Podcasts about croat

Setting aside the twist at the end, Dead City manages to brilliantly illustrate the mental and physical toll of failure, loss, and, frankly, existence in The Walking Dead Universe. Negan's Survivors Guilt, Maggie Rhee's exhaustion, and the absence of The Croat's raison d'être. So how/why do they go on?

Be careful what you wish for: when you get it, you might realize you never really wanted it to begin with. Negan's & The Croat's liberation? Maggie Rhee's & Hershel Rhee's safety? Pearlie Armstrong's / New Babylon Federation's methane? Ginny's Revenge?

We get back on track with episode 6 of Dead City. Negan and The Croat deal with the fallout of […]

An actor is very fortunate to have a multi-season run on a series. An actor is even more fortunate to get to see a series through to its natural conclusion. Lauren Cohan went above and beyond that with her Walking Dead journey. Not only did she play Maggie in over 100 episodes of the main series, but then she got to go on to headline a spin-off series opposite Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and that spin-off series earned her her very first executive producing credit and now her very first directing credit as well. She's a key component of one of the biggest television empires ever created, and she's making the most of the opportunities that franchise affords her - opportunities she's earned.The Walking Dead: Dead City picks up a number of years after the events of the main series. When Hershel (Logan Kim) is kidnapped by the Croat (Željko Ivanek) and taken to Manhattan, Maggie must turn to Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) for help. While Maggie does manage to make it off the island with Hershel, Negan is pressured to remain by The Dama (Lisa Emery). Season 2 kicks off about a year later with the New Babylon Federation conscripting the residents of The Bricks to head into Manhattan for an expeditionary mission tied to their agenda to ultimately retake it. Maggie agrees to go, but only if no one else from her community is forced to do the same. So back to Manhattan she goes, along with a stubborn Ginny (Mahina Napoleon) and a stowaway Hershel.After powering through five episodes of Season 2 as an executive producer and playing Maggie trying to survive yet another perilous mission in the Big Apple, the time has some for Cohan to put on yet another hat. With the release of Season 2, Episode 6, “Bridge Partners Are Hard to Come by These Days,” she is officially a director. In celebration of the milestone achievement, Cohan joined me for a Collider Ladies Night conversation to discuss her early days on The Walking Dead, her experience advocating for herself when her initial series regular contract concluded, how she approached stepping into the executive producer role with Dead City, and how she felt about taking on an extremely ambitious episode for her very first venture as a director. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Negan has understood, for a little while now, that the only way out is through. That also means revisiting/learning from your own history which, fortunately for him, The Croat wasn't around long enough to experience. Ginny & Hershel Rhee are spared a hard lesson about the price of ambition: there's always more than a choice between two actions.

This episode says, "Hey buddy! How `bout a mouth full-a Bruegel?" The concept of "rules" is repeated: we all follow some. The Croat is slowly falling from The Dama's grace while Ginny's purpose has become clear. So where does that leave Hershel Rhee and Maggie Rhee?

Ministerul de externe al Serbiei cere lămuriri privind înțelegerea de colaborare politico militară între Croația, Albania și Kosovo. „Dacă acest acord nu este îndreptat împotriva nimănui, așa cum susțin ei, atunci solicităm o explicație cu privire la excluderea Serbiei de la orice negocieri privind securitatea colectivă în regiune” - declară  MAE sârbesc. „Pactul militar împotriva Serbiei: ce înseamnă pentru țara și regiunea noastră acordul de colaborare în domeniul apărării dintre Croația, Albania și așa-zisul Kosovo,” titrează novosti.rs.„Documentul pe care Croația și Albania l-au semnat la Tirana cu așa-zisul Kosovo privind colaborarea în domeniul apărării constituie un precedent periculos care ar putea pune în pericol relațiile și pacea în regiune, în condițiile în care așa-zisul Kosovo nu este recunoscut de majoritatea membrilor ONU și care, conform oricărui cadru internațional, nu ar trebui să aibă forțe armate. Bulgaria a primit și ea invitația de a adera la acest pact politico-militar. Această inițiativă vine într-un moment de schimbări majore la nivel global marcat de o schimbare politică majoră a lui Trump în ceea ce privește conflictul ucraineno-rus, într-un moment de diviziuni în Europa, precum și pe fondul unei crize sociale și politice care persistă de câteva luni în Serbia,” scrie publicația.Ministerul de Externe mai susține că mesajul politic transmis Belgradului este evident și subliniază că memorandumul nu este rezultatul unei cooperări aleatorii, ci „o strategie direcționată care vizează izolarea Serbiei și consolidarea structurilor paramilitare din provincia sudică a Serbiei, contrar dreptului internațional și Rezoluției 1244 a Consiliului de Securitate al ONU”.„Dacă acest acord nu este îndreptat împotriva nimănui, așa cum susțin ei, atunci solicităm o explicație cu privire la excluderea Serbiei de la orice negocieri privind securitatea colectivă în regiune - declară  Ministerului Afacerilor Externe sârbesc. După 15 martie, întrebarea de un milion de dolari și un dinar, este următoarea: ce urmează în Serbia?Iată titlul unui articol din citim învreme.com. „Întrebarea ce urmează este cu adevărat crucială, dar cred că în principal președintele statului a fost preocupat de asta”, a declarat politologul Dejan Bursać pentru Vreme. „(Aleksandar Vučić, n.r) a fost cel care a spus că totul se va termina pe 15 martie și că viața în Serbia se va relua normal de luni, 17 martie”.Dar  lucrurile nu s-au petrecut așa. Societatea civilă investighează ceea ce numește atac cu un tun sonor asupra manifestanților.„Astfel, pe lângă ancheta privind prăbușirea acoperișului gării din Novi Sad apare o nouă întrebare: ce s-a întâmplat sâmbătă seara?”Dejan Bursać explică că acest nou proces reprezintă o problemă uriașă pentru sistemul de stat, deoarece ar putea duce la o nouă scădere a încrederii în rândul alegătorilor partidului politic aflat în prezent la putere în Serbia.„Vučić se bazează pe cele două milioane de alegători ai săi loiali pentru a câștiga alegerile, știind că în Serbia nu votează niciodată mai mult de 3,8 milioane de oameni”, adaugă Bursać. "Aceștia sunt în principal alegători mai în vârstă care au trecut prin diverse crize în anii 90 și 2000 și care apreciază stabilitatea pe care le-o oferă Vučić. Dar dacă această stabilitate dispare, așa cum este cazul de mai bine de patru luni, asta pune probleme. Ceasul bate pentru el, nu pentru studenți". BERD negociază un împrumut pentru o autostradă și anunță noi investiții  în MuntenegruBanca Europeană pentru Reconstrucție și Dezvoltare negociază cu Guvernul privind condițiile de creditare pentru construcția celui de-al doilea tronson al autostrăzii de la Mateševo ​​​​– Andrijevica, anunță vicepreședintele BERD, Mateo Patrone, potrivit căruia proiectul va fi analizat în iunie de Consiliul de Administrație al băncii, relatează rtcg.me.Banca Europeană pentru Reconstrucție și Dezvoltare a investit anul trecut 104 milioane de euro în nouă proiecte în Muntenegru.

