KDO VODI (JE VODIL) NAŠA ŢIVLJENJA… KDO KREIRA (JE KREIRAL) NAŠE USODE… UDBA! V Sloveniji - 1.del Rojen je bil v delavski druţini v Ljubljani. Leta 1926 se je kot 16 letnik včlanil v mladinsko organizacijo jugoslovanskih komunistov (SKOJ), dve leti kasneje je postal član Komunistične partije Jugoslavije (KPJ). Leta 1929 je končal učiteljišče, a učiteljske sluţbe ni nikoli nastopil. Zaradi aktivnega delovanja v prepovedani stranki KPJ je bil februarja 1930 v Beogradu aretiran in obsojen na dve leti ječe. Po izpustitvi iz zapora se je leta 1932 vrnil v Ljubljano, kjer so ga imenovali za člana novega Pokrajinskega komiteja KPJ za Slovenijo. Po tem, ko so nekateri starejši vodilni slovenski komunisti izstopili ali bili izločeni iz KPJ je Edvard Kardelj skupaj z Borisom Kidričem in Francem Leskoškom postal eden od članov novega vodstva slovenskih komunistov. Kardelj je propagiral boj proti kapitalizmu, imperializmu, parlamentarnim demokracijam in podpiral Stalinovo politiko in politični sistem Sovjetske zveze. Leta 1935 se je iz Ljubljane preselil v Sovjetsko zvezo. V Moskvi je delal za Kominterno in bil skupaj z Josipom Brozom Titom in Aleksandrom Rankovićem član NKVD. Po tem, ko je Stalin ukazal likvidacije vseh najpomembnejših članov Centralnega komiteja Komunistične Edvard Kardelj partije Jugoslavije (CK KPJ) kot so Filip Filipovič, Sima Markovič in Milan Gorkič so Kardelja oprostili vseh obtoţb. Stalin je Josipa Broza Tita imenoval za novega voditelja Prvi oče UDBE KPJ, člani novega vodstva so postali še Edvard Kardelj, Aleksandar Ranković, Milovan Đilas in Franc Leskošek.

    NEWS DIGEST ON GEORGIA September 26-29 Compiled by: Aleksandre Davitashvili Date: September 30, 2019 Occupied Regions Abkhazia Region 1. 26 years passed since fall of Sokhumi The Georgian government and parliament members, leaders of various political parties gathered at Memorial of Heroes in Tbilisi to commemorate those, who died in the struggle for Georgia’s territorial integrity. Wreaths are laid at the memorial. Military confrontation in Abkhazia began on August 14, 1992. Military activities lasted for 13 months and 13 days and ended with the fall of Sokhumi on September 27, 1993. Russian, North Caucasian and Cossack units stormed the building of the Council of Ministers of Abkhazia early on September 27 and captured Zhiuli Shartava, head of the Council of Ministers of Abkhazia, the Mayor of Sokhumi and 27 employees of the Council of Ministers. The captured people who did not leave Sukhumi were shot dead (1TV, September 27, 2019). 2. Giorgi Gakharia: September 27 is most difficult and painful day for every citizen of Georgia “For all citizens of today’s Georgia, regardless of their age, this day, September 27, marks the day when Sokhumi fell 26 years ago. Of course, both we and Abkhazians have learned a lot and have grown since. We share many bonds, and what binds us is the understanding and acknowledgment that the war was the most devastating tragedy. And that is the foundation allowing us to say that peace is critically important to both Georgians and Abkhazians. Consequently, it is important for every citizen to understand that war is not a solution, and that tireless efforts 24/7 building the country and democratic institutions, and a strong and unified Georgia is what we must serve together.”, – Giorgi Gakharia said (1TV, September 27, 2019).

