Thanks to the unique climate and its specific environment, Bosnia and Herzegovina may be proud of something which much larger countries do not have – beautiful types of cheese. Clean rivers and streams, pearl–like mountain lakes and huge areas for pasture have always been appropriate for cattle breeding development and the cheese production has been present here since the old times. An important characteristic of the cheese is a climate: one must feel regional vegetation in cheese, herbs from certain region, and a domestic tradition of producing has to be respected. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, as it is a rare case anywhere, there are extraordinary conditions for top-quality cheeses. Apart from a big diversity of cheese on offer, most people from Bosnia and Herzegovina will agree with regard to the most famous ones: these are the Vlašić (Travnik) cheese, the Livno cheese, the Herzegovinian sack cheese and Trappist from the Banja Luka area. The Vlašić cheese, by which the mountain Vlašić is known, falls among the best types of white cheese in brine. The cheese is produced from unpasteurized sheep milk and matures for 2-3 months. Inhabitants of the villages at the mountain Vlašić used to take it mostly to Travnik where they sold it, and that’s why it is called also the Travnik cheese. The Vlašić cheese is also made from cow milk for those to whom the flavor of the sheep milk is too strong. Cheese is traditionally cut in slices and packed before distribution. The Herzegovina sack cheese or cheese from sheepskin sack is one of the most famous cheeses from the Herzegovina region. This cheese is typical for cattle breeding areas, particular those ones located on higher altitudes. The sack cheese, as its name says, is unique primarily because it is produced in a sack. In addition to other factors, the sack is the most responsible for the characteristic flavor and smell of this cheese. The sack cheese in its mature phase is in a form of irregular pieces of different sizes. The color is white to light yellowish, and it has a smell of sack where it is kept for approximately two months. The Livno cheese falls into the category of hard, yellow cheeses. It appeared in the area of Southeastern Bosnia, that is, on the wide area of Livanjsko polje (Livno Field), from where its production has spread to the area of Glamoč and Tomislavgrad. The production of the Livno cheese started at the time of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in the late 19th century. The recipe has rapidly spread from the cheese plant around the surrounding villages and people started to produce cheese in their households. At that time cheese was produced according to the recipe of the Swiss Cheese Grojera (Gruyere, Greyerzer) and therefore people named it as the “Swiss Cheese“ and it was produced from sheep milk. Nowadays the Livno cheese is mostly produced from cow milk and the maturing period lasts approximately 2 months Trappist is a type of semi-hard cheese, which is produced on the Balkans and in the south part of Central Europe, but also in other parts of Europe and the USA as well. Trappist originates from France, from where it was brought to the surrounding area of Banja Luka by the Trappist priests and they named it like this. In its composition the Trappist is full-fat cheese, semi hard and it is made of cow milk. The maturation time is from 5 to 12 weeks. The cheese has a shape of a cylinder, diameter of 16- 18 cm and height of 5-8 cm. Its weight is around 1 to 1,5 kg. The cheese has fine, flexible mass without holes and it is cut easily. Its flavor is soft, sweetish, and it melts nicely, like the Edam cheese. In the USA the Trappist is known like Gethsemane cheese, in Belgium like Pere Jospeh, Oka in the French part of Canada and Riddler in Norway. It is still produced in France where it is sold under the name of Port-Salut or Saint-Paulin. Certainly, even more types of cheese may be found in BiH, but true cheese lovers already know that. What is your favorite cheese from Bosnia and Herzegovina? The Association of cheese producers in Bosnia and Herzegovina (UPS BIH) The Association of Cheese Producers in Bosnia and Herzegovina was established in 2012 and it gathers cheese producers from all BiH. The members of this state – level Association are processing companies, agricultural cooperatives, individual producers and smaller regional associations. As of September 2013 the Association gathers 15 active members which work with more than 2,000 farmers. The Association actively promotes its members and their products in the country and abroad. Other activities include joint procurement, advocacy, business linkages and dissemination of the information. Given the natural beauties of Bosnia and Herzegovina which is rich with pastures, clean streams, rivers and lakes, the cattle breeding has always been an important part of rural life. Sheep, goats and cows have been grazing for centuries on beautiful hills and mountains, and diligent housewives have been preparing milk and dairy products of an extraordinary smell and flavor. The best cheeses were obtained from good milk, and this country is proud of four types of cheese, present in the offer of the Association members. They are the Vlašić cheese (white), Livno