Not the welcome we expectedWhen your tour guide is an assassin, what can go wrong?By FinalStand. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.You can do wrong while trying to do right.FlashbackAlal's 'milk of human kindness' had finally run dry as the Visigoths sacked his Roman villa. While looters ran off with his latest trappings of wealth, and deserted by his servants and his slaves, Grandpa decided that he was tired of fucking around with the Human Race. He felt they were simply too stupid, venal and weak to make any positive, lasting changes in the world.Alal decided that he was going to make the key choices for them. Fuck free will. Fuck letting the vermin that floated to the top of the cesspool destroy everything good in the world, as he had witnessed them doing time and time again. He had lost count of the monuments destroyed, histories of peoples forgotten and benefits to mankind burned away by barbarism and ignorance.By the fading light of August the 26th, 410 CE, Alal found himself sitting back in the pergola (a sort of mini-gazebo) in his rear gardens, drinking through several amphora of wine all the while having a deep philosophical debate with the several dozen very dead Goths decorating his environs.As three or four looters would enter the garden, he would kill them. And then three or four more would show up looking for the earlier group,, on and on. This reinforced Alal's belief that something drastic had to be done. He seriously considered going to the coast, getting a ship and five solid stone anchors. He'd sail out two days, maybe three, wrap himself in the anchors and jump overboard.The problem, as he saw it, was that given a few decades, the ropes would rot and he'd bob to the surface to see again that none of the fundamentals had changed. Further complicating his current thinking was that every time he came close to throwing in the cosmic towel, some more GOD DAMN GOTHS would come around, calling for their buddies, the dead ones. Somewhere around noon on August the 27th, Alal vowed that he was tired of this shit.Right on cue, around twenty Goths came strolling through the rear of his villa and soaked up the carnage out back. Fifty-two of their brethren were in various states of dismemberment and defilement (Alal had been, as usual, angry). They saw this dark-skinned Roman and rightly asked 'where's the army that killed these fellows?' He walked up to them in his wine-splashed toga."Are you the one in charge?" he asked the meanest looking Visigoth in passible Goth."I am," the leader responded. With lightning speed, he killed the man with his own sword. The Germans weren't sure what to make of that, it had happened so fast."You can join me," Alal indicated himself, "or you can join him," he indicated the corpse of their former leader. He had his new band of followers and the rest was Illuminati history.End FlashbackFor me, this meant more to me than living with the memories of a very bitter, driven and pitiless man. Alal was essentially the anti-me. It gave me chills to realize that all of Alal's gifts were bestowed on me with a purpose. I knew it was part of his greater plan. Normally, to end-run an evil genius, you just find him and kill him. Not only would Alal not stay dead, I now knew how well he could fight.I knew only four people who might be in his league, and I wasn't one of them. Of the four, Sakuniyas wasn't likely to help Pamela, Saint Marie and Elsa get the job done. That meant I had to rev up the deception engine to comfort my Aunts with hope, while dispelling the knowledge of how little they mattered to their sire. Almost as bad, I had to ignore what horribly people they were while extending that portion of my soul.It was with some relief that I hugged, kissed, and forcefully separated myself from the Aunts in Dublin. We were going on to Budapest's Ferenc Liszt International Airport. My next action was to make my request to Selena for a contract with the Ghost Tigers to defend Hana when she arrived in Russia. (Of the three 9 Clan Assassin-Babes, Selena was the least impressed with me.) She informed me that the Ghost Tigers didn't do bodyguard work. I still wanted her to relay my request, so she relented. After that, I passed out.We left Dublin around 9:30 am Friday morning and landed in Budapest at 1:45 pm., still Friday. As Rachel rousted me so I could grab a quick shower before touchdown, I was gifted with the misconceptions of my fellow travelers:To put it nicely, Riki thought I was somewhat revolting, Virginia was disturbed and Chaz had lowered his opinion of my moral character. It was the incest thing. Vincent being polite was a pleasant surprise, Delilah's camaraderie less so and Odette was peaches with my most recent sexcapades. She was far too good to me. The Amazons uniformly didn't give a crap."So, is there going to be any other bizarre behavior we should be prepared for?" Riki sat down next to me as I was drying my hair. I was back to my 'jeans, t-shirt and wind-breaker' style."Fine, " I said loudly. "It is really none of your business what I did with and to my mother's clones. Yes, they are all clones of my mother, who died when I was seven." A lie."They are also the genetic creations of my grandfather, also known by many as Cáel O'Shea. They are sterile, they are wickedly evil, and two weeks ago I didn't know they existed. I do have a real aunt in Maryland. She's my Father's sister and is not part of the menagerie. Oh yeah, my grandpa is currently a disembodied spirit, back from the Netherworld and looking for a body to take over, if he hasn't found one already," I added."He was born roughly five thousand years ago, was cursed by an ancient Sumerian Goddess such that he can never just die and stay dead. I have his memories running around my head, which, along with denying me a good night's sleep, allows me to speak an assortment of languages, use virtually every weapon built before 1970 and know that he is a vicious criminal mastermind the likes of which you've never imagined outside of fiction.How does that sound, Riki? Shall I get more bizarre? Trust me, I can," I regarded her evenly. She was speechless, but not out of awe. No, she was certain that I was completely unhinged."Everyone who believes Cáel, raise their hand," Odette demanded. Her hand went up. Odette and the Amazons agreeing was expected by the outsiders. Delilah and Virginia joining in was not."Captain Fairchild?" Colour Sgt. Chaz Tomorrow requested clarification."You've all seen those five O'Shea's that left the plane in Ireland. Barring some cosmetic changes, they were the exact same woman. You can either go with Sean Connery's Tak-ne creating a female clone army, or you can believe there is an otherworldly plastic surgeon altering a cadre of super-rich bitches to all look alike," Delilah, who was a captain of something, put out there."Who in the Hell is Tak-ne?" Riki mumbled."Duh," I poked the State Department lassie. "Connor MacLeod's Egyptian mentor in Highlander, the original movie and in the less than stellar sequel, Highlander: The Quickening"."You are mistaken. Connery was that Spanish guy," Riki poked me back."Actually, the relevant quote is: 'I am Juan Sánchez Villalobos Ramírez, Chief metallurgist to King Charles V of Spain. And I'm at your service'," Vincent regaled us with his movie trivia. "He later reveals that he was born Tak-ne in Egypt in the 9th century BCE. Also, his Spanish name makes no sense, he has one too many surnames.""Agent Loire, I am beginning to find intelligent men to be attractive," Charlotte said."Umm, thank you," Vincent responded warily."This might be a good point to get something clear," Chaz inquired. "Mr. Nyilas, whose side are you on? It appears to be rather complicated.""Okay, Chaz, call me Cáel. Calling me Mr. Nyilas makes me miss my dad. I can also be addressed as Cáel 'Wakko' Ishara, Head of House Ishara of the First Twenty Houses of the Amazon Host. Or, you can call me what the Great Khan does, Magyarorszag es Erdely Hercege. Finally, those who love me, or find me amusing, may call me Fehér mén."Selena's snort indicated she'd failed to hide her amusement at my presumptiveness, both titular and physically."Do you want to explain what's so amusing?" Riki looked over to the Black Hand assassin."Your job should be exceptionally easy now," Selena mocked me, "Prince of Hungry and Transylvania, or do you prefer 'White Stud'?""Laugh while you can, Monkey-Girl," I sneered. "The guy currently making a run at erasing seven hundred years of Asian history gave me that title. As for Fehér mén, that means 'White Stallion' and is symbolic of my ties to House Epona, not a phallic reference." Riki's look had gone from disgust, to anger (because she thought she was being played) and lastly, to shock."No," I interpreted her fear. "I am not here as some vanguard to unite the Magyar people to their cultural kinfolk in Central Asia. If you know your Central European history, you might recall that the Mongols devastated my homeland. For the next 450 years, the Turks were unwelcome visitors, conquerors and overlords. My princely status is a pat on the head for a job well done and nothing more.""What job did you do?" Riki prodded."I saved a man's life," I looked pained to admit. She didn't get it."It must have been a major VIPs life," Chaz suggested."You can say that," Pamela nodded. "End of discussion time too."At Ferenc Liszt International, we were diverted to a private hangar once more, courtesy of the Republic of Ireland's diplomatic umbrella. Three grey Ford Focuses and a white panel truck advertising a furniture repair store awaited us. Security issues were immediately obvious. They wanted to separate us (in the Fords) from most of our luggage (in the truck).The five guy welcoming party hid under the cloak of 'don't speak any language