Presentation Program of integrated physical, economic and social regeneration of small towns Mr Ivo Vrandečić Loje About the Program • The Ministry of Regional Development and EU Funds (MRDEUF) and the Ministry of Labour and Pension System (MLPS) are implementing this Program within Operational Program Competitiveness and Cohesion (SO 9b1) and Operational Program Efficient Human Resources 2014-2020 (SO 9i2). • A new approach to integrated physical, economic and social regeneration of deprived areas. • The Program is being piloted in five small towns: Knin, Beli Manastir/Darda, Benkovac, Petrinja and Vukovar. • Total allocation of 120 million EUR → 100 million from the ERDF and 20 million from the ESF. Current results • Methodology for the implementation of the Program was developed. • Intervention plans were prepared as strategic and operative documents and prerequisite for the implementation of the Program. o These encompass wide spectre of infrastructure projects - educational, cultural, entrepreneurship facilities, roads, public surfaces etc. (ERDF financed) and human resources development projects (ESF financed). o Intervention plans were developed by small towns with the active involvement of local partnerships. • Calls for proposals were launched for submitting project proposals for the projects listed in the intervention plans. • By now, 15 calls for proposals were launched (13 ERDF+2 ESF), 102 contracts signed (87 + 15) with total grant value of 321 million HRK (306 + 15) and 113 million HRK disbursed (all ERDF). Future activities • Further coordinating, assisting and monitoring of implementation of the Program in the five pilot areas. • Conducting mid term evaluation of the Program • Participation in the drafting the programming period 2021-2027 scheme • Extension of the Program ✓ New areas have been selected ✓ New intervention plans are being developed • Scope of the extended Program and modality of project implementation will depend on the results of evaluation and new programming period scheme. .

  • Framing Croatia's Politics of Memory and Identity
    Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER WORKSHOP: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER Author: Taylor A. McConnell, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh Title: “KRVatska”, “Branitelji”, “Žrtve”: (Re-)framing Croatia’s politics of memory and identity Date: 3 April 2018 Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER “KRVatska”, “Branitelji”, “Žrtve”: (Re-)framing Croatia’s politics of memory and identity Taylor McConnell, School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh Web: taylormcconnell.com | Twitter: @TMcConnell_SSPS | E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper explores the development of Croatian memory politics and the construction of a new Croatian identity in the aftermath of the 1990s war for independence. Using the public “face” of memory – monuments, museums and commemorations – I contend that Croatia’s narrative of self and self- sacrifice (hence “KRVatska” – a portmanteau of “blood/krv” and “Croatia/Hrvatska”) is divided between praising “defenders”/“branitelji”, selectively remembering its victims/“žrtve”, and silencing the Serb minority. While this divide is partially dependent on geography and the various ways the Croatian War for Independence came to an end in Dalmatia and Slavonia, the “defender” narrative remains preeminent. As well, I discuss the division of Croatian civil society, particularly between veterans’ associations and regional minority bodies, which continues to disrupt amicable relations among the Yugoslav successor states and places Croatia in a generally undesired but unshakable space between “Europe” and the Balkans. 1 Workshop: War and Identity in the Balkans and the Middle East WORKING PAPER Table of Contents Abstract ...................................................................................................................................................................

    Country Report on Human Rights Practices in Croatia Page 1 of 20 Croatia Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2007 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 11, 2008 The Republic of Croatia is a constitutional parliamentary democracy with a population of 4.4 million. Legislative authority is vested in the unicameral Sabor (parliament). The president serves as head of state and commander of the armed forces, cooperating in formulation and execution of foreign policy and directing operations of the intelligence service; he also nominates the prime minister, who leads the government. Parliamentary elections on November 25 were conducted in accordance with electoral legislation, although out-of-date registers of voters living abroad created a problem. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces. The government generally respected the human rights of its citizens; however, there were problems in some areas. The judicial system suffered from a case backlog, although the number of unsolved cases awaiting trial was somewhat reduced. Intimidation of some witnesses in domestic war crimes trials remained a problem. Courts continued to hold in absentia group trials for war crimes in both Vukovar and Rijeka. The government made little progress in restituting property nationalized by the Yugoslav communist regime to non-Roman Catholic religious groups. Societal violence and discrimination against ethnic minorities, particularly Serbs and Roma, remained a problem. Violence and discrimination against women continued. School officials continued to segregate Romani students into substandard schools. Trafficking in persons, violence and discrimination against homosexuals, and discrimination against persons with HIV/AIDS were also reported.

