An instructive little tale of a collective's trip to the Balkans
From Rebelión
At the invitation of the colleagues from Slovenia we went to visit this book fair that has been held since 2003 in the territories known as the Balkans (Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Greece, Slovenia and Romania).
Police Officer In His Criminal Complaint Against Anarchists: “I Was Tripped Up By A Stranger And Then Kicked Two Or Three Times By Another…”
By Ana Horvat, Nova24TV
July 14, 2023
After a horde of anarchists from the Balkan Anarchist Book Fair destroyed private property and assaulted and beat several police officers last Saturday, one of the police officers filed a verbal criminal charge against the attackers. The police officer, who will not be named due to the protection of personal data, stated in his verbal criminal complaint that he had been harmed, and the verbal criminal complaint is, in fact, a proposal for prosecution.

The delegation of the anti-authoritarian movement from Ljubljana that is participating in the Organizational Assembly of BAB2023 have travelled to Sofia (Bulgaria) to support the Anti-Lukov March on the 25th of February. They used this opportunity and visited also Niš (Serbia), Thessaloniki (Greece) and Istanbul (Turkey) to meet comrades from the anarchist movement, establish new contacts, promote BAB2023 and talk about ongoing struggles, international and mutual solidarity.

20 years of Balkan Anarchist Bookfair: Over the walls of nationalism and war!
We are excited to announce that next Balkan Anarchist Bookfair (BAB) will take place from 7th to 9th of July 2023 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. This decision was made by the general assembly of the last BAB that took place between 24th and 26th of June 2022 in Cluj, Romania (you can read the full statement of the assembly here).
Capitalism is driven by the internal logic of ceaseless expansion and endless accumulation of capital. This drives capitalism from one destructive crisis to the next. In the last decade, the crisis has had different names, e.g. economic, migrant, Covid-19, but the reaction of the authorities to these crises is very similar: strengthening of the repressive and control apparatus, militarization, dehumanization, incitement to hatred among people, persecution of social opposition and destruction of human lives. The rulers themselves are aware that they cannot guarantee people with health or security, let alone prosperity, under the existing system. Therefore, they increasingly resort to sheer violence and other authoritarian methods to maintain their power.

Tensions in society are on the rise on daily basis. The epidemic is increasingly revealing the contradictions and cracks of the capitalist system, whose manager - the state - no longer even tries to give the impression that its aim is to reduce the devastating effects of the deadly virus.
