Interview Mila Vujic

The current situation in our region clearly directed us to the necessity of branding the region for which we, as the initial partners in the initiative received the University of Nis, Regional Chamber of Commerce, municipalities and districts. The idea is recognized as a constructive proposal, as all know what is not good and it is those that offer good solutions.

Being regional coordinator in the region, which includes completely specific made of four different districts is the challenge, and here and why. But at first glance it is clear that the
region in which I am the coordinator includes different environments that require a lot of attention, understanding and desire to be, despite all the problems clearly seen in the future. Remind the official European paradigm follows: United in Diversity. Indeed, in conditions of extremely multicultural, and underdeveloped liberal-democratic environment, in which today place integration processes in the south of Serbia, the adoption of this paradigm as a philosophical basis for the implementation of European ideas on this and not only in this area, is the condition of all conditions.

But if on the level of Europe we can say that identity has a dual nature: one official and one unofficial, then it certainly can be applied and to the region in which I am the regional coordinator. Brussels, namely, the nature of identity based on the code of high value - an instrument for the expansion of integration.
To pay attention to susceptive REGION:

The second identity is based on the cultural connection between European nations - and that is the basis for deepening integration. The first is the integrity of the future, the second is time. The combination of both can be a powerful instrument of integration everywhere in Europe.
Brussels, namely, the nature of identity based on the code of high value - an instrument for the expansion of integration. The second identity is based on the cultural connection between European nations - and that is the basis for deepening integration. The first is the integrity of the future, the second is time. The combination of both can be a powerful instrument of integration everywhere in Europe.



This reminded me of the set in Salzburg, birthplace of Mozart, where the three hundred and European intellectuals, artists and politicians discussed the topic of European identity and the very interesting exposure to the Prime Minister Dominic de France Vilpen, that it seems to me indicative of possible new visionary Europe.
  
This follow-up in the context of the problem of identity high development Europe still can not be mechanically transferred to fully development area, which unfortunately have identical problem, and is located in the very bad position. All should be added and that it is a relatively risky area in which the Presevo valley, which is faced with a group of problems that contribute to increased economic insecurity and political instability. The fact is that the sensitive area residents faced with neglected economy, high unemployment and poor administration. All should be added and the media that podgrevaju unrest and support the misconceptions that are relevant to the political options, completely unaware that they have a job with frustrirana and potentially variable population.
 
Let’s try to perceive the causes of political instability, we will find out that they lie in the problems of limited access to power and resources, social exclusion, long-term neglect by the national government and the limited economic opportunities.

The fact is that the sensitive area residents faced with neglected economy, high unemployment and poor administration. All should be added and the media that amplifies unrest and support the misconceptions that are relevant to the political options, completely unaware that they have a job with frustrated and potentially variable population. Finally, and uncertainty about the solution of the status of Kosovo also put the region in the state of insecurity, and makes people nervous and not interested to invest in your future. I’ll paraphrase inhabitants of this area who think that’s insane making progress in joint work when every short - term instability may cancel the progress and leave permanent scars.

The question is why in this area proscribed idea of European integration is superfluous.

Toplica District, in the form of something milder meets with almost identical problems and tensions within the local population and displaced persons. And there is the present Reinforced schism in the political options and inappropriate behavior of those who consider themselves as elite reform, and not conceal contempt of the same people who should change. Behold base for the encouragement of those whose opinion of Serbia should be balsa med now, and now would not collapse in even more. Both are because nausea in the stomach of the poor people is a consequence of apathy.

It is better, but not good enough and the situation is in the low as well Pirot district. For the truth will, somehow it is easier, although some bad perspective here and contribute to both sides, and even non-governmental sector, which somehow closed and his exclusive the rights of all that has prefix EU. Such precisely define the dose for the implementation of the European attitude and resource spent time with the explanation: "No run, hold on, not running ..." It sent young people hope, not leaving the area or leaving it, but only on condition "does not ".From the point of statistics, there is nothing to be said. And all this is from the fear that someone does not order revival.

Each of you who allow themselves the luxury to take time and read this text will think that this region hopeless case and probably blame me for causing depression.. Please I do not accuse me Here's why: this is just a consequence of closing the eyes and ears for the core problems of the region. Anecdote that occurred while having a cup of coffee with an intellectual this is the end of this. I come honestly angry because, in my humble opinion unprintable conduct the current events in the city of Nis, in which the actors were just as you spill wisdom (in fact dark), and free start a debate and I'm not the village for that ...   Toplica District, in the form of something milder meets with almost identical problems and tensions within the local population and displaced persons, as in the Presevo valley. It is better, but not good enough and the situation is in the low as well Pirot district. EU. For the truth will, somehow it is easier, although some bad perspective here and contribute to both sides, and even non-governmental sector, which somehow closed and his exclusive the rights of all that has prefix EU.

