Guarantor: Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Beneficiary: Work Organization Agricultural Estate Semberija (W. 0. A. E. Semberija). Amount: US$34.6 million, equivalent in various currencies, including capitalized front end fee of US$511,330- Terms: Amortization in 15 years, including three years grace, with interest at 11.60%. Re-Lending Terms The proceeds of the Bank's loan (except for US$2.7 million for feasibility studies) would be on-lent to the beneficiary (who would bear the foreign exchange risk) at 11.60%, plus an 0.5% fee to cover PBS's administration costs. Project Description: The main objectives of the project are: (a) increasing and stabilizing crop production; (b) supplying raw materials for agro-based industries; (c) raising labor and land productivity; (d) helping reverse decline in agricultural trade balance; (e) improving agricultural services; and (f) reversing the trend of declining arable land. These would be achieved by providing land improvement and drainage facilities in an area of about 15,600 hectares, and land improvement without drainage over an additional area of about 3,500 hectares. The project would include: (a) extension of Seliste interceptor by about 8 kms; (b) reconstruction of about 14.5 kms of Sava river dike; (c) construction of sub-surface and surface drainage systems; (d) construction of one new pumping station, increasing capacity of an existing pumping station and repair of two pumping stations; (e) construction of about 170 kms of paved and unpaved roads; (f) land consolidation and on-farm development; (g) provision of equipment for project operation and maintenance; (h) provision of farm equipment to intensify agriculture; (i) provision of equipment for agricultural extension and research ; and (j) feasibility studies for future land and water development projects in Socialist Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina (SRBH). This document has a restricted distribution and may be used by recipients only in the performance of their official duties. Its contents may not otherwise be disclosed without World Bank authorization. - 11 - Beneficiaries of the project would be some 4,700 farm families, all of which belong to the target group, with average per capita income of $440. Employment opportunities would increase by 25% in individual sector agriculture (about 650 new jobs). Direct employment from actual project works and future maintenance would create about 65 additional highly skilled and skilled jobs. The annual estimated gross value of production at full development would increase by about 200% (US$20.0 million) for the project as a whole. An estimated 15,000 tons of incremental wheat, 6,400 tons of maize and 170,800 tons of sugar beet, as well as increased production of various vegetables and fodder crops would result from the project. Foreign exchange earnings would result from increased production of maize and foreign exchange savings are expected from an increased self-sufficiency in wheat and industrial crops. The project faces no special risks. -----------(US$ Million)----- Estimated Cost: Local Foreign Total Seliste interceptor 0.3 0.3 0.6 Surface drainage 5.2 5.9 11.1 Sub-surface drainage 0.7 1.2 1.9 Pumping stations 1.5 2.3 3.8 Flood control works 2.3 3.0 5.3 Roads 2.5 2.6 5.1 On-farm development and miscellaneous works 3.4 4.1 7.5 Equipment for O&M 0.1 0.2 0.3 Farm Equipment 1.0 2.1 3.1 Land consolidation 2.3 - 2.3 Extension and research services 0.2 0.5 0.7 Engineering 0.5 1.6 2.1 Organization and management 0.4 - 0.4 Training of personnel - 0.2 0.2 Miscellaneous feasibility studies 0.3 1.7 2.0 20.7 25.7 46.4 - iii1 - - (US$ Million) ----------- Estimated Cost (cont.)

