Srdja or Serge Trifkovic (born July 19, 1954, in Belgrade) is a Serbian historian, journalist and political analyst. He resides in the United States, of which he is a naturalized citizen.
Trifkovic earned a BA in international relations from the University of Sussex in 1977 and another, in political science, from the University of Zagreb in 1987. Since 1990 he has held a Ph.D in modern history from the University of Southampton, UK, and he has pursued a post-doctoral research degree at the Hoover Institution in California.
Beginning in 1980, Trifkovic has been a TV broadcaster for BBC World Service and Voice of America and later a journalist covering southeast Europe for U.S. News & World Report and the Washington Times, during which time he was an editor for the Belgrade magazine Duga.
He has been a visiting scholar for the Hoover Institution, the University of St Thomas and Rose Hill College. He has published op-eds and commentaries in the The Times, the San Francisco Chronicle and the Philadelphia Inquirer.
He has been a commentator on numerous national and international TV and radio programs, including the Oliver North Show, (MSNBC), CNN, CNN International, BBC World Service and CBC. He edited and contributed to Liberty, the newspaper of the Serbian National Defense Council of America. He has been the foreign affairs editor for the paleoconservative magazine Chronicles since 1998.
He has worked as a political consultant to Crown Prince Alexander of Yugoslavia and Vojislav Kostunica, as an adviser to Biljana Plavsic, and as representative of the Republika Srpska in London. In March 2003 he testified as an expert witness for the defense before the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in the trial of the Serbian politician Milomar Stakic, who was later sentenced to life imprisonment for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Books
He has written two books:
- Ustasa: Croatian separatism and European politics, 1929-1945
The latter was subject to dispute in 2005 between CAIR and National Review where by CAIR has sought to have the book withdrawn from sale alleging that its content was Islamophobic.