you claim to speak' and Selena was of zip help. So, I spoke to them in Hungarian. They glanced my way, but didn't respond. Serbian? Nope. Romanian? Nope."Bows and doves," I commanded.That translated rather logically as 'guns/bows' and 'phones/doves'. Out came our pistols. The only Black Hand to react fast enough was Selena and Pamela had her covered. The Amazons were aiming at the locals while Delilah and Chaz had their weapons out and scanning. Vincent and Virginia hadn't been fast enough, this time. They also didn't have guns pointed at them.The lead BH flunky began talking calmly in German, heavily Slavic accented German."What do you think you are doing?" he inquired of me, in German."Disarming you, ya Moron," I grumbled. Then added in Hittite; "Go", and in my Amazons went to very roughly search, disarm and de-phone our not so friendly friends."Alright, gather up your luggage," I called out to my group. "We are walking to town." That wasn't truly accurate. There was a metro associated with the airport, a kilometer away max. Our guides didn't speak English so they were rather surprised when the bags came out of the truck and were distributed to their owners. Riki Martin and Odette were in some trouble.Girls and 'only packing the necessities', Well, we had some diplomatic lumber to toss at the security services, Vincent had web-searched our location and the route we needed to take to the metro, and Delilah had purchased week-long public transport passes for the group. Only when we started marching out of the hangar did the BH comprehend the totality of their error.The five guys in the hangar were chattering away, in Hungarian, and Selena was peeved."You are upsetting my superiors by blatantly disrespecting their courtesy," she reminded me. "They have guaranteed your safety.""Less than a day has passed since the shootout in London, Selena," I countered."This is the Black Hand's backyard," Selena persisted, "not London.""So, you are only going to help us if we do stupid shit we wouldn't do, even on our own home ground, is that it?" I chuckled. "Sweet," then, to my people, "I guess we are on our own."The airport security guards didn't know what to make of our group of over-worked Sherpa, but the US State department and the RoI (Republic of Ireland) vouched for us, so they let us pass.We hadn't taken the cars and the truck because that would have been theft. The confiscated guns and phones had been disassembled and tossed into a large iron drum of used aviation lubricant. Odette began shopping around for hotel reservations (I was carrying most of her gear). She was the logical choice because she sounded the most human of the bunch.Selena called her people back, explained the fuck up and engaged in a mutual ass-chewing that spilled over a half-dozen languages and ended up with Dick-head, the local BH chieftain providing us with quarters that would turn a blind eye to our arsenal. With that address in mind, we made for the bowels of modern Budapest.Dutifully, Riki contacted the US Embassy to Hungary's CIA mission head and Chargé D' Affaires, a.i., updating them on our arrival and movements. At the last moment, I had Riki relay the wrong address, on a paranoid hunch. I was right to be paranoid except I was looking in the wrong direction.We had just disembarked at the Kőbánya-Kispest M3 station when we walked into the rolling ambush. A 'rolling ambush' is like a meeting engagement, the difference being that one side (ours) is on the move, not knowing it is being hunted while the other side (our attackers) was rushing to catch up with us, not knowing where along the path they would find us.As we preparing to transition from the station to the attached terminal, looking for the bus line that would connect us to the BH safe house in the Kőbánya (X) District, our attackers were dismounting their vehicles from across the street as well as to our left and right. They were dressed like cops. Had they been armed like cops,"Oh look," I snickered to Pamela, "I see a whole bunch of heavily armed people coming our way.""Good for you," Pamela muttered. "Your eyes are still working.""Do you think they are here to raise me up on their shields and proclaim me 'Prince'?" I joked."I think they are here to kill us," Pamela grinned."I prefer to think positively," I grinned back."I am positive they are here to kill us," Pamela laughed. It had to be our relaxed demeanor that confused them.Had we been the droids they were looking for, we wouldn't have been chatting in the open with our bags in our hands. That would have made us crazy, and they would have been right. We were crazy alright and there was a method to our madness. It was mid-afternoon, yet there were plenty of average Hungarians wandering about.Sure, they saw the 'special cops' closing in. They didn't see the upcoming shoot-out because that was plain nuts. A gun battle in a modern metropolis in broad daylight? London yesterday was an aberration, not the new normal. Our impromptu plan was to let the killers get as close as possible to limit the collateral damage.This wasn't classic Amazon training. It was a concession to allies who did care about civilians killed in the cross-fire. The oncoming hit squad was finally putting faces to targets when Odette broke the calm before the storm. All she did was squeak when Vincent pushed her behind a kiosk. Riki took Virginia shifting her to cover in silence.Delilah took off at a dead-run to the south-east. They were raising their shotguns and assault rifles. We were drawing our pistols. Normally this would have been an unequal match, except that in the time period where, in their eyes, we had gone from bystanders to targets, they'd also covered a good deal of ground, to the point that they were out in the open while my fighting band was in close proximity to all kinds of cover.It started out as eighteen to twelve. Pamela, Chaz and Selena quickly cut down those odd by five. Me? I didn't try to shoot and run at the same time, so I made it to cover and was stuck there by our opponents use of fully-automatic fire.My lack of martial prowess could be forgiven by the reality I was the one they were trying to off. My greatest contribution to this skirmish was tossing my SPAS-12 to Chaz so he could use something more than his standard military issue Glock-17. I had barely gotten Chaz's appreciative nod when two grenades went off in close proximity to me.At first, I heard and felt nothing. My eyes were having trouble focusing. When my limbs began to orient themselves, I had to fight down the instinct to move. I was lying down, which was far safer than staggering around in the middle of this hail of lead. The twin grenades turned out to be their second and very fatal mistake on this mission.The first had been their delay in identifying my group. The second, using the stun grenades, did put me, Pamela and Selena out of commission temporarily. But their mistake was having misplaced my six Amazons in this mess they had created. They did have thirteen shooters versus Chaz, Virginia and Vincent. They rushed our position using the classic advance while firing rote.Two meters from me, the six Amazons revealed themselves with five P-90's and one big-ass bow. Four escaped the kill zone only to find themselves flanked by Delilah. Her .480, combined with their confusion, finished off the survivors. That wasn't the end of it. We still had to effect our get-away.I was still getting my head on straight as the ladies decided to hotwire some of the deceased men's rides and get us the heck out of Dodge. Recovery brought with it the knowledge that Virginia and Chaz had been shot. Pamela, Selena and me, we had some scrapes and bruises. Everyone else checked out. Mona let us know that she could handle the wounded. They wouldn't be doing jumping jacks for a week or two, but a hospital was not required. On the downside, no one believed that eighteen killers dressed as cops randomly rolled up on our transit point by accident. The only people who knew about our change in travel plans had been the Black Hand. We'd lied to the US.We broke into an abandoned factory to stash the vehicles and make our next plan. Selena was coldly furious. Not only did she come to the same conclusion we had, the Black Hand had set us up to be murdered, we weren't letting her call in. Wiesława and Charlotte kept their guns pointed at her, so low was our level of trust.Chaz was pretty much of the opinion that Selena should be coerced to provide us with the names and locations of the Black Hand involved so that we could do our own 'fact finding tour'. Oddly, none of the Americans asked to be pulled out. Vincent and Riki wanted to let the US Embassy know what had happened, yet were willing to wait until we were secure somewhere first.Rachel was on board with Chaz's idea, with the addendum that they kill every Black Hand they could get their hands on before fleeing the city. They had tried to kill ME after all. I was touched. It was Pamela who put things in perspective.1) The attackers were not Black Hand, they were mercenaries and that pointed a bloody finger at the Condottieri.2) Selena wasn't a fanatic and her life had been in as much danger as anyone else's. She wasn't part of our ambush. Her buddies had tossed her under the bus.3) It would have been far easier to catch us in that convoy they'd tried to stick us with. Caught in pre-planned crossfires and without our heavier weapons, we would have all died.4) Having failed to deliver us to the pre-planned ambush site, the Condottieri had to rush to our metro stop because, the safe house they had prepared for us wouldn't have worked. We had the numbers to allow us take total charge of our security once we were in place. No, gauging our numbers, this traitor had sent the mercs into a straight-up fight they'd just lost.

