Dear friends of the Peace Academy,

We are hereby announcing that this year's Post-Yugoslav Peace Academy will be held in the beginning of autumn and will have a different format. Due to financial reasons, we were obliged to shorten this year's summer school to three working days and to plan it at a different time.

We will inform you about the dates, courses and means of applying to this year's Post-Yugoslav Peace Academy as soon as possible through our web page www.mirovna-akademija.org, newsletter and Facebook page. We wish you an enjoyable summer.

Greetings from the PAF team!

Ubleha for idiots

  • Izgradnja međuljudskih odnosa

    Eng. Human relation building. One, and very often, the only secure result (See) of an activity (See). Includes a whole string of communication techniques from telling (dirty) jokes, through “ drunken philosophizing” on the injustice in the world to  sexual intercourse in all variations (literary and/or in a figurative sense). It is justified by the fact that there is no peace unless people “normally” intercourse. A kernel of future corruption (See). When thus-established corruption “gets on its feet”, a project (See) is initiated to combat it. Translator's note: Direct translation of the phrase „Human relations building“ into BSC language.
