EUROMESCO ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON THE "CHANGING EURO-MEDITERRANEAN LENSES"
|
12 July 2018
The EuroMeSCo annual conference “Changing Euro-Mediterranean Lenses” brought together over 160 researchers, decision-makers, academics and representatives of civil society from 25 countries in the Euro-Mediterranean area to challenge some ideas that underpin Euro-Mediterranean relations.
In Euro-Mediterranean fora indeed, the focus is often on the state of the South and Southeast part of the Mediterranean and its impact on the European Union. In turn, this conference focused on how recent developments in Europe affect the southern shore of the Mediterranean and more generally Euro-Mediterranean relations. Similarly, Euro-Mediterranean policies are too often understood as policies of the European Union towards the Southern Mediterranean.
Therefore, this conference also looked at policies and strategies developed by southern Mediterranean countries vis-à-vis the EU and other partners.
The conference was co-organized by the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed) and the OCP Policy Center.
The Fondazione Mediterraneo, co-founder of the network, and the Federazione Anna Lindh Italy took part in the work.

THE FONDAZIONE MEDITERRANEO PARTICIPATES IN THE 23rd ANNIVERSARY OF THE "STRAGE INSEPOLTA"

11 July 2018
This year Omer Dudic will finally be able to bury his dear dead in the genocide. The remains of his brother Nijazija and his sister-in-law Remzija, who was six months pregnant at the time, were recognized thanks to the DNA analysis in the Tuzla identification center and their names appear on the list of 35 people buried on 11 July 2018 during the celebrations for the anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre.
"In those days of 1995 I was just twenty years old - he tells visibly moved - and I managed to save myself by miracle, fleeing through the woods and walking for over a hundred kilometers barefoot. Since then I have never stopped looking for my relatives ". Today Omer is a farmer in Osmace, a village not far from Srebrenica, surrounded by the green countryside surrounding the Drina valley, on the border between Bosnia and Serbia. It is hard to believe that only a few years ago such a silent and poetic place was the scene of a ferocious ethnic cleansing. Of the approximately one thousand inhabitants who lived here at the time, there are only about eighty now.
A few scattered houses inhabited mostly by some elderly widow, a memorial to the victims of the war and around expanses of fields as far as the eye can see. Fields that could be cultivated, if only there were still the arms to do it. From here you get to Srebrenica in less than half an hour, descending along the road that Ratko Mladic and his troops of executioners traveled after the definitive fall of the city. The physiognomy of the small downtown square has recently been modified by an impressive red building that houses a hotel and a Turkish bank. Next to it, the minaret of the main city mosque is dominated by the dome of the Orthodox church. After what happened in the first half of the 1990s, the cohabitation between the Serbian community and the Muslim minority is a daily challenge. The latter, too, is now bothered by the noisy celebrations machine that is activated every year on 11 July, the annual parade of international delegations, the spotlights that come on for half a day and then go off again until the following year. "It is true, this will be the first anniversary after Mladic's conviction and the closing of the Hague Court of Justice - recognizes Bekir, who was a child during the war - but here the news of convictions come as a distant echo, which does not it shifts the daily balances of ordinary people ".
The survivors and relatives of the victims are forced to live every day with the memory of the genocide and to deal with a moral and material reconstruction that even after so many years is still struggling to take off.
"The process of reconciliation continues to be hampered by nationalist ideologies that throw salt on the wounds of a drama begun long before what the world remembers," explains Hasan Hasanovic, curator of the documentation center of the Potocari memorial, in which he is buried his father too. The siege of the Serbian nationalists in the city began on a spring day of twenty-five years ago, in 1993. "The UN had negotiated a cease-fire, the people thought they could take a breath and we children went out to play football in the schoolyard - he remembers - but suddenly, from the surrounding mountains, grenades began to rain on the city. One hit the playing field in full and exploded a few meters away from me ».
That day Hasan saved himself by miracle but saw fourteen of his classmates die. The slaughter that would have taken place two years later also marked the failure of the international community, as also recalled by the photographic exhibition set up in the premises of the former UN base of Potocari.
With the 35 burials this year, the total burial will exceed 6,800 but the long process to restore an identity to the remains of more than eight thousand victims continues, also because the woods around Srebrenica continue to return the bones buried in the mass graves.
Dragana Vucetic, a forensic anthropologist from the research center on missing persons in Tuzla, confirms that there are about a thousand victims still to be identified.
The Fondazione Mediterraneo, founded precisely to help the victims of the war in the former Yugoslavia, is at the side of these tormented populations.

06 July 2018
A book of poetry, entitled "The oregano" will finance the purchase of tools for survival, the defribillators: to write the book was the journalist Olga Fernandes who presented it at the Museum of Peace - MAMT".
"In Italy - explains the writer - the victims of cardiac arrest are more than 70,000 every year, and more than 80% of deaths occur far from hospitals and health facilities, and in this sense it is significant that in 65% of cases the cardiac arrest hit in the presence of witnesses and 60% of these events happen on the street, data from which it is evident the importance of defibrillators on the territory, which brings undoubted benefits on the front of survival.The defibrillator is a very precious tool, because it allows a intervention as immediate as fundamental, since for the person affected by cardiac arrest, every minute that passes is vitally important: in just sixty seconds, in fact, it reduces its chances of staying alive by only 10%, after only 5 minutes of time , the chances of salvation fall to 50% But can you die only because a defibrillator is missing? " Olga Fernandes has therefore launched a campaign for the maximum diffusion of defibrillators and is devoting all her energies to trying to find as many of these tools as possible, and to make them available to the population.
"Pain changes us," says the journalist, "it changes our perceptions We are souls divided in two, between generosity and mistrust, we need to find the courage to change, to dedicate ourselves to helping others, through my campaign for defibrillators knowing extraordinary people, ready to commit themselves to others, for whom giving, helping and supporting is a source of joy. I sincerely thank all those who have collaborated and are collaborating in this campaign. "From next September Olga Fernandes will lead on Crc Targato Italia the transmission "l'ORigano informa", dedicated to these topics.
Of the book and the need to spread as much as possible the defibrillators have talked about it, together with the author Rony Aloia mayor of Vallo della Lucania (the first in Italy to include in the regulatory plan the obligation of defibrillators in new buildings and assignee of the "Premio l'ORigano"); the architect Gennaro Testa, the architect Patrizia Bottaro, the architect Emma Buondonno, Giovanny Block, singer-songwriter; Michele Capasso, president of the Fondazione Mediterraneo and "landlord", Stella Cervasio, journalist of the Republic, the architect Massimo Pica Ciamarra, Antonella De Cesare, conductor, Peppino di Capri, songwriter, Ciro Esposito, commander of the municipal police of Naples, i Naea, musical group and Sabatino Raia, singing teacher.
