  • Properties of Dairy Production in the Sarajevo-Romanija Region1
    original research paper Acta Agriculturae Serbica, Vol. XVI, 32 (2011) 135-143 Properties of dairy production in the Sarajevo-Romanija region 1 Grujica Vico, Tatjana Pandurević, Srđan Kostić Faculty of Agriculture East Sarajevo, R. Srpska, BiH Zoran Rajić Faculty of Agriculture Belgrade, Serbia Abstract: Sarajevo - Romanija region entirely belongs to the hilly and mountainous region where livestock production is the dominant form of agriculture. The paper presents results of a research conducted on a sample of ten farms engaged in dairy production. The use of scientific methods has helped us gain a clearer picture of basic organizational and economic characteristics of dairy production in the Sarajevo - Romanija region. Farm production conditions are characterized by marked heterogeneity, resulting in variability of economic performance. In cases where there was a higher degree of fulfilment of prescribed organizational and technological measures, satisfactory economic performance was achieved and the farms, with additional improvements implemented, have further prospects in milk and calf production. Key words: dairy production, Sarajevo - Romanija region, production conditions, economic performance Introduction Although improvements were observed in the past, it is obvious that milk production in Republic of Srpska still lags behind developed countries, and that it is not competitive in the increasingly open market (Vico, 2009). Received: 11 November 2011 / Accepted: 12 December 2011 Acta Agriculturae Serbica, Vol. XVI, 32 (2011) 135-143 The unfavourable characteristics of dairy production in the Republic of Srpska, primarily reflected through low milk yields per cow, disadvantaged racial composition, low marketability of production, insufficient use of modern organizational and technological solutions, indicate the necessity of taking a series of activities aimed at improving the overall production.

  • Animal Genetic Resources in Bosnia and Herzegovina
    BOSNA I HERCEGOVINA BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Ured za veterinarstvo State Veterinary Administration Bosne i Hercegovine of Bosnia and Herzegovina S A R A J E V O S A R A J E V O Animal genetic resources in Bosnia and Herzegovina SARAJEVO, 2003. SUMMARY In the postwar period, the number of cattle has decreased by 43 percent, sheep by 40 percent, poultry by 60 percent and horses by 49 percent. On the territory of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, more severely affected by the war, losses inflicted to livestock are much higher. Those numbers show the decrease of cattle by 60%, sheep by 75 percent and pigs by 90 percent and poultry by 68 percent and horses by 65 percent. During the war country’s recorded data on animal performance and the nucleus herd of the endangered local cattle (Busha) got destroyed together with any other relevant documentation. The breeding and conservation program for the Bosnian Mountain Horse has been seriously affected. Also as the consequence of war and displacement of human population, a number of flocks of the improved local Pramenka sheep have been lost. The import of exotic breeds, which started on a larger scale at the end of the last century, has been continued after the war through agricultural rehabilitation programs. At the end of the last century, a new breed (the Gatacko cattle) was developed based on imported Tyrolean Gray cattle and local Busha. Import of other breeds (Alpine Brown, Simmental and Frisian) has contributed to an increase in milk production per cow. In the northern part of B&H, breed Simmental has replaced the local Posavsko cattle.

  • Touristic Movement in Jahorina Mountain from 1999 to 2016
    TOURISTIC MOVEMENT IN JAHORINA MOUNTAIN FROM 1999 TO 2016 Emilija Dostović Abstract: Mountain Jahorina – a so called “snow beauty”, represents one of the largest ski and winter resorts in the Balkans. During the 14th Winter Olympic Games in 1984 this region has reached considerable touristic development. The one thing that separates Jahorina as a Winter Olympic Center from the rest is the sheer quality of ski tracks located on site, which are suitable for professionals and beginners alike. Apart from skiing activities, visitors can enjoy the natural scenery that this region has to offer. The mild climate, rich hydrography, lush flora and fauna and anthropogenic values can be found here as well. This is a place where Western and Eastern civilizations meet, sometimes even collide but they enrich this region together nonetheless through their long and fascinating history. After the Winter Olympic Games, a three-year civil war, the economic crisis that followed and basic negligence has resulted in a decline of visitors during the years. This area also suffered from a decline of infrastructure capital and material base, reduction of birth rate and emigration of the population. This research shows that Jahorina has a good potential to be a regional tourist centre that could be attractive for visiting at any time of the year. Key factors for a recent tourism development of mountain Jahorina as well as the increase of visitors in the period from 1999 and information about existing infrastructure is shown in the next pages of this paper. As an increase of visitors is apparent in recent time, it gives hope and motive for further work on infrastructure and capacity development for sports, winter and summer activities.

Hojo Code The Martello Papers This is the eighteenth in a series of security studies published over the past several years by the Queen’s University Centre for International Relations (QCIR), under the general title of the Martello Papers. “From Ottawa to Sarajevo” is a detailed, empirical examination of Canadian participation in UN peacekeeping efforts in the former Yugoslavia between 1992 and 1995, written by a US Air Force officer, Major Dawn Hewitt, who served as Visiting Defence Fellow at the Centre during the 1996-97 academic year. Peacekeeping, by all accounts, has become increasingly complex since the end- ing of the Cold War, and as Major Hewitt’s monograph reveals, nowhere have those complexities and frustrations been more apparent than in the former Yugo- slavia.

The aim of this study was to obtain the exposure and health risk assessment of this toxin in raw milk using a selection of existing test results of different periods in a different region of Bosnia and Herzegovina. For AFM1 intake assessment, the data available from the report of Pre-Accession Assistance To Agriculture And Rural Development Sector Analyses in Bosnia and Herzegovina was used. For the concentration of the aflatoxin M1 in raw milk, the data of the previous studies and unpublished data from the Laboratory of Toxicological Chemistry Faculty of the Pharmacy University of Sarajevo were used. Risk characterization was performed by calculating the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence per year for four exposure scenario. The results indicated that the average estimated daily intake of aflatoxin M1 was 0.049 ng/kg body weight (bw) per day.

  • Bosnia and Herzegovina
    BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Sead Vojnikovic Summary of climate change dimensions Although Bosnia and Herzegovina ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2000, and its Kyoto Protocol in 2008, research activities and capacity building have not developed sufficiently, as policy on and scientific research into climate change in Bosnia and Herzegovina have been affected by the post-war situation, with a very complex state administration; lack of state and regional level legislation; absence of national, international and inter-sectoral cooperation; etc. Bosnia and Herzegovina has lacked studies addressing climate changing problems and their regional and local influences on forestry, forest productivity, biodiversity, etc. No models have been developed that could be used for assessing impact on forestry or for evaluating possible national areal changes to plant and animal communities. The most complete report regarding climate change is the Initial National Communication (INC) of Bosnia and Herzegovina to UNFCCC. The majority of this text derives from that report. Forestry Forests represent one of the major natural resources of the country. Due to their natural and diverse structure, as well as extensive natural regeneration, they represent crucial resources for the further development of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The country itself is geographically optimally positioned in terms of diverse climatic influences (Mediterranean, sub-Mediterranean and middle continental climate zones) and is home to over one hundred tree species. The main species found are fir, spruce, Scots and European pine, beech, different species of oak, and less significant numbers of noble broadleaves, including maples, elms, ash, together with fruit trees (cherry, apple, pear).