On 9 November 1993, one of Bosnia's most famous landmarks, the historic bridge in Mostar, was destroyed by Croat guns during the Bosnian war. Built by the Ottomans in the 16th Century, the bridge was a symbol of Bosnia's multicultural past. In 2014, Louise Hidalgo spoke to Eldin Palata, who filmed the destruction of the bridge, and Mirsad Behram, a local journalist.

This week marked the 28th commemoration of the Srebrenica genocide. In this episode, Nihal speaks to Dr. Ermin Sinanović, a political scientist who is an expert on Bosnia and Herzegovina, and is also trained as an Islamic scholar from the International Islamic University of Malaysia. Nihal and Dr. Ermin discussed the state of Muslims in Bosnia after the break up of Yugoslavia, Serbian and Croat aggression against the Bosniak Muslim population, and what the future looks like for Bosnia. They also discussed the moral failing of the United Nations in safeguarding the Bosniak Muslims, and how the Dutch soldiers stationed in Bosnia allowed the genocide to occur. While this was a difficult episode to record, many Muslims either do not know what happened to Bosnian Muslims barely 30 years ago, or they have forgotten. As such, we must continue to keep their memory alive through such discussions. -- Ermin Sinanović is executive director of the Center for Islam in the Contemporary World (CICW) at Shenandoah University, where he is also Scholar in Residence. He holds a MA and PhD in Political Science from Syracuse University, two bachelor's degrees (Islam and Political Science) from the International Islamic University Malaysia, and a master's degree from the International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilization (ISTAC) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Welcome to episode 10 of Islam on the Edges channel of the Maydan Podcast, a project by the Abu Sulayman Center for Global Islamic Studies at George Mason University in Virginia. In this episode, we discuss Prof. Mattson's recent visit to one of the emerging destinations in the Balkans, Bosnia and Herzegovina. With its rich Islamic history, dating back to the Ottoman era and extending to the present, Bosnia has become an important visit site for Muslims from all over the world, but primarily from the Arab Gulf countries, Turkey, and Western Muslims, including from the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Halal tourism, a sub-category of religious tourism, caters to Muslims by providing Muslim-friendly destinations and content, such as prayer spaces, halal food, and Muslim historical sites. According to BBC, “the Muslim travel market is expected to reach $300 billion by 2026.” Bosnia and Herzegovina is an interesting case. According to the 2013 census, Bosnia is barely a majority Muslim country, with just over 50% of population identifying as Muslim. Yet, they are heavily concentrated in the part of the country that hasn't been ethnically cleansed by the Serb and (to a lesser extent) Croat paramilitary forces during the brutal aggression in the 1990s. Combining a rich Ottoman legacy with a more recent secular experience under the communist regime, Bosnia and Herzegovina provides an interesting mix of being situated in Europe and having a considerable Muslim presence and legacy. Prof. Mattson reflects on the ethics of travel, pointing to the huge carbon footpring of air travel. She explains the need for ethical dealing with the environment and the populations one is visiting. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, this is even more sensitive due to the recent memory of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes. Respectful listening and empathy are some of the key elements of the ethics of travel. While sharing her experiences, Prof. Mattson talks about the beauty of Bosnian mosques and their human proportions. She reflects on female prayer spaces in Bosnian mosques that could serve as a good example of inclusion and spirituality. We hope you will enjoy this episode.

In this episode we talk with Tom Croat of Missouri Botanical Garden, a world expert on Aroids and the family Araceae.

