  • 1 THESSOLONIANS 1:1-10 the Gospel Received in Much Assurance and Much Affliction the Vitality of a Living Christian Faith
    1 THESSOLONIANS 1:1-10 The Gospel Received in Much Assurance and Much Affliction The Vitality of a Living Christian Faith Thessalonica was a Roman colony located in Macedonia and not in Greece proper. The city was first named Therma because of the hot springs in that area. In 316 A.D. Cassander, one of the four generals who divided up the empire of Alexander the Great took Macedonia and made Thessalonica his home base. He renamed the city in memory of his wife, Thessalonike, who was a half sister of Alexander. The city is still in existence and is now known as Salonika. Rome had a somewhat different policy with their captured people from what many other nations have had. For example, it seems that we try to Americanize all the people throughout the world, as if that would be the ideal. Rome was much wiser than that. She did not attempt to directly change the culture, the habits, the customs, or the language of the people whom she conquered. Instead, she would set up colonies which were arranged geographically in strategic spots throughout the empire. A city which was a Roman colony would gradually adopt Roman laws and customs and ways. In the local department stores you would see the latest things they were wearing in Rome itself. Thus these colonies were very much like a little Rome. Thessalonica was such a Roman colony, and it was an important city in the life of the Roman Empire. It was Cicero who said, “Thessalonica is in the bosom of the empire.” It was right in the center or the heart of the empire and was the chief city of Macedonia.

  • Draft Assessment Report: Skopje, North Macedonia
    Highlights of the draft Assessment report for Skopje, North Macedonia General highlights about the informal/illegal constructions in North Macedonia The Republic of North Macedonia belongs to the European continent, located at the heart of the Balkan Peninsula. It has approx. 2.1 million inhabitants and are of 25.713 km2. Skopje is the capital city, with 506,926 inhabitants (according to 2002 count). The country consists of 80 local self-government units (municipalities) and the city of Skopje as special form of local self-government unit. The City of Skopje consists of 10 municipalities, as follows: 1. Municipality of Aerodrom, 2. Municipality of Butel, 3. Municipality of Gazi Baba, 4. Municipality of Gorche Petrov, 5. Municipality of Karpos, 6. Municipality of Kisela Voda, 7. Municipality of Saraj, 8. Municipality of Centar, 9. Municipality of Chair and 10. Municipality of Shuto Orizari. During the transition period, the Republic of North Macedonia faced challenges in different sectors. The urban development is one of the sectors that was directly affected from the informal/illegally constructed buildings. According to statistical data, in 2019 there was a registration of 886 illegally built objects. Most of these objects (98.4 %) are built on private land. Considering the challenge for the urban development of the country, in 2011 the Government proposed, and the Parliament adopted a Law on the treatment of unlawful constructions. This Law introduced a legalization process. Institutions in charge for implementation of the legalization procedure are the municipalities in the City of Skopje (depending on the territory where the object is constructed) and the Ministry of Transport and Communication.

  • Zagreb for Me
    Smart City – Good Practice Public Services and Infrastructures, Land Use Zagreb for Me Zagreb, Croatia Revitalization of Zagreb's public spaces using public participation as a tool “Zagreb for Me” is an ambitious and comprehensive project launched in 2015 by the Zagreb Society of Architects in cooperation with the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Zagreb and the City of Zagreb. The goal of the project is to start a revitalization of public spaces through the realization of 17 urban interventions in the whole city area at the same time. This distributed approach will improve the general “image of the city” and raise the quality of urban life in segments of housing, recreation, leisure and social cohesion [1]. Although Zagreb has some significant historical parks and squares in its centre, as well as a few recreational zones, the rest of the city has plenty of neglected open spaces that have no specific function. This project aims to decentralize designed public spaces and draw attention to some forgotten city spots. At the same time, the project, created from a “bottom-up” initiative, establishes a new model of public participation as well as new forms of collaboration. Country/ City Profile Country City Population (2013) 4.236 million [6] Population (2013) 790,000 (federal district) [9] Land area (km²) 56,590 [7] Land area (km²) 641 [10] GDP per capita (2014, 21,210 [8] GDP per capita (2011, 18,200 current international $, at US$) purchasing power parity) Region Middle / Region Inland Southeast Europe City’s physical Location Bordered by Medvednica mountain and the Sava river (flooding risk, urban heat) geography Relatively low altitude (~125m) Climate Oceanic continental climate near the humid continental climate (average temperature: 12.9 C°) with relatively warm summers (average summer temperature: 26°) and relatively cold winters Precipitation generally moderate throughout the year (average 880 mm/year) Initiating context The project, “Zagreb for Me”, arose from the “bottom-up” project called City Acupuncture.

