  • A Federalism for Bosnia
    A Federalism for Bosnia 14 January 2004, Transitions Online (www.tol.cz) The European Stability Initiative offers a thoughtful, though not radical, solution for reorganizing Bosnia. But can it work? by Valery Perry SARAJEVO, Bosnia and Herzegovina--The recent proposal from the European Stability Initiative (ESI) may not be as radical as its enticing title suggests, but it does deserve considered thought for its strengths and potential challenges to implementation. In “Making Federalism Work--A Radical Proposal for Practical Reform” (8 January 2004), ESI’s writers suggest that BiH be administratively organized in 12 cantons: the 10 cantons that currently comprise the largely Bosniak and Croat Federation entity, plus the Serb-dominated Republika Srpska entity and Brcko District. This would result in a more typical structure of governance based on three layers of government: the central government, 12 cantons, and their municipalities. This proposal, while useful for its straightforward nature, is not however, an entirely new concept, for its essence is based on the removal of the level of entity governance--in the Federation by dissolving the Federation structures entirely, and in the RS by establishing the current territory of the entity as one large canton that is equal in autonomy, rights and responsibilities as the other 11 proposed cantons. The two entity-levels of bureaucracy and expense have always been the problem in developing streamlined and logical governmental structures in BiH. They are also the unit of government with no parallel in other developed democracies. Calls for the disappearance of the entity structure of governance have come in various forms in the past: The Party for BiH’s (SBiH) 2000 campaign slogan “For a BiH without Entities” was perhaps the most blatant.

    Operation Performance Evaluation Review Environmental Analysis & Audit and Assistance with Restructuring - Regional Railway - Bosnia and Herzegovina (Public Sector Technical Cooperation Operations) September 2009 ab0cd OPERATION PERFORMANCE EVALUATION REVIEW (OPER) PREFACE This Evaluation Report The subject of this Operation Performance Evaluation Review (OPER) are the public sector Technical Cooperation (TC) operations “Environmental Analysis & Audit” and “Assistance with Restructuring”, which involved, on commitment basis, a funding of €30,000 and €300,000, respectively. The funding was provided under the Italian Central European Initiative (CEI) facility as part of the Bank’s Technical Cooperation Funds Programme (TCFP). The TCs were meant to facilitate the Bank’s loan “Bosnia and Herzegovina: Regional Railway Project” (BDS05-175), the Bank’s second loan in this transport sub-sector in the country. The OPER has been executed by Wolfgang Gruber, Senior Evaluation Manager. Josip Polic, Principal Banker of the Resident Office (RO) in Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) prepared the self-evaluation (TC) Project Completion Report (PCR) for the second TC; a PCR for the first-mentioned TC is not available. The operation team and other relevant Bank staff commented on an early draft of this report. The Basic Data Sheet on page [iii] of this report and the PCR in Appendix 4 are complementary to this OPER and designed to be read together. Information on the TC operations was obtained from relevant teams and departments of the Bank and its files as well as from external sector and industry sources. Fieldwork was carried out in June 2009. Appendix 1 presents a list of contacts. EvD would like to take this opportunity to thank those who contributed to the production of this report.

  • Chemistry Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina
    c e p s Journal | Vol.10 | No1 | Year 2020 83 doi: 10.26529/cepsj.715 Chemistry Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina Meliha Zejnilagić-Hajrić*1 and Ines Nuić2 • In this paper, the education system in Bosnia and Herzegovina is pre- sented in the light of current state-level legislation, with an emphasis on chemistry education at the primary, secondary and tertiary level. The consequences of the last war in our country still persist and are visible in many aspects of everyday life, including the education system, thus lim- iting the efforts of education professionals to follow international trends in education. There are three valid curricula for primary education at the national level, each of which differs in the national group of school subjects. Teaching methods are common for all three curricula and are mainly teacher-oriented. The situation is similar with regard to second- ary education. Study programmes at the university level are organised in accordance with the Bologna principles. The programmes are made by the universities themselves and approved by the corresponding ministry of education. Chemical education research in Bosnia and Herzegovina is mainly conducted at the University of Sarajevo. It deals with (1) the problems of experimental work in chemistry teaching, resulting in more than 60 experiments optimised for primary and secondary school, (2) integrating the knowledge of chemistry, physics and physical chemis- try for university students, with regard to students’ difficulties observed during university courses and potential solutions, and (3) the effective- ness of web-based learning material in primary school chemistry for the integration of macroscopic and submicroscopic levels.