Hrvoje Morić, the host and producer of The Geopolitics & Empire Podcast, was my guest on today's show. He was bred between the two worlds of America and his ethnic homeland of Yugoslavia/Croatia, moving back and forth between the two countries. His name literally means “Croat”. He is also a naturalized Mexican, fluent in English/Croato-Serbian/Spanish, and truly a proud citizen of all three nations! In this episode we go deep on what the collapse of FTX means, his scepticism about the crypto markets, CBDCs, the UN and the Lucis Trust - a strange Satan/Light worshipping group who partner with the United Nations. From 2008-2009 Hrvoje obtained a Master of International Relations from the Geneva School of Diplomacy in Switzerland, where he also worked as a staff assistant with the Mission of the Czech Republic to the United Nations. In 2017, under the auspices of Sharon Tennison's “Center for Citizen Initiatives” and together with 30 other American “citizen diplomats”, he visited Russia for three weeks and met with academics, businessmen, citizens, and politicians, including former president Mikhail Gorbachev, to discuss U.S.-Russia relations with the hope of bringing the Russian people's desire for peace to the attention of U.S. citizens and policy makers in Washington in the hopes of staving off Armageddon. https://twitter.com/HrvojePM  https://maajidnawaz.substack.com/p/how-the-collapse-of-sam-bankman-frieds  https://www.tiktok.com/@gritcapital/video/7165591266221133062?is_from_webapp=v1&item_id=7165591266221133062&web_id=7047972562878105093  https://ton.twitter.com/i/ton/data/dm/1591397531849744389/1591397524245721090/zDfdmCse.jpg:small  https://ton.twitter.com/i/ton/data/dm/1591397497141870597/1591397489009385473/KMuQcCV3.jpg:medium  https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/11/breaking-exclusive-tens-billions-transferred-ukraine-using-ftx-crypto-currency-laundered-back-democrats-us/  https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/15/23459268/sam-bankman-fried-ftx-bankruptcy-crypto-lobbying-washington?utm_campaign=theverge&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter  https://web.archive.org/web/20221112234707/https://www.weforum.org/organizations/ftx  https://www.lucistrust.org/  https://thesolitaryreaper.substack.com/p/technocratic-biofascism-in-full-swing  https://ussanews.com/2022/11/15/here-come-programmable-dollars-new-york-fed-and-12-banking-giants-launch-digital-dollar-test/  Guys in the Flag Jackets - https://www.buzzsprout.com/1895712  Check out OpenAudible - https://openaudible.org/  Sign Up For The Chance To Win A Free Copy - https://www.getrevue.co/profile/thejist  HELP ME CROWDFUND MY GAMESTOP BOOK.

My guest today is Dr Jasmin Mujanovic, who is a political scientist and policy specialist in southeast European and international affairs.  He has worked as a scholar, policy analyst, consultant, researcher, and writer in both North America and Europe. Jasmin's academic research concentrates primarily on the politics of contemporary south-eastern Europe, with a particular focus on the politics of the non-EU states of the Western Balkans. He joins me today to discuss the unfolding constitutional crisis in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Some of the topics discussed in Part 1 are: The political system of Bosnia and Herzegovina Embedded tensions in Bosnian politics Political actors in Bosnia and Herzegovina Impact of Serb and Croat nationalism in Bosnia Status of the 2nd of October general elections Irregularities in the election Victory of Pro-Bosnian candidates in the Federation entity Attempts of further sectarian segregation by nationalists Part 2 will be released on Thursday, 27th of October where we do a deep dive into the controversial decision by the High Representative to change the electoral law on the night of the elections. We also explore what this means for Bosnia and Herzegovina more broadly and what role regional and global powers play in the nation's future.   If you like what you've heard, please consider liking and reviewing the show wherever you get your pods.

More than two weeks after the elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina on 2 October, the country's political future remains uncertain. While reformist and moderate candidates have seen success in the run for the country's presidency – a position that is shared between members of the Bosniak, Croat and Serb entities – many of Bosnia's underlying political divisions persist. Causing further dispute was the announcement of significant changes to Bosnia's constitution and electoral system on the night of the election by the country's high representative, Christian Schmidt, which were particularly ill-received by some members of the Bosniak community. Meanwhile, Serb leader Milorad Dodik has faced allegations of vote-rigging in the run for president of the semi-autonomous Republika Srpska leading to a recount of ballots in the region. In this episode of War & Peace, Olga Oliker and Elissa Jobson speak with Marko Prelec, Crisis Group's senior consulting analyst for the Balkans, about what happened at the Bosnian elections, the main dispute between Bosnia's political entities and where the country is headed. They talk about Bosnia's highly complicated election system and why it has been the cause of much friction between members of the Bosniak, Croat and Serb communities in the country. They address the intervention by the high representative on election night and whether this move had any merit despite being highly controversial. They also talk about the impact of the war in Ukraine on Bosnia and how it has affected its prospects for European Union accession. Finally, they assess whether the political divisions in Bosnia and Herzegovina are surmountable and how a potential return to violence in the country can be prevented.

Yugoslavia, a state created in 1919 and recreated from the ashes of war once again in 1945 was a federation of balkan nationalities held together after World War Two by the totalitarian Leninist Josep Tito. The fact that Yugoslavia under his leadership had liberated itself and was not dominated like the rest of Eastern Europe by the Red Army, meant that its Cold War years would be fundamentally different. Yugoslavia was affected by the wave of unrest that afflicted Eastern Europe in 1968, following the crushing of the Prague Spring. The result was the energising of nationalist movements, the most vocal of which was in Croatia, which was eventually crushed by Tito. However, from 1971 to the early 1990s, nationalism, far from being extinguished, became the force that would rip Yugoslavia apart. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/explaininghistory.

The Western Balkans, a region defined in part by not being in the European Union, also contains several countries that were devastated by war in the 1990s. Now it faces new troubles, driven in part by the legacies of the old. Bosnia and Herzegovina is confronted with calls for secession in the autonomous Serb-dominated region, Republika Srpska, as well as the ongoing electoral grievances of its Croat minority. Meanwhile, efforts to resolve Kosovo's dispute with Serbia over its independence have come to a standstill, leaving minority communities on both sides of the border vulnerable.This week on War & Peace, Olga Oliker talks to Marko Prelec, Crisis Group's Consulting Senior Analyst for the Balkans, about why ethnic tensions persist in the region and whether there is any risk of a return to conflict. They discuss the prospects for European integration, asking whether the promise of EU membership remains an effective incentive for resolving these longstanding disputes. They also consider what impact Russia's invasion of Ukraine has had for stability in the Western Balkans, a region where painful memories of war are still very salient today.For more of Crisis Group's analysis, make sure to check out our Balkans regional page and keep an eye out for our upcoming report on the risk of instability in the Western Balkans.

For the last several months there has been talk of another war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is nothing unusual during a general election year in the country. However, this time, it is being fueled by talk of Republika Srpska ceding from the country and Croat nationalist leaders efforts to change the current electoral laws in the country. And then the crisis in Ukraine has many fearing could Bosina and Herzegovina be in the sites of Russia as well. I spoke with the president of the Platform for Progress, Mirsad Hadžikadić, about the ongoing crises within Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as the region. Issues that have been at the forefront of conversations during ongoing town hall meetings across the country.

The internal strife and tension continue to escalate in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Republika Srpska continues to defy the laws of the country, as outlikned in the original Dayton Peace Accords. While at the same time, continues to threaten to secede from the country. The nationalist Croat leaders pursue their efforts to change the current election laws, which would alter how the presidential candidates are elected. And the rumblings of war are echoing loud and clear. In my conversation with Platform for Progress president, Mirsad Hadžikadić, we spoke about the ongoing turmoil.