For a moment you should have seen how old is intellectuals got down to work. "This is my son so well-coordinated team ...” Hey, there are people who know to think ..." "Watch out now, while 'beat' other them, pretending to offer the hand of salvation ...", "While you think that your, befallen have purchased or gone abroad (emigration )..." and finally" This is called the lobotomy, and half a century, resistant team, not what ... "

Do I need to say how many days I was in depression after this coffee? Inside all is revealed in the following questions: Why are people in this region more temperamental? Why is the kiss of the greet civilization heritage of these areas? Where form so close to me? How we were to visit the house for neglected children? Those who were understood the emotions that live over in such a meeting.

I came to the causes of these up samples consequences. If you view things you disapprove them and you will find lots of love and understanding for the sometimes awkwardly, rough and aggressive, even inadmissible reactions of the inhabitants of this area They seek only the attention, understanding, trust and the chance to do something for them. If you allow yourself a way of observing the situation, with the courage to meet his country to the like, all this will not scare and signs of what you do. The first step of this dismissal "Gordy’s node" lies in the understanding accompanying decentralization and equal regional development. The clear vision of how the region should look in the next 10 to 15 years. The sincere answer to the question that I want to live in a country that is equally developed, or will allow it to reduce the economic focus and the region of Belgrade, hiding in the future development. Who is that all economic power is concentrated in the capital? Belgrade is not safe, and even less is good for other areas.

The previous approach to the problem is lay waste a large part of the territory of Serbia in any way.. European integration must look primarily as an internal matter of our country. The principle of bottom up and have now applied immediately without any destructive "but”.... Each positive experience is welcome, each person with the characteristics of strategy, the leaders with a clear vision, creative and valuable is welcome, and anyone who thinks his head, or thinks that lobotomy is not consistently implemented. Because those who believe that the time is behind us the basic codes consumer values, not despair and believe, can not be portrait something that is a part of you and I is your existence.

With the motto of perfection in simplicity, we have initiated the creation of a vision of development in the region. After a large number of professional sessions and round tables on which we had for our guests and experts from the EU, the vision of completely natural is imposed on the basis of facts from the field experience and good practice of regionalism in the EU. Basis of principles based on the Treaty of Maastricht, Semite adopted after the European Council in December 1991. Years, by which the regional and local institutions allowed independent institutional synergy in the EU. The principle features seasonable consideration of the consequences of the planned EU legal acts by the Union of citizens, municipalities and regions, as the implementation of the principles of subsidiary and closeness with the citizens, created with the aim of providing stronger support for the decisions that are dons at the level of the EU.

Regional interests are education, culture, health, trans-network, as well as economic and social harmony. Committee of the region has a role unifying link between citizens and EU institutions, and takes on the function of the bridge during the meetings of its members with regional and communal representatives from countries of Central and Eastern Europe, from the candidates for admission to the Union. Have we forgotten: the European integration of the schools in which it is allowed Rewrite!

The fact is that we are sometimes too self-critical is the first visible in that it is almost every foreigner who is usually reluctant had visited this coasts was delighted them. Yet, we are reluctant to visit almost all, and this reluctance is based on the media rather bad picture about us in the world. All of these activities as well as the current situation in our region clearly directed us to the necessity of branding the region for which we, as initial partners in the initiative received the University of Nis, Regional Chamber of Commerce, municipalities and districts.. The idea is recognized as a constructive proposal, as all know what is not good and it is those that offer good solutions.

As this is a complex job and can not be considered as a liability only political or educational, cultural or public sector, on the need to work together and all must be equal in this work.. This task requires strategy, creativity and leadership as the three imperatives, as well as the realization of that branding is not reduced to the set of ads, but the way of life through action, infrastructure, investment and political changes. Comprehension of the essence of the task and involvement of all segments of the region, making the motor constructive energy that leads to the capacity of integrating, insisting on the exchange of ideas and leads primarily active teamwork.

And finishing with the good old motto: If you want to do something, you will find a solution, if you do not want, you will find an excuse.
