Prvo, u smislu konteksta, vi ste se rodili oktobra 1928. godine i bili ste na raznim funkcijama u vladi tokom vaše karijere. Uglavnom ste se bavili socijalnim i ekonomskim razvojem, bili ste ambasador u Italiji (Italy) krajem sedamdesetih godina. Da li ste 1989. godine bili izabrani kao srpski predstavnik u Predsedištvo SFRJ, da li ste bili potpredsednik tog Predsedni- štva od 5. maja 1989. godine do 15. maja 1990. godine.

Da li ste posle toga bili predsednik Socijalističke partije Srbije od 24. maja 1991. godine do oktobra 1992. godine kada ste preuzeli funkciju od optuženog koji je tada sišao sa te funkcije i kad se on vratio kao vođa partije da li ste vi onda postali potpred- sednik stranke i ostali na toj funkciji do novembra 1995. godine? SVEDOK JOVIĆ – ODGOVOR: Da, tačno je to.

  • Mass Media and Peace in Bosnia-Herzegovina: the Role of the Bosnian Mass Media After Dayton Accords, 1995
    Mass Media and Peace in Bosnia-Herzegovina: The Role of the Bosnian Mass Media after Dayton Accords, 1995 Mustafa Taha, American University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates The European Conference on the Social Sciences 2017 Official Conference Proceedings iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org Introduction This paper examines the role that mass media played in Bosnia-Herzegovina after Dayton Accords 1995. It provides a theoretical framework and explores how Bosnian media outlets contributed to the peace process and national reconciliation. To envisage the difficulty of retooling the Bosnian mass media to promote peace, the paper reflects to the destructive role that mass media played during the Bosnian war. It highlights the roles of media outlets controlled by Bosnian Muslims, Bosnian Serbs, and Bosnian Croats. Because these rival ethnic groups had used mass media to fan war before Dayton Accords, the paper examines efforts aimed at utilizing these media organizations to serve the cause of peace. The paper also sheds light on newscasts convergence, namely between Belgrade’s media and Bosnian Serb media on the one hand, and Zagreb’s media and Bosnian Croat media on the other hand. This newscast convergence influenced the peace process in Bosnia-Herzegovina and affected its multiethnic and multicultural heritage. The paper underscores the assistance that United States and the European countries provided to Bosnian media to sustain the peace process. It discusses the role that the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) played in regulating the Bosnian media to promote peace and democratization. The paper pays a special attention to role of The Media Experts Commission (MEC) in regulating the Bosnian media and utilizing it as a tool for enhancing peace during the 1996 elections.

    COMPANY PROFILE 2012 An Italian story 1947 – Selle SMP is founded - 1970 – Annual production of 1,000,000 seats - 1981 – Transfer to new headquarters in Casalserugo - 1990 – Annual production of 3,000,000 seats - 1995 – Internal testing laboratory is created, over 5,000,000 seats produced ... Post World War II, the golden years of the bicycle. An entire country moved around on two wheels, and two champions, Coppi and Bartali, challenged each other on the roads of the Giro and the Tour. These were the years before the economic boom; the motorization of Italy was still yet to come. A young craftsman, Martino Schiavon, produced bicycle seats in an attic in the historical center of Padua. This was the beginning of the story of Selle SMP, an Italian story based on age-old values such as tenaciousness, spirit of initiative, courage, and the desire to embark on a new enterprise, counting on the strength of one’s own ideas. Over the years the company grew and developed until becoming one of the main producers worldwide in terms of innovative capacity and number of products sold. Then, at the beginning of the 2000’s, the sector was hit by a serious crisis caused by formidable competition from Asian producers. The only company on the panorama of national producers, Selle SMP decided to face the global market diffi culties without taking the route of delocalization in countries with low labor costs. The Schiavon family, convinced that the local production network must not lose experience and know how gained over many years of impassioned work and sacrifi ces, has kept production and employment in the Veneto region, opting to compete in the fi eld of innovation and quality.

    Title The permanent campaign strategy of Greek Prime Ministers (1996–2011) Candidate Panagiotis Koliastasis Degree This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 4 Abstract Various academic authors have analysed the implementation, the causes and the impact of the permanent campaign strategy by political executives in presidential and parliamentary systems, notably the United States and United Kingdom. This study builds on this literature and extends the research on the permanent campaign in the European parliamentary majoritarian context by examining contemporary Greece as a national case study. In particular, the study addresses three questions. First, did contemporary Greek Prime Ministers adopt the permanent campaign strategy? Second, why did they do so? Third, what impact did the implementation of the permanent campaign have on their public approval? The research focuses on the cases of three successive Prime Ministers in Greece: Costas Simitis (1996–2004), Kostas Karamanlis (2004–2009) and George Papandreou (2009-2011). Simitis and Papandreou were leaders of the centre-left PASOK, while Karamanlis was the leader of the centre-right New Democracy. The study finds that all three Prime Ministers undertook the permanent campaign strategy in order to maintain public approval, aligning themselves with their British and American counterparts. They established new communication units within the primeministerial apparatus, consulted with communication professionals to form a coherent communication
