Yugoslav guitar history
16th Century "Beglerbeg" ensamble from Beograd as seen by Salomon Schweigger in 1576. The earliest records of stringed instruments in Dardania (1) (territory of Macedonia and southern parts of Serbia) show that plucked-string instruments have existed in Yugoslavia since pre-Christian time, around 300 years B.C.
The Byzantine chronicler Teofilakt Simokata records the first evidence of the zither, used by the old Slavs who settled in the Balkans, in the seventh century. He reported an incident that occurred when three Slavonic soldiers, armed only with their plucked-string zithers, were captured by the army of the Byzantine emperor Mavrikie.
Nevertheless it would be unjustified to claim, that the Slavs were solely responsible for the development and expansion of the guitar-like instruments on Yugoslav soil. The influence of Antic Greece, and then Romans should also be mentioned. It is hard to believe that, during their rule over the Balkan Peninsula, their most favored instruments the Zither Teutonica and Zither Romana

I. Faults in Western Analysis
American and Western foreign policy toward Central and Eastern Europe suffers from a fundamental misunderstanding of the region's complex history. There are two primary reasons for this: (1) The study of Central and Eastern Europe in the West was tied to Soviet Studies. As a result, the conflicts within the countries of Central and Eastern Europe were seen as less important to U.S. foreign policy given the Cold War and the East-West confrontation; and (2) Central and Eastern European history is often studied in three periods, pre-World War I, the Peace Years (between the wars), and Post-World War II, rather than as a continuous process of history. This division of history leads to poor analysis because it dismisses over a thousand years of historical development and nation building. The students of more modern Central and Eastern European affairs tend to view the region as a constant, with the countries existing after World War I and II as historical nations. Therefore, the outbreak of the bitter ethnic conflict in the former Yugoslavia caught many off guard. Historically, however, many of these ethnic groups were often at odds due to differences in religion, culture, and economic and political development. It is therefore simply logical that these groups did not form a single historical nation on their own. It was Western influence that led to the formation of post World War I "nations" such as Yugoslavia. Without a correct historical analysis and thorough understanding of the region, development of a coherent and consistent U.S. foreign policy is made more difficult.

The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) was spared the inter-ethnic violence that raged elsewhere in the Balkans following the break-up of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s but it came close to civil war a decade after independence.
Rebels staged an uprising in early 2001, demanding greater rights for the ethnic Albanian minority. The conflict set off a wave of refugees and the rebels made territorial gains. OVERVIEW
FACTS
LEADERS MEDIA After months of skirmishes, EU and Nato support enabled the late president, Boris Trajkovski, to strike a peace deal. Under the Lake Ohrid agreement, Albanian fighters laid down their arms in return for greater ethnic-Albanian recognition within a unitary state. Acknowledgement of ethnic-Albanian rights was formalised in a new constitution that was approved by parliament in late 2001. The country's identity remains contentious and it is still referred to formally as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM).

Conflicts in the west
The wars in Slovenia and Croatia were initially fought in the name of forcibly keeping Yugoslavia united. They soon became overtly nationalist in character, with a clash between the Serbian and Croatian nationalist ideologies personified by Presidents and of Serbia and Croatia respectively. The Serb-Croat conflict was greatly complicated in Bosnia by the presence of the large Muslim Bosniak ) population, which caused it to develop into a three-way conflict that was by far the bloodiest of the Yugoslav wars. The Yugoslav wars in the west were ended by the military defeat of Serbia/Yugoslavia in Slovenia and Croatia, and the signing of the Dayton Agreement for Bosnia. edit

History of the conflict in Ex-Yugoslavia
Submitted by Nalini Lasiewicz
Too many people in the U.S. are now shouting out their general disapproval for U.S. President Bill Clinton by attacking the NATO mission in Bosnia-Herzogovina. They have a right to their opinion, but I'm afraid they are more influenced by right-wing and conservative media and radio hosts than by a thoughtful analysis of the true flaws of the agreement and mission, or the culpability and responsibility of the Western nations and in particular, the United Nations Security Council in the present state of the conflict.
I think that it's useful to have a simple overview of how this war was started so that the debate includes an understanding of the facist forces that began the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Without this basic knowledge, it is impossible to argue whether the U.S. brokered partition plan is good for the People or not.
Here is an essay from Alan Fogelquist's book, The Break-up of Yugoslavia, published in 1993. For more information on this book, call the Lasiewicz Foundation at 213/668-1811, Los Angeles, CA. If you are involved in other Internet discussion boards, please feel free to share this posting.
"The current war in Bosnia-Herzogovina is essentially a war of aggression from the outside, even though it has internal ethnic dimensions. The conflict is a continuation of the war of aggression against Slovenia and Croatia, which temporarily subsided in those countries, (but has reignited in Croatia. in 1995). If the Serbian war machine is not stopped, the war can only spread to new areas and is likely to result in a confrontation of continental proportions. In the meantime, Milosevic's allies in Bosnia have been carrying out step-by-step destruction of most of the country.