  • Peacebuilding in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Mostar and Brčko
    Research and Information Service Briefing Note Paper 75/14 16 June 2014 NIAR 264a-14 Michael Potter Peacebuilding in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Mostar and Brčko 1 Introduction This Briefing Note supplements the Briefing Paper Peace Building Initiatives: Examples Outside Northern Ireland, 4 April 2014, prepared for the Committee for the Office of the First Minister and deputy First Minister in the context of scrutinising community relations policy in Northern Ireland. The Note briefly summarises approaches to post-conflict peacebuilding in two towns in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Mostar in the South-West and Brčko in the North-East. The two towns have been compared due to the different approaches to peacebuilding within one country in the transition from conflict. 2 Context: A Brief Summary of the Post-Conflict Arrangements in Bosnia and Herzegovina During the process of the break-up of Yugoslavia, the war commenced in Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of the constituent republics in the federation, following a declaration of independence in 1992. In broad terms, the conflict was generally depicted as one between the three main ethnic communities in the republic: Serbs, Croats and Muslims (later to be referred to as ‘Bosniaks’), although the actual conflict processes were more Providing research and information services to the Northern Ireland Assembly 1 NIAR 264a-014 Briefing Note complex than this.

  • Structural Analysis for the Reconstruction Design of the Old Bridge of Mostar
    Transactions on the Built Environment vol 66, © 2003 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 Structural analysis for the reconstruction design of the old bridge of Mostar M. Orlando, P. Spinelli & A. Vignoli Department of Civil Engineering, University of Florence, Italy Abstract The paper presents the structural analysis performed for the reconshuction design of the Old Bridge (Stari Most) of Mostar, in Bosnia Herzegovina. The bridge survived for more than 400 years, from 1566 till 1993, when it was destroyed by shelling, during the conflict between the Muslims of Bosnia and the Croats. The design was developed in 2000 and 2001 under the supervision of an International Commission of Experts. In the paper brief historical notices and information about topographic and geotechnical surveys and material tests are first given, then results of numerical analyses are presented. The main aim of the structural analysis was the assessment of the load bearing capacity of the bridge for all load cases prescribed by present European Recommendations. Numerical analyses allowed putting into evidence the excellent structural performance of the bridge. The fist stone of the bridge was laid on June 27,2002. 1 Introduction The Old Bridge of Mostar, an arch stone bridge with a span of about 29 m over the Neretva Rwer (Figure l), will be rebuilt with the same shape and dimensions and using the same construction techniques. The bridge was designed by the Ottoman architect Mimar Hayruddin and its construction was completed in 1566. It was destroyed in November 1993 by heavy horizontal shootings from a tank positioned on the river bank downstream, during the conflict between the Muslims of Bosnia and the Croats.

  • This Is How It All Began... Learn More About the Centre Of
    Centre of Cultivating Dialogue 1997 – 2016 THIS IS HOW IT ALL BEGAN... Back in 1997, a handful of enthusiasts initiated a program one hardly could have predicted for bright future considering the political, economic and educational situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Differences and divisions in the country were much more pronounced than today, which was especially noticed in educational program. However, sixteen years later the program can boast with a number of activities and participants to be envied by many, even most respected international programs. The first teachers to be involved in the program could not have even imagined they would be a part of the team that would participate in activities like seminars, meetings, round table discussions, and summer camps, debate activities in schools, TV debates, and world championships. Even less could they imagine that these activities would become a matter of tradition, one that future generations can look up to and admire. Since then more than 350 high school teachers from 75 Bosnian towns were educated through, on average, somewhat less than 150 activities per year. The program itself was obviously not created for teachers, but first and foremost for the benefit of young people in BiH. The goal has been to educate and train young people in debating skills and consequently in democracy and tolerance, which can be applied daily. This is Centre of Cultivating Dialogue, a program which sets debate as a contemporary method of education, through direct cooperation of all participants and constant rhetoric, cross examination, argumentation, research exercises… The total number of people involved in the aforementioned activities has grown to 33.000 and all of them have at least some experience they use today.
