Bela Crkva Serbia Bela Crkva and its surrounding area had been settled down back in the ancient times, in the Stone Age. People had been living there even throughout other prehistoric periods - the Bronze and the Iron Age, what numerous archaeological remains prove today. However, the most interesting remains were found on the town locations [for eg. Siglova ciglana stratum]. the Celts, the Skits and the Dutches had settled there or just passed along, and by the end of the younger Iron Aged it started a new period in history - the Roman Domination which would last until the middle of III century. When Barbarians, particularly the Goths and the Sarmats had started invading the South Banat, it was finally lost for the Roman Empire. The Sarmats had settled down there learing their marks and some remains of their material culture are numerous and most interesting particularly on Bela Crkva location [from different dishes to various ornaments]. The Avars and the Slavs had come with the great movement of peoples [VI century], but it is rather strange that few orchaeological remains were found from that period, after the Sarmats had gone The Slavs finally had settled and stayed on the conquered territory, while the Avars had continued to conquer other territories, carrying out raids. The alliance between them broke off, and the Avars, as a powerful military force had left the territory, while the Slavs suffered the influence of their powerful neighbours, Byzantium and French country. However, the Bulgarians had started their great invasion, when the Slavs were forced either to form an alliance with them, or to fall into their power, and so page 2 / 10 Bulgaria was established. As for the Sout-East of Banat, which often changed rulers, since the Avars power had fallen, now it fell under Bulgarian power. In the IX century the Hungarians occupied the territory of Banat and Bela Crkva was in their power them. They stayed there until 1522 when the Turks invaded Temisvar and became the rulers of this area. In the XVII century the war betwen Austria and Turkey broke out, but in 1716 the Prince Eugene of Savoy had conquered Temisvar and handed it over to Earl Merci to govern. Earl Merci occupied the fortress by the Danube river, Palanka and Pancevo, and so this territory became definitely free from the Turks. Bela Crkva was founded as soon as the territory had been liberated from the Turks. It was earl Merci who organized a massive colonization of the Germans from Germany, French country and Hesen. During the years that followed, the Germans continned to settle there, establishing a nice wealthy town where different trades were developed, especially wine growing and production of high quality wines. Very soon afterwards, the Serbs, the Romanians and some other nationalities, also started to settle there. However, the great majority of population still consisted of the Germans until World War II. In order to protect themselves from the Turks, Austria formed a military border and the Wallach-Illirian regiment in 1774. Some fine buildings were built at that time and most of them are in good condition up to these days. Military border was abolished in 1872 and Bela Crkva was united with Hungary again having returned to civilian government after years of military rule. The first mayor then was Leonhard Bohm, a learned man who wrote the first history of Bela Crkva. Then in 1877 Felix Milleker founded the museum, and at the same time it was the first museum in Vojvodina. Bela Crkva had been a part of Austro-Hungarian Monarchy up to 1918 when it was united in the Monarchy of the Serbs, the Croatians and the Slovenians. Hungarian administration and language withdrew, but the economic power of Bela Crkva weakened more and more. After Romania and the Monarchy of the SCS had been divided unsatisfactory, Bela Crkva was left on the very border, while the woods and cultiuable soil belonged to Romania. Many roads were cut off, meny markets lost for Bela Crkva. Then World War II broke off. Love and harmony of multinational community was mined. After the war almost all the Germans and locals left it.... Serbia Serbia has connected West with East for centuries a land in which civilisations, cultures, faiths, climates and landscapes meet and mingle. It is located in the centre of the Balkan Peninsula, in southeastern Europe. The northern portion belongs to central Europe, but in terms of geography and climate it is also partly a Mediterranean country. Serbia is landlocked but as a Danube country it is connected to distant seas and oceans. Serbia is a crossroads of Europe and a geopolitically important territory. The international roads and railway lines, which run through the countrys river valleys, form the shortest link between Western Europe and the Middle East. From the agricultural regions of the Pannonian Plain in the north, across the fertile river valleys and orchard-covered hills of umadija, the landscape of Serbia continues southward, gradually giving way to mountains rich in canyons, gorges and caves, as well as well-preserved forests. Serbias beautiful mountains, national parks, rivers and lakes are the perfect location for an active outdoor holiday from hunting and fishing to extreme sports. Many times during its rich, centuries-long history, Serbia has been at the centre of Europes and the worlds attention, out of all proportion to its modest size, economic might and number of inhabitants. Many lessons on bravery, patriotism and the struggle for freedom can be learned wherever you turn in Serbia, as you pass through its cities and regions. The cultural and historical heritage of Serbia begins with prehistoric archaeological sites and its legacy from classical antiquity. Perhaps its greatest riches, though, are in the many mediaeval Serbian churches and monasteries, some of which are included on the UNESCO World Heritage list. All year round, numerous cultural, entertainment, traditional and sporting events are held in Serbia, demonstrating the creative power and spiritual vitality of this country. Today, Serbia is a modern, democratic European country, on the path to membership of the European Union, which a diverse range of visitors from young backpackers to participants in congresses and fairs visit every day. Statistically, the most-visited tourist destinations are the cities of Belgrade and Novi Sad, the mountains of Kopaonik and Zlatibor and the spa towns of Vrnja?ka Banja and Sokobanja.