News and History Resources for Eastern Europe and the Former Yugoslavia
Eastern Europe
There are several sources for news about events in Eastern Europe . The best way to keep up with everyday news in on the Internet. Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) publishes a handy roundup of the day's news in their Newsline , which also covers the former Soviet Union. For general news, you can search the websites of the BBC News and ABC News . The newspapers and journals that cover that do a good job at covering major events and have regular feature articles on the region are the New York Times Christian Science Monitor , and Foreign Affairs . There are a number of good books on current events in Eastern Europe. Just go to your local library or bookstore and take your pick. For a quick read, the March 1996 issue of Current History was devoted to the region. Since ethnicity is a factor in the politics of much of Eastern Europe, take a look at the ethnic map of the region at the University of Texas Library web site. In terms of books on the history of the region, there are a couple that I'd highly recommend:
  • The Price of Freedom: A History of East Central Europe From the Middle Ages to the Present , by Piotr S. Wandycz (focus on Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia)

    var loc = "../../../";
    The judges of the War Crimes Tribunal at The Hague called on Professor Paul Garde to give an historic overview of the Balkans region and Garde then fielded questions from the judges. Garde's testimony was given June 27-28, 1996. He is a professor of Slav literature and languages and has written many lingustics books. Since 1991 Garde's research and writing have focused on the break-up of Yugoslavia.
    Q. What are some of the key events in the history of the former Yugoslavia? A. In the former Yugoslavia, in the western part of the Balkans, you have different peoples living there that speak the same language or similar languages the southern Slavic languages and you have peoples who for a long time have belonged to different cultural areas. You have the Serbs and Macedonians that belonged to eastern Christianity or orthodoxy, then you have the Croats that belong to western Christianity, to Catholicism. So, basically, you have different cultural backgrounds and you have sociological different habits, as it were. Back in the Middle Ages at different times you had Serb states, you had Croat states, you had Bosnian states, at different times, and covering different areas. And in modern times, as applied to the rest of the Balkans, you had the Ottoman Empire, and the regions in the north west were excluded from the Ottoman Empire and belonged to the Habsburg Empire.

    International Courts More on This Story: Select One Samantha Power Samantha Power on Iraq Samantha Power Power on Election 2002 Schama on America as Empire Exploring Foreign Opinion on the Web The question of Saddam Hussein's future is being contemplated by analysts and columnists around the world. Although FindLaw Columnist Phillip Carter outlines four possibilities in an article for CNN , there are currently two leading answers to the question of where Saddam Hussein should be tried, and by whom. The American government has been vocal in favor of trial by the Iraqi Governing Council's tribunal, developed for the purpose of prosecuting former Hussein regime officials. The argument for Iraqi jurisdiction is to put the power in the hands of the Iraqi people, those who have suffered most under Hussein's regime. On the other hand, the fledgling Iraqi tribunal may have difficulty handling the complexities of such an intricate international case, or as one skeptical commentator put it, the Iraqi tribunal "lacks the institutional competence and credibility to conduct such an important trial." Others complain that the U.S. endorsement of this option revolves around the possibility of the death penalty, which a UN-sanctioned tribunal would not permit. Many critical of the American-backed proposal instead favor trial by an International Criminal Tribunal. International human rights groups worry that the United States has selfish motives in mind. One column in the Edinburgh, Scotland EVENING NEWS suggested that such and international tribunal would seem less under American influence, stating that "an international tribunal would inevitably mean Saddam citing, in defence, evidence that his conduct in the Iran-Iraq war was far from opposed by his Arab Gulf neighbours or the US." Another advantage to international trial would be involvement by other countries that have suffered greatly at the hands of Hussein, such as Iran and Kuwait.

    Yugoslavia came into existence as a result of World War I. (The earlier histories of its six component republics are treated separately, under their respective names.) In 1914 only Serbia (which included the present Republic of Macedonia ) and Montenegro were independent states; Croatia Slovenia , and Bosnia and Hercegovina belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy . Yugoslavs (i.e., South Slavs) consisted of five ethnic groups : Serbs, Croats, Slovenes, Macedonians, and Montenegrins : and the Bosnian Muslims. Closely related linguistically, these peoples are separated by historical and cultural factors that ultimately led to the disintegration of Yugoslavia. The country also included Albanian (mainly in Serbia's Kosovo prov.) and Hungarian minorities (mainly in Serbia's
