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

  • Corruption

    A phenomenon typical among the locals (See). The internationals tend to condemn it pointedly and are involved in it only sporadically and inadvertently but always with the best intentions.  Corruption differs from a project (See) in that  it has a functional infrastructure (See) and very tangible results (See) often decorated with so-called concrete (or plaster) accessories in the form of lions, swans, angels, pseudo-Doric-Ionic-Corinthian silver-plated columns, etc.

from Ubleha for Idiots – An Absolutely non useful Guide for Civil Society Building and Project management for Locals and Internationals in BiH and Beyond by Nebojša Šavija-Valha and Ranko Milanovic-Blank, ALBUM No. 20, 2004, Sarajevo, translated by Marina Vasilj.
