  • Do Not Let Belgrade Drown (Ne Davimo Beograd)
    Č Š ć Do not let Belgrade drown (Ne davimo Beograd) Initiative Do not let Belgrade drown was form in 2014 to oppose the Belgrade Waterfront’s project, the consequences and the way the process of planning and the legalizing the project was carried out. It attracted a number of associations, independent organizations, experts, lawyers, academics, journalists, architects and urban planners. Our idea is to stress the importance of popular participation in the development of the city We believe that is possible to build a new kind of solidarity and civic mobilization Giant Duck Becomes Belgrade Resistance Symbol Small-scale actions were followed by mass protests in 2015 and at the beginning of 2016. The watershed moment followed the demolitions of 25 April 2016, when citizens showed up in great numbers to protest, demanding resignations and laying criminal responsibility at the door of officials. We led the biggest civic protests since those that toppled Slobodan Milošević in 2000. Movement transformed into political organization which participated in the local elections. Key achievement is positioning of the topics of urban development and citizen participation in decision making process as one of most important issues in public sphere in Belgrade. Local elections, march 2018. We independently took part in Belgrade elections on March 4, 2018 as a citizen list under the name "Initiative Do not let Belgrade drown - Yellow Duck - Our City, Our City - Ksenija Radovanovic", presenting a program of 20 points. Support was provided by other local movements from Serbia, as well as Janis Varufakis, DIEM25, Ada Colau, Ska Keller, “Zagreb je nas” movement.

  • 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).

Genetika, Vol 45, No. 2, 493-502. Studies were undertaken to identify genetic relationships among ten different species of the family Pinaceae through randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Eighteen arbitrary RAPD primers produced 123 fragments of which 107 were polymorphic (87%). The similarity coefficient values varied from 0.34 to 0.67. The highest similarity coefficient was detected between Pinus wallichiana and P. strobus as well as between Picea abies and P. orientalis , and the lowest was detected between three Pinus species ( P. heldreichii , P. peuce and P. wallichiana ) and Picea omorika . The analysis of RAPD markers confirmed the genetic relationships among species. Genus Picea is clearly separated from genus Pinus and is closer to genus Abies (A. concolor ) than to genus Pinus , what confirms up-to-date numerous comparative- morphological, anatomical, chemotaxonomic and molecular results of these closely related genera.

  • 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.

Abstract Detailed distribution pattern of colubrid snakes in Serbia is still inadequately described, despite the long historical study. In this paper, we provide accurate distribution of seven species, with previously published and newly accumulated faunistic records compiled. Comparative analysis of faunas among all Balkan countries showed that Serbian colubrid fauna is among the most distinct (together with faunas of Slovenia and Romania), due to small number of species. Zoogeographic analysis showed high chorotype diversity of Serbian colubrids: seven species belong to six chorotypes. South-eastern Serbia (Pčinja River valley) is characterized by the presence of all colubrid species inhabiting our country, and deserves the highest conservation status at the national level.

  • 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.
