Following global changes, Croatia is experiencing increasing problems due to the introduction of new species that include aliens (due to aquaculture activities and ship- ping) and species from other Mediterranean subregions that are extending their geographic range. This work provides a checklist of introduced species in Croatian waters. A total of 113 species (15 phytoplankton, 16 zooplankton, 16 macroalgae, 44 zoobenthic and 22 fish species) have been recorded in the eastern part of the Adriatic Sea, of which 61 species are alien and 52 introduced, due to climate change.

  • Croatia Maritime Border Dispute
    UNDER THE ISTRIAN SUN: NAVIGATING INTERNATIONAL LAW SOLUTIONS FOR THE SLOVENIA- CROATIA MARITIME BORDER DISPUTE CHRISTOPHER M. HARTLEY* ABSTRACT Twenty-eight years after Slovenia and Croatia exited the Federation of Yugoslavia on the eve of its bloody civil war, the two countries are still plagued by a maritime border dispute in the northern Adriatic Sea.1 Given that the countries were not in conflict with each other during the war, and given their similar goals for integration into the greater European and international communities, it is perplexing that they have not been able to resolve this dispute. The Bay of Piran (or, Piran Bay), located in the narrow Gulf of Trieste at the land border of the two countries and having a unique, heavily indented geography, is ground zero of this dispute.2 The pivotal issues are sovereign control of the bay itself and access for Slovenian vessels to international waters, a concept that is foreclosed under traditional law of the sea maritime border principles given the constraints of the bay and Slovenia’s miniscule coastline.3 *Assistant Professor, Department of Law, United States Military Academy, West Point. The author is an active duty Army Judge Advocate. The author was a United States military liaison to the Republic of Slovenia’s Ministry of Defense from October 1995 through July 1996. Numerous visits to the Slovenian and Istrian region since his residence there help broaden his unique perspective about this dispute. The views expressed here are the author’s personal views and do not necessarily reflect those of the Department of Defense, the United States Army, the United States Military Academy, or any other department or agency of the United States Government.

This article will highlight the potential for resort developments but also the possible downsides. Country Snapshot The Republic of Croatia is a central European and a Mediterranean Croatia country. It borders Slovenia to the west, Hungary to the north, Serbia to the east and Bosnia-Herzegovina to the south. Croatia has a long coastline on the Adriatic Sea, and its borders total 2,028 km.

  • Claiming and Crossing Borders: a View on the Slovene-Croatian
    https://doi.org/10.5559/di.25.4.01 CLAIMING AND CROSSING BORDERS: A VIEW ON THE SLOVENE-CROATIAN BORDER DISPUTE Renata JAMBREŠIĆ KIRIN Institute of Ethnology and Folklore, Zagreb Domagoj RAČIĆ Knowledge Network, Zagreb UDK: 330.52(497.4:497.5) 339.13(497.4:497.5) 341.722(497.4:497.5):33 Izvorni znanstveni rad Primljeno: 24. 7. 2015. Authors undertake the analysis of border disputes between Slovenia and Croatia as an example of socioeconomic processes typical of the European semi-periphery. The disputes over territorial claims and the acquisitions of Slovenian companies by their Croatian competitors are viewed as complementary processes of claiming and crossing borders, which are based on different notions of (national) sovereignty. The idea of sovereignty as control over territory is transformed and complemented into the notion of sovereignty as national ownership and control over economic assets. Cross-border takeover is thus interpreted as losing sovereignty over the national economy. The dispute over territorial claims has been since 2009 gradually replaced by media-covered business and financial transactions between major national companies (e.g. the case of Agrokor and Mercator). At the same time, borders are circumvented by wider processes of market consolidation and capital accumulation to which EU integration served as a facilitator. This places the issue of physical borders and territorial sovereignty as well as economic sovereignty largely into the symbolic arena. Keywords: Croatian-Slovenian border disputes, border studies, transitional economy, European semi-periphery Renata Jambrešić Kirin, Institute of Ethnology and Folklore, Šubićeva 42, 10 000 Zagreb, Croatia. 433 E-mail: renata @ief.hr INTRODUCTION The paper 1 tackles the constitution of borders at the Euro- pean semi-periphery, using the example of Slovenia and Cro- atia.

  • Bay of Piran Or Bay of Savudrija
    A Mediterranean Example of Problematic Treatment of Geographical Names: Piranski zaliv (Bay of Piran) or Savudrijska vala (Bay of Savudrija)? Drago Kladnik, Milan Orožen Adamič, Primož Pipan ABSTRACT: The established geographical name Bay of Piran refers to the largest bay in the Gulf of Trieste at the extreme north end of the Adriatic Sea. After the collapse of Yugoslavia and the emergence of independent countries demarcated along the borders of the former Yugoslav republics, the previously undemarcated body of water between Slovenia and Croatia became the focus of a border dispute between the two countries. The name ‘Bay of Piran’ (Sln. Piranski zaliv, Cro. Piranski zaljev) is derived from the Italian name Vallone di Pirano ‘Bay of Piran’, which replaced the Italian name Valle di Sicciole ‘Bay of Sečovlje’ (as well as Ital. Valle di Siciole, Sln. Sečoveljski zaliv) a century and half ago. Since 2000 there have been Croatian attempts to establish the completely new name ‘Bay of Savudrija’ (Cro. Savudrijska vala, Sln. Savudrijski zaliv). KEYWORDS: geographical names, sea name, border conflict, Mediterranean Sea, Adriatic Sea, Piranski zaliv, Piranski zaljev, Savudrijska vala ADDRESSES: Drago Kladnik Anton Melik Geographical Institute Scientific Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts Gosposka ulica 13, SI-1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia E-mail: [email protected] Milan Orožen Adamič Anton Melik Geographical Institute Scientific Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts Gosposka ulica 13, SI-1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia E-mail: [email protected] Primož Pipan Anton Melik Geographical Institute Scientific Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts Gosposka ulica 13, SI-1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia E-mail: [email protected] 1 Introduction Geographical names for regions, bodies of water, relief forms, and parcels of land, administrative units, and local features that form the basis for the names of inhabitants are unique spiritual, cultural, social, historical, and political indicators.

The Eulerian residual velocity field of the calibrated model was checked for the mixing efficiency of tides in the northern Adriatic Sea. It is shown through the simulation of tides for the period of one half year that tides are too weak to mix the whole water column (at any time within this period), even in front of the promontories (e.g. the Po river outlet). The model resolution (556 m) allowed analysis of the tidal dynamics in smaller regions. In the Gulf of Trieste the model results are in satisfactory agreement with the current-meter observations for winter 1984-85 and spring 1985. It is shown that in the middle of the entrance to the gulf the sense of rotation of the tidal ellipse vector changes from a clockwise rotation at the southern part of the entrance to an anticlockwise rotation at the northern part of entrance. Tidal currents in the interior of the gulf rotate counterclockwise, while in small bays, and in front of them, the rotation is clockwise.
