable Communities. The Ljubljana Agenda for a New Stage in the Process of Stabilization and Association The European Movement in Serbia, in cooperation with six partner organizations from the Western Balkan countries, launched national and regional debates about the Ljubljana Agenda, a proposal for a new phase in Serbia s process of stabilization and association with the EU during Slovenia s EU presidency in The Ljubljana Agenda was presented to national and European officials and the general public and was aimed at initiating a debate, creating a unified position in the region regarding the EU and undertaking the necessary steps on the road towards the EU. The Agenda gave a substantial input to the civic dialogue between the EU and the Western Balkans. The project resulted in the adoption of the docu-

35 ment, known as the Ljubljana Agenda. This document, relevant to all Western Balkan countries, included a comprehensive solution that would accelerate the process of integration into the European Union for Western Balkan states. The document was prepared in a few successive phases: initial drafting, national and regional debates, an international conference and the distribution of the final proposal to local, national, regional and international decision-makers. Definisanje strategije spoljne politike Defining the Strategy of foreign policy u regionu, ali i u salama Brisela. Osnovni zaključci jesu da je potrebno da se usvoji moderni koncept javnog dobra u pravnim sistemima Srbije i Kosova i da se taj koncept integriše u koncepcije razvoja, tumačenja i sprovođenja zakonskih propisa, kao i da treba obezbediti sprovođenje reforme u sektori energetike u koordinaciji sa relevantnim domaćim akterima. Pored ovoga u zaključcima je navedeno da je potrebno regionalno umrežavanje stručnjaka i njihovih udruženja u oblasti energetike, kako bi se omogućila efikasnija primena iskustava koja proističu iz dobre prakse i profesionalnog ponašanja i izrada regionalnog foruma za razvoj strategija regionalne energetske bezbednosti. Partner na projektu je evropska kancelarija Freedom House u Budimpešti, a projekat su podržali Fond Braća Rockfeller, Nacionalna zadužbina za demokratiju i Balkanski fond za demokratiju. Definisanje Strategije spoljne politike i postizanje široke saglasnosti o prioritetima razvoja i spoljne politike Srbije Projekat je usmeren na doprinos pri izradi Strategije spoljne politike Srbije, čije nepostojanje dovodi do konfuzije u spoljnopolitičkom delovanju, ali i u planiranju i predviđanju spoljnopolitičkog delovanja u budućnosti. Ovim projektom predstavljen je mehanizam izrade i donošenja strategijskih dokumenata, koji se praktikuje u razvijenim demokratskim društvima. This project was supported by the Fund for an Open Society, the Balkan Trust for Democracy and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation. European Standards Energy supply is crucial for the sustainability of economic development in the Western Balkans, the poorest region in Europe. The adoption of an appropriate national and regional energy strategy and policy is necessary to achieve macro-economic revitalization and to promote economic growth through more efficient use of energy, the reduction of the negative impact on the environment and the decrease of energy poverty. Bearing this in mind, the European Movement in Serbia and the Kosovo Institute for Policy Research and Development (KIPRED) focused their attention on the reform process in the energy sector, to encourage European integration and compliance with European standards. The European standards series includes three short thematic reports on legal issues, energy policy and environmental protection and are intended for the creators of energy policies in Belgrade and Pristina, but also in the EU. The research and its results were aimed at establishing a complex set of activities necessary for the promotion of energy reform. The research results were successfully promoted and became the subject of serious consideration and discussion, both in official and unofficial circles in the region and in Brussels. The main conclusions of this study included: the necessity to adopt a modern concept of public good in the legal systems of Serbia and Kosovo, to integrate the concept into overall development, interpretation and enforcement of regulations, and to 35

36 36 Opšti cilj projekta je postizanje konsenzusa o osnovnim spoljnopolitičkim ciljevima Srbije, dok su specifični ciljevi: izrada strategije, otvaranje debate o pravcima spoljne politike, javno zagovaranje transparentnosti u procesu oblikovanja i vođenja spoljne politike Srbije, iniciranje donošenja zvanične Strategije spoljne politike. U toku projekta su formirane tri radne grupe sastavljene od po 10 studenata Pravnog, Ekonomskog, Filozofskog, Fakulteta političkih nauka, čiji je zadatak bio da, uz pomoć asistenata i mentora izrade tri različita nacrta Strategije spoljne politike Srbije o kojima je debatovano na okruglim stolovina na Kopaoniku, u Novom Sadu, Kragujevcu, Nišu i Beogradu. Učesnici debata bili su najeminentniji stručnjaci iz različitih oblasti, akademska i stručna javnost, instituti, fakulteti i organizacije civilnog društva. Rezultat rada na projektu predstavlja objavljena zbirka dokumenata: Spoljna politika Srbije: strategije i dokumenta koja obuhvata period od godine do danas uključujući i predlog Strategije spoljne politike Srbije Foruma za međunarodne odnose EPuS. Projekat je podržao Balkanski fond za demokratiju. Upoznaj svog komšiju - evropskog parlamentarca Projekat Upoznaj svog komšiju - evropskog parlamentarca pokušava da kroz strukturirani dijalog o tekućim dešavanjima unutar EU i procesu EU integracije Srbije poveže Narodnu skupštinu Srbije i Evropski parlament kao i civilno društvo Srbije i susednih zemalja članica EU (Mađarska, Rumunija, Bugarska). Tri susedne države-članice Evropske unije imaju 71 člana Evropskog parlamenta, a sa pretpostavkom da su oni mnogo bolje upoznati sa situacijom na Zapadnom Balkanu, te su neiskorišćeni potencijal za našu zemlju, u smislu unapređenja saradnje i preko potrebne podrške u procesu EU integracija Srbije. U prvoj fazi implementacije projekta organizovana je panel diskusija sa poslanicima Evropskog Parlamenta iz Mađarske u Subotici, tokom septembra, godine. Dva člana Evropskog parlamenta iz ensure the implementation of the reforms in the energy sector in coordination with relevant local actors. Moreover, the research recommendations pointed out the necessity to establish a regional network of professionals and their associations in the energy sector, which would allow more efficient exchanges of experience stemming from good practice and professional conduct and the establishment of a regional forum for the development of a regional energy security strategy. The Partner in the project was the European Office of Freedom House in Budapest and the project was supported by the Rockfeller Brothers Fund, the National Endowment for Democracy and the Balkan Trust for Democracy Defining Foreign Policy Strategy and Achieving a Broad Consensus on the Development Priorities and Foreign Policy of Serbia The project is focused on contribution to the development of Serbian Foreign Policy Strategy, aimed at eliminating confusion in foreign policy activities resulting from the absence of such a strategy. It would make the process of planning and creating foreign policy decisions much easier in the future. The project introduced a mechanism for designing strategic documents, following the practice in developed democracies. The overall objective of the project was focused on achieving consensus on the basic Serbian foreign policy goals. The specific objectives included: developing a strategy, opening a debate on the directions foreign policy should take, advocating for transparency in the design and conduct of foreign policy in Serbia and initiating the adoption of an official foreign policy strategy. Three working groups were formed, each represented by ten students from the Faculty of Political Sciences, the Law School, the Faculty of Economics and the Faculty of Philosophy. The result of their work: three different drafts of the Serbian Foreign Policy Strategy, prepared in cooperation with their teaching assistants and mentors, were promoted through public debates organized on the Mount Kopaonik, Novi Sad, Kragujevac, Nis and Belgrade. Participants in the debates included the most

