Alliance for Historical Dialogue and Accountability (AHDA)

The main aim of the project is to contribute to the development of individual and social processes of dealing with the past in order to build a sustainable peace in Croatia and the region. [...] The Unidentified reveals the names of those responsible for some of the most brutal attacks of the Kosovo war, from those who ordered attacks on villages in the area around the town of Pec during the 1999 war to those who were involved in the removal of victims’ bodies to mass graves at the Batajnica police center near Belgrade in Serbia. [...] On World Peace Day, the Centre for Civic Education and the Coalition for REKOM in Podgorica organized a debate on reconciliation under the theme “Can art contribute to the process of reconciliation in the region?” The film opened the human rights festival Ubrzaj 2016 in Podgorica and at the Belgrade office of YIHR as part of the international programme on Justice Without Reconciliation. [...] The film won the Award for Best Film Editing at the Beldocs International Documentary Film Festival in Belgrade, the Grand Jury Award at the Open City Festival in London, the Critics Award at the Atlántida Film Fest in Spain, the Best Director and Best Screenplay awards at the KineNova Film Festival in Skopje, and the Grand Prix of the festival at the IFF Message to Man in Saint Petersburg, Russia. [...] A report covering the observations of the site visits and the importance and impact of such sites will be produced at the end of the project along with a strategy paper which will function as a roadmap to create the Hrant Dink Site of Memory and Conscience.
