  • Support Measures for Learners in Higher Education
    Published on Eurydice (https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/national-policies/eurydice) Definition of the Target Group(s) Disabled persons studying in Serbian higher education institutions may receive financial support for studies. Students from socially disadvantaged families may receive social scholarships. Specific Support Measures Financial support for learners is defined by theLaw on Pupils and Students' Standard [1], whereby students are entitled to the following: 1. Accommodation 2. Subsidised meals 3. Student loans 4. Student grants 5. Grants for talented students Accommodation and subsidized meals The state subsidises accommodation and meals for all students at public institutions who are funded from the state budget. In addition, subsidised accommodation in dorms is granted to those studying out of their place of residence. There are 8 student centres in Serbia which provide both subsidised accommodation and meals (Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš, Kragujevac, Subotica, Čačak, Bor and Užice). The city of Belgrade can accommodate 12,000 students in 14 dorms, Novi Sad 3,000 students etc. Students from private universities and those who are not funded from the state budget have the possibility of getting accommodation in a student dorm only on condition that there are vacant places left and at the economic prices. Approximately 7.36% of students were accommodated in dorms in the academic year 2011/12. In the same academic year, revenues collected from dorm accommodation fees were approximately 1.6 million EUR, whereas the state subsidised an additional amount of 8 million EUR. According to the EQUIED report, in the academic year 2011/12, public expenditures for subsidised accommodation and meals were 22 million EUR, whereas approximately 40,000 students were using subsidised meals.

  • Tourists Manifestations in the Development of Culinary Tourism in Banat (Vojvodina, Serbia)
    TOURISTS MANIFESTATIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CULINARY TOURISM IN BANAT (VOJVODINA, SERBIA) Bojana KALENJUK 1, Dragan TEŠANOVIĆ 1, Snježana GAGIĆ2, Nikola VUKSANOVIĆ 1, Marija ŠKRINJAR3, 1University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Science, Department of Geography, Tourism and Hotel Management, Novi Sad, Serbia 2University of Alfa, College of professional studies in management and business communication, Sremski Karlovci, Serbia 3 University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Food Technology, Novi Sad, Serbia E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; Abstract: Vojvodina has a large number of tourist manifestations of food and drinks which attract many domestic and foreign tourists. Tourist manifestations represent an integral part of gastronomic tourism, which is defined as the tourist visit of primary or secondary food producers, restaurants for producing and serving food and certain destinations for tasting and experiencing the regional specialties, where food and drink are primary motivation for travel. Recognizing the importance of tourist manifestations in the development of tourism this manuscript has a task to investigate the tourist manifestations in the territory of Banat, in order to determine the most frequent types of events in districts (Kikinda - Northern Banat District, Zrenjanin – Middle Banat district and Pancevo - South Banat District) and period of taking place of events. The research will include analysis of food and drink events in 2011. Keywords: tourist events, manifestation, food, beverage, culinary tourism, Vojvodina, Banat. 1. INTRODUCTION Tourist manifestations contribute greatly to the formation of the destinations image, increasing the cohesion of the local community and its pride, and improving their quality of life (Bjeljac et al., 2003; Bjeljac, Ž., 2004; Hadžić, O., Bjeljac, Ž., 2006).

  • 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. Key word: myrobalan, natural population, pomological characteristics, phenotypic variability ______________________________ Corresponding author: Dragan Nikoli ć, Faculty of Agriculture, Nemanjina 6, 11080 Belgrade-Zemun, Serbia, e-mail: [email protected] 334 GENETIKA, Vol. 39, No. 3, 333 -342, 2007. 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.

It seeks to fulfill this mission in five ways. First, it is the central repository within The Judge Advocate General's Corps for all-source data, information, memoranda, after-action materials and lessons learned pertaining to legal support to operations, foreign and domestic. Second, it supports judge advocates by analyzing all data and information, developing lessons learned across all military legal disciplines, and by disseminating these lessons learned and other operational information to the Army, Marine Corps, and Joint communities through publications, instruction, training, and databases accessible to operational forces, world-wide.
