Having spent 20 years at the head of the Humanitarian Law Center (HLC), a NGO working on documenting human rights violations perpetrated during the wars in the former Yugoslavia, Nataša Kandić has stepped down as Executive Director in favour of her deputy, Sandra Orlović. In doing so, she has brought about a generational change in one of the most important NGOs in the region. Such a decision is not common practice in Serbia.
By virtue of its very establishment by the UN Security Council, the Hague Tribunal became a legal fact. Despite opposition from “patriotic forces”, the Republic of Serbia has been cooperating with the Hague Tribunal’s Prosecution, both by handing over (some of the) documents demanded by the court, and by extraditing indicted fugitives and providing security for the witnesses. The acquittals of Gotovina, Mrkač and Haradinaj will not put an end to the cooperation between Serbia’s state authorities and the Hague Tribunal, despite “patriotic” demands.
On Monday December 10th, 2012, namely the International Human Rights Day, the diplomas were awarded to the second generation of the Transitional Justice School students.
Nataša Kandić has become the first laureate of the Kosovo Institute for Peace (KIP) Peace Prize. During the award ceremony held in Prishtina on November 20, 2012, Ramadan Ilazi, the KIP executive director, stated that the accolade is bestowed in recognition of exceptional work on reconciliation in the Balkans.
On December 8, 2012, the Executive Board of the HLC appointed Deputy Director Sandra Orlović as the new Executive Director of the NGO. Marijana Toma, a historian who also “grew up” in the HLC, will assume the duties of the Deputy Director.