37 eminent experts from a variety of fields, members of the academic and professional communities, institutes, universities and civil society. The final result of the project was the publication Serbian Foreign Policy: Strategies and Documents, covering the period from 1804 through to today. It included a proposal for a strategy of Serbian foreign policy, prepared by the EMinS Forum for International Relations. Mađarske i jedan predstavnik partnerske organizacije civilnog društva iz te zemlje kao i poslanici Skupštine Republike Srbije su aktivno učestvovali u panel diskusiji. Identična struktura panel diskusija je planirana u Zrenjaninu sa poslanicima Evropskog parlamenta iz Rumunije, kao i u Nišu sa Parlamentarcima iz Bugarske. Pored navedenih aktivnosti predviđeno je da se u okviru projekta organizuje i zajednički sastanak svih učesnika na projektu u Beogradu u cilju nastavka diskusije o mogućnostima za unapređenje saradnje među zemljama regiona kao i predstavnika Evropskog parlamenta i parlamenta Republike Srbije. Poslednja komponenta ovog projekta jeste organizacija studijske posete predstavnika Skupštine Republike Srbije Evropskom Parlamentu. Projekat podržavaju: Balkanski fond za demokratiju i Fond za otvoreno društvo. Mladi: Mobilnost: Upoznaj komšiju evropskog parlamentarca Meet your neighbor European Parliamentarian Evropsko selo Projekat je kreiran godine i nastavljen godine, sa ciljem da se mladim poljoprivrednicima iz Srbije pruži prilika za neposredni susret i upoznavanje sa gradovima, ljudima i kulturom jedne Project was supported by the Balkan Trust for Democracy Meet Your Neighbor the European Parliamentarian The project Meet Your Neighbor the European Parliamentarian aims at linking the national Parliament of the Republic of Serbia with MPs from the European Parliament and representatives of Serbian civil society with the neighboring EU member states (Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria) in a constructive and tailor-made dialogue on current issues relevant to the EU and the EU accession process of Serbia. Three EU neighboring countries (Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria) have 71 MEPs. Presuming that they are more familiar with the situation in the Western Balkans, this great potential should be strengthened, since it is important for the countries themselves and the advancement of the cooperation. This potential provides much needed support in Serbia s EU integration process. In the first phase of implementation, a public discussion was organized in Subotica in September 2010 with two Hungarian MEPs, a representative of a civil society organization from Hungary and MPs from the National Parliament of the Republic of Serbia. Similar events will be organized with two Romanian MEPs in Zrenjanin and two Bulgarian MEPs in Nis. The project envisages the organization of a joint meeting in Belgrade, which will gather together all the participants and provide an opportunity for further discussion about greater cooperation among countries in the region and between members of the European Parliament and the Parliament of the Republic of Serbia. 37

Dobrodošli u Nemačku Program pod nazivom Dobrodošli u Nemačku namenjen je društveno angažovanim studentima druge, treće i četvrte godine Univerziteta u Srbiji. Do sada je putem ovog projekta 240 studenata i 140 srednjoškolaca imalo priliku da poseti Nemačku. Cilj ovog programa je da se tokom boravka u Nemačkoj mladim ljudima, koji do sada nikada nisu boravili ni u jednoj zemlji članici Evropske unije, omogući da se upoznaju sa političkim i privrednim sistemom Savezne Republike Nemačke, kao osnivačem Evropske unije. Susreti sa nemačkim studentima vršnjacima sličnog profesionalnog opredeljenja treba da omogući razmenu ideja i pogleda, da utemelje shvatanje da je otvorenost, tolerancija i saradnja ljudi različitih kultura osnovni preduslov za, zajedničku evropsku kuću. Stipendija za ovaj program se dodeljuje putem javnog konkursa i dobitnici imaju priliku da dve nedelje borave u Nemačkoj i posete Berlin i Bavarsku, gde je za The project objectives include: enabling direct encounters and correspondence with young people from the EU as well as the popularization of European ideas and values in Serbia. This project strongly promotes education as a valid path to success in life. The competition is publicized annually, in May, and the target groups are students who fulfil the precise criteria defined in the announcement. In a first selection the jury chooses candidates who are then invited for an interview and, when final selection is made, a list of the students who will receive the scholarship is published. They receive their Inter Rail tickets, an allowance and insurance at a ceremony in mid-july, after which their journey to Europe may begin. Each return means Serbia has become richer, a group of its best students, future leaders in the academic field, have enhanced their education with another life experience learning about European countries and citizens.

To date, over 240 students and 140 secondary school students have had the opportunity to visit Germany. The main goal of the project is to bring young people, who have never had any opportunity to travel, to the Republic of Germany for a study visit to learn about the political and economical system of one of the EU founding members. The opportunity to meet German students and peers of similar professional orientation brings an important quality into their life perceptions, while the ideas, such as openness, tolerance and multiculturalism become important prerequisites in understanding a common European house. Through an open competition, scholarships are awarded to a selected group of students who get an opportunity to spend two weeks in Germany. Their final destinations are Berlin and Munich/Bavaria, where they participate in a rich political and educational program. During the first week, the program includes a visit to different institutions in Berlin, such as the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, etc. During the second week, the program continues in Bavaria, where participants get acquainted with students life through a series of meetings with German students and colleagues at the University.

