This survey represents some characteristics of this category of people as is the life expectancy, the way of living, feeding, demographic, health and social data, territorial scope as well as other characteristics. At the same time, this survey indicates the life expectancy by considering conditions and circumstances that elderly people of Kosovo lived and are living nowadays. In the lack of information about persons in this age in Kosovo from previous years, we were not able to make comparisons from the view of years – flow and results. But the survey used some world data on life expectancy in order to make some comparisons with this part of population in Kosovo. The data on the survey were released by the family members of the elderly persons. Elderly persons were asked of their valid ID or any other ID document as a proof, they were registered in the list; the ID document or any other ID document was photocopied or photographed. Data were collected by using questionnaire form by direct interview with the elderly persons and their family members. Processing and analyzing of the data was conducted based on the administrative data, field work, the evidence and the statements (given by elderly persons themselves and/or relatives) provided by the SOK teams in the field. The implementation of this project faced some difficulties and also required some additional work in order to accomplish this initiative; working groups were established in order to identify persons, and collect, process and analyze the data. Project was developed in a voluntarily bases by the SOK staff without any financial support, stimulation resources, without sufficient and necessary logistic support to develop the activities of the survey and overtime work had to be applied – including weekends - in order to finalize the survey. Despite these difficulties, the project ended successfully. Due to the lack of the advanced statistical system, and despite the engagement of the SOK staff and population awareness, there is a chance that it might be that some elder persons (100+ years of age) are not included in this survey therefore we apologize and ask for understanding and, at the same time, we appeal the public to inform us for such a persons in order to have a better statistical data for this population. 5 Elderly persons in Kosovo aged 100 years and above Kosovo’s statistical system Statistical systems (statistical institutes), almost in all countries of the world, are constructed in a higher scale of the source of information (from population censuses, different registry books, from administrative or survey data) regarding the social-economic, demographic, educational, health, agriculture and other data. A pure authentic information system facilitates undertaking of the appropriate measures and establishes different social-economic policies in local and national level. Practically, it can be easily said that the developed countries do not draw or even undertake any development plan in the local level without any statistical data on that phenomenon while plans in the national level are not undertaken without detailed statistical data. The engagement of the staff and budgets is needed in order to develop such a system and to establish a sustainable statistical data base on development policies for social progress. The 21 century, by many researchers and scholars, is called the century of information. With its accurate, fast and easily approached information’s, the statistics have its important place and role in the state therefore some states turned their statistical institutes into the government bodies - ministry. Kosovo still lacks such a statistical data base that would help the Kosovo’s government itself, other governmental bodies, NGOs, scientists, researchers, international organizations, individuals, etc, in order to establish social-economic policies. Investments by the side of the Kosovo society towards establishing a statistical system is not sufficient yet. In this respect, Kosovo is still behind many countries in the region. Therefore, while these countries invest from 1 - 3 or even more Euros, in these last two years, Kosovo has invested only 0.24 Euros for head of inhabitant. By the European status, one (1) statistician is foreseen in 4.000 up to 6.000 inhabitants but in Kosovo this average is one (1) statistician in 18,650 inhabitants. This, by itself, means that Kosovo’s statistical system

  • Contribution to the Herpetofauna of Serbia - Distribution of Reptiles in Kosovo and Metohija Province
    UNIVERSITY THOUGHT doi:10.5937/univtho8-16981 Publication in Natural Sciences, Vol. 8, No. 2, 2018, pp. 1-6. Original Scientific Paper CONTRIBUTION TO THE HERPETOFAUNA OF SERBIA - DISTRIBUTION OF REPTILES IN KOSOVO AND METOHIJA PROVINCE LJILJANA TOMOVIĆ1*, MAGDALENA TIMOTIJEVIĆ2, RASTKO AJTIĆ3, IMRE KRIZMANIĆ1, NENAD LABUS2 1Institute of Zoology, Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia 2Faculty of Science and Mathematics, University of Priština, Kosovska Mitrovica, Serbia 3Institute for Nature Conservation of Serbia, Belgrade, Serbia ABSTRACT Kosovo and Metohija have already been recognized as regions with the highest diversity of reptiles in Serbia, where 92% (22 of 24) of existing reptile species can be found (Tomović et al., 2015a). First comprehensive contribution to herpetofauna of Kosovo and Metohija was provided by late Professor Gojko Pasuljević. In this study we present a complete dataset of distribution records for 13 most common reptile species in Kosovo and Metohija, including published and new distribution data compiled, and provide standardized 10 x 10 km UTM maps for these data. Results of this study include 1013 distribution records (278 new and 735 published data) for the following reptiles: Testudo hermanni, Ablepharus kitaibelii, Anguis fragilis, Lacerta agilis, Lacerta viridis, Podarcis muralis, Podarcis tauricus, Coronella austriaca, Dolichophis caspius, Natrix natrix, Natrix tessellata, Zamenis longissimus and Vipera ammodytes. The most widely distributed species, which occupy more than 50 UTM 10 x 10 km squares are: Podarcis muralis and Vipera ammodytes. Species with limited distribution which occupy less than 20 UTM 10 x 10 km are: Dolichophis caspius and Lacerta agilis. The largest numbers of new or confirmed literature data are recorded for: Anguis fragilis, Testudo hermanni and Vipera ammodytes.

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.

It contains 33 amphibian species collected mostly in the territory of the former SFR of Yugoslavia, particularly in Serbia. Key words: amphibians, collection INTRODUCTION Batrachological collection of the Institute for Biological research “Siniša Stanković”, Belgrade has a very long history. Some of the oldest specimens were collected more than a century ago, the oldest being from BULLETIN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, 2015, 8: 118-167. 119 1900. The important phase of collecting specimens was during late professor Milutin Radovanovic’s lifetime (1900–1968). His work in herpe- tology, including material that he collected, was foundation for the further work in herpetology in Serbia as well as the batrachological and herpetolo- gical collections. The material collected and organized by him, including valuable specimens of Ichtyosaura alpestris from Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina, was previously deposited in the collection of the Natural History Museum in Belgrade and later transferred to the Institute for Biological research “Siniša Stanković”.