  • Prometna Povezanost
    Tourism Introduction Zadar County encompasses marine area from Island Pag to National Park Kornati and land area of Velebit, i.e. the central part of the Croatian coastline. This is the area of true natural beauty, inhabited from the Antique period, rich with cultural heritage, maritime tradition and hospitality. Zadar County is the heart of the Adriatic and the fulfilment of many sailors' dreams with its numerous islands as well as interesting and clean underwater. It can easily be accessed from the sea, by inland transport and airways. Inseparable unity of the past and the present can be seen everywhere. Natural beauties, cultural and historical monuments have been in harmony for centuries, because men lived in harmony with nature. As a World rarity, here, in a relatively small area, within a hundred or so kilometres, one can find beautiful turquoise sea, mountains covered with snow, fertile land, rough karst, ancient cities and secluded Island bays. This is the land of the sun, warm sea, olives, wine, fish, song, picturesque villages with stone- made houses, to summarise - the true Mediterranean. History of Tourism in Zadar Tourism in Zadar has a long tradition. The historical yearbooks record that in June 1879 a group of excursionists from Vienna visited Zadar, in 1892 the City Beautification Society was founded (active until 1918), and in 1899 the Mountaineering and Tourism Society "Liburnia" was founded. At the beginning of the XX century, in March 1902 hotel Bristol was opened to the public (today's hotel Zagreb). Most important period for the development of tourism in Zadar County lasted from the 60's - 80's of the 20th century, when the majority of the hotel complexes were erected.

  • Petrinjske I Podravske Veze Od Polovice 19. Do Polovice 20
    Dr. sc. Mira KOLAR-DIMITRIJEVIĆ Sveuč. prof. u mirovini, Zagreb PETRINJSKE I PODRAVSKE VEZE OD POLOVICE 19. DO POLOVICE 20. STOLJEĆA 1. Uvod. Grad Petrinja i grad Koprivnica imaju mnogo srodnih točaka i interesa pa je i razumljivo da su kroz povijest postojale brojne veze. Međutim, Petrinja je do 1873. bila vojnički grad i središte Druge banske pukovnije ali i središte gospo- darskog i prosvjetnog života Banske krajine. Koprivnica se je pak riješila vojnog središta 1776., kada se počeo izgrađivati Bjelovar, ali je i dalje zadržala karakter poluvojničkog grada, što iščezava poslije 1873. kada se prišlo razvojačenju Varaž- dinske vojne krajine. U oba grada tražila su se rješenja kako što prije prebroditi vojničko nasljeđe i zakoračiti putem novog građanskog društva. No bilo je izvjesnih razloga. U Petri- nji i nije bilo plemstva iz redova veleposjednika, a u Koprivnici su grofovi Inkey iz Rasinje držali određene privredne objekte u gradu, osobito hotel, ali se je to ubrzo promijenilo pod navalom novih građanskih snaga, pogotovo Židova i Srba iz okoline koji su se dobro osjećali u Koprivnici. G. 1848. označava kraj feuda- lizma i početak ustavnog razdoblja. Međutim ovaj prijelaz bio je dugotrajan, a u Hrvatskoj i kompliciran zbog Hrvatsko-slavonske vojne krajine koja je produžila vojnu upravu sve do sedamdesetih godina 19. stoljeća pod izlikom da treba pri- premiti ovaj prijelaz osposobljavanjem krajišnika za novo vrijeme. Međutim to je osposobljavanje bilo zapravo onesposobljavanje Hrvatske da sama rješava svoje probleme, jer je čitav školski sustav bio i dalje usmjeren prema humanističkom obrazovanju, a praktične poslove oko uređenja rijeka, eksploatacije šuma i pro- meta radili su stranci školovani u razvijenom dijelu Monarhije, uglavnom Pragu, Gracu ili u Mađarskoj.

  • Right to Reply
    HDIM.DEL/217/07 27 September 2007 HDIM WORKING SESSION 5 Humanitarian issues and other commitments Refugees and displaced persons Republic of Croatia Right to reply Mr. Moderator, Ladies and Gentlemen, Following the remarks made by some delegations, allow me to start with a statement that Government of the Republic of Croatia offers full and verifiable guarantees for the fulfilment of the remaining OSCE obligations. The results achieved as well as the existence of the joint consultative mechanism known as “The Platform, have been commended trough positive assessments by many of our international partners, including the OSCE Mission in Croatia. Therefore, in the replay this delegation will concentrate on some most important elements, for example provision of housing solutions for ex-tenancy right holders who wish to return: to resolve 1 400 demands by the end of 2007, and to resolve all remaining cases by the end of 2009. Regarding other requests some delegations could have, let me remind that, along with the implementation of our own programme, Croatian activities are directed towards straightening bilateral cooperation with Sarajevo Declaration signatories. Therefore, we already took an initiative and proposed convening of a Final Ministerial Conference of Sarajevo Declaration as soon as possible, taking into account that Final Conference will evaluate the positive achievements of Sarajevo Declaration and may also prove beneficial for finding a solution of remaining issues. Mr/s Moderator, additional information will be at the disposal of delegations in the Addendum of this Statement trough the distribution of documents. Thank you. 1 Additional information : 1) Cooperation through the “Platform” By establishing a Ministerial level “Platform” in early 2006, setting specific goals to work with the OSCE Mission in Croatia towards and identifying remaining tasks, the Government of Croatia has proved a clear commitment to address all outstanding mandate related issues by the end of 2007.