Program će podržati 24 đaka, 2 nastavnika i direktor svake škole koji će posetiti Nemačku, a trideset nemačkih srednjih škola će takođe posetiti Srbiju. Partnerstvo na delu je novi program koji ima za cilj uspostavljanje dugoročnog partnerstva između nemačkih i srpskih ekonomskih srednjih škola. Više od 1000 đaka trećeg razreda srednjih škola iz Srbije i Nemačke će biti uključeno u program, pružajući svim učesnicima izuzetnu priliku da se sretnu, razmene znanja i iskustva i razviju nove odnose. Veća mobilnost nastavnog osoblja olakšaće učenje od kolega iz drugih zemalja i stvoriće priliku za zajednički rad u razvoju novih nastavnih metoda i pristupa. Deset školskih partnerstava je već bilo ustanovljeno kroz GTZ-VET program, dok je novih 20 škola iz Srbije odabrano na javnom konkursu i za njih je obezbeđen isti broj škola u Nemačkoj, kako bi i one otpočele saradnju. Uspešno je izvršeno povezivanje 30 škola iz Srbije sa istim brojem škola iz Nemačke. Projekat se sprovodi u saradnji sa Nemačkom organizacijom za tehničku saradnju GTZ, a podržan je zajedničkim sredstvima nemačke Vlade i američke Vlade kroz USAID preko Instituta za održive zajednice. try for Economic Cooperation and Development and the German Ministry for Foreign Affairs, the German organization for Technical Cooperation, the State Office of the Province of Bavaria, the Bavarian University Centre for Central, Eastern and Southern Europe (BAYHOST) and five political foundations (the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation, the Hans Saidel Foundation and the Henrich Boll Foundation). Partnership at work The project is designed to help secondary schools in Serbia to find a suitable partner school in Germany and co-finance the initial seven-day study trip for 30 economic secondary schools and their German partners. The study program will support 24 secondary school students, two teachers per school and their principals to visit Germany. Thirty German secondary schools will also visit Serbia as a part of the program. Partnership at Work is a new program, aimed at establishing a long-term partnership between German and Serbian economic secondary schools. The program will involve more than 1,000 third year students at economic secondary schools from both Serbia and Germany. It will offer an exceptional opportunity to all participants to meet, exchange knowledge and experiences, and develop new relationships. The increased mobility of teaching staff between colleagues from different countries makes the process of learning easier and creates opportunities for cooperation in developing new educational methods and approaches. Edukacija: Zvoni za Evropu Evropski pokret u Srbiji je pokrenuo program neformalnog obrazovanja namenjen srednjoškolcima sa ciljem da ih edukuje i informiše o Evropi, evropskim zemljama i Evropskoj uniji. Današnji srednjoškolci će možda već sutra živeti u Evropskoj uniji. Bitno je da dobiju odgovore na pitanja šta je to, zašto je važno da Srbija postane deo ove zajednice i najzad, kako da najbolje iskoriste mogućnosti koje im se na putu evropskih integracija otvaraju. Ten school partnerships have already been established through the GTZ VET Program, while 20 schools from Serbia have been selected through a public competition and matched with the same number of schools in Germany, in order to initiate cooperation. Thirty schools were successfully matched with the same number of schools from Germany. The program has been implemented in cooperation with the German organization for Technical Cooperation GTZ and supported jointly by the Go- 43

44 44 Zvoni za Evropu It Rings for Europe! Evropa u školi Europe at school Program je počeo da se realizuje na jesen godine i prvobitno su učestvovali učenici srednjih škola sa beogradske opštine Vračar. Zahvaljujući interesovanju učenika, program je ubrzo otvoren za učenike svih beogradskih srednjih škola, a od godine, aktivnosti su se proširile i na škole u Subotici, Novom Pazaru i Novom Sadu. Srednjoškolci Sremske Mitrovice i Zrenjanina su od ove jeseni uključeni u program. Dva puta godišnje, svakog proleća i jeseni, formira se nova grupa polaznika od učenika trećeg i četvrtog razreda. Preko 200 učenika je do sada uspešno pohađalo program i dobilo sertifikate. Kombinacijom radioničarskog rada sa predavanjima, učenici su na zanimljiv način sticali znanja o EU koja su prenosili vršnjacima na javnim časovima u svojim školama. Iskustvo stečeno tokom rada sa srednjoškolcima je pretočeno u priručnik Zvoni za Evropu! koji je namenjen budućim polaznicima programa, ali i svim mladim ljudima zainteresovanim za ovu temu. Program je podržala Fondacija Fridrih Ebert, a u dva ciklusa u Novom Sadu podržan je i od Fonda za razvoj neprofitnog sektora AP Vojvodina. Evropa u školi Evropa u školi je dugogodišnja panevropska, transnacionalna i interkuturalna inicijativa pod zajedničkim pokroviteljstvom brojnih evropskih institucija.

Education: It Rings for Europe! The European Movement in Serbia has initiated a non-formal educational program aimed at educating and informing secondary school students about Europe, European countries and the European Union. Secondary school students will probably live their professional and adult lives in the European Union of the future. That s why it is important to help them to understand the European Union, its importance for their communities, and, after all, to make the best use of such an experience at this stage of European integration. The program started in autumn 2007 and initially it included secondary school students from the Belgrade municipality of Vracar. Since great interest was shown in the project, the program was extended to all Belgrade secondary schools, and from 2009, to schools in Subotica, Novi Pazar and Novi Sad. Since the autumn of 2010, students from Sremska Mitrovica and Zrenjanin can also join the program. Groups of students from third and forth year are formed twice a year, in spring and autumn. To date, over 200 students successfully participated in the program and received certificates.

Uvođenjem evropskih tema u osnovno i srednje obrazovanje, prilagođenih đačkom uzrastu, Evropa u školi želi da doprinese razvitku veština koje mladim ljudima pomažu da spremno dočekaju izazove modernog evropskog društva. Aktivnosti u okviru projekta su dostupne svim učenicima iz zemalja članica EU i Saveta Evrope kao i drugim zemljama koje su potpisnice Evropske kulturne konvecije. Na nacionalnom nivou, implementaciju aktivnosti sprovodi Nacionalni odbor Evrope u školi. Nacionalni odbor Srbije uključen je u takmičenje godine, a od godine, Evropski pokret u Srbiji je dobio status punopravnog člana Evrope u školi. Aktivnosti podrazumevaju održavanje godišnjeg, tematskog, likovnog i literarnog takmičenje za učenike osnovnih i srednjih škola, organizaciju The program is structured in the form of workshops and lectures and is presented to the participants peers in public classes in their schools. A book that summarizes all the experience gained through this program was published under the title It Rings for Europe! and can be a useful tool for all future program participants and other young people interested in this topic. The overall program is supported by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, while the participation of students from Novi Sad was supported twice by the Fund for the Development of the Non-profit Sector in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. Europe at School Europe at School is a pan-european, transnational and intercultural initiative with a long tradition implemented under the joint patronage of numerous European institutions. It is important for young people, who should soon become responsible adult citizens, to develop a consciousness about Europe. The project Europe at School is aimed at helping young people to acquire knowledge about the process of European cooperation and integration and better understand the importance of the European ideal. The pedagogical aspect of the project Europe at School has been recognized in many European resolutions and recommendations and is part of the official documents adopted by national pedagogical authorities. 45

