She is the author of “Saviours of the Nation: Serbia's Intellectual Opposition and the Revival of Nationalism” and co-editor of “State Collapse in South-Eastern Europe: New Perspectives on Yugoslavia's Disintegration”.
EVENT SUMMARY
Dr Dragovic-Soso presented her research-in-progress on the attempts of establishing a truth commission for the war crimes taken place on the territory of former Yugoslavia throughout the 1990s.
Why the previous two national truth commissions have failed, and which prospects does the incipient RECOM (Regional Commission for identification and public disclosure) have of succeeding were among the main topics discussed.