A Basic Economic Mission visited Yugoslavia in October and November 1976. Its report entitled, "Yugoslavia: Self-Management Socialism and the Challenges of Development", 1615a-YU, was distributed to the Executive Directors on April 5, 1978. An economic mission visited Yugoslavia in November, 1979; its report entitled "Yugoslavia: Export Performance and Policies", 2972-YU, was distributed to the Executive Directors on November 5, 1980. In November 1980 an economic mission visited Yugoslavia and its report entitled "Raising Productivity in Yugoslav Industry: Some Issues", 3383a-YU was distributed to the Executive Directors on August 3, 1981. Basic data on the economy are given in Annex I. Institutional Setting 3. The social sector in Yugoslavia, which includes government, enterprises and public institutions plays the leading role in economic and social development. It accounts for 85% of GDP and employs over half the total labor force. The private sector consists predominantly of peasant farms and small enterprises, mainly engaged in handicrafts, construction, trade, transport and tourism. Decision making at all levels is governed by the principle of workers' self-management, involving a unique set of institutions and instruments of economic policy. The current system has evolved over the years with major changes introduced through the constitution of 1974. Responsibility for important social and economic decisions has been shifted from the Federation to the Republics, autonomous provinces and Communes. Concurrently, the control of workers' collectives over the socially-owned means of production has been increased by a 1/ Part I of this report is substantially unchanged from Part I of the Report and Recommendation of the President for the Sixth Industrial Credit Project (Report No. P-3188-YU) of April 2, 1982. -2- restructuring of all economic organizations into legally autonomous Basic Organizations of Associated Labor (BOALs) which are the smallest production units producing a marketable output. 4. In addition to this strengthening of workers' participation at the microeconomic level, the concept of workers' management has been extended to encompass macroeconomic decisions. A set of instruments called social compacts and self-management agreements have gradually become a part of the system of macroeconomic management. These measures enable the participation of all economic agents in the formulation of macroeconomic policy while maintaining decentralized responsibility for policy implementation.

  • The War in Bosnia and Herzegovina Or the Unacceptable Lightness of “Historicism”
    The War in Bosnia and Herzegovina Or the Unacceptable Lightness of “Historicism” Davor Marijan War Museum, Zagreb, Republic of Croatia Abstract The author in this study does not intend to provide a comprehensive account of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in part because the cur- rent level of research does not enable this. The only way to understand this conflict is through facts, not prejudices. However, such prejudices are particularly acute amongst Muslim-Bosniac authors. They base their claims on the notion that Serbs and Croats are the destroyers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and that both are equally culpable in its destruction. Relying on mainly unpublished and uncited documents from the three constitutive nations of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the author factually chal- lenges basic and generally accepted claims. The author offers alternative responses to certain claims and draws attention to the complexity of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has been mainly viewed in terms of black or white. The author does, however, suggest that in considering the character of the war it is necessary to examine first the war in Croatia and the inter-relationship between the two. The main focus is on 1992 and the Muslim and Croat differences that developed into open conflict at the beginning of 1993. The role of the international community in the war and the partition of Bosnia and Herzegovina are also discussed. At the end of the 20th century in Europe and the eclipse of Communism from the world political scene, it is not easy to trace the indelible marks left behind after the collapse of Yugoslavia and the wars that ensued.

  • Climate As a Factor of Development of Recreational Tourism of North-Eastern Bosnia
    Acta geographica Bosniae et Herzegovinae 11; 2019; (23-34) Original scientific paper __________________________________________________________________________________ CLIMATE AS A FACTOR OF DEVELOPMENT OF RECREATIONAL TOURISM OF NORTH-EASTERN BOSNIA Fadila Kudumović Dostović, Semir Ahmetbegović i Željka Stjepić Srkalović University of Tuzla, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Department of Geography Univerzitetska 4, 75000 Tuzla, Bosna i Hercegovina [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Recreational activities and movements in most regions are characterized by pronounced seasonality, i.e., concentration on the summer and winter season. This primarily refers to the extremely mountainous and coastal regions that are recognizable mainly for ski tourism or bathing tourism. However, the regions without a recognizable "tourist identity" with an attractive natural base and many potentials, especially climate, such as Northeast Bosnia have the opportunity to develop different forms of recreational tourism (sports - recreational, excursion - recreational, health - recreational) in individual parts throughout the year. The favorability of climatic predispositions of Northeast Bosnia is highlighted by the results of analyzes which show that during the year there are neither adverse nor impossible climatic conditions for the development of different forms of recreational tourism. High quality active outdoor activities in the spring and autumn months are usually carried out through