46 46 izložbe najboljih radova, međunarodne susrete mladih, uključujući susrete dobitnika nagrada. Dugogodišnji partner na projektu je Ministarstvo prosvete Republike Srbije, a projekat podržava Fondacija Fridrih Ebert, kao i brojni sponzori. E, mogu i ja! Projekat E, mogu i ja! se realizuje od godine. Nastao je na osnovu rezultata istraživanja koja su pokazala da kod mladih postoji vera da će uskoro biti bolje, odnosno nada i optimizam, ali je spremnost na lični angažman da bi se to ostvarilo mnogo manja. Otuda je osnovni cilj projekta podsticanje mladih da uzmu aktivno učešće u društvu. Projektom je stvoren strip junak Rešivoje, antipod negativnim junacima koji su odraz pada moralnih vrednosti u savremenom društvu. Rešivoje osmišljava brojne akcije dovodeći sebe u komične situacije iz kojih uvek izlazi kao pobednik. Ovako predstavljen, on je poruka mladim ljudima da put do ličnog usavršavanja i socijalnog poželjnog statusa pojedinca vodi preko brige za opšte dobro društva. Pozivajući mlade da budu kreativni i da se društveno angažuju svake godine se raspisuje Konkurs za podsticanje društvenog aktivizma mladih koji je otvoren za neformalne grupe mladih, udruženja mladih i udruženja za mlade. Do sada je realizovano 25 akcija širom Srbije (dva konkursa raspisana i godine). Mahom su ih organizovali srednjoškolci i studenti, a raduje podatak da je skoro trećina realizovana u ruralnim sredinama. Kako rezultati ne bi bili zaboravljeni, od godine se dodelje priznanje za najboljeg omladinskog aktivistu i najbolju omladinsku akciju u okviru projekta, simbolično nazvana Rešivoje. Projekat se realizuje uz finansijsku podršku Ministarstva omladine i sporta Vlade Republike Srbije. Više informacija o projektu na: Talasi demokratije Mladi iz zemalja Zapadnog Balkana još uvek nisu dobro informisani o temama, problemima Through its contents, structure, and methodology, Europe at School promotes education in democracy, intercultural education and international cooperation in the field of schooling. Europe at School encourages young people to improve their knowledge, understand their own culture and the process of European integration and cooperation, and develop a sense of responsibility. By introducing European topics into primary and secondary schools, tailored to the understanding of such pupils, Europe at School contributes to the development of the skills that will be important for the challenges of a modern European society. The project activities are available to all students from the EU, member states of the Council of Europe, and the countries that signed the European Cultural Convention. The National Board of Europe at School is responsible for the implementation of program activities on the national level. In Serbia, the responsible body has been the National Board of Serbia since 2003 and the European Movement in Serbia has been a full member of Europe at School, since The activities include: the organization of a competition on an annual basis (artistic and literary works) for primary and secondary school students, the organization of an exhibition of the best student works, and the organization of an international youth event which brings together all the students who won the competition. The Ministry of Education of the Republic of Serbia has been a long-term partner in the project. The main donor is the Friedrich Ebert Foundation. I can do it! The project I can do it! has been operating since The driving force behind the project came from an important research finding: Young people share positive believes about the near future, but they are not ready to make any personal effort to achieve such goals. Following the research recommendations, this project is aimed at raising social activism among young people. The comic hero Rešivoje was created as an opposite to the negative heroes,

Mladi iz zemalja Evropske unije nisu u dovoljnoj meri upoznati sa načinom života i razmišljanja mladih sa ovih prostora. S ciljem da se stvore osnove na kojima bi mladi ljudi sa prostora Zapadnog Balkana i zemalja EU prepoznali oblasti koje ih povezuju organizovana je omladinska konferencija pod nazivom Talasi demokratije Blizu sto mladih ljudi se okupilo u Novom Sadu početkom jula, godine i raspravljalo o gorućim pitanjima savremenog društva. Završni dokument konferencije, Agenda građana, sadrži kompromisom identifikovane probleme i preporuke za njihovo prevazilaženje. Konferencija je realizovana u saradnji sa danskim organizacijama IUC-Europe i Global Citizen. Održavanje konferencije su podržali Evropski fond za Balkan, Fond za otvoreno društvo Srbija i Balkanski fond za demokratiju, a veliku podršku u realizaciji su pružili Grad Novi Sad i Danska ambasada u Beogradu. Više informacija o projektu na: widely present in contemporary societies. Rešivoje embarks on various adventures with comic plots in which he always comes out the winner. The message conveyed to young people is clear: personal fulfilment and consequent social respect go hand in hand with concern for the common good. Every year, young people are invited to participate in a competition to encourage youth social activism. Its main target includes: non-formal groups, youth associations and associations dealing with youth issues. Two Competitions were organized, one in 2008, the other in 2009 with a total of 25 different events across Serbia, organized mainly by secondary school students and university students. A third of all the activities were implemented in rural areas. As of 2010, a Resivoje Award was introduced for the best youth activist and the best youth action. The project is implemented with support by the Ministry for Youth and Sport of the Government of the Republic of Serbia. More information about project on: rs Podeli svoje znanje - postani mentorka Ideja ovog programa je da okupi visoko stručne liderke iz različitih profesija (biznisa, javnog i civilnog sektora) kako bi podelile svoja znanja i iskustva sa mladim ženama sa sličnim interesovanjima i sa željom da budu uspešne u svojim oblastima. To će doprineti stvaranju prilika za mlade žene da unaprede svoj put u karijeri sa namerom da postignu pozitivan pomak i postave zdrave osnove za buduću dugoročnu saradnju. Program mentorstva predviđa da se savladaju značajne veštine umrežavanja, načini upotrebe starih i sticanje novih iskustava, da se dobiju saveti za dalje razvijanje karijere ili dobijanje posla, da se informiše o mogućnostima daljeg usavršavanja i mogućnostima međunarodnih razmena, da se dobiju korisni saveti u vezi sa prijavljivanjem na konkurse, dalja usavršavanja i slično. Waves of Democracy 2010 Young people in the Western Balkans are still not well informed about the issues, problems and challenges that youth from the EU countries deal with and vice versa. The lifestyles and ways of thinking of the youth from Western Balkans are distant from the horizons of young people living in the EU. The youth conference called Waves of Democracy 2010 was organized in July 2010 in Novi Sad with the aim of creating a platform which would connect young people from the Western Balkans and the EU countries. Nearly one hundred people participated at the conference and discussed the burning issues of contemporary societies. The participants adopted a Citizens Agenda, a final document which summarized the issues discussed and offered recommendations for future steps. 47

