Divergence of Myrobalan (Prunus Cerasifera Ehrh.) Types on the Territory of Serbia
UDC 575: 634.22 Original scientific paper DIVERGENCE OF MYROBALAN (Prunus cerasifera Ehrh. ) TYPES ON THE TERRITORY OF SERBIA Dragan NIKOLI Ć and Vera RAKONJAC Faculty of Agriculture, Belgrade-Zemun, Serbia Nikoli ć D. and V. Rakonjac (2007): Divergence of myrobalan (Prunus cerasifera ehrh.) types on the territory of Serbia.. – Genetika, Vol. 39, No. 3, 333 - 342. Variability of some more prominent pomological characteristics was examined in three regions of Serbia (central, western, southern). In all the regions, significant variability of all studied characteristics was established. However, no specifics were manifested between regions, therefore, identical types emerge in all the regions. This is indicated by similar intervals of variation as well as similar mean values of characteristics per region. The obtained results lead to the conclusion that the entire territory of Serbia should be observed as a unique myrobalan population with highly expressed polymorphism of characteristics. To preserve genetic variability of myrobalan, collection is recommended for those types that were arranged into various groups and subgroups according to the results of cluster analysis. Key word: myrobalan, natural population, pomological characteristics, phenotypic variability ______________________________ Corresponding author: Dragan Nikoli ć, Faculty of Agriculture, Nemanjina 6, 11080 Belgrade-Zemun, Serbia, e-mail: [email protected] 334 GENETIKA, Vol. 39, No. 3, 333 -342, 2007. INTRODUCTION The myrobalan or cherry plum ( Prunus cerasifera Ehrh.) is native to southeastern Europe or southwestern Asia. Its seedlings are used for the most part as a rootstock for plum (W EINBERGER , 1975; E RBIL and S OYLU , 2002), but lesser for apricot (D IMITROVA and M ARINOV , 2002) and almond and peach (D UVAL et al ., 2004).

When Diplomats Fail: Aostrian and Rossian Reporting from Belgrade, 1914
WHEN DIPLOMATS FAIL: AOSTRIAN AND ROSSIAN REPORTING FROM BELGRADE, 1914 Barbara Jelavich The mountain of books written on the origins of the First World War have produced no agreement on the basic causes of this European tragedy. Their division of opinion reflects the situation that existed in June and July 1914, when the principal statesmen involved judged the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Habsburg throne, and its consequences from radically different perspectives. Their basic misunderstanding of the interests and viewpoints 'of the opposing sides contributed strongly to the initiation of hostilities. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the importance of diplomatic reporting, particularly in the century before 1914 when ambassadors were men of influence and when their dispatches were read by those who made the final decisions in foreign policy. European diplomats often held strong opinions and were sometimes influenced by passions and. prejudices, but nevertheless throughout the century their activities contributed to assuring that this period would, with obvious exceptions, be an era of peace in continental affairs. In major crises the crucial decisions are always made by a very limited number of people no matter what the political system. Usually a head of state -- whether king, emperor, dictator, or president, together with those whom he chooses to consult, or a strong political leader with his advisers- -decides on the course of action. Obviously, in times of international tension these men need accurate information not only from their military staffs on the state of their and their opponent's armed forces and the strategic position of the country, but also expert reporting from their representatives abroad on the exact issues at stake and the attitudes of the other governments, including their immediate concerns and their historical background.

The Bri in Europe and the Budapest-Belgrade Railway Link
Briefing Paper, 10/2019 THE BRI IN EUROPE AND THE BUDAPEST-BELGRADE RAILWAY LINK Flora Rencz Junior Researcher, EIAS October 2019 Abstract Increasing Chinese influence in Europe has been a growing source of anxiety in Brussels in recent years. This paper seeks to better understand these exacerbated fears through the case of the Budapest-Belgrade railway link refurbishment. The project is part of the 17+1 Cooperation and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). It had been announced in 2013 but was stalled on the Hungarian side until 2019 due to EU tender regulations. This paper provides an overview of the Budapest-Belgrade case’s timeline and details. It also analyses the challenges arising during the execution of the project, particularly focusing on political concerns from Brussels, feasibility issues, and the reception of the refurbishment by the Hungarian public. The paper also sheds light on how the project progressed differently on the Hungarian side as it did on the Serbian side as a non-EU member, due to the EU’s intervention. The railway link is a great case study to gain a better understanding of the BRI and the implications of China’s growing influence as a global actor for the EU and its neighbours. Briefing papers published by the European Institute for Asian Studies are summaries of facts which are related to a certain issue and often include a proposed course of action. This paper expresses the views of the author(s) and not of the European Institute for Asian Studies Introduction In November 2013, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dačić, and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced plans to modernise the railway link between Budapest and Belgrade.1 The project was retrospectively labelled part of China’s multilateral cooperation with the Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, the so-called 17+1 Cooperation (since Greece joined in 2019),2 hence making it a Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) project.

It Was February 10, 1942 in Belgrade, Serbia and My Grandmother
It was February 10, 1942 in Belgrade, Serbia and my grandmother, Katarina Korać, was born. World War II had started more than 2 years before and the country was in turmoil. She lived in a modest 3-bedroom house with her parents and eight siblings. From a young age, she dreamed about life and adventure beyond her city as the third of all eight children. She grew up helping her parents run the busy household and raise her younger siblings. She loved going to school because it was an escape from all the work at home. My grandmother was very active in school, participating in all sorts of activities including choir, student government and sports, and she was particularly good at handball. Her school was the champion handball team of the city, and it was through her sports activities that she met the love of her live, my grandfather Milo Petrović at age 15. Because of how young my grandmother was, she was forbidden from seeing my grandfather but she managed to find ways to see him a few minutes here and there every few months. Through this process and over the course of almost two years, they fell in love and decided to get married - my grandmother was 17 years old at the time. When they decided to get married, they went to a local judge to get a marriage license. At first, he was reluctant to give them the license because Katarina was so young. The only question he asked was whether she could cook for her husband.
