| Documentary "Does Anyone Have A Plan?" |
|
A documentary reflecting the concerns and hopes of Balkan citizens on the eve of crucial talks over the final status of Kosovo is to be screened at the Dvorana Kulturnog Centra in Belgrade on January 25 at 19 hours. Produced by the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN ), and directed by the award-winning film-maker Lode Desmet, the 85-minute documentary - entitled Does Anyone Have A Plan? - focuses on seventeen ordinary people from Kosovo, Serbia and neighbouring countries in the run-up to the negotiations. In the film, the subjects' questions about the implications of the talks - which, it is hoped, will go a long way to finding a solution to the conflict between Serbia and the Kosovo Albanians, and stabilising the region as a whole - are put to important local and international political figures. The latter include EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana, senior US state department official Nicholas Burns, Serbian president Boris Tadic and Kosovo premier Bajram Kosumi. The film is subtitled in English and all local languages. It will be broadcast throughout the region by leading TV stations in January and February. International distribution is also being planned. BIRN held a world premiere of the documentary on January 9 in Front Line Club in London. This project was supported by the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, Political Affairs Division for Human Security.