Projekat se realizuje uz podršku Olof Palme Fondacije. Podrška Skupštini Srbije u procesu evropskih integracija U saradnji sa Odborom za evropske integracije Narodne skupštine Republike Srbije i Kancelarijom Saveta Evrope u Beogradu EPuS je pokrenuo Program podrške Skupštini Srbije u procesu evropskih integracija čiji je cilj da poboljša informisanost lokalnih i regionalnih korisnika i zainteresovanih građana o vrednostima i principima demokratskih društava na kojima je Evropska unija zasnovana kao i da se predstavi proces pristupanja i pregovaranja za naše članstvo u EU, a pre svega uloga Narodne skupštine Republike Srbije u tom procesu. Cilj nam je bio i da nastavimo rad na komunikaciji o različitim aspektima procesa evropske integracije, kao i da pružimo priliku učesnicima da u kontaktu sa predstavnicima Narodne Skupštine Republike Srbije, predstavnicima državnih institucija i stručnjacima, dobiju šire znanje koje se odnosi na evropske integracije, regionalnu saradnju i neophodne reformske procese u našem društvu. Internet izvori i baze podataka o evropskim institucijama Uz podršku OEBS u nekoliko ciklusa je implementiran edukativni program za Parlament Srbije i Autonomne pokrajine Vojvodine, usmeren ka unaing social entrepreneurship, creating a more favorable social and legal environment for its development and lobbying relevant decision-maker for the adoption of regulations and investments into development of social entrepreneurship. The book on Social Enterprise and the Role of an Alternative Economy in the Process of the European Integration was published at the end of the first year of implementation. The second year was focused on women in the labor market and the opportunities that can be developed within the context of social entrepreneurship. The survey conducted with focus groups, subsequently published as a book, is an important source for understanding the position of women in transitional Serbia. An international conference entitled Social Entrepreneurship - Opportunities and Prospects was organized in The conference brought together all the relevant national stakeholders, distinguished guests from abroad, representatives of civil society and universities dealing with this topic, as well as representatives of existing social enterprises. During the last three years, partnerships were established with the Law Faculty in Nis, the International University of Novi Pazar, the Faculty of Political Sciences in Belgrade, the National Employment Service, the Team for Social Inclusion and Poverty Reduction of the Deputy Prime Minister of the Serbian Government, Group 484, and numerous individuals and organizations. The project is being implemented with the support of the Olof Palme Foundation. Organizovani su okrugli stolovi u Subotici, Valjevu, Novom Pazaru, Novom Sadu, Majdanpeku i Prokuplju, na kojima je direktno učestvovalo oko 300, a indirektno građana. Projekat je podržao Balkanski fond za demokratiju i Zajednička inicijativa EU i Saveta Evrope za podršku parlamentarnim institucijama. Support to the Parliament of Serbia in the European Integrations Process In cooperation with the Committee for European Integrations of the Parliament of the Republic of Serbia and the Office of the Council of Europe in Belgrade, the EMinS has launched a Support Program for the Serbian Parliament, entirely devoted to the Serbia s European integrations.

50 50 pređivanju stručnim službama parlamenata za uspešan rad u procesu evropskih integracija. Program se sastoji od serije radionica koje istražuju mogućnosti upoznavanja narodnih poslanika ali i stručnih službi Odbora na republičkom i pokrajinskom nivou sa Evropskom unijom i politikom pristupanja, ali i konkretnim veštinama za pretraživanje dokumenata i legislative na evropskom nivou. Na kraju seminara polaznici su obučeni za pretraživanje postojećih baza podataka uz korišćenje internet prezentacija pojedinih institucija EU, pretraživanje informacija i dokumenata o EU u okviru on-line baza podataka. Lokalna samouprava i civilno društvo u procesu programiranja i projektovanja IPA za Srbiju komponenta za prekograničnu saradnju Ovaj program je razvijen kao odgovor na niz problema u procesu programiranja i projektovanja IPA: nepoznavanje procedura i okvira za korišćenje pomoći EU, slaba informisanost o ostalim programima dostupnim Srbiji na lokalnom nivou; nedostatak kapaciteta i svesti na lokalnom nivou o potrebama dugoročnog programiranja lokalnog i regionalnog razvoja u skladu sa nacionalnim prioritetima i EU prioritetima, kao i nedostatak stručnih kadrova na lokalnom nivou koji bi adekvatno odgovorili na konkurse u skladu sa EU procedurama, posebno u pograničnim opštinama koje će učestvovati u prekograničnom programu sa Hrvatskom, CG i BiH, i na kraju nedovoljna informisanost predstavnika civilnog društva o procesima programiranja i projektovanja, i samim tim nedovoljna kontrola procesa na nacionalnom nivou. Cilj projekta je bio da se poboljša informisanost i razumevanje IPA prioriteta i ostalih dostupnih fondova EU na lokalnom nivou kao i da se pruži stručna konsultaciju za izradu projekata lokalne zajednice, sa ciljem povećanja kapaciteta pograničnih područja i opština, naročito u oblastima koje će prvi put biti uključene u program prekogranične saradnje. Organizovana su 3 dvodnevna seminara, za svaku CBC posebno, a učesnici su predstavljali lokalne samouprave, nevladine organizacije i medije, brojne kulturne institucije i ostale potencijalne korisnike IPA II komponente iz sva tri prekogranična regiona i graničnih opština. The project is focused on establishing a clear channel of communication between relevant authorities and citizens on different aspects of the integration process. It offers an opportunity for citizens to become better informed about European integrations, regional cooperation and the overall reform process under way in our society, through contacts with representatives of the National Parliament, government institutions, and experts. More that 300 people participated at round tables organized in Subotica, Valjevo, Novi Pazar, Novi Sad, Majdanpek and Prokuplje. The number of indirect beneficiaries goes over 10,000. The project was supported by the Balkan Trust for Democracy and the EU and Council of Europe Joint Initiative for the Support to Parliamentary Institutions. Internet Sources and Databases on European institutions With support from OSCE, the EMinS has launched a multi-cycle educational program for the Parliament of the Republic of Serbia and the Parliament of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, focused on strengthening the work of the expert offices dealing with the European integration process. The program consists of a series of workshops on the EU and the enlargement policy for members of the Parliament, parliamentarian expert offices and Committees in both, the national Parliament and the Parliament of Vojvodina. The program is also focused on strengthening the skills necessary for research on documents and legislature on a European level. Moreover, the participants also learned how to use the databases available in the internet presentations of several EU institutions, and how to search for information and documents on the EU. Local Self-Government and Civil Society in IPA Programming and Projecting Process for Serbia : The Cross-Border Cooperation Component The program was launched in the wake of a series of problems that arose regarding IPA programming processes: lack of knowledge about the procedures

Lokalna samouprava i civilno društvo u procesu programiranja i projektovanja IPA za Srbiju komponenta za Centralnu Srbiju Glavni cilj projekta je jačanje saradnje lokalne samouprave i organizacija civilnog društva u pretpristupnom periodu kroz učešće u IPA i programima Zajednice, ali i povećanje kapaciteta za unapređenje saradnje susednih opština u Centralnoj Srbiji kao i između nevladinog i vladinog sektora u istom regionu (koji nisu pokriveni programom prekogranične saradnje) i unapređenje procesa programiranja Instrumenta pretpristupne pomoći uključivanjem OCD iz čitave Srbije. Dvodnevni seminari su okupljali predstavnike lokalnih samouprava i institucija, nevladinih organizacija i medija iz graničnih opština iz Beograda, Podunavskog, Moravičkog, Šumadijskog, Pomoravskog, Topličkog i Rasinskog okruga. Za radni deo seminara su bili pripremljeni adekvatni materijali sa konkretnim uputstvima za rad. U cilju da se što veći broj OCD uključi u proces programiranja IPA i svojim predlozima pomogne donosiocima odluka da definišu prioritetne probleme koji se mogu rešiti ovim Instrumentom kreiran portal Civilno društvo Srbije predlaže: Portal služi boljem informisanju i praćenju programskih dokumenata i strategija ali treba da omogući što većem broju organizacija civilnog društva u Srbiji da daju svoj kontinuiran doprinos reformskim procesima kroz prepoznavanje prioritetnih problema u svojoj sredini i predloga za njihovo rešenje a sa ciljem efikasnijeg procesa integracije Srbije u EU. Projekat je podržao USAID preko Instituta za održive zajednice. Škole evropskih integracija seminari Cilj seminara je, prevashodno, izgradnja kapaciteta lokalne i regionalne administracije, organizacija and frameworks for applying to the EU for funding; a lack of information about other programs available to Serbia on a local level; lack of capacity and awareness on a local level about the long-term needs for programming local and regional development according to national and EU priorities; lack of experts on the local level who could deal effectively with EU procedures, especially in border municipalities (projects were being developed with Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina); lack of information among representatives of civil society about the process of programming and insufficient control of the process at the national level. The program aimed at improving information and understanding of IPA priorities and other accessible EU funds on a local level, the expert consulting necessary for developing local community projects, especially in the areas where cross-border cooperation is an issue, and increasing capacities in border areas and municipalities, especially in those that have never participated in cross-border cooperation (with Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina). The main focus of the program is to improve visibility for direct beneficiaries about the IPA programming process. The EMinS organized three two-day seminars for each segment of cross-border cooperation. The application forms for the participation at the seminars were sent to the heads of local municipalities, civic society organizations, media, cultural institution and other potential IPA beneficiaries in municipalities in question. The brochures Revised Edition of the IPA Guide and The New Community Programs were published. The Project was supported by the Fund for an Open Society Local Self-Government and Civil Society in the IPA Programming and Projecting Process for Serbia The Component for Central Serbia The main goal of the project was to enhance cooperation between local self-government and civil society organizations through their involvement in the IPA and Community Programs in the pre-accession period.