  • LESSON TITLE: the Call to Macedonia THEME: We Must Be
    Devotion NT301 CHILDREN’S DEVOTIONS FOR THE WEEK OF: ____________________ LESSON TITLE: The Call to Macedonia THEME: We must be obedient to the voice of the Lord! SCRIPTURE: Acts 16:6-10 Dear Parents… Welcome to Bible Time for Kids! Bible Time for Kids is a series of daily devotions for children and their families. Our purpose is to supplement our Sunday morning curriculum and give you an opportunity to encourage your children to develop a daily devotional life. We hope you and your family will be blessed as you study God’s Word together. This week in Children’s Church we learned about The Call to Macedonia. The theme was “We must be obedient to the voice of the Lord.” Paul saw a vision of a man from Macedonia. He thought that he was going to go to Asia or Bythinia to share the gospel, but God had other plans. When God showed Paul what He wanted him to do, he immediately obeyed. God still speaks to us today through His Word and through His Holy Spirit. Whenever we hear the voice of the Lord we also need to be obedient. We will look at how we can listen to God and what our response should be this week in our devotion time. The section of scripture that we studied was Acts 16:6-10. The following five devotions are based on either the scripture and/or the theme for Sunday’s lesson. As a starting point it would be good for you to review these verses with your children.

  • The Bri in Europe and the Budapest-Belgrade Railway Link
    Briefing Paper, 10/2019 THE BRI IN EUROPE AND THE BUDAPEST-BELGRADE RAILWAY LINK Flora Rencz Junior Researcher, EIAS October 2019 Abstract Increasing Chinese influence in Europe has been a growing source of anxiety in Brussels in recent years. This paper seeks to better understand these exacerbated fears through the case of the Budapest-Belgrade railway link refurbishment. The project is part of the 17+1 Cooperation and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). It had been announced in 2013 but was stalled on the Hungarian side until 2019 due to EU tender regulations. This paper provides an overview of the Budapest-Belgrade case’s timeline and details. It also analyses the challenges arising during the execution of the project, particularly focusing on political concerns from Brussels, feasibility issues, and the reception of the refurbishment by the Hungarian public. The paper also sheds light on how the project progressed differently on the Hungarian side as it did on the Serbian side as a non-EU member, due to the EU’s intervention. The railway link is a great case study to gain a better understanding of the BRI and the implications of China’s growing influence as a global actor for the EU and its neighbours. Briefing papers published by the European Institute for Asian Studies are summaries of facts which are related to a certain issue and often include a proposed course of action. This paper expresses the views of the author(s) and not of the European Institute for Asian Studies Introduction In November 2013, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dačić, and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced plans to modernise the railway link between Budapest and Belgrade.1 The project was retrospectively labelled part of China’s multilateral cooperation with the Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, the so-called 17+1 Cooperation (since Greece joined in 2019),2 hence making it a Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) project.

For almost a decade there were no talks or contacts with the Bishop of Skopje, Dr. Smiljan Čekada, whom the Commission for Religious Affairs of the People’s Republic of Macedonia regarded as “a reactionary person and an opponent of the constitutional order”. According to the analyses made at the Federal Commission for Religious Affairs, Bishop Čekada’s primary objective was to promote union with the Roman Catholic Church among Orthodox Christians in Macedonia. The fear of the local and federal authorities that the idea of union with the Roman Catholic Church may spread in Macedonia had a lot to do with the unresolved status of the Orthodox Church in Macedonia and led to the deportation of two Catholic priests, one of whom was the archpriest of the Eastern Rite Catholics in Macedonia. The deportation aggravated further relations between the authorities and the Diocese of Skopje and gave rise to growing distrust of Bishop Smiljan Čekada. Introduction In Yugoslavia, in the fi rst decade of the establishment of the government of KPJ/ SKJ (Communist Party of Yugoslavia/League of Communists of Yugoslavia), the Soviet ideological model was applied toward religion and religious communities.

In already published Concluding Observations, the Committee has evaluated the positive integration of Ombudsman institutions and the adoption of the prohibition of discrimination. The main objection to the Committee refers to the need of urgent removal of discriminatory provisions of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to enable every citizen, regardless of nationality or residence, an opportunity to elect and to be elected. Further on, it was concluded that there are obstacles in regards to the return of the refugees and displaced persons and it was recommended to BiH authorities to provided equal conditions of employment, education, access to health and social care to the returnees in BiH. The Committee concluded that there is continued presence of discrimination against Roma and it expressed its particular concern over the fact that there is still a large number of Roma children that is not reported or recorded in newborn registration service. The Committtee therefore recommended to BH authorities to enable Roma to obtain identity documents which is the basis for achieving their political, civil and other human rights.
