Izveštaj o radu 2008 – 2010. (srpski/engleski jezik) - Evropski pokret ...

Treba pomenuti i orijentaciju Evropskog pokreta
da pomogne u osnivanju i stasavanju
novih nevladinih organizacija. U toj »inkubatorskoj
funkciji« primio je pod svoj krov ili
kišobran mnoge inicijative iz kojih su nastale
značajne organizacije, kao što su: G17, Udruženje
poslovnih žena, Viktimološko društvo,
Generacija 21, Udruženje za kvalitet života,
Transparency International, Preduzetništvo
mladih i mnoge druge.
Pored obilja praktičnih aktivnosti u okviru
svojih mnogih organizacionih formi, Pokret
nikada nije zapostavljao svoju društvenu misiju.
Mi nismo nikad prihvatali, ni ranije ali ni
sada, da se stavi znak jednakosti između kvalifikativa
nevladin i nepolitički. Nikad nismo
pretendovali na nezamenljivu političku ulogu
stranaka, ali nismo ni želeli da ostanemo politički
neutralni, tako da smo u vreme Mioševićevog
režima objektivno bili antivladina
nevladina organizacija. Posebno je to došlo do
izražaja tokom masovnih narodnih i studentskih
protesta protiv krađe lokalnih izbora 1996
-1997. godine.
Međutim, iako su posle 5. oktobra, 2000. godine,
na vlast došli naši dojučerašnji politički
saveznici, naš stav je od početka bio jasan: nemamo
nameru da postanemo nevladina provladina
organizacija, rado ćemo sarađivati sa
državnim organima, ali u ravnopravnom partnerskom
odnosu, ljubomorno čuvajući našu
nezavisnost i održavajući konstruktivnu kritičku
distancu prema vlastima. Stoga smo rekli da
ćemo u odnosu prema vlastima biti konstruktivni
i kooperativni, ali ćemo sačuvati svoju intelektualnu
autonomiju i kritički duh.
Ova knjižica o aktivnosti Evropskog pokreta u
poslednje tri godine uverljivo svedoči koliko je
danas široko i raznovrsno njegovo delovanje u
okviru osnovne misije definisane pre osamnaest
godina: širenje evropske ideje, evropskih
vrednosti, standarda i kriterija, na putu ubrzanog
približavanja porodici ujedinjenih nacija i
građana Evrope.

the international position of Serbia, offering a
strong platform for alternative foreign policy.
It provided the sharpest and the most competent
criticism of Milosevic’s foreign policy.
The European Movement helped establish
new non-governmental organizations, it also
opened the way for many new initiatives under
its umbrella; some of them later became
the G17, the Association of Business Women,
the Victimology Society, Generation 21, the
Association for Quality of Life, Transparency
International, Youth Entrepreneurship and
many others.
Alongside many practical activities, the Movement
(EMinS) has never neglected its social
mission. Non-governmental does not exclude
non-political – was our approach to date. We
have never claimed to play the role of a political
party, but we also did not want to remain
politically neutral; during the Miloševic regime,
we were an anti-governmental and nongovernmental
organization at the same time.
This was particularly obvious in the mass public
and student protests against the theft of the
local elections in 1996/97.
Although October 5 brought our political allies
to power, our position from the outset has remained
clear: we do not intend to become a
pro-governmental non-governmental organization.
We are happy to cooperate with state
authorities, but through equal partnerships,
jealously guarding our independence and
maintaining a constructive critical distance
from any government. Therefore, we will be
constructive and cooperative with the institutions
of government, but keep our intellectual
autonomy and a critical spirit.
This booklet of activities of the European
Movement during the last three years is a
convincing testimony of the broadness and
diversity of EMinS’ work. This work has been
carried out under a mission defined more than
eighteen years ago: the dissemination of European
ideas, European values, standards and
criteria, on an ever-closer route towards the
family of united nations and citizens of Europe.
