Legal historian Anita Ziegerhofer on 30 years of Austria in the EU

These are challenging times for the European Union. The war in Ukraine and the threat posed by Russia, US President Donald Trump's customs policy and right-wing populism in its member states are putting the EU under pressure. Austria is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its membership this year. The advantages this has brought to our country and whether it can be described as a success story will be the topic of the "Rechtshistorischer Dialog" at the University of Graz on 6 October 2025. Anita Ziegerhofer, initiator of the event series, invites former EU Commissioner and Minister of Agriculture Franz Fischler, former Minister of Finance Ferdinand Lacina, Tina Obermoser from Europe direct/Land Steiermark and European law expert Paul Gragl from the University of Graz to the discussion. Ziegerhofer, a legal historian, is passionate about the idea of a united Europe, but is concerned about the future of the Union because, "We still haven't learned to think European."

30 years after Srebrenica: Heike Karge supports forces for reconciliation

This year marks the thirtieth anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia. To this day, Serbia and the Republika Srpska refuse to characterise the killing of more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslims as genocide. Those in power lack the will to come to terms with the atrocities. There is hope from strong forces in civil society who want to make a process of reconciliation possible by documenting war crimes across national and ethnic boundaries. Heike Karge, Professor of Southeast European History at the University of Graz, supports them in joint research projects, among other things.