Tension continues to mount in Bosnia and Herzegovina, just one week after the president of the Platform for Progress, Mirsad Hadžikadić, announced his plans to once again run for president in 2022. There is continued talk of cessation from the leaders of Republika Srpska. Croat leaders are seeking electoral reform that would benefit them, not the will of the people. And, the talk of war resonates in the air, which is typical leading up to ta general election. Hadžikadić and I spoke about the ongoing situation in the country, his concerns, what if anything can be done, as well media coverage following his announcement. 

Davor is both a passionate Croat and a proud Tasmanian. Shortly after he finished his school in Zadar, then in the Former Republic of Yugoslavia, his family decided to move to Australia, via Italy. Like many young migrants, Davor was able to adjust to the initial culture shock relatively quickly and from a fairly young age became involved in different activities with the local Croatian community, starting with the local Croatian football (soccer) club not just as a player but also helping with administration. Davor has also spent many years as a broadcaster on local Croatian-language radio, which has received national recognition, and has a lot of knowledge and passion for the culture, achievements and history of his country of birth, as you will hear in this episode.

Talk of cessation by the Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina continues to heat up at the same time leaders of the Croat nationalist party press for changes in the election laws of the country. A move considered by many that would take the country even further away from any semblance of democracy. “Troubling times” is how the president of the Platform for Progress, Mirsad Hadžikadić, describes the current situation. During our weekly conversation, Hadžikadić spoke about the most recent crisis confronting the country and his growing concerns about how the international community has decided to address the situation.

Welcome to our Big Interview Icons series where we shine a light on a legend whose name has lit up some of the conversations I've had with my guests over the years. This episode focuses on Luka Modric.Former Tottenham colleague Robbie Keane admired the unassuming Luka's particular courage: his willingness to take the ball under any circumstances.I interviewed John McGinn ahead of Euro 2020, and when asked who was the forthcoming opponent he would most like to swap shirts with, Scotland's midfield maestro chose the classy Croat.Slaven Bilic espouses the virtues of having an independent Croatian football league to help develop younger players – but he says Modric would have made it anyway.Lastly, Rafael van der Vaart talks about joining the fantastic, attacking Spurs side Harry Redknapp had assembled in 2010, for which Luka was the midfield fulcrum.

Bosnia was the site of Europe's worst conflict Europe since the Second World War ended. Fighting there in the 1990s ended up killing around a hundred thousand people. Bosnian Serbs were pitted against Croats, and Muslim so-called Bosniaks. This was an old-fashioned battle for territory, and it only ended when a compromise was reached – that Bosnia would remain one country, but with two regions each having a certain degree of autonomy. There would be one, predominantly Serb region, and another joint Croat and Muslim. This was always a fragile solution, a fudge, some said, to ease the country away from bloodshed. But now, bits of that peace deal are beginning to look rather frayed, and some have even spoken of a return to fighting. While few predict war any time soon, Guy Delauney say this is still highly dangerous talk. You can understand why Poles are just a little sensitive about being told what to do by outsiders. Their country has suffered repeated invasion and occupation, and at times, has vanished off the map altogether. There were wild celebrations when Poland was accepted for membership of the European Union back in 2003. This was seen first of all as a mark of respectability, recognition that it had become a modern, free market democracy. But many Poles believed membership of the EU also took the country another step further away from the embrace of Russia to the east, while leaving it closer knit with friendly countries to the west. Today, EU membership remains popular in Poland, but not so the EU itself. The Polish government has promised to defy instructions emanating from Brussels, and indeed is currently facing a fine of one million Euros a day imposed by the European Court of Justice, for refusing to abide by previous rulings. Adam Easton has been looking at what is one of Europe's most intense love-hate relationships. The COP summit on climate change chalked up an achievement this week. Delegates in Glasgow signed an agreement to stop deforestation by 2030, promising they would make attempts to reverse it. This follows decades in which vast swathes of forest have been chopped down, to provide wood, and to open up tracts land for growing crops on, often to feed animals which are then raised to provide meat. But the axe and the chainsaw are not the only threat which trees face. Climate change is already altering the conditions in which they grow, and sometimes with terrible consequences for individual trees and indeed, for the very landscape in which they flourish, as Jenny Hill discovered in Germany. The effects of climate change may be slow and initially barely visible, but sometimes they are all too clear. This summer just past saw record temperatures in parts of Europe, and out of control fires as a consequence. Trees in Greece were burned to a cinder, as one part of the country after another succumbed to the flames. Bethany Bell reported on those fires, and now she has been back to watch people picking up the pieces after this devastation, and also talking to those trying to figure out how to stop it happening again. The Europe of today is very much shaped by its experience of war and political upheaval. Bosnia's conflict was born out of the collapse of Yugoslavia, a nation which itself was created out of the ashes of World War One. The EU was formed as an attempt to ensure that such a Europe-wide conflict would never happen again, and that democracy would become the rule. Even the natural landscape was shaped in part by war, with the need for food security high in people's minds. And yet it remains an open question whether the lessons of this turbulent past have really been learned. A few thousand miles away from his original home in Vienna, Hilary Andersson spoke to a man who witnessed perhaps the worst of Europe's modern history. Lying in hospital, just days from death, he shared his memories of the Nazis, and his fear that the value and fragility of democracy risks being forgotten.

Boris guides TENE through the twists and turns of Montenegrin nationalism and fascist collaboration in the 20th century. He tells how politician and general Krsto Popović turned rebel in support of Montenegrin King Nikola, only to be exiled himself in Italy, forms the inept Lovćen Brigade for the fascists. Boris introduces quisling leader of the occupied Montenegrin state, Sekula Drljević and his ideological inspiration, Savić Marković Štedimlija to our collection of fascist weirdos and their bizarre race theory transforming Montenegrins from a "special kind of Serb" into a "special kind of Croat". The boys follow the convoluted attempts of Mussolini and Hitler to get shit under control by, in the latter case, combining Montenegrin super Serbian Četniks with Montenegrin Serbian-hating Ustaša only to get stomped by the partisans and devour each other. Boris and Rey remind the listener that the legacy of these misadventures which pitted family members against each other in opposing nationalist identities continues to guide politics in Montenegro today. This is The Empire Never Ended, the Antifascist Amerikanski-Balkan podcast about (neo) fascist terror, the (deep) state and the alienation, nihilism and desperation produced by the capitalist system.