52 52 civilnog društva, medija i drugi za proces evropskih integracija i prepoznavanje adekvatne uloge i kompetencija u pretpristupnom periodu je jedna od prioriteta rada EPuS. EPUS je kreirao Školu Evropskih integracija kao model koji se implementira na osnovu potreba i zahteva specifičnih grupa, fondova ili donatora. Model obuke obuhvata široki opseg tema i posebnih, specifičnih podtema, a zavisno od interesovanja i potreba korisnika: od istorije EU, opisa nadležnosti njenih institucija, načina donošenja odluka, politike proširenja, regionalne saradnje do onih praktičnih koji se odnose na posebne politike, on line baze podataka i EU pretraživača, uloge LS u procesu integracija, nama dostupne fondove i obuke za apliciranje za evropske programe i fondove. Organizacija svake pojedinačne škole podrazumeva: Dizajniranje programa seminara koji uključuje teorijski i praktičan deo; odabir predavača i konsultacije/trening instrukcije; priprema trening materijala; organizacija treninga/logistika - mesto održavanja, transport, osveženje, tehnik; evaluacija i izveštavanje. Do sada su organizovani seminari za: Upravu Grada Beograda (donator: Skupština Grada Beograda); Opštinu Kovin (donator: Help - Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe e.v.); Multietničku grupu predstavnika civilnog društva sa Kosova (donator: Kosovo Open Society Fund). Vodiči kroz evropske politike Projekat Vodiči kroz evropske politike predstavlja proaktivan pristup u pripremi i informisanju svih zainteresovanih strana - donosioca odluka, medija, eksperata i šire javnosti za sledeću fazu u odnosima sa EU kao i za novu predpristupnu fazu. Objavljivanjem Vodiča uspostavljaju se intenzivne kanale komunikacije za promciju debate o strateškim pitanjima u odnosima Srbije i EU. Projekat takođe pruža objektivne i relevantne informacije o Evropskoj uniji. Osnovni cilj projekta je priprema i prezentacija osnovnih elemenata trenutne evropske legislative iz određenih oblasti. Objavljuje se 5 vodiča kroz sledeće evropske politike: Poljoprivreda, Zaštita životne sredine, Trgovina, Pravosuđe, slobode i bezrities and other available EU funds on a local level, providing the expert consultancy necessary for the development of local community projects, raising capacity for improving cooperation among neighboring municipalities in central Serbia and between the governmental and non-governmental sectors in the same region (which is not covered by the crossborder cooperation program), improving the process of IPA programming by engaging civil society organizations from the whole country. EMinS two day seminars brought together representatives of local self-governance and other institutions from Serbia, and representatives of civil society organizations and media from border municipalities in the following counties: Belgrade, Podunavski, Moravicki, Sumadijski, Pomoravski, Toplicki and Rasinski. Specially designed working material and a guide for practical use were prepared for each participant. The seminars were focused on solving the following issues: understanding the structure of the procedures and frameworks used for EU funds and tackling the lack of information regarding other EU programs available to Serbian local communities; insufficient capacity and lack of awareness on a local level about the need for long-term programming in the local and regional development projects, in accordance with national and EU priorities; lack of experts on a local level who can deal properly with the EU procedures; lack of information among civil society representatives about the programming process, and insufficient control of the process on a national level. A special web presentation was created Civil Society Suggests: aimed at further increasing the number of civil society organizations in the IPS programming process. The webpresentation is a well-structured source of information including all the relevant program documents and strategies. Its interactive nature also allows civil society organizations to give their continuous contribution in the reform processes, prioritize problems in their communities and formulate suggestions for solutions. By doing so, the process of Serbia s EU integration will become more efficient. The project was supported by the USAID through the Institute for Sustainable Communities.

53 bednost i Energetika. Pri odabiru ovih oblasti vodilo se računa o njihovoj važnosti za Srbiju, kao i o kompleksnosti same oblasti. Vodiči će sadržati osnovni osvrt na evropsku legislativu (acquis), kao i primere iz prakse. Vodiči će takođe izložiti iskustva Republike Slovačke u ovim oblastima pri pristupanju Evropskoj uniji. Vodiči uključuju i rečnik sa objašnjenim osnovnim terminima za svaku odabranu oblast. Namenjeni su ekspertima, ali i široj javnosti, pre svega predstavnicima države i javnih institucija, akademskim krugovima i studentima, diplomatama, kao i svima koji su zainteresovani za pitanja EU. Aktivnosti na projektu uljučuju trening urednika i autora u istraživačkom centru Slovačke Asocijacije za spoljnu politiku, izradu objavljivanje, promociju i distribuciju svih pet Vodiča. Projekat se realizuje u saradnji sa Istraživačkim centrom Slovačke Asocijacije za spoljnu politiku, a projekat je podržala Slovak Aid. Srbija je u Evropi Projekat Srbija je u Evropi je projekat Ministarstva za dijasporu Republike Srbije (MZD) kojim ministarstvo namerava da uključi srpsku dijasporu u proces evropskih integracija Srbije kroz organizovanje obuka za pripremu projekata za EU fondove. Cilj projekta je jačanje kapaciteta udruženja/klubova/organizacija dijaspore i približavanje dijaspori procesa evropskih integracija Srbije. Evropski pokret u Srbiji je prepoznat kao organizacija koja po svojoj misiji, ciljevima, oblicima delovanja i iskustvu u potpunosti odgovara zahtevima definisanim projektom. Partnerska saradnja Ministarstva za dijasporu i Evropskog pokreta u Srbiji planirana je na duži period, dok će se treći partner menjati u zavisnosti od države u kojoj se projekat realizuje. U prvoj fazi projekta organizovani su seminari za srpsku dijasporu u Saveznoj Republici Nemačkoj, Austriji i Francuskoj. Seminari su usmereni na sticanje znanja i veština u pripremi projekata za EU fondove, ali i pružaju uvid u proces evropskih integracija i doprinos i ulogu dijaspore u procesu pristupanja Srbije EU. Projekat je podržalo Ministarstvo za dijasporu Republike Srbije. Schools for European Integration Seminars One of the key priorities of the European Movement in Serbia is to recognize adequate roles and competences among different social entities in the pre-accession period. To achieve this goal, the EMinS initiated the School for the European Integrations as a model to be implemented based on the needs and demands of specific target groups, funds and donors. The main goal of the Schools is to build the capacity of local and regional administrations, civil society organizations, and media necessary for the process of European integrations. The training covers a wide range of topics, depending on the beneficiaries interests and needs: the history of the European Union, the description of its institutions and their jurisdictions, the decisionmaking process, the enlargement policy, regional cooperation, EU policies, on-line databases, EU search engines, the role of local government in the integration process, available funds and training seminars for applying for European programs and funds. The program is specifically designed for each seminar: theoretical and practical parts, the choice of lecturers and training material and instructions, the organization of the training itself and the logistics (venue, transport, refreshment, technical equippment, evalualtion and reporting). To date, the seminars have been organized for the following clients: the Belgrade City Administration (donor: the Belgrade City Assembly); the Municipality of Kovin (donor: Help - Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe E.V.); the multiethnic group of civil society representatives from Kosovo (donor: the Kosovo Open Society Fund).

