    Permanent Mission of the Republic of Croatia EF.DEL/10/07/Corr.1 to the International Organizations in Vienna 23 January 2007 ENGLISH only Statement made by Mr. Zdravko KRMEK, State Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management (Session IV of the 15th OSCE Economic and Environmental Forum, Vienna, 23 January 2007) Mr. Chairman, in the framework of our today's discussion I would like to stress the importance of a consultation between neighbouring states and at the regional level when combating soil degradation in the aim to avoid social problems linked to sustainable development. The Republic of Croatia, as probably a number of other states who have been part of former federations or composite states, has interesting experience in the field: rivers or river basins of internal nature are now of international character. This requires a number of interstate agreements on integral water management. One of the best examples for good cooperation on the regional level is without any doubt the Framework Agreement in Sava River Basin signed in 2003 by four countries of the Former Yugoslav Federation: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia with the participation of international partners including the Stability Pact and the OSCE. This initiative is today better known as Sava River Initiative and the first experience shows that this is a very good basis for further cooperation between these four countries. With the Republic of Slovenia there is also the Agreement of Integral Water Management, signed in 1997, as well as with Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1996. With the Republic of Montenegro a preparation of such an agreement is in final phase, as well as with the Republic of Serbia.

  • Aquaculture Development in Bosnia and Herzegovina
    27 Aquaculture development in Bosnia and Herzegovina Jasmin Omeragić Veterinary Faculty Veterinary Faculty of the University of Sarajevo Zmaja od Bosne 90, 71000 Sarajevo Bosnia and Herzegovina [email protected] Omeragić, J. 2009. Aquaculture development in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In M.G. Bondad-Reantaso, J.R. Arthur and R.P. Subasinghe (eds). Strengthening aquaculture health management in Bosnia and Herzegovina. FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Technical Paper. No. 524. Rome, FAO. pp 27–33. ABSTRACT Bosnia and Herzegovina has a very long and rich tradition in aquaculture. Important advantages that the country possesses for the development of aquaculture include abundant clean water, high-quality, educated and cheap labour, high capability of fish processing factories, and the high quality of its hatcheries. Thanks to these and other factors, Bosnia and Herzegovina has a great potential for increasing national aquaculture production. During the war period of 1991–1995, the majority of the fish farms were destroyed along with their entire infrastructure. After the war, the process of privatization started, leading to an increase in fish production. The privatization of the fish farms, which since 1995 were in the possession of the State, has broadened the possibilities for aquaculture development in the country, including the use of new technologies, the expansion of capacity and the production of high-quality feeds. The export of fish and fish products from Bosnia and Herzegovina to European Union markets as officially permitted by EU Decision 2008/156/EC is the most important success of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s agriculture sector in the post-war period. INTRODUCTION Bosnia and Herzegovina is located in the Western Balkans region and has a total surface area of 51 209.2 km2, of which land accounts for 51 197 km2 and sea accounts for 12.2 km2.

  • On the Characteristics of Yugoslavian Rivers in Comparison with Japanese
    ENDINS, n." 13.1987. Ciutat de Mallorca. ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF YUGOSLAVIAN RIVERS IN COMPARISON WlTH JAPANESE RIVERS by Kazuo MITSUI * Abstract This article deals with the characteristics of rivers in Yugoslavia and Japan, based on the results of the field survey and the data observed by the Hidrometeorological Institutes, F.R. of Yugoslavia. Roughly speaking, the river systems in Yugoslavia are classified into two: the Danube (inclu- ding the Sava, the Drava, etc.), a long, gentle current, and the Neretva and the Vardar, relatively short, rapid ones. In the karst region, where the two river systerns mentioned above are included, many discontinued rivers are found. Seasonal changes of run-off amount of the rivers in Yugoslavia differ very much from those of Japan, which show maximums in the typhoon season in auturnn or in the baiu (rainy) season in early sumrner. In such rivers as the Sava and the Drava the coefficient of river regime is less than 30, and the level of water becomes higher in April through June due to melting of snow and from November to December by rainfall. The water level is the lowest in July and August. Because of the high seepage and flowing-out characteristics in the karst regions the run-off ra- tios of the rivers in Yugoslavia are relatively high, ranging approximately from 60 to 90 %; as an extreme case, the Una showc a value of 112 %. The velocity of floodwaves in the case of a great flood of the Sava, a tributary of the Danube, was 0.6-0.7 m/sec for a distance of 680 km.