*) Countries bar arrivals from UK over new virus strain A slew of countries worldwide have banned arrivals from the UK over a new highly infectious coronavirus strain. Among the countries banning arrivals are Turkey, several EU nations, Canada, Chile and Argentina. Scientists first discovered the new variant – which they believe is 70 percent more transmissible – in a patient in September. Experts say the UK mutation is "very unlikely" to be resistant to current vaccines. *) US Congress reaches deal on virus stimulus package US lawmakers have agreed on a nearly $900 billion Covid-19 relief package for millions of Americans. The package includes aid for vaccine distribution and logistics, extra jobless benefits and a new round of $600 stimulus cheques. The much-awaited deal comes after months of partisan debate and finger-pointing as well as last-minute negotiations. *) Ethnic parties are the winner in Bosnia's Mostar Early results of the local election in the Bosnian town of Mostar show most votes going to Croat and Bosniak parties. A coalition of multi-ethnic moderate parties, the BH Bloc, won enough votes to act as a kingmaker in the future 35-member city council. Croat and Bosniak communities in the town have been separated since the end of the civil war in the mid-1990s. *) Abduction of school students foiled in Nigeria Gunmen in Nigeria abducted more than 80 school students on Saturday but the pupils were rescued by security forces soon after. The bandits on Saturday night abducted four people and stolen a dozen cows in Katsina state when they ran into the schoolchildren who were going home. The foiled abduction comes less than two days after the release of 344 schoolboys, who were kidnapped in the same state last week. And finally… *) Denmark to exhume minks culled over coronavirus Four million minks culled in Denmark over a coronavirus strain will be dug up next year to prevent pollution. That’s according to the government who has faced criticism for its management of the "mink crisis". If lawmakers agree, the mink carcasses will be dug up and burned in six months once the risk of infection has completely passed.

In this episode, host Russell Hillier talks to William Ray, veteran of the battle of the Medak Pocket.In 1993, Canadian peace-keepers were sent to the Medak Pocket, with the goal of protecting Serbian civilians from a planned Croatian offensive. What happened next was an intense battle between Canadian and Croat forces. Medak Pocket was Canada's largest battle in the decades between the Korean War and Afghanistan. Yet instead of being thanked for their courage, veterans of the battle were told not to talk about it. As far as the government was concerned, the battle never happened. The One Soldier Podcast studies military history from Canada and around the world, by talking to authors and veterans about their experiences, books and memoirs.

“Crop Production on Heavily Disturbed Soils following Crude Oil Remediation” with Dr. Tom DeSutter and Sam Croat. When an oil spill occurs on land, there are myriad ways to approach cleanup, from adding oxidizers or nutrients to speed natural processes, burning off surface oil, replacing contaminated top soil with top soil from other regions, or even just removing the soil to a landfill. When an oil spill in 2013 contaminated Steve and Patty Jensen’s land with ~860,000 gallons of Bakken crude oil, Dr. Tom DeSutter and then student Sam Croat tested soil mixing and thermal desorption methods, working with the oil companies, landowners, and remediation companies to try to see which methods could best return the Jensen’s land to its original, pre-spill state. Listen in to learn: What are different techniques to cleanup an oil spill How thermal desorption works Who to contact in case of an oil spill How mixing soils can give subsoils the jumpstart they need If you would like more information about this topic, this episode’s paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/agj2.20077 It will be freely available from 17 April to 1 May, 2020.

Mostar is the sixth largest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina and is a focal point for the Platform for Progress because of its rich cultural diversity, which includes large populations of Bosniak and Croat citizens.  The Platform will announce a plan on March 6 that will hopefully restore local elections that have been void there for over 8 years, with the hope that it will serve as a model across the country for other cities, towns and municipalities.  This as the Platform continues its message of inclusivity for all as it seeks to show the path to democracy.  Mirsad and I spoke about the intricacies of dealing with human behavior in order for the process to succeed, as well as a recent trip Geneva Switzerland for an address at the University of Geneva. Prijedlog ključne politike za Grad Mostar trebao bi biti objavljen 6. marta Mostar je šesti grad po veličini u Bosni i Hercegovini i žarišna je tačka Platforme za progres zbog svoje bogate kulturne raznolikosti koja uključuje mnogobrojno bošnjačko i hrvatsko stanovništvo. Platforma će 6. marta objaviti plan kojim će, kako se nada, ponovo uspostaviti lokalne izbore koji su tu poništeni već više od osam godina, uz nadu da će on poslužiti kao model ostalim gradovima i opštinama širom zemlje. Ovo se dešava dok Platforma nastavlja svoju poruku inkluzivnosti za sve, nastojeći pokazati put ka demokratiji. Mirsad i ja smo razgovarali o komplikovanosti bavljenja ljudskim ponašanjem kako bi ovaj proces uspio, kao i o njegovom nedavnom putovanju u Ženevu u Švicarskoj zbog jednog obraćanja na Univerzitetu u Ženevi.  02.03.2020.

ZIFA have announced a new coach, Zdravko Logarušić. Little known on these shores, what does the Croat bring to the table?

Season Two means a new Grand Ramblings minisode interview series: Booze Tues. On our first installment Hilary and Shelby (the twos in Tues obvi) sit down with dietitian, Croatian queen and most importantly their best friend Petra Radman. We talk about her career in the hospital (spoiler, it's not like Greys) and how it was growing up in a Croatian household. 

The King is Dead and the issues between Croat and Serb grow ever larger as football becomes unstable.

With Niko Kovac sent packing from Bayern Munich, the Magisterial crew picks over the wreckage of the Bavarian club and identifies other names in danger of following the Croat on the managerial chopping block.  And following a head-scratcher of a weekend in the Spanish top-flight, where no-one (other than Real Sociedad) capitalized on Barcelona's bad day at the office, the discussion then turns to the loco LaLiga season, before Eric Krakauer and Ray Hudson turn their attention towards this week's Champions League fixtures... and a certain Tom Hanks movie.

Serb and Croat tensions show themselves as politics and football collide in the run up to 1930

1934 In Marseilles, a Bulgarian/Macedonian revolutionary Vlado Chernozemski, associated with Croat terrorists in Hungary and Italy, assassinates King Alexander of Yugoslavia and French Foreign Minister Louis Barthou. The two had been on a tour of European capitals in quest of an alliance against Nazi Germany. The French Foreign Minister Louis Barthou had attempted in 1934 to build an alliance meant to contain Germany consisting of France's allies in Eastern Europe like Yugoslavia together with Italy and the Soviet Union. The long-standing rivalry between Benito Mussolini and King Alexander had complicated Barthou's work as Alexander complained about Italian claims against his country together with support for Hungarian revisionism and the Croat Ustaše terrorist group. During a visit to Belgrade in June 1934, Barthou promised the King that France would pressure Mussolini into signing a treaty under which he would renounce his claims against Yugoslavia. Alexander was skeptical of Barthou's plan, noting that there were hundreds of Ustašhi being sheltered in Italy and it was rumoured that Mussolini had financed an unsuccessful attempt by the Ustaše to assassinate him in December 1933. Mussolini had come to believe that it was only the personality of Alexander that was holding Yugoslavia together and if the King were assassinated, then Yugoslavia would descend into civil war. However, France was Yugoslavia's closest ally and Barthou invited Alexander for a visit to France to sign a Franco-Yugoslav agreement that would allow Barthou to, in his words, "go to Rome with the certainty of success". Chernozemski was able to emerge from the crowd, approach the king's car and leap onto its running board while concealing his pistol in a bouquet of flowers. He shot Alexander repeatedly, hitting him twice, once in the abdomen and the other in the heart; King Alexander died within minutes. The chauffeur—who tried to push Chernozemski off the car—and Alexander's companion in the car, French Foreign Minister Louis Barthou, were also shot. Chernozemski killed the chauffeur, apparently unintentionally. A police officer fired at Chernozemski but missed and fatally wounded Barthou. The chauffeur died almost immediately, with his foot pressed on the brake of the car, providing the opportunity for a photographer outside the car to photograph most of the grisly affair. After shooting a policeman who tried to seize him and inadvertently killing two bystanders, Chernozemski fired his handgun over ten times, killing or wounding a total of 15 people, then attempted to flee the scene but was struck by a slash from an escorting cavalryman's sabre. He then received a non-mortal bullet wound in the head from a nearby police officer, before being savagely beaten by the enraged crowd while the police stood back and watched. Pierre Laval, who succeeded Barthou as foreign minister, wished to continue the rapprochement with Rome, and saw the assassinations in Marseille as an inconvenience that was best forgotten. Both London and Paris made it clear that they regarded Mussolini as a responsible European statesman and in private told Belgrade that under no circumstances would they allow Mussolini to be blamed. In a speech in Northampton on 19 October 1934, the British Foreign Secretary, Sir John Simon, expressed his sympathy to the people of Yugoslavia over the king's assassination while also saying he was convinced by Mussolini's speech in Milan denying his involvement in the assassination. When Yugoslavia made an extradition request to Italy for Pavelić on charges of regicide, the Quai d'Orsay expressed concern that if Pavelić were extradited, he might incriminate Mussolini and were greatly reassured when their counterparts at the Palazzo Chigi stated there was no possibility of Pavelić being extradited. Vlado Chernozemski is considered a hero in Bulgaria today.

