Balkan Wars Between the Lines: Violence and Civilians in Macedonia, 1912-1918

ABSTRACT Title of Document: BALKAN WARS BETWEEN THE LINES: VIOLENCE AND CIVILIANS IN MACEDONIA, 1912-1918 Stefan Sotiris Papaioannou, Ph.D., 2012 Directed By: Professor John R. Lampe, Department of History This dissertation challenges the widely held view that there is something morbidly distinctive about violence in the Balkans. It subjects this notion to scrutiny by examining how inhabitants of the embattled region of Macedonia endured a particularly violent set of events: the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 and the First World War. Making use of a variety of sources including archives located in the three countries that today share the region of Macedonia, the study reveals that members of this majority-Orthodox Christian civilian population were not inclined to perpetrate wartime violence against one another. Though they often identified with rival national camps, inhabitants of Macedonia were typically willing neither to kill their neighbors nor to die over those differences. They preferred to pursue priorities they considered more important, including economic advancement, education, and security of their properties, all of which were likely to be undermined by internecine violence. National armies from Balkan countries then adjacent to geographic Macedonia (Bulgaria, Greece, and Serbia) and their associated paramilitary forces were instead the perpetrators of violence against civilians. In these violent activities they were joined by armies from Western and Central Europe during the First World War. Contrary to existing military and diplomatic histories that emphasize continuities between the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 and the First World War, this primarily social history reveals that the nature of abuses committed against civilians changed rapidly during this six-year period.

Monitoring and Assessment of Nutrient Removal Capacities of Riverine Wetlands

UNDP/GEF Danube Regional Project Strengthening the Implementation Capacities for Nutrient Reduction and Transboundary Cooperation in the Danube River Basin Monitoring and Assessment of Nutrient Removal Capacities of Riverine Wetlands Project Component 4.3: Monitoring and Assessment of Nutrient Removal Capacities of Riverine Wetlands January, 2004 Prepared by: WWF International Danube-Carpathian Programme David Tickner, Thomas Hein, Helmut Kroiss, Jan Seffer, Philip Weller, Susanna Wiener, Isabel Wolte, Matthias Zessner PREFACE The long term goal of the DRP is, in short, to strengthen capacities of key Danube stakeholders and institutions to effectively and sustainably manage the Danube River Basin’s water resources and ecosystems for citizens of Danube countries. It is increasingly recognized that wetlands and floodplains provide important benefits both environmental as well as socio-economic. Wetlands and floodplains can be important for flood protection, tourism, fisheries, nature protection as well as for water quality. To some degree, wetlands and floodplains may serve as either a sink or a storage area for pollutants. Given that nutrient pollution is one of the most important transboundary problems within the DRB and the Black Sea ecosys tems, it is critical to know under what conditions such benefits as pollution reduction can be optimized (and at what cost.) A study supported by UNDP/GEF during the UNDP/GEF Pollution Reduction Programme (1997- 1999) carried out by WWF determined that over 80% of wetlands and floodplains have been lost during the last 100 years. Given this, there are many considerations to initiate wetland floodplain rehabilitation activities. Important to know is what are the benefits for rehabilitating a wetland/floodplain area (weighed against the costs!) The purpose of this assignment was to identify and develop appropriate methodologies for assessing nutrient removal in wetland areas.

EUROPEAN UNION EUROPEAN REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT FUND INVESTING IN YOUR FUTURE! RELIGIOUS TOURISM IN THE CROSS-BORDER REGION ROMANIA-BULGARIA GUIDE BULGARIA 3 4 VIDIN DISTRICT Introduction Vidin district is located in the northwest of Bulgaria, on the border with Serbia (west) and Romania (northeast). The district has an area of 3,032 km2, representing 2.73% of the total area of the country. Vidin has the lowest number of inhabitants / km2 compared to other districts in Bulgaria, the population of the area being 86,927 inhabitants in 2018, according to Eurostat. The district is structured into 10 municipalities on the territory of which 7 cities were constituted - the administrative center is Vidin city located on the Danube river bank. Vidin district has a rich and turbulent history, considering its strategic and geographical importance for the consolidation and deﬁnition of the Bulgarian state since the Middle Ages, the territory being a military, transport and commercial center for over 2,000 years. Thus on its territory there are numerous archaeological remains, among the most famous being the Baba Vida Fortress (the only medieval castle in Bulgaria fully preserved, over 2,000 years old), the Castra Martis Fortress (built during the Roman and Byzantine periods, centuries I-VI), the Kaleto Fortress (among the best preserved fortresses in Bulgaria), the ruins of the Roman city Ratiaria (an important gold trading center). The Regional History Museum in Vidin is also an important element of cultural and historical heritage. In the Vidin district numerous pilgrimages can be made, the most famous places of religious worship located in this area being Albotina Monastery in the Danube Plain (dug in the rock), Monastery "The Assumption of the Virgin Mary" (in whose courtyard there is a spring with curative properties).
