Aleksandra Savanović (Belgrade) joined us for FA Talks #13. We talk about the ongoing research carried out by Zajedničko, a research and educational platform from Belgrade, dedicated to  studying, supporting and initiating models and practices within the  economic democracy framework - in partnership with Association for Culture and Art Crvena (Sarajevo) and Institute for Political Ecology (Zagreb).

Starting from Zajedničko’s previous work on commons, economic democracy and alternative economies and following up from their From Yugoslav self-management to contemporary commons project (supported through FA’s ReThink program which allowed to initiate the cooperation) – the new joint research aims  to critically assess the Yugoslav self-management system and by  examining its complex legacy in the context of the forthcoming economic  recession and social crisis, offer practical guidelines for  re-organizing (reclaimed) public services and democratizing management  and ownership models within the production sector.