Projekat Apsorpcioni kapaciteti Srbije za korišćenje EU fondova praktična iskustva Slovačke fokusiran je na istraživanje različitih aspekata apsorpcionih kapaciteta administracije u Srbiji. Takođe, kroz primer pretpristupnog iskustva Slovačke u ovom pogledu, ukazuje se na sve prednosti, ali i potencijalne institucionalne i proceduralne slabosti, kao praktične lekcije za Srbiju u pretpristupnom periodu. Finalni rezultat istraživanja je policy studija koja doprinosi razvoju moderne javne administarcije i jačanju njenih kapaciteta za upravljanje evropskim finansijskim instrumentima. Opšti cilj projekta je doprinos jačanju apsorpcionih kapaciteta nacionalne, regionalne i lokalne administracije za korišćenje pretpristupnih sredstava Evropske unije. Specifični cilj projekta je izrada sveobuhvatnog predloga praktične politike (policy paper) koja uključuje različite aspekte apsorpcionih kapaciteta za korišćenje pretpristupnih sredstava EU, na osnovu praktičnih iskustava Slovačke. Projektne aktivnosti obuhvataju analizu absorpcionih kapaciteta Srbije u pretpristupnom periodu, izradu pregleda institucionalne strukture za upravljanje EU fondovima u Srbiji i analizu iskustva Slovačke u apsorpciji pretpristupnih EU sredstava. Rezultujuća studija kreatorima politike u Srbiji daje konkretne preporuke i savete iz iskustva pristupanja EU Slovačke kako da se poboljšaju postojeće institucije i strukture koje se bave upravljanjem EU fondova u Srbiji. Partner na projektu je Fond Centar za demokratiju, dok je projekat podržala PONTIS Fondacija. Podrška implementaciji SSP u oblasti poljoprivrede Projekat podrške implementaciji SSP u poljoprivredi usmeren je na veliku ciljnu grupu poljoprivrednih proizvođača, a sa ciljem da blagovremeno: informiše The basic goal of the project is to prepare and present key elements of the current European legislature in certain areas. Five Manuals are being prepared for publication: Energy, Agriculture, Environmental protection, Trade, and Justice Freedom and Security. When choosing the topics, special focus was given to their importance to Serbia, as well as to the complex nature of each field. The Manuals will be structured so as to present an overview of European law (acquis), alongside many practical examples. The Manuals present the experience of Slovakia in these areas during the process of its EU accession. They also contain a glossary of terms, which further explain the basic terminology for each selected area. They are designed for both experts and the general public, especially representatives of government and public institutions (such as, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defense, the European Integration Office, the National Assembly and its Committee for European Integrations, the Committee for International Relations, the Committee for Environmental Protection, etc), academic circles and students, diplomats, and everyone interested in EU affairs.

Vizija evropske Srbije Iako je Evropska unija kontinuirano naglašavala svoju posvećenost evropskoj perspektivi zemalja Zapadnog Balkana i Srbije među njima, globalna dešavanja i unutrašnji izazovi same EU izgleda da odvlače pažnju od regiona. Prošla, godina je prepoznata kao ključna za očuvanje (afirmativne) politike proširenja EU i zadržavanje zamajca u zemljama Zapadnog Balkana u kojima je primetno opadanje podrške integracijskim procesima. Srbija je suočena sa značajnim ekonomskim izazovima, opasnosti od porasta nezaposlenosti, siromaštva i zaduženosti kao i recesije koja se opasno primiče. Ipak, proces evropskih integracija u Srbiji nije zaustavljan i trebalo bi da bude ojačan. Imajući sve u vidu glavni ciljevi konferencije su bili: da se oceni trenutno stanje postignuća i izazovi, kao i da se pruži pregled regionalnih mehanizama i mehanizama Evropske unije koji daju konkretnu podršku trenutnom okviru za bržu integraciju i razvoj. Istovremeno smo se osvrnuli na relevantna iskustva iz procesa integracije zemalja Srednje i Istočne Evrope i jer bi taj model solidarnosti i saradnje bio inspirativan za Zapadni Balkan. Konferencija je organizovana u tri panela koji su se bavili izazovima sa kojima su suočeni Srbija i region, kao i aspektima njihove integracije u Evropu.

61 Dunav- najjača veza sa EU The Danube - The Strongest Link to the EU Da li sledi nova gasna kriza? Poučeni iskustvom sa gasnom krizom početkom godine, Evropski pokret u Srbiji uz podršku Evropskog fonda za Balkan okupio je predstavnike struke iz oblasti energetike i snabdevanja gasom iz Srbije i regiona na panel diskusiji pod nazivom Da li sledi nova gasna kriza? Cilj rasprave bio je da se javnost blagovremeno obavesti o situaciji vezanoj za snabdevanje gasom, kako iz ugla domaćih, tako i iz ugla i predstavnika inostranih organizacija i država. Osnovni cilj je bio da se dodatno informiše javnost o potrebi adekvatnog praćenja situacije i prilagođavanja energetske politike kao i da se predstave predlozi za kratkoročno i srednjeročno ublažavanje mogućih negativnih posledica. Istraživanje urađeno neposredno pre panel diskusije pokazalo je neophodnost održavanja ovakve javne debate kao i pravi trenutak za to imajući u vidu dolazeću zimu i prošlogodišnja negativna iskustva. Svi govornici, u okviru dva panela, su odličnim prezentacijama upoznali učesnike o uticaju moguće nove gasne krize na svakodnevni život. Panel diskusija je predstavljala priliku da se otvoreno diskutuje o pitanjima of civil society in Serbia, the academic community, social partners, chambers of commerce and media. The project was implemented in cooperation with the Serbian Chamber of Commerce, and supported by the Fridrich Ebert Foundation.