cheese (type Grojer), the sack cheese (traditional) and Trappist (monastery). These cheeses have won numerous awards for the quality, including some prestigious international awards and praises. The Association Members sell their cheeses under their own brand, but also under the common brand which they chose by themselves: “Vrijedne ruke” (Diligent hands). Many will tell you that good cheese needs love and attention of hard working cheese-makers’ hands, and that there are no machines that could replace them. The basic goal of the Association is to inform cheese lovers from all BiH and whole world about the known and less known types of cheese from Sarajevo, Travnik, Livno, Nevesine, Ljubinja, Stolac, Berkovići, Ljubuški, Prozor- Rama, Konjic, Laktaši/Banja Luka, Fojnica, Vareš, Ravno and other places from all BiH. Omer Mrakić, President of the Association, Travnik, BiH, t: +387 63 396 787; e: [email protected], www.facebook.com/upsirabih USAID/Sida FARMA projekat The US Agency for International Development (USAID) and Swedish International Development Agency (Sida) are the partners in a 5,5 year project of Fostering Agricultural Markets Activity – FARMA). The goal of the project is rapid, sustainable and broad-based economic growth through demand- driven interventions aimed at improved competitiveness of BiH agricultural producers and agribusiness enterprises. The purpose of the Project is to expand environmentally sustainable production, processing and sales of value-added agricultural products. The primary objectives of the FARMA project in this sector include: (1) improving hygiene and milk quality and reaching EU standards; (2) improving the quality and volume of on-farm forage, while reducing costs; (3) improving dairy herd genetics; (4) improving record keeping; and (5) greater production of higher value products; (6) capacity building of veterinary laboratories and inspection services to overcome constraints for the export of products of animal origin to the EU. In the dairy sector, the efforts of the USAID/Sida FARMA are focused on cheese production as well. Accordingly, big attention is paid to standardization of production, development of new types of cheese, improvement of marketing and promotion towards the domestic and foreign buyers.

Describe the important developments relating to the Bologna Process, including legislative reforms, since Bergen. Over the past two years in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), some significant shifts have been recorded in the implementation of the Bologna Process. The biggest credit for this goes primarily to the public universities in BiH and the international community (first of all the Council of Europe, the European Commission in BiH and the Austrian Development Agency). As of this year, at all public universities in BiH, the implementation of the first cycle has started in compliance with the Bologna principles. The curricula have been reformed and adjusted to the two-cycle system of study; two models have been most often used: 3+2 and 4+1, depending on the university or the study group. Some faculties and universities had started the implementation of the first cycle as early as in the 2003/04 academic year, and next year we will be expecting the first generation of students bearing the title of Bachelor of Science.

  • The Situation in Canton 10
    The Situation in Canton 10 Today representatives of the international community, namely OHR, OSCE, UNMIBH, UNHCR, EU and SFOR held a meeting in Livno and discussed issues related to Canton 10. With concern they noted the very critical situation in this Canton and can no longer tolerate a continuation of the present condition. They also noted that officials of this Canton have so far refuted such conclusions and appealed to the IC to talk with “language of argumentation”. Four and a half years of the IC discussions with the local officials on the implementation of Dayton have failed. The IC hereby points out the most blatant violations of agreements and Human Rights which exist Canton 10. Absence of Rule of Law In Canton 10, there has been no single satisfactory prosecution of a violent crime against a minority. The total disregard for the Rule of Law – a cornerstone in any civilised democracy dedicated to the principle of separation of Powers among the Legislative, the Executive and the Judiciary – is a major concern. Basic aspects of this concept do not function or do not exist. The audit of the Livno Prosecutor’s Office in 1999 by UNMIBH’s Judical Systems Assistance Program (JSAP) revealed that, “the criminal justice system has consistently failed to apply fundamental judicial principles”. There is no effective prosecutorial service in the Canton. The hand of politics is very actively apparent in judicial processes in Canton 10. Moreover, the police have consistently failed to conduct professional investigations in the cases of: Series of attacks on minority properties in Livno and Tomislavgrad in 1997; Arson at the Serb Orthodox Monastery in Glamoc in 1998; Riot and double murder in Drvar in April 1998; Destruction of UNHCR reconstructed home in Kablici in 1999; Violent attacks on elderly Serbs in Drvar in 1999; Alleged rape in Drvar in 1999; Explosion at Bosniak-owned café in Livno in 2000.
