Abstract
How does one build peace when one’s surroundings view the current peace as sufficient? How does one handle the transition from conflict to post-conflict? Women activists in the Balkans keep up with the new trends involving economic reform and steps towards the EU, but speak of the 1990s with a certain amount of nostalgia. They argue that the room for action depends on how unified the movement is, and on whether it is prepared to be difficult and critical. While it was more difficult to work 20 years ago, it was also much more “romantic”. We had a common goal: to stop the war and depose the regime. Our moral responsibility was towards the victims of crimes committed in our name, says Staša Zajović from Women in Black in Belgrade.