  • Self-Evaluation of Competence for Teaching Music by the Students of Class Teacher Studies
    Self-evaluation of competence for teaching Music by the students of Class Teacher Studies Jasna Šulentić Begić, Academy of Arts in Osijek, University of Osijek, Croatia, [email protected] Amir Begić, Academy of Arts in Osijek, University of Osijek, Croatia, [email protected] Abstract: This paper describes the study conducted in the Republic of Croatia during the 2012/13 academic year. The participants of the study were fourth year students of the class teacher studies (N = 307), who evaluated their own competence for teaching music. The goal was to determine if the music course syllabi at the class teacher studies develop the appropriate competences required by the students to teach music in primary education. The research study showed that the students are mostly unaware of how low their competences are, and consequently they assigned high marks to their competence for teaching music courses in primary education, for the general teaching performance and for each specific topic. The students have emphasized the need for more practical training, primarily regarding playing instruments and singing, and they pointed out the course Teaching Methods for Teaching Music as the key course for training future teachers to teach music. The musical competences of primary education teachers cannot be determined in any other way than from the perspective of the lesson plan and programme of the primary school music courses. At the class teacher studies learning music must follow the path from practice to theory. Keywords: class teacher studies, student competences to teach music, primary education 1. Introduction Research conducted in the USA (Groff, 1962), Australia (DeVries, 2011; Hocking; 2009; Kane, 2005), Canada (Hanley, 1993), Serbia (Stošić, 2008), England (Altun, 2005), and Turkey (Altun, 2005) demonstrated that teacher education students do not feel competent enough to teach music in primary education.

Tvrtko Korbar1*, Snježana Markušić2, Davor Stanko3, Davorin Penava4 1 Croatian Geological Survey, Department of Geology, Zagreb, Croatia; [email protected] 2 University of Zagreb, Faculty of Science, Department of Geophysics, Zagreb, Croatia; [email protected] 3 Faculty of Geotechnical Engineering, University of Zagreb, Varaždin, Croatia; [email protected] 4 Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture Osijek, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Croatia; [email protected] Abstract On 29 December 2020 devastating M6.2 earthquake hit well known Petrinja epicentral area, and caused strong damage on many buildings in Petrinja, Sisak, and Glina, as well as on solid modern linear infrastructure (roads, bridges, artificial river embankments, pipelines etc.). The seismic hazard is not depending only on the estimated coseismic ground acceleration that should be used for EUROCODE 8 constructional seismic design, but is also strongly dependent on local soil effects and on the secondary effects of a strong earthquake (landslides, liquefaction, suffosion, etc.). Besides, movement of the crustal blocks along the fault lines that cross the solid objects, in case of surface coseismic rupture such was the Petrinja event, should be evaluated. Local site amplification effects are the results of several physical processes (multiple reflections and diffractions, focusing, resonance, wave trapping) in the overlying superifical deposits and soil, resulting in variable damage distribution that were observed in different local geological units affected by an earthquake.

The earthquake was felt across the area of 400 km, leaving an inconceivable damage in the vicinity of the epicenter, devastated towns and ruined lives. In order to map the spreading of earthquake waves and to determine the coseismic ground displacement after the mainshock, we have analyzed open satellite radar images of Sentinel-1 and the GNSS data from the nearest CORS station related to the epicenter, along with the seismic faults. In this paper, we addressed and mapped the displacement linear surface ruptures detected by the SAR interferometry.

  • A Cruciform Fibula from Podgrađe (Asseria) Near
    ASSERIA, 3, 2005.,99-118 Radomir JURIÆ, Fibula oblika križa iz Podgrada (Asseria) kod Benkovca Radomir Juriæ A CRUCIFORM FIBULA FROM PODGRAÐE (ASSERIA) NEAR BENKOVAC Summary The Church of the Holy Spirit, situated at the local graveyard that occupies part of the forum of Roman Asseria, was damaged during the Homeland War. In the framework of a renovation program by the Institute for the Protection of the Cultural Heritage, Conserva- tion Office Zadar, revisory and rescue excavations were undertaken, supported by the Mi- nistry of Culture and the town of Benkovac, and directed by Dr. Ivo Fadiæ, museum coun- sellor in the Archaeological Museum in Zadar. Excavations have been performed at several locations in and around Asseria from 1998 to the present. Exceptional professional and sci- entific results have been achieved and regularly published. The excavations in 2001 along the northern face of the wall (beyond the “Trajanic gate”) uncovered a cemetery from the period of late Antiquity with two phases of burial. Bu- rials were found under eaved tiles, in walled grave vaults, and in pits lined with stone sla- bs. Jewellery was found in the later horizon of late Roman burials. One exceptional item was a silver fibula in the shape of a cross with widened ends to the arms, decorated with a double row of incisions. A circular setting with an inserted blue stone was located in the cen- ter. The loops for holding the pin were preserved on the back, and were attached with two ri- vets each. The pin is missing. Dimensions of the fibula: 4.9 x 3 cm /Fig.
