“Everything Is Politicized”
2010 “Everyth ing is politicized” Competing governments in Strpce/Shtërpcë, Kosovo Abstract: The aim of the research is to gain insight into the practices of parallelism and the influence of framing on this governance system. I obtained this information by taking one municipality, Strpce/Shtërpcë, as a case study. While living there for three months, I analyzed the everyday reality of life for citizens and the local governments. Strpce/Sthërpcë, a municipality in Kosovo of which the population consists of a Serbian majority, has two parallel sets of government related institutions. The governments compete and both claim to be the only legitimate ruler in the municipality. Both base their legitimacy on the claim that the territory is indivisible. Peaceful development in parallelism in Strpce/Shtërpcë will only be achieved when the framing of the situation changes. Significant herein is the inclusion of the youth. By looking into the practices of Strcpe/Shtërpcë I found signs of the dynamics of framing and possibly the weakening of the ‘indivisibility frame’. However regarding subjects that have to do with culture, history or language the indivisibility frame is still strong.

PERILS PUTS INITIAL LOSS ESTIMATE FOR EXTRATROPICAL CYCLONE XAVIER AT EUR 291M Zurich, 16 November 2017 – PERILS, the independent Zurich-based organisation providing industry-wide catastrophe insurance data, has today disclosed its initial loss estimate for Extratropical Cyclone Xavier, which primarily affected Germany on 5 October 2017. PERILS’ initial estimate of the insured property market loss for Xavier, based on loss data from affected insurers collected post-event, is EUR 291 million. In line with the PERILS reporting schedule, an updated estimate of the Xavier market loss will be made available on 5 January 2018, three months after the event start date. Xavier was a very fast-moving and violent storm which caused the deaths of seven people in Germany. It occurred very early in the European winter storm season which meant that many trees were still heavy with leaves and therefore were more prone to being blown over than had the same winds occurred during the winter months. Damaging gusts occurred along a narrow corridor approximately 250 km wide which ran ENE-WSW from Hamburg to Berlin and affected the states of Hamburg, Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Brandenburg and Berlin. The duration of the intense winds experienced over northern and eastern Germany was approximately 14 hours, reflecting the extraordinarily rapid passage of Xavier. Extratropical Cyclone Xavier, maximum gust values in km/h: Xavier struck Germany on 5 October 2017 with violent gusts affecting a narrow corridor from Hamburg to Berlin. Xavier caused the deaths of seven people in Germany.
