A status report provides updated inventories of Pan-European Transport Corridors and Areas for the respective countries and modes of transportation. The objective is to enable comparisons of the achievements between the individual Corridors and Areas, and to keep track of the progress of the transport infrastructure development, investment and financing sources. Since the previous status report of 2002, many projects and initiatives along the Pan- European Transport Corridors and Areas have been undertaken in order to maintain and improve the quality and capacity of the transport infrastructure. In addition, the European Union experienced the largest extension ever in 2004, encompassing ten new member countries. In this context, the role of the respective Transport Corridors and Areas as important transit and trade routes and for freight and passenger traffic has grown significantly. This document is the 2005 status report on the Pan-European Tranport Corridors and Areas . It differs from the previous reports in that it covers a much wider period of time. For this report the corridor representatives have been asked to provide data from the beginning of the initiative, i.e. the second Pan-European conference on Crete in 1994, until the envisaged completion of the routes in 2010. First of all, this report outlines the methodology applied for this study, explaining the approach to cooperation with the Corridor and Area representatives, to data collection and evaluation as well as to the map production. Then, a general introduction to the Corridor and Area concept and its history is being given and the most common financing instruments are explained. Finally, other sources of information are summarized and commented on. The main part of this report consists of the compilation of data and information concerning individual Corridors and Areas. For each Corridor and Area, a summary of the general characteristics, developments, project progress, investment and financing sources is provided. Page 6 31 January 2006 PAN-EUROSTAR 2 Methodology This status report was prepared by a consortium consisting of Jaakko Pöyry Infra/HB- Verkehrsconsult, Hamburg/Germany; VTT-Technical Research Centre of Finland, Espoo; and ANSERI-Consultants Ltd, Helsinki/Finland. The time for compiling this report and producing the relevant maps was 8 months. The role of the consortium partners was to structure the information needs, to collect the information from the Corridor/Area representatives in a harmonised way and to compile the information in the status report. Furthermore, maps were to be produced using a GIS displaying the collected information graphically. In the tender document the consortium has proposed an approach to the task of data collection for the expected status report on Pan-European Corridors and Areas. After the initial contacts with DG TREN in the first weeks after the beginning of the project, a basic concept for the data collection process, as well as activities for its preparation were presented by the consortium. As a starting point it was suggested to analyse the previous status report from the years 2000 and 2001, published in 2002. Another source of information for the new status report were the existing web sites of the corridor administrations. However, in terms of content the few sites differ significantly. Lastly, a considerable amount of desk research has been done by the consortium in order to gather the required information. Some reports produced in the context of other projects from the European Commission were a fruitful source of relevant data. Special attention has been paid to the fact that following the enlargement of the European Community, the corridors originally defined in the Crete Declaration in 1994 (apart from Corridor X which was added at the Helsinki Conference in 1997) are now part of the trans- European transport network (TEN) Regarding the methodology of the status report, three working fields have to be distinguished: Data Collection Development of a database Mapping These three activities are not successive steps but rather interconnected with each other. Obviously, data has to be collected before it can be entered into a database or plotted on a map, but in order to be able to define the type of data to be collected and the degree of its precision, it is necessary to be clear about how to structure the database and how to display the information on a map later.

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.

  • ROADS of SERBIA” ZORAN DROBNJAK “When You Want to Develop an Area, Equip It with Good Roads”, Prof
    INTRODUCTION ACTING DIRECTOR OF THE PE “ROADS OF SERBIA” ZORAN DROBNJAK “When you want to develop an area, equip it with good roads”, prof. dr Milan Vujanić says and I entirely agree with this. Interdependence of industry and roads is quite evident because roads, in addition to their main function concerning the transport of people and goods, also generate growth and development of all places through which the road network passes as well as all other which are indirectly connected with motorways and other important routes in the Republic of Serbia. Thus it is the main dedication of the PE “Roads of Serbia” to achieve what is expected from us – to successfully finish all investments and provide the same level of quality of all the roads in Serbia with constant increase of the level of traffic safety, with cordial assistance of the Government of the Republic of Serbia and the Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure. This is an imperative of our work, not only because of the expectations in front of us regarding the accession to the European Union, but also because good roads are one of the pillars of every serious and modern country. Road towards the achievement of big results starts with the devotion of individuals, each one of us. Owing to an exceptional devotion of the employees in the PE “Roads of Serbia”, achievement of the adopted plans is possible, regardless of the difficulties and not always favourable work conditions which the time sets upon us. Daily perseverance, devotion and openness of our employees to new knowledge and changes is obvious.
