  • Split & Central Dalmatia
    © Lonely Planet Publications 216 Split & Central Dalmatia Central Dalmatia is the most action-packed, sight-rich and diverse part of Croatia, with dozens of castles, fascinating islands, spectacular beaches, dramatic mountains, quiet ports and an emerg- ing culinary scene, not to mention Split’s Diocletian Palace and medieval Trogir (both Unesco World Heritage sites). In short, this part of Croatia will grip even the most picky visitor. The region stretches from Trogir in the northwest to Ploče in the southeast. Split is its largest city and a hub for bus and boat connections along the Adriatic coast. The rugged DALMATIA DALMATIA 1500m-high Dinaric Range provides the dramatic background to the region. SPLIT & CENTRAL SPLIT & CENTRAL Diocletian’s Palace is a sight like no other (a Roman ruin and the living soul of Split) and it would be a cardinal Dalmatian sin to miss out on the sights, bars, restaurants and general buzz inside it. The Roman ruins in Solin are altogether a more quiet, pensive affair, while Trogir is a tranquil city that’s preserved its fantastic medieval sculpture and architecture. Then there is Hvar Town, the region’s most popular destination, richly ornamented with Renais- sance architecture, good food, a fun atmosphere and tourists – who are in turn ornamented with deep tans, big jewels and shiny yachts. Let’s not forget the coastline: you can choose from the slender and seductive Zlatni Rat on Brač, wonderful beaches in Brela on the Makarska Riviera, secluded coves on Brač, Šolta and Vis, or gorgeous (and nudie) beaches on the Pakleni Islands off Hvar.

  • 2Nd International Conference “Alpine-Petrol'2012” HISTORY of OIL and GAS PRODUCTION in the CROATIAN PART of the PANNONIAN B
    2nd International Conference “Alpine-Petrol'2012” HISTORY OF OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION IN THE CROATIAN PART OF THE PANNONIAN BASIN SYSTEM Josipa VELIĆ1, Tomislav MALVIĆ1,2 and Marko CVETKOVIĆ1 1Department of Geology and Geological Engineering, University of Zagreb, Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering, Pierottijeva 6, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia; [email protected] 2Sector for Geology and Reservoir Management, INAIndustry of Oil Plc., Exploration and Production of Oil and Gas, Šubićeva 29, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia Introduction On the basis of historical data, Croatia belongs to the first few pioneer countries in the world in which oil accumulations were researched and produced in the middle of the 19th century. Earlier oil production was only recorded in Russia, France, Romania and Germany. Application of oil in industrial purposes has a long tradition in Croatia, e.g. applications in medicinal preparations were recorded as early as in 14th and 15th century as “asphalt and petroleum”. More intense exploitation began just before the 2nd World war. Geological outline The Pannonian Basin System (PBS) is a back arc basin system that belongs to an area in the past covered by the Central Paratethys, and younger brackish and fresh-water environments formed from Paratethys. Inside PBS, numerous basins, depressions and subdepressions were formed along dextral and sinistral strike-slip faults. The area of the PBS in Croatian part is divided into the Drava, Sava, Mura, and Slavonija-Srijem depresions (Fig. 1A). The general evolution of their depositional environments, transport mechanisms, tectonics and dominant lithologies is very similar. Basin infill is manly comprised of Neogene-Quaternary rocks: breccia, conglomerates, sandstones, marls, shales, biogene limestones and efusives (1st megacycle – Lower and Middle Miocene), sandstones and marls (2nd megacycle – Upper Miocene) and clays, sands, loess and gravel (3rd megacycle – Pliocene, Pleistocene and Holocene) (Velić et al., 2002).

  • Oliver JENS SCHMITT Institut Ftir Osteuropaische Geschichte Wien Austria MICRO-HISTORY and LEBENSWELTEN AS APPROACHES to LATE ME
    Y,[(K: 94:327](497.13 Kop'lyna:450.341 )" 15" Oliver JENS SCHMITT Institut ftir Osteuropaische Geschichte Wien Austria MICRO-HISTORY AND LEBENSWELTEN AS APPROACHES TO LATE MEDIEVAL DALMATIAN HISTORY. A CASE STUDY OF KORCULN Abstract: The article discusses micro-history as approach for analyzing the question of Venetian rule in Late Medieval Dalmatia. Thick description of local conflicts on the island of Korcula reveals a complex network of personal economic and political dependencies and demonstrates the limits ofVenetian power. Key Words: Dalmatia, Venice, Korcula, Micro-History While most medievalists dealing with Late Medieval Southeastern Europe are trained to analyze in detail a rather restricted number of docu­ ments which were actually produced in the region (this observation does, obviously, not concern Dubrovnik), relying usually heavily on a documentation from outside the area or even stemming from later periods, the archive of Korcula represents the very rare example of an almost complete source collection of a minor island at the crossroads of the Balkans and the East Mediterranean world. This paper discusses the question whether some methods of the so called New Cultural History help analyzing the Korculan society of the 15th century. It is divided into several steps: 1. It will try to give a short methodological overview of the methods in question 2. It will describe in a few words the political and social framework of the Korculan society at the eve of the Venetian domination ' This article was read as a paper at the University of Belgrade in October 2009; it was probably one of the last lectures Sima Cirkovic could attend.

  • (Annelida : Clitellata) on Freshwater Crayfish in Croatia
    Ann. Limnol. - Int. J. Lim. 2006, 42 (4), 251-260 Occurrence of Branchiobdellida (Annelida : Clitellata) on freshwater crayfish in Croatia G.I.V. Klobucar√1*, I. Maguire1, S. Gottstein1, S. R. Gelder2 1 Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, Rooseveltov trg 6, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia 2 Department of Science and Math, University of Maine at Presque Isle, 181 Maine Street, Maine 04769, USA There is very little information on the genus Branchiobdella and the species relationships with their freshwater crayfish hosts in Croatia. Therefore, a base-line study was needed so that future changes in available habitat brought about by urban development and the probable introduction of non-native species can be accurately assessed. This investigation used preserved freshwater crayfish collected from across Croatia between 1995 and 2005 as its source of the ectosymbionts. Crayfish species included Astacus astacus, A. leptodactylus, Austropotamobius pallipes, A. torrentium, and the allochtonous North American species, Orconectes limosus. Only native European species of branchiobdellids were found: Branchiobdella astaci, B. parasita, B. pentodonta, B. hexodonta, B. italica, and B. balcanica, and this is the first report on the occurrence of these species, apart from B. italica, in Croatia. The distribution of these branchiobdellidans is compared with climatic and river drainage systems, and literature reports of populations in other countries in the region. Keywords: Branchiobdellidans, distribution, epibionts, freshwater crayfish, Croatia. Introduction stated the name balcanica due to its seniority over Pop’s (1965) proposed orientalis.
