Preparations for the conference "In Search of Truth and
Responsibility - Towards A Democratic Future" began late
last year. The conference itself is not in any way related
to the establishment of the Yugoslav Truth and Reconciliation
Commission.
Some fifty experts from around the world and the Balkans
region are on the list of guests. Unfortunately many of
those invited have reluctantly had to decline due to prior
engagements.
Another particularly grave problem is that for a large
number of those invited from southern Serbia and Kosovo,
their memories of the crimes committed in Kosovo are too
painful and their dissatisfaction over the province's
unresolved political status too great for them to come
to Belgrade.
However, the organisers are convinced that the importance
of the conference far outweighs the political outlook
and personal motives of participants. At issue is the
process of facing the past, which must be initiated sooner
or later. We must get to grips with this problem as soon
as possible in order to leave a lasting legacy for future
generations. Kosovo, still a fresh wound, will certainly
be one issue to be discussed and confronted by those who
want to go on living in the region.
