  • The Ruthenian Journey from the Carpathian Mountains to the Panonian Plain* M
    182 2014, № 2 (36) UDC 94(497.1) THE RUTHENIAN JOURNEY FROM THE CARPATHIAN MOUNTAINS TO THE PANONIAN PLAIN* M. Fejsa Faculty of Philosophy, Department of Ruthenian Studies University of Novi Sad (Serbia) e-mail: [email protected] Scopus Author ID: 56031169500 Abstract Although the Ruthenians / Rusyns in Serbia (less than 15 000 members of the Ruthenian (Rusyn national community today) were cut off from their brethren in the Carpathian area they have managed to survive on the Panonian Plain. Comparing to the Ruthenians in all other countries the Ruthenians in Serbia have the highest level of minority rights. The Serbian / Vojvodinian authorities do their best to implement international conventions and there is a hope for the Ruthenians in Serbia / Vojvodina to preserve their culture, language and national identity in the future. Keywords: Ruthenians in Serbia / Vojvodina, Carpathian homeland, ethnocultural development, Ruthenian language, national minorities For centuries Ruthenians / Rusyns lived within the borders of Hungarian Kingdom. They lived in the northeast Hungarian counties, namely, in Zemplen, Saros, Abauj-Torna, Borsod, Szabolcs, Ung, Ugocsa, Maramaros and Gemer. Some 260 years ago, groups of Ruthenians began migrating south from their homeland in the Carpathian mountains to the Srem and Bačka regions of what is now Vojvodina in Serbia and Eastern Slavonia in Croatia (Фејса, 2010: 112-113). After the defeat and retreat of the Ottoman Empire from Bačka, Srem and Banat in 1699, the Austro-Hungarian authorities needed more population in the south of their state and supported colonization of Germans, Hungarians, Slovaks and others, among them Ruthenians as well (Gavrilović, 1977: 153).

(2020). Examination of the motivation for further education among Hungarian high school students in Vojvodina. Deturope, 12(3): 151-168. Abstract The study focuses on the higher education choices of Hungarian-speaking students studying at Serbian high schools in Vojvodina. Due to the disorganized nature of Hungarian-language higher education in Serbia, Hungarian students have little opportunity to study in their mother tongue at state universities and colleges. A questionnaire was distributed among 442 students at 11 high schools in Vojvodina to find out about their intention to study after high school, their reasons for and against higher education in Serbia, and the reasons influencing their choice of higher education institution. The results were analyzed with frequency tables and word clouds. Eighty percent of respondents said they planned to continue their studies after high school. Of those, 72% would like to study in one of the Hungarian higher education institutions, while 25% would like to study in Serbia.

  • A Note on University Autonomy and the New Law on Higher Education in Serbia
    A Note on University Autonomy and the New Law on Higher Education in Serbia At the invitation of Prof. Fuada Stankovic , Rector of the University of Novi Sad, recent signatory of the Magna Charta Universitatum, the Observatory of the University Fundamenta l Values and Rights, in Bologna, delegated two of its members, Prof. Michael Daxner, former President of the University of Oldenburg and former International Administrator for Education in Kosovo, and Dr. Kenneth Edwards, former Vice -Chancellor of the Univ ersity of Leicester and former President of the Association of European Universities, to discuss with representatives of all universities in Serbia the conditions of academic development - as envisaged by the new law on higher education. They were accompan ied by Dr. Andris Barblan, Secretary General of the Magna Charta Observatory. From a full day of intense discussions, the following paragraphs represent a summary of their understanding of the situation in Serbian higher education at present: A. Context and Challenges Among the countries of South East Europe, Serbia has chosen as guiding principle for its development the compatibility of its structural rules with those defining the transformation of Europe into a community which Serbia would like to join in the future. To reach European compatibility , it can count on its central position in the continent as well as on a high intellectual capacity shaping a system of comprehensive universities that spreads in various parts of the country. It can also prese nt a remarkable set of legal and structural reforms that were discussed and adopted in a short period of time, often with a clear sense of the linkages between various sectors of activity, for instance primary and secondary education.

  • Minority Education in the Republic of Serbia – a Success Story with Challenges
    Annamária Vicsek Minority Education in the Republic of Serbia – A Success Story with Challenges Abstract Minority education in Serbia dates back to and relies on the policies and practices inherited from the former Yugoslavia, and there is a rather elaborated and sophisticated system of minority education which relies on two strong pillars: one pillar is the right to full education in one’s mother tongue and the other is acquiring the state language to a satisfactory level at the same time. The paper is more of a reflection on the current status and challenges of minority educa- tion from the viewpoint of the author who at the time of writing was serving as state secre- tary in charge of minority education at the Ministry of Education, Science and Technologi- cal Development of the Republic of Serbia. Therefore, the paper should not be considered an academic approach on the matter. Legal Framework of Minority Education The foundation of the right to minority education is embedded in the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia, which dedicates an entire section to human and minority rights.1 Among other human and minority rights, the right to preservation of specificity of national minorities is also determined (Article 79). Moreover, the right to education in minority languages in all kinds of educational institutions is also defined in the same article of the Constitution. Article 20 of the Constitution determines that the attained level of human 1 Official Gazette of RS, No. 98/2006, Section II. https://www.ilo.org/dyn/natlex/docs/ELECTRON- IC/74694/119555/F838981147/SRB74694%20Eng.pdf 85 Hungarian Journal of Minority Studies · Volume II | 2018 and minority rights must not be decreased.

Abstract Detailed distribution pattern of colubrid snakes in Serbia is still inadequately described, despite the long historical study. In this paper, we provide accurate distribution of seven species, with previously published and newly accumulated faunistic records compiled. Comparative analysis of faunas among all Balkan countries showed that Serbian colubrid fauna is among the most distinct (together with faunas of Slovenia and Romania), due to small number of species. Zoogeographic analysis showed high chorotype diversity of Serbian colubrids: seven species belong to six chorotypes. South-eastern Serbia (Pčinja River valley) is characterized by the presence of all colubrid species inhabiting our country, and deserves the highest conservation status at the national level.

  • Migration and Population Origin of Negotin Municipality at the Beginning of the 20Th Century
    Migration and Population Origin of Negotin Municipality at the Beginning of the 20th Century Review article UDC 314.7(497.11 Negotin)„19” Received: 3. July 2019; doi: 10.5937/zrgfub1902069A Received in revised form: 10. July 2019; Accepted: 20. July 2019; Available online: 20. July 2019 MIGRATION AND POPULATION ORIGIN OF NEGOTIN MUNICIPALITY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY Zlatko Apanović 1 Abstract: The area of the municipality of Negotin, which belonged to the historically important area of Krajina, represented the polygon of intersection of migration flows of different intensity and directions. Studying the origins of the population enables us to understand the currently ethnic division of settlements created by the migrations and ethnic processes that influence the settlements which are the subject of this paper. This article aims to describe the migration flows that determined the origin of the population of the municipality of Negotin and the ethnic distribution of settlements. The results of anthropogeographic surveys conducted during the second and third decades of the 20th century, as well as ethnological research from the second half of the 20th century, can rightly be interpreted as supporting the claim that the origin of the population and the ethnic structure of settlements of the municipality of Negotin are largely the result of historical migration trends. Of the greatest importance for the ethnic distribution of population are its two migration flows. The first and the oldest migration flow from Kosovo and Metohija and stage areas for that migrant lineages (families who have a mutual ancestor) and the second and the most numerous migration flow is from Wallachia, in which the participating lineages of Serbian and Vlach origin which created conditions for further deepening of the differences between Serbian and Vlach settlements.
