It would seem that the progressive global justice movement in Serbia is
facing numerous pressures following the murder, officially attributed by
the government to organised criminal gangs (Zemun Clan) which are a key
part of the state-mafia nexus, of Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic. As
such a "state of emergency" is not necessary for those guilty of this crime
are no doubt close to home: the state need not look very far to find the
guilty parties.
The state has used its state of emergency powers and arrested Ratibor
Trivunac, a Serbian anarcho-syndicalist activist.
I have noticed that I cannot access the web sites of the progressive global
justice movement. The various human rights and democracy bodies glorified
by the western media during the Milosevic era have largely remained silent,
with the Helsinki Committe for Human Rights choosing to get excited about
the speech of the priest at the Prime Minister's funeral (which had its
good and shit parts). The youth resistance movement "Otpor", which played a
key role in the fall of Milosevic, actually supports the "state of emergency".
I was wondering if there is more information out there about what is going
on re the state of emergency? Prior to the murder of the PM there began the
formation of serious autonomous social resistance movements in Serbian
working class towns such as Bor.
