Belgrade Circle
The Belgrade Circle is an NGO established in Belgrade, Serbia, in February 1992.
Initially, the organisation hosted lectures and discussions with mainly Serbian intellectuals, united by their opposition to the nationalist policies of Slobodan Milošević. The Belgrade Circle formed links with NGOs in other parts of the former Yugoslavia, and began to gain an international reputation, hosting lectures by internationally acclaimed intellectuals including Jacques Derrida, Christopher Norris and Richard Rorty. The organisation subsequently focused on strengthening civil society, and worked in co-operation with universities and academics from across the world. It also publishes the Belgrade Circle Journal, which was a member of the Eurozine network between 1995 and 2013, and has published prominent thinkers such as Rorty, Jürgen Habermas and Noam Chomsky.