  • Divergence of Myrobalan (Prunus Cerasifera Ehrh.) Types on the Territory of Serbia
    UDC 575: 634.22 Original scientific paper DIVERGENCE OF MYROBALAN (Prunus cerasifera Ehrh. ) TYPES ON THE TERRITORY OF SERBIA Dragan NIKOLI Ć and Vera RAKONJAC Faculty of Agriculture, Belgrade-Zemun, Serbia Nikoli ć D. and V. Rakonjac (2007): Divergence of myrobalan (Prunus cerasifera ehrh.) types on the territory of Serbia.. – Genetika, Vol. 39, No. 3, 333 - 342. Variability of some more prominent pomological characteristics was examined in three regions of Serbia (central, western, southern). In all the regions, significant variability of all studied characteristics was established. However, no specifics were manifested between regions, therefore, identical types emerge in all the regions. This is indicated by similar intervals of variation as well as similar mean values of characteristics per region. The obtained results lead to the conclusion that the entire territory of Serbia should be observed as a unique myrobalan population with highly expressed polymorphism of characteristics. To preserve genetic variability of myrobalan, collection is recommended for those types that were arranged into various groups and subgroups according to the results of cluster analysis.

INTRODUCTION The myrobalan or cherry plum ( Prunus cerasifera Ehrh.) is native to southeastern Europe or southwestern Asia. Its seedlings are used for the most part as a rootstock for plum (W EINBERGER , 1975; E RBIL and S OYLU , 2002), but lesser for apricot (D IMITROVA and M ARINOV , 2002) and almond and peach (D UVAL et al ., 2004).

  • When Diplomats Fail: Aostrian and Rossian Reporting from Belgrade, 1914
    WHEN DIPLOMATS FAIL: AOSTRIAN AND ROSSIAN REPORTING FROM BELGRADE, 1914 Barbara Jelavich The mountain of books written on the origins of the First World War have produced no agreement on the basic causes of this European tragedy. Their division of opinion reflects the situation that existed in June and July 1914, when the principal statesmen involved judged the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Habsburg throne, and its consequences from radically different perspectives. Their basic misunderstanding of the interests and viewpoints 'of the opposing sides contributed strongly to the initiation of hostilities. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the importance of diplomatic reporting, particularly in the century before 1914 when ambassadors were men of influence and when their dispatches were read by those who made the final decisions in foreign policy. European diplomats often held strong opinions and were sometimes influenced by passions and. prejudices, but nevertheless throughout the century their activities contributed to assuring that this period would, with obvious exceptions, be an era of peace in continental affairs. In major crises the crucial decisions are always made by a very limited number of people no matter what the political system. Usually a head of state -- whether king, emperor, dictator, or president, together with those whom he chooses to consult, or a strong political leader with his advisers-­ -decides on the course of action. Obviously, in times of international tension these men need accurate information not only from their military staffs on the state of their and their opponent's armed forces and the strategic position of the country, but also expert reporting from their representatives abroad on the exact issues at stake and the attitudes of the other governments, including their immediate concerns and their historical background.

  • The Bri in Europe and the Budapest-Belgrade Railway Link
    Briefing Paper, 10/2019 THE BRI IN EUROPE AND THE BUDAPEST-BELGRADE RAILWAY LINK Flora Rencz Junior Researcher, EIAS October 2019 Abstract Increasing Chinese influence in Europe has been a growing source of anxiety in Brussels in recent years. This paper seeks to better understand these exacerbated fears through the case of the Budapest-Belgrade railway link refurbishment. The project is part of the 17+1 Cooperation and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). It had been announced in 2013 but was stalled on the Hungarian side until 2019 due to EU tender regulations. This paper provides an overview of the Budapest-Belgrade case’s timeline and details. It also analyses the challenges arising during the execution of the project, particularly focusing on political concerns from Brussels, feasibility issues, and the reception of the refurbishment by the Hungarian public. The paper also sheds light on how the project progressed differently on the Hungarian side as it did on the Serbian side as a non-EU member, due to the EU’s intervention. The railway link is a great case study to gain a better understanding of the BRI and the implications of China’s growing influence as a global actor for the EU and its neighbours. Briefing papers published by the European Institute for Asian Studies are summaries of facts which are related to a certain issue and often include a proposed course of action. This paper expresses the views of the author(s) and not of the European Institute for Asian Studies Introduction In November 2013, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dačić, and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced plans to modernise the railway link between Budapest and Belgrade.1 The project was retrospectively labelled part of China’s multilateral cooperation with the Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, the so-called 17+1 Cooperation (since Greece joined in 2019),2 hence making it a Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) project.

Mostly due to the constant need for more food production or due to changes in environmental condi- tions, grasslands as habitats are expected to become highly endangered. The aim of this study was to estimate the grasslands’ ecological response to future climate and environmental changes. The study took place in three ecologically different grassland communities in three protected natural areas of Serbia (Southeastern Europe), following the same methodology. The study sites were: 1) Peštersko polje Special Nature Reserve (SNR), 2) Deliblato sands SNR (its southern part: Labudovo okno) and 3) Zasavica SNR.
