An instructive little tale of a collective's trip to the Balkans

Balkan Anarchist Book Fair 2003-2023

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).

Slovenia: Police Attacked by Anarchists after Bookfair

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.

Some thoughts from Balkan Anarchist Bookfair

From Ecotopia Biketour
July 11, 2023

This topic has been on the tip of my tongue since I took part in the Winter Meeting in December for Ecotopia 2023. I remember we were all sitting three days in a row on chairs around a big table, trying to go through as many topics as possible before the weekend was over. Somehow it felt so strange to see that during these days Ecotopia had become practically immobile: the people I had been cycling along with in the summer are now all stuck in a big room on a cold gray German winter day.

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).

Balkan Anarchist Bookfair #14 (June 24-26)

After two years of pause because of pandemia, the 14th edition of the Balkan Anarchist Bookfair will take place this year in Cluj/Kolozsvár, Romania, between 24th and 26th of June, 2022.

The event gathers every year groups and individuals active in the anarchist/autonomous/anti-authoritarian scene in the Balkans and comrades from other areas.
The aim of the fair is not only to create a space for spreading written information produced by self-organised publishing collectives and other groups, but also to connect different initiatives and encourage debates about common issues we face in our local contexts. Since 2003, BAB took place thanks to the involvement of all the participants in a self-organised way.

Every year the Balkan Anarchist Bookfair (BAB) takes place in a different city across the Balkans and is organized by a local collective with an aim to connect local, regional, as well as the international anarchist community.

A-Radio Berlin had the chance to talk with some of the organizers of this 12th BAB about the event, its trajectory and perspective for the future, as well as the experiences of anarchist organizing in Serbia and the Balkans.
