For four dec- ades, The Faculty of Sciences has been implementing its mission in science and education through transferring, acquiring and promoting knowledge of the and science, and has produced educated, creative and open-minded young experts who are critical thinkers. More than 9,000 students graduated at the Faculty of Science, and 500 acquired a PhD degree. The aim of the Faculty is DEAN to maintain the position of the most important scientific basis in the fields of natural and mathematical sciences, therefore quality policy is the basic ele- ment of our development strategy. The Faculty comprises five Departments conducting educational and sci- entific activities in the fields of: biology and ecology, chemistry, biochemistry and environmental protection, physics, meteorology, astronomy, mathematics and informatics, geosciences and management in tourism and hospitality. De- spite being separate, all the Departments are connected into a unified interdis- ciplinary network which ensures that quality scientific personnel with more than 300 doctors and modern equipment are used optimally in order to pro- duce outstanding scientific results. This is also confirmed by the quantity of scientific publications in 2010, when about 1,000 scientific papers were pub- lished with almost 300 being published in international journals on SCI list. According to these results, the Faculty of Sciences is among leading faculties in Serbia. Professors and assistants of the Faculty of Sciences are positioned on the top of the list of most cited researchers in Vojvodina, and among the top 30 most cited researchers, 20 belong to the Faculty of Sciences. Scientific and research work at the Departments is conducted within vari- ous activities. Most frequently, research is conducted within scientific projects financed by relevant Ministries of the Republic of Serbia and the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, and there are almost 100 of them, with 43 being super- vised by the Faculty. Reaching global and European standards in science and education are basic aims that this Faculty is striving for. This is why, in addi- tion to human resources, it is important to provide conditions for achieving top results, which requires the improvement of infrastructure, information 4 Faculty of Sciences system development, supplying modern and major equipment. This can only be achieved through participating in the international community and inter- national projects. In 2011, the Faculty has participated in the realisation of 29 projects, among which are those most important ones from the FP7 project calls, IPA projects, Tempus projects, bilateral projects. Opening towards Eu- rope and the world in the fields of science and education is one of the most im- portant priorities of the Faculty of Sciences, which means that knowledge will be assessed through international cooperation at every level. Connecting science with the economy and industry, in compliance with the development strategy of the country, is perhaps the most important task we should be striving for. Although the Faculty has a large number of signed agreements of scientific and technical cooperation with numerous institu- tions in the country and abroad, a real verification of scientific results can be achieved if they find their application in the economic development of the Prof. Neda Mimica Dukić, PhD, Dean country. This is our mission in the future. This monograph gives an outline of current scientific research that is car- ried out at the Faculty. They reflect not only global trends in science but also specific characteristics of our environment. From abstract mathemati- cal and physical phenomena, to completely comprehensible problems related to the preservation and protection of the environment and the development of tourism in Vojvodina. And, in between, there is a range of fundamental and applied research studies, interesting ideas, diverse methods for finding solutions. But, the most important ones are researchers from the most em- inent and experienced scientists to the youngest researchers, doctoral stu- dents, who work together and are adorned with enthusiasm, creativity, an abundance of ideas, and, most importantly, their mutual love for science. With this publication, we wish to introduce our Faculty to scientists around the world, and we are certain this will produce some new ideas and es- tablish new scientific cooperations. There should be no boundaries for science, and it will be possible to adequately develop only through partnership and ex- change of knowledge and ideas. Without intensive development, a society will not have a future in the 21st century and it will not be ready to follow rapid technical and technological changes in the development of modern mankind.

    * From Indifference to 19-12-2003 17:26 Pagina 1 NORBERT BOTH NORBERT NORBERT BOTH Fr om Indifference to Entrapment to om Indifference The Yugoslav crisis represents a formidable foreign policy challenge to many Western and Islamic government bureaucracies. From Indifference to Entrapment deals with the question of how the Netherlands faced up to this challenge during the years 1990-1995. It was during this period that the crisis erupted into armed conflict and the single worst war crime in Europe since the end of World War II took place in the ‘safe area’ of Srebrenica. The role of the Netherlands is particularly interesting, as the country held the EC/EU Presidency during the recognition debate in 1991 and supplied the peacekeeping presence in Srebrenica. The questions addressed in this book include: Did early warning work? What role did the Dutch Presidency (July-December 1991) play in the recognition debate? What motiv- ated the Dutch opposition to the Vance-Owen Peace Plan? Why did the Netherlands become From Indifference entrapped, as symbolised through its isolated peacekeeping commitment to Srebrenica? Finally, what can this story tell us about the ability of small and medium powers to in- fluence international affairs? This study is based on interviews with key players, including former Cabinet Minis- ters, and on documents from the Netherlands Ministry to Entrapment of Foreign Affairs, made available under the Dutch ‘freedom of information act’. ISBN 90-5356-453-5 Dr. Norbert Both, formerly a research assistant The Netherlands for David Owen, now works at the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

    UNEP The UNCHS UNEP UNCHS The Joint UNEP/UNCHS (Habitat) Balkans Task Force was OCTOBER 1999 established in early May 1999 when the Kosovo conflict was Kosovo still ongoing. In addition to the unfolding humanitarian crisis there was growing concern about the environmental and human settlement consequences of the conflict. Conflict The Kosovo Conflict Ð Consequences for the Environment & Human Settlements Force UNEP/UNCHS (Habitat) Balkans Task To address these issues, the Balkans Task Force mobilised an international and independent scientific team to work within Kosovo and at targeted industrial sites in Serbia. Similar teams visited pollution sources along the Danube River, as well as Consequences targets within National Parks and other protected areas. This report presents the findings of the Balkans Task Force. Immediate action is recommended at the Ôhot spotsÕ of environmental concern found in four cities. Conscious of the need for urgent action, the United Nations Environment Programme and the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements have acted to make the facts available as rapidly as possible. The result is a major contribution to for the Environment environmental assessment of modern warfare.