  • ISIS Maj 2001
    UVODNIK Strategija – podlaga za merljive rezultate V zadnjih mesecih smo se v Zbornici največ ukvarjali s pripravo strategije delovanja Zbornice do leta 2004. Vedno bolj sem prepričan, da le projektni način delovanja zagotavlja preverljivo uresničevanje zastavljenih ciljev ob pogoju, da so cilji res pravilno izbrani. Najpomembnejši način identifikacije glavnih problemov slovenskega zdravništva in zobozdravništva je zagotovo neposredna komunikacija v najširšim krogu člans- tva. Zato sem, skupaj s člani izvršilnega odbora in skupščinskega sveta, tudi pred tokratnim zasedanjem skupščine obiskal vse zbornične regije. Glede na razprave s članstvom smo dopolnili besedilo strategije, pogovarjali pa smo se tudi o različnih perečih zadevah. Prav na podlagi razprav na sejah skupščinskega sveta in po regijah smo v strategijo zapisali dva najpomembnejša vsebinska cilja: okrepiti delovanje zdravništva v regijah ter pripraviti smernice za dobro sodelovanje med zdravniki primarnega, sekundarnega in terciarnega nivoja zdravstvenega varstva. Na zadnji aprilski seji izvršilnega odbora je bil tako za vsako točko ciljev strategije določen nosilec oziroma nosilci, ki morajo do konca maja pripraviti načrt delovanja za svoje področje. Na tem mestu ne želim povzemati dnevnega reda 37. seje skupščine, niti ne bom naštel vseh strateških ciljev, saj si celotno besedilo strategije lahko preberete v notranjosti revije. Poudariti želim, da so zasedanja skupš- čine Zdravniške zbornice Slovenije pripravljena zelo skrbno. Na dnevni red so uvrščene samo teme, o katerih razpravljata in jih potrdita tako izvršilni odbor kot skupščinski svet. Skupščinski svet sestavljajo predsednik in podpredsednik skupš- čine ter predsedniki vseh regij Zbornice, ki so bili neposredno izvoljeni na voli- tvah. Res je, da smo na dnevni red 37. skupščine Zbornice naknadno uvrstili toč- ko o stališču Zbornice do Zakona o spremembah in dopolnitvah zakona o zdrav- ljenju neplodnosti in oploditvi z biomedicinsko pomočjo (OBMP).

  • Georgia: Background and U.S
    Georgia: Background and U.S. Policy Updated September 5, 2018 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45307 SUMMARY R45307 Georgia: Background and U.S. Policy September 5, 2018 Georgia is one of the United States’ closest non-NATO partners among the post-Soviet states. With a history of strong economic aid and security cooperation, the United States Cory Welt has deepened its strategic partnership with Georgia since Russia’s 2008 invasion of Analyst in European Affairs Georgia and 2014 invasion of Ukraine. U.S. policy expressly supports Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders, and Georgia is a leading recipient of U.S. aid in Europe and Eurasia. Many observers consider Georgia to be one of the most democratic states in the post-Soviet region, even as the country faces ongoing governance challenges. The center-left Georgian Dream party has more than a three-fourths supermajority in parliament, allowing it to rule with only limited checks and balances. Although Georgia faces high rates of poverty and underemployment, its economy in 2017 appeared to enter a period of stronger growth than the previous four years. The Georgian Dream won elections in 2012 amid growing dissatisfaction with the former ruling party, Georgia: Basic Facts Mikheil Saakashvili’s center-right United National Population: 3.73 million (2018 est.) Movement, which came to power as a result of Comparative Area: slightly larger than West Virginia Georgia’s 2003 Rose Revolution.