Može li i treba li EU da pokuša da smanji svoju zavisnost od ruskih hidrikarbona? Da li su EU i Rusija u ratu cevovoda? Šta znači energetska solidarnost?

78 78 Regionalne inicijative i multilateralna saradnja na Balkanu Knjiga predstavlja dopunjeno i ažurirano izdanje knjige Duška Lopandića Regionalne inicijative u jugoistočnoj Evropi, koju su godine objavili Evropski pokret u Srbiji i Institut za međunarodnu politiku i privredu u Beogradu. Dopunjeno izdanje nudi živu, zanimljivu i veoma obuhvatnu sliku procesa stvaranja složene strukture multilateralnog povezivanja i saradnje u jugoistočnoj Evropi u sve većem broju oblasti. Osim toga, autori su dali svoju ocenu pomenutih procesa i inicijativa i ponudili moguće verzije daljeg razvoja regionalnog multilateralizma na ovim prostorima. Knjiga Spoljna politika Srbije: strategije i dokumenta jeste rezultat rada na projektu Definisanje strategije spoljne politike koji je otvorio prostor za izradu tri različite strategije spoljne politike Srbije i predloga Strategije Foruma za međunarodne odnose EPuS. Na izradi strategija, koje su poslužile kao osnova za brojne javne debate, su radili studenti završnih godina fakulteta i mentori i asistenti iz Foruma. Međutim, knjiga ima i očiglednu dokumentarnu vrednost, jer sadrži i Zbirku dokumenata o spoljnoj politici Srbije od godine do danas. Dokumenta koja ukazuju na postojanje strateškog razmišljanja o spoljnoj politici Srbije u određenom istorijskom trenutku, bez obzira na državni okvir, treba da omoguće studentima, članovima univerzitetske zajednice, diplomatama u procesu obrazovanja ili u službi i široj javnosti da se upoznaju sa dva veka bogate srpske spoljnopolitičke aktivnosti. Spoljna politika Srbije strategije i dokumenta for International Relations. Students of the final years of their university studies worked on the strategies in cooperation with their mentors and assistants from the Forum. Their work was followed up with a series of public debates. However, the book has also an evident documentary value, since it includes a collection of documents on Serbian foreign policy between 1804 and today. The documents underline the existence of a strategic thinking in Serbian foreign policy throughout different historical moments, regardless of its state framework. The book is an important tool for students, members of the academic community, students of diplomacy and diplomats in service and the wider public to understand two highly important centuries in Serbian foreign policy.

80 80 Međunarodna saradnja International Cooperation

81 Misija i ciljevi Evropskog pokreta u Srbiji nužno nameću potrebu i za komunikacijom sa evropskim partnerima na svim nivoima kako bi se prenela postojeća znanja i iskustva drugih zemalja ali i promovisala politika proširenja i proces pristupanja Srbije u EU, u zemljama članicama i institucijama EU. Kao nacionalno veće i deo najstarije panevropske mreže, EPuS aktivno učestvuje u radu Međunarodnog evropskog pokreta sa sedištem u Briselu, na redovnim Skupštinama i tematskim konferencijama ove mreže. Decembra, godine na izbornoj Skupštini MEP, kandidat i predstavnik EPuS, Ksenija Milenković je izabrana za potpredsednicu MEP. Dobili smo podršku brojnih nacionalnih veća za ovu kandidaturu, kako iz regiona tako i iz zemalja članica EU. Sa pojedinačnim nacionalnim većima imamo dnevnu i projektnu saradnju, na primer sa Evropskim pokretom Nemačke. EPuS je uspostavio saradnju sa Evropskim pokretom Portugala. Usvojen je okvir za saradnju i krajem februara (od 25. do 27. februara, godine). EPuS i našu zemlju je posetila delegacija EPP: João Menezes Ferreira, savetnik MSP, Armando Marques Guedes, potpredsednik EPP i profesor na pravnom fakultetu i Nuno Piçarra, potpredsednik EPP. EPuS je učestvovao i na Ljubljanskom kongresu koji su organizovali EP Slovenije i MEP uz podršku slovenačke vlade od 16. do 18. aprila, godine Organizacije civilnog društva izazivaju vlast. Takođe, predstavnici EPuS su učestvovali na regionalnom skupu Konferencija Evropskih pokreta JIE koji je organizovao Regionalni savet za saradnju, a koja je održana je u Sarajevu 17. maja, godine. Zemlje članice EU koje su ne tako davno prošle sličnim putem ka članstvu su dragoceni partneri. Stoga je Evropski pokret 26. Naturally, the mission and goals of the European Movement in Serbia are to promote the need for communication with European partners on all levels in order to transfer existing knowledge and experience to other countries, but also to promote the enlargement policy and Serbia s EU accession process in EU member s states and EU institutions. As a national council, and part of the oldest pan-european network, EMinS actively participates in the work of the European Movement International, with headquarters in Brussels, in the regular Assemblies and thematic conferences of this network. In December 2008, at the electoral Assembly of the EMI, the candidate and representative of EMinS, Ksenija Milenković, was elected as vice president of EMI. We obtained support for the candidacy from numerous national councils across the region as well as from EU member states. We have daily contacts with national councils with which we cooperate on projects; one example is the European Movement Germany. EMinS has established cooperation with the European Movement Portugal. A framework for cooperation was adopted at the end of February (February 25 27, 2009). A delegation from EMP visited EMinS and Serbia: João Menezes Ferreira, Counselor of the ICJ, Armando Marques Guedes, Vice President of EMP and a professor at the Faculty of Law, and Nuno Piçarra, Vice President of EMP. Between April 16 and 18, 2009, EMinS took part in the Ljubljana Congress entitled Civil Society Organizations Challenge the Government, organized by the EM Slovenia and EMI with the support of the Slovenian Government. EMinS also participated in the regional conference Conference of National Councils of the European Movement in South East Europe organized by Regional Cooperation Council, which was held in Sarajevo on May 17,

82 82 juna, godine potpisao Memorandum o saradnji sa ambasadama zemalja Višegradske grupe (Republika Slovačka, Republika Mađarska, Češka Republika i Republika Poljska) koji s jedne strane pruža okvir za nove inicijative i uspostavljanje saradnje u različitim oblastima s ciljem unapređenja procesa integracije naše zemlje u EU, a s druge strane pozdravlja postojeće aktivnosti s obe strane s ciljem transfera tranzicionih i evropskih iskustava zemalja V4. EU member states that have recently joined the path of membership are invaluable partners. Therefore, the EMinS has signed a Memorandum on cooperation with the Embassies of the Visegrad Group of countries (Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary), which provides a framework for new initiatives and for the establishment of cooperation in different areas with the aim of further advancing our county s EU integration, and, on the other hand, to acknowledge the existing activities on both sides, which aim to transfer transitional and European experiences of the V4 countries.
