  • "Clearing the Mines 2018" Report for Serbia
    SERBIA ARTICLE 5 DEADLINE: 1 MARCH 2019 (FOUR-YEAR EXTENSION REQUESTED TO 1 MARCH 2023) PROGRAMME PERFORMANCE 2017 2016 Problem understood 7 7 Target date for completion of mine clearance 5 5 Targeted clearance 5 4 Effi cient clearance 6 6 National funding of programme 6 5 Timely clearance 4 4 Land-release system in place 6 6 National mine action standards 5 6 Reporting on progress 6 6 Improving performance 6 5 PERFORMANCE SCORE: AVERAGE 5.6 5.4 185 Clearing the Mines 2018 Report STATES PARTIES SERBIA PERFORMANCE COMMENTARY Serbia’s mine action programme showed signs of improvement in 2017 even though no full clearance was conducted. During the year, Serbia released just under 0.3km2 of mined area through technical survey, during which three anti-personnel mines and an item of unexploded ordnance (UXO) were found and destroyed. This represents an increase in output compared to 2016, when no mined area was released. Furthermore, the application of technical survey is also a positive development, demonstrating a willingness by the Serbian Mine Action Centre (SMAC) to adopt more effi cient land release methodology in instances where technical survey is more appropriate than full clearance. This might, in turn, encourage greater international funding support which is required for SMAC to implement the work plan outlined in Serbia’s second Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC) Article 5 deadline extension request. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ACTION ■ Serbia should identify additional funding, including from national and international sources, for the survey and clearance of mined areas. ■ Serbia should consider using its armed forces for mine clearance to help meet its treaty obligations and fulfi l its Article 5 obligations by 2023.

  • Language Policy and Linguistic Reality in Former Yugoslavia and Its Successor States
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Tsukuba Repository Language Policy and Linguistic Reality in Former Yugoslavia and its Successor States 著者 POZGAJ HADZ Vesna journal or Inter Faculty publication title volume 5 page range 49-91 year 2014 URL http://doi.org/10.15068/00143222 Language Policy and Linguistic Reality in Former Yugoslavia and its Successor States Vesna POŽGAJ HADŽI Department of Slavistics Faculty of Arts University of Ljubljana Abstract Turbulent social and political circumstances in the Middle South Slavic language area caused the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the formation of new countries in the 1990s, and this of course was reflected in the demise of the prestigious Serbo-Croatian language and the emergence of new standard languages based on the Štokavian dialect (Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian and Montenegrin). The Yugoslav language policy advocated a polycentric model of linguistic unity that strived for equal representation of the languages of the peoples (Serbo-Croatian, Macedonian and Slovenian), ethnicities (ethnic minorities) and ethnic groups, as well as both scripts (Latin and Cyrillic). Serbo-Croatian, spoken by 73% of people in Yugoslavia, was divided into the eastern and the western variety and two standard language expressions: Bosnian and Montenegrin. One linguistic system had sociolinguistic subsystems or varieties which functioned and developed in different socio-political, historical, religious and other circumstances. With the disintegration of Yugoslavia, the aforementioned sociolinguistic subsystems became standard languages (one linguistic system brought forth four political languages). We will describe the linguistic circumstances of the newly formed countries after 1991 in Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro.

  • The Production of Lexical Tone in Croatian
    The production of lexical tone in Croatian Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors der Philosophie im Fachbereich Sprach- und Kulturwissenschaften der Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität zu Frankfurt am Main vorgelegt von Jevgenij Zintchenko Jurlina aus Kiew 2018 (Einreichungsjahr) 2019 (Erscheinungsjahr) 1. Gutacher: Prof. Dr. Henning Reetz 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Sven Grawunder Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 01.11.2018 ABSTRACT Jevgenij Zintchenko Jurlina: The production of lexical tone in Croatian (Under the direction of Prof. Dr. Henning Reetz and Prof. Dr. Sven Grawunder) This dissertation is an investigation of pitch accent, or lexical tone, in standard Croatian. The first chapter presents an in-depth overview of the history of the Croatian language, its relationship to Serbo-Croatian, its dialect groups and pronunciation variants, and general phonology. The second chapter explains the difference between various types of prosodic prominence and describes systems of pitch accent in various languages from different parts of the world: Yucatec Maya, Lithuanian and Limburgian. Following is a detailed account of the history of tone in Serbo-Croatian and Croatian, the specifics of its tonal system, intonational phonology and finally, a review of the most prominent phonetic investigations of tone in that language. The focal point of this dissertation is a production experiment, in which ten native speakers of Croatian from the region of Slavonia were recorded. The material recorded included a diverse selection of monosyllabic, bisyllabic, trisyllabic and quadrisyllabic words, containing all four accents of standard Croatian: short falling, long falling, short rising and long rising. Each target word was spoken in initial, medial and final positions of natural Croatian sentences.

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.

  • Atlas of Language Politics in Modern Central Europe: a Conceptual Framework
    Atlas of Language Politics in Modern Central Europe: A Conceptual Framework Acknowledgments First of all, the volume’s co-editors, Tomasz Kamusella, Motoki Nomachi, and Cathe- rine Gibson, wish to thank the Slavic-Eurasian Research Center at Hokkaido University for making this volume possible. We hope that it may facilitate the completion of Atlas of Language Politics in Modern Central Europe and significantly add to the scholarly and cartographic quality and accurateness of this work-in-progress. We also extend a word of our gratitude to the volume’s other contributors, whose commentary essays on the Atlas help us see the project’s strengths and weaknesses, so that we could build on the former and ameliorate the latter. The project, Atlas of Language Politics in Modern Central Europe, as conceived and initially conducted by Tomasz Kamusella, was launched in the academic year 2008/2009, in Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, thanks to a Research Funding Initiative grant from the Long Room Hub, and a Start-up grant from Trinity College’s Research and Innovation. A word of thanks also goes to Moray McGowan and Jason McElligott in Trinity’s Long Room Hub for their sustained encouragement and support. An idea of this Atlas budded in the wake of the publication of Kamusella’s exten- sive monograph The Politics of Language and Nationalism in Modern Central Europe (Palgrave 2009). The cartographic presentation of his findings from this work should make them more readily available to general public, due to the attractive and succinct form. The funding, which Kamusella could allocate from the two aforementioned grants for map-making, was not sufficient to entice any cartographer in Ireland to under- take such a commission.