  • Integrated Strategic Plan Needed to Help Restore Iraq's Oil and Electricity Sectors
    United States Government Accountability Office Report to Congressional Committees GAO May 2007 REBUILDING IRAQ Integrated Strategic Plan Needed to Help Restore Iraq’s Oil and Electricity Sectors On June 22, 2007, the Web version of this report was reissued to reflect changes to enemy-initiated attack data provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency. On June 13, 2007, DIA notified GAO that its April 2007 attack data were incorrect because it had excluded attacks from a new subordinate command established on April 1, 2007. According to DIA, Multi-National Division-Center did not properly forward its April attack data because of inadequate reporting procedures; it has since corrected the problem. Accordingly, enemy attacks in April totaled approximately 4,900 rather than the 4,500 previously reported (see page 34). We also revised the corresponding narrative to show the average number of daily attacks increasing from 157 in March 2007 to 163 in April 2007 (see page 33). GAO-07-677 May 2007 REBUILDING IRAQ Accountability Integrity Reliability Highlights Integrated Strategic Plan Needed to Help Highlights of GAO-07-677, a report to Restore Iraq’s Oil and Electricity Sectors Congressional Committees Why GAO Did This Study What GAO Found Since 2003, the United States has Billions have been provided to rebuild Iraq’s oil and electricity sectors, but provided several billion dollars in Iraq’s future needs are significant and sources of funding uncertain. From reconstruction funds to help fiscal years 2003 through 2006, the United States spent about $5.1 billion to rebuild Iraq oil and electricity rebuild the oil and electricity sectors.

Janko Prunk Vloga Demosa pri osamosvojitvi Slovenije Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2010 Tebi in Vam. Vloga Demosa pri osamosvojitvi Slovenije Vloga Demosa je danes, pri kritičnem vrednotenju osamosvojitve, mnogokrat podcenjena. Demos je bil ključen akter demokratičnega prehajanja, vzpostavitve parlamentarne demokracije in osamosvojitve Republike Slovenije. Brez prispevka strank Demosa, navedeni procesi ne bi bili zaključeni v primerljivem času. Ključno vlogo pri nadgraditvi miselnega preboja v družbenega, so odigrali akademiki in kulturniki zbrani okrog Nove revije, aretacija četverice, znana pod imenom Afera JBTZ, pa je pustila ostro sled v narodu, ki ni dopuščala povratka. Formalizacija opozicije, z ustanavljanjem strank, je bila logična posledica stanja duha naroda. Ideje o večstrankarskem političnem sistemu, parlamentarni demokraciji in samostojni Republiki Sloveniji so bile skupne mnogim novonastalim strankam, ki so s povezavo v demokratično opozicijo Demos, idejam dale temelj za njihovo uresničitev. Ruptforma, ki smo ji bili priča dvajset let nazaj, je slovenskemu narodu prinesla lastno državo in dolgo želeno osvoboditev izpod tuje nadoblasti. Stranke Demosa so prevzele pobudo, demokratična oposzicija je bila nosilka sprememb, ki bodo v slovenski zgodovini vedno zapisane z zlatimi črkami. Ključne besede: Demos, demokratičen prehod, demokratični sistem, osamosvojitev, ruptforma. The role of Demos in gaining Slovenian independence The role of Demos is nowadays usually underestimated in critical valuing of the process of gaining Slovenian independence. Demos was playing the key role in the process of democratic transition, establishment of parliamentary democracy and gaining independence of the Republic of Slovenia.

  • Working Group on Infrastructure Finance in Iraq, Meeting 1
    REINFORCING INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT IN IRAQ Third Meeting of the Working Group on Infrastructure Finance in Iraq Agenda Organized by the MENA-OECD INVESTMENT PROGRAMME 4-5 November 2010 OECD Headquarters Room D Paris, France Opportunities for Infrastructure Finance in Iraq Despite significant advances in many areas of infrastructure in Iraq, for example, electricity, roads, bridges, rail lines, airports, provision of potable water, and communications, much still remains to be undertaken. It is important for the Government of Iraq (GOI) to increase its ability to deliver basic services given that the Iraqi population is on a considerable growth trajectory, there are increased expectations of a higher standard of living, and there is a need to accommodate economic growth. Responding to these needs will demand considerable strengthening of infrastructure. Funding for infrastructure1 from outside sources has decreased or been depleted and the GOI has seen a leveling off in available budgetary funds for investment in the past few years. The major source of GOI revenue is oil sales, and in recent years oil prices have declined while Iraqi production has not seen a discernible increase. Overall annual budgetary funds have been reduced, and funds specifically available for infrastructure investment have decreased disproportionately. Recent production contracts should increase oil production and GOI revenues, but this is projected to take considerable time. Given the shift in the origin of funds toward internal sources, the decline in those
