The HLC has monitored all war crimes trials conducted in the territory of Serbia during 2019, namely a total of 24 cases conducted before the War Crimes Departments of the Higher Court and the Court of Appeal in Belgrade. The Report provides a brief overview of all the cases and of the HLC’s basic findings in respect of proceedings which are of public relevance. A large number of the war crimes cases covered by this Report have been going on for a number of years now, so that previous HLC Reports on war crimes trials may also be consulted for a full grasp of the course of the proceedings and the relevant HLC findings. The Report focuses on the work of the Office of the War Crimes Prosecutor (OWCP) and the courts in sessions open to the public, primarily analysing the indictments and judgments in each particular case. An analysis of the work of other bodies involved in the prosecution of war crimes – the War Crimes Investigation Service of the Serbian Ministry of the Interior (MUP), the Witness Protection Unit and others, could not be undertaken in respect of the individual cases, as no information on their activities was publicly available. In the reporting period, the War Crimes Department of the Higher Court in Belgrade handed down first-instance judgments in eight cases.1 The War Crimes Department of the Court of Appeal in Belgrade handed down four judgments and one ruling, two of the judgments and the ruling being on 7 appeals lodged against judgments of the Higher Court in Belgrade,2 and the two other judgments on appeals against judgments of the Court of Appeal in Belgrade in proceedings in which the Department decided at third instance.3 Over the reporting period, the OWCP filed three indictments against three individuals.4 Since it began working in 2003 until the end of 2019, the OWCP brought indictments in 76 war crimes cases, indicting a total of 198 persons and encompassing 2,454 victims who lost their lives. Three of the cases were joined with cases instituted earlier, and final rulings were rendered in 49 out of 73 cases; one case was terminated on account of the death of the defendant; in three cases the indictments were dismissed because the defendants had been found unfit to stand trial; and 20 cases are ongoing. In those cases which have been finally concluded, a total of 70 defendants have been convicted and 52 acquitted. Also, indictments were dismissed against 20 out of the total number of the accused, either on account of their incapacity to stand trial, or because proceedings were terminated on account of their deaths. In the finally concluded cases, the indictments listed a total of 925 victims 1 The Lovas, Trnje, Bosanski Petrovac – Gaj, Bratunac, Brčko, Ključ – Rejzovići,Bosanska Krupa II Cases and Gornje Nerodimlje 2 Judgments were rendered in the Ključ – Šljivari and Bosanska Krupa Cases, and the Ruling in the Bosanski Petrovac – Gaj Case. 3 TheKljuč –Kamičak and Skočić Cases. 4 Indictment KTO 1/19 of 10 May 2019 against Dalibor Maksimović, Indictment KTO 2/19 of 26 September 2019 against Dalibor Krstović, Indictment KTO 3/19 of 3 July 2019 against

Cobitis ohridana and Barbatula zetensis in the River Moraèa basin, Montenegro: distribution, habitat, population structure and conservation needs. Folia biol. (Kraków) 51(Suppl.): 147-153. In this paper, we report on the distribution, habitat, population structure and conservation needs of Cobitis ohridana and Barbatula zetensis in the basin of the River Moraèa in Montenegro. Our data show both species to be mainly distributed in the lower stretch of the main river and some tributaries in lowland habitats. Cobitis ohridana preferred more shallow water with a higher abundance of filamentous algae, while Barbatula zetensis was more numerous in slightly deeper water with more stones as a bottom substrate. Slight differences in the habitat preference were also observed between juveniles and adults in both species. Although both species are abundant in suited habitat, they have a small distribution area in the Moraèa basin due to the natural rarity of the habitat. According to our data, they are not endangered. Key words: Balitoridae, Cobitidae, Mediterranean, conservation, habitat preferences, outecology.

  • Podgorice, Grade Moj Radile: Popovic Mia, Minic Jana Ix-F Podgorica
    PODGORICE, GRADE MOJ RADILE: POPOVIC MIA, MINIC JANA IX-F PODGORICA . Ime Pogorica dobila je po brdu Gorica, u čijem se podnozju nalazi. Nekoliko puta ime grada je mijenjano: od Birziminijuma i Alate u robovlasničkom poretku, preko predfeudalnog – Ribnica, te feudalnog, našeg i turskog, Podgorica, sve do 1946 kada je ponijela ime Josipa Broza – Tita, tadašnjeg revolcuionara i predsjednika SFRJ i dobila naziv Titograd. 1992 godine Titogradu je vraćeno ime Podgorica, koje i danas nosi. 2 SIMBOLI PODGORICE - Zastava Podgorice, zajedno sa grbom, je simbol grada Podgorice, glavnog grada Crne Gore. Trenutna zastava je na snazi od 2006. godine. Zastava je bijele osnove, sa dvije horizontalne i jednom prelomljenom plavom prugom. Pruge predstavljaju Duklju i Meteon. Metaforički, one predstavljaju temelj današnje Podgorice. Treća, prelomljena linija, predstavlja arhitektonske simbole Podgorice, odnosto most Millenium. - Grb Podgorice je zvanični grb crnogorskog glavnog grada Podgorice, koji je usvojen 30. marta 2006. godine. Autor grba je Srđan Marlović. - Srebrna boja štita predstavlja vodu. Među svim karakteristikama Glavnog grada, najvažnije je bogatstvo vodom (6 reka i Skadarsko jezero, najveće jezero na Balkanu). -Bedemska kruna predstavlja Podgoricu kao glavni grad. - Dva srebrna lava koji pridržavaju grb uzeti su sa najstarijeg poznatog grba Podgorice, onog kojeg je koristio Božidar Vuković-Podgoričanin. - Vinova loza ispod štita i njegovih držača predstavlja vinograde po kojima je podgorički kraj poznat. - Cenar grba ima isti dizajn kao zastava, samim tim I znacenje. 3 OSNOVNE GEOGRAFSKE KARAKTERISTIKE PODGORICE Podgorica je smještena u centralnom dijelu Crne Gore, u predjelu ispresijecanom riječnim koritima. Rijeke Morača i Ribnica protiču kroz sam grad, dok Zeta, Cijevna, Sitnica i Mareza protiču u njegovoj neposrednoj blizini.

  • Bosnia and Herzegovina
    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.

THE CASE OF KOSOVO AND METOHIA Just as everyone could sense that the end of the horrifying conflict of the early 1990s was coming to an end, another one was heating up in the Yugoslav kitchen. Kosovo is located in the southern part of former Yugoslavia, in an area that had been characterized by hostility and hatred practically ‘since the beginning of time.’ The reason for such mixed negative feelings came due to the confusion about who should have the final say in the governing of the Kosovo principality.
