Terraforming supports demands for the rule of law and against corruption in Serbia

Terraforming is an independent, non-governmental, non-profit organization that does not engage in politics but is dedicated to fostering and promoting a culture of remembrance. However, this time we feel the responsibility to clearly express our position. One of the core values and messages we promote through our work is that we must not remain passive observers in moments of injustice and violence. This is not political engagement; it is the fulfillment of a human, moral, civilizational, and civic duty.

We wish to emphasize that precisely because we are committed to spreading knowledge about the historical lessons of the Holocaust, Terraforming supports, and will always support demands for the establishment of the rule of law, free and uncorrupted institutions, a pluralistic society, respect for human dignity, civil and human rights, media freedom, and journalism that adheres to ethical and professional standards rather than serving merely as propaganda tools of the regime. We advocate for free elections and a society capable of standing up to corruption, as well as to the misuse of remembrance culture for the promotion of hatred, fear, and nationalist propaganda. That is why we have supported, and will continue to support, all the demands made by students and other groups of citizens that move society in that direction.

The pressure and various forms of obstruction of our work, which we believe are a direct consequence of these positions, will not prevent us from continuing our professional and high-quality efforts in fostering and promoting a courageous and meaningful culture of remembrance, and in combating antisemitism and antigypsyism, as a regional leader in this field.