The ruling presidential council in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is made up of a Bosniak, Serb and Croat representative, recently came to an agreement indicating the country will not seek membership in NATO or the Europen Union.  Membership that Mirsad Hadzikadic and the Platform for Progress Movement have advocated from the start.  I spoke with Mirsad about this recent development and what he feels this means for the country and the Platform for Progress Movement going forward. Trenutna politička klima u Bosni i Hercegovini donosi pojačan osjećaj hitnosti za pokret Platforma za progres Vladajuće predsjedničko vijeće u Bosni i Hercegovini, koje je sačinjeno od bošnjačkog, srpskog i hrvatskog predstavnika, nedavno je sačinilo sporazum prema kojem ova zemlja neće tražiti članstvo u NATO-u ili Evropskoj uniji. To je članstvo koje Mirsad Hadžikadić i Platforma za progres zagovaraju od samog početka. Razgovarao sam sa Mirsadom o ovim skorijim događanjima i o tome šta on misli da to znači za zemlju i za napredovanje Platforme za progres.  16.08.2019.

A water tower stands tall over the city of Vukovar, still bearing the scars of Croatia's trauma. As Yugoslavia collapses, Croatia stands firm against Serbian aggression, both from Serbia itself and the Serbian-Croats within its borders. Ethnic tension runs at an all time high, and it soon becomes clear to the world this war will not be as quick as Slovenia's Ten-Day War. Both the Croats and Serbs are equally determined to cement their self-preservation, and are equally willing to resort to extreme violence. Aside from the conventional warfare measures, the Croat and Serb forces will resort to the worst methods possible in an effort to achieve their goals in the first examples of ethnic cleansing in Europe since the Second World War. Sadly, the Croatian War of Independence was only a prologue to the horrors we still can't begin to comprehend.   Please note: At almost exactly 1 hour in, the audio messed up, hense why the quality momentarily faulters.   Intro: Sean Murray, Fountain (from Call of Duty: World at War) Outro: Philanthrope, Things Fall Apart

“People who leave their phone off for the first hour of the day are 33% more productive” -Brendon Burchard I just recently heard this idea. I won’t lie, my first thought was ‘BS.’ I’m a typical Croat in the sense that I’m cynical about almost everything the first time I hear it. Thankfully I’ve learned that about myself and I’ve trained myself to try something new things even though I don’t initially believe them. After 2 weeks of doing, all I’m going to tell you is that I think 33% is a bit of an under estimate. Let me explain what I mean. -Dr. K

Former Yugoslavia leaders sign Dayton Peace Accord. After Yugoslavia’s communist dictator Marshal Tito died in 1980, ethnic differences generated chaos. Ethnic and religious factions pitted Albanians, Serbs, Croats, Slovenes, Orthodox Christians, Catholics and Muslims against each other, resulting in three and a half years of civil war marked by ethnic cleansing and 200,000 deaths. Eventually, the leaders of Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia initiated a peace process named after talks that took place in Dayton, Ohio. On December 14, 1995 in Paris, the three leaders signed the Dayton Accord, which pledged thousands of United Nations Peacekeepers to the region to keep Bosnia together, yet with divided federations. The Croat federation held most of the country’s 51 per cent Muslims, while the Serb republic held the remainder of the population. The peace process was paved with conflict and mistrust and complicated by Serbia’s leader, Slobodan Milosevic, attempting to control as much of the former Yugoslavia as possible; he was later prosecuted for war crimes and died in his prison cell in March, 2006. But by 2003, the UN succeeded in transferring powers to local police and military. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Our next guest on This Writing Life podcast is the journalist and novelist Kevin Sullivan. His latest novel, The Longest Winter, is set during the siege of Sarajevo, which began almost twenty-five-years ago to the day in April 1992. Sullivan covered the conflict as a journalist, and almost lost his life in the nearby town of Gornji Vakuf, when the Land Rover he was travelling in hit a landmine. Sullivan began The Longest Winter shortly after, whilst recuperating in Glasgow, but it would take many more years for the final story to be completed. ----more----In Part 1 of our conversation, Sullivan describes the liberal, tolerant Sarajevo that existed before the conflict broke out: '[It] has had a long tradition of creative co-existence among different cultures. Bosnia was in many ways a model for the rest of Europe. They were practicing multi-culturalism long before the rest of Europe.' From here, we moved between The Longest Winter and the political back-drop to the Bosnian war - how Serbian, Croat and Bosniak politicians exploited nationalism to create emnities  Sullivan begins by discussing his work for the International Commission for Missing Persons, that has worked tirelessly to find the thousands murdered during the Srebrenica genocide, for example.

Les croades van suposar un daltabaix en la vida política i guerrera d'Europa sencera. Les expedicions que integraven reis i guerrers de diferents territoris marxaven cap a Terra Santa amb l'objectiu de derrotar els infidels musulmans. Ara bé, aquest no va ser l'únic premi que van aconseguir. L'experiència de guerra i els botins aconseguits farien que en la seva tornada a casa res pogués tornar a ser igual. Analitzem el cas de Gastó de Bearn amb la medievalista i professora de la UAB, Almudena Blasco.

In November 1993, one of Bosnia's most famous landmarks, the old Ottoman bridge in Mostar, was destroyed by Croat guns in the Bosnian war. Built by the Ottomans in the 16th Century, the bridge was a symbol of Bosnia's multicultural past. We talk to Eldin Palata, who filmed the destruction of the bridge; and to local journalist Mirsad Behram about what the bridge meant to the people of Mostar.