  • THE POSAVINA BORDER REGION of CROATIA and BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA: DEVELOPMENT up to 1918 (With Special Reference to Changes in Ethnic Composition)
    THE POSAVINA BORDER REGION OF CROATIA AND BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA: DEVELOPMENT UP TO 1918 (with special reference to changes in ethnic composition) Ivan CRKVEN^I] Zagreb UDK: 94(497.5-3 Posavina)''15/19'':323.1 Izvorni znanstveni rad Primljeno: 9. 9. 2003. After dealing with the natural features and social importance of the Posavina region in the past, presented is the importance of this region as a unique Croatian ethnic territory during the Mid- dle Ages. With the appearance of the Ottomans and especially at the beginning of the 16th century, great ethnic changes oc- cured, primarily due to the expulsion of Croats and arrival of new ethnic groups, mostly Orthodox Vlachs and later Muslims and ethnic Serbs. With the withdrawal of the Ottomans from the Pannonian basin to the areas south of the Sava River and the Danube, the Sava becomes the dividing line creating in its border areas two socially and politically different environments: the Slavonian Military Frontier on the Slavonian side and the Otto- man military-frontier system of kapitanates on the Bosnian side. Both systems had a special influence on the change of ethnic composition in this region. With the withdrawal of the Ottomans further towards the southeast of Europe and the Austrian occu- pation of Bosnia and Herzegovina the Sava River remains the border along which, especially on the Bosnian side, further changes of ethnic structure occured.

One may, without any further elaboration, say that Bosnia formed the periphery of both the Byzantine Empire, and Western Europe (first the Frankish and then the Hungarian state). Bosnia was far away from the most important communication line of the Balkans: the valleys of the rivers Morava and Vardar, Via militaris and also those of the rivers Ibar and Sitnica. The axis of the Bosnian state was the valley of the river Bosna, but not of the Drina ill suited for 1 communication with it steep banks and many canyons. * The author wishes to thank Prof. J.

    Bosnia and Herzegovina Haris Kušmić interviewed Jovan Divjak Interview date: 7 August 2019 Kušmić: Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am Haris Kušmić, currently working with the WFD [Westminster Foundation for Democracy]. I am interviewing Mr Jovan Divjak, whose biography I cannot possibly fit into a few opening sentences. Let me instead say something I have said before in conversation with him: that he is someone who has built and defended and given everything he had to this country in periods of both war and peace. Mr Divjak, thank you very much for inviting me here and giving me an opportunity to interview you. Unlike other interviews, the questions here may relate more to your personality. We are certainly going to touch on things that you have gone through, that the general public is familiar with, but the goal of this interview is to try and see Jovan Divjak as Jovan Divjak: you as a person, things you have gone through in your life, from childhood on—which may well be appropriate, as you are working on your book. We hope you will succeed in publishing it. Divjak: And its title is “Do Not Shoot.” Kušmić: And its title is “Do Not Shoot.” Exactly. Well, we can begin with your early life, when you were a child. Could you perhaps tell me something about your childhood? Divjak: Well, my childhood is somewhat fresh in my memory as I often write and speak about it in interviews. I begin with the story of me bringing my parents joy on 11 March 1937.

Ross Johnson Brendan Simms Principal author Matjaž Klemenčič acknowledges the extensive input by team members, including several pages of text contributed by Marko Attila Hoare, Charles Ingrao and Albert Bing. Funding from the National Endow- ment for Democracy and the Slovenian Research Council facilitated Prof. Klemenčič’s research, including numerous interviews with Slovenian gov- ernment officials and former U.S. Secretary of State James Baker. Profs. Klemenčič and Dušan Janjić assumed team leadership from John A. Fine (2001-2003) in order to streamline the team’s internet commu- nication. An initial draft was submitted for project-wide review in Novem- ber 2003, which mandated considerable expansion in the chapter’s length and research base. Although the text was adopted following project-wide review in April 2005, further revisions were undertaken in 2008 to address concerns raised by two of the four outside referees in 2010, to accommodate constructive criticism raised in book reviews, and again in 2012 to incorpo- rate new evidence of U.S. and NATO complicity in avoiding the arrest of ICTY indictees. The chapter cites several confidential interviews conducted by SI scholars with several current and former officials from the U.S. State De- partment and IFOR military; in each case their identities have been recorded and stored in the Purdue University archives for later release, upon request, consistent with terms negotiated with each individual.
