ABSTRACT The following the average and extreme values mountainous parts of Kosovo. It affects parts of of climatic elements, specific climatic indices and northern Metohija, Drenica and the entire Kosovo field research, we can select three climatic types in valley along with smaller sidelong dells - Malo Kosovo and Metohija - the altered Mediterranean, Kosovo and Kosovsko Pomoravlje. Because of their continental and mountainous type. The altered exquisite heights, the mountains that complete the Mediterranean type is present in southern and Kosovo Metohija Valley have a specific climatic western Metohija, to be specific, it affects the type, at their lower slopes it is sub - mountainous Prizren Field, the Suva Reka and Orahovac Valley and at the higher ones it is typically mountainous. as well as the right bank of the Beli Drim from Within these climatic types, several climatic sub Pećka Bistrica to the Serbia - Albania border. regions are present. Their frontiers are not precise Gradually and practically unnoticeably, it or sharp. Rather, their climatic changes are transforms itself into a moderate continental type gradual and moderate from one sub-region to the which dominates over the remaining valley and other. Key words: Climatic regions, climatic sub-regions, Kosovo and Metohija. 1.

  • Serbian Enclaves in Kosovo Kosovo in Enclaves Serbian in in Ion in Bosnia and Kosovo,” Kosovo,” and Bosnia in Ion
    LIMITS OF ETHNIC BARGAINING: SERBIAN ENCLAVES IN KOSOVO By Bojan Elek Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations and European Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Erin Kristin Jenne CEU eTD Collection Word Count: 17,031 Budapest, Hungary 2013 Abstract This paper examines the processes of status bargaining of two Serbian enclaves in Kosovo with the central government in Pristina. It develops a middle range theoretical model of enclave bargaining in order to account for different claims advanced against the center, by focusing on different practices and institutions of ethnic enclaves. Ethnic groups are largely viewed as unitary actors by dominant theories on claim making. This research shows that these groups are sometimes fragmented and have divergent interests, depending on their territorial position and demographic patterns. The changes in radicalization of enclavised ethnic groups are explained as a function of their bargaining leverage, which depends on the incentives offered to these enclaves by their external lobby actors and the host government. CEU eTD Collection i Acknowledgments I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Erin K. Jenne. Without her help, this master thesis would not have been the same. Also, I would like to thank my friends and family, for without them I would be a Master of Arts with no friends or family.

  • The Beginning of the End for the Kosovo Problem? the Agreement on Normalisation of Relations Between Belgrade and Pristina and Its Aftermath
    ELIAMEP Briefing Notes 15 /2013 May 2013 The Beginning of the End for the Kosovo Problem? The Agreement on Normalisation of Relations between Belgrade and Pristina and its Aftermath by Dr. Ioannis Armakolas, “Stavros Costopoulos” Research Fellow & Head of South-East Europe Programme, ELIAMEP, Greece Maja Maksimovic Research Assistant, South-East Europe Programme, ELIAMEP, Greece The process that will bring to an end one of the most complex outstanding disputes in the Balkans may have started. After successful intensive diplomatic activity by Catherine Ashton and her External Action Service team, the long- awaited agreement on normalisation of relations between Belgrade and Pristina was signed by Prime Ministers Ivica Dačić and Hashim Thaçi on April 15, 2013. Six months of EU-sponsored dialogue between the new government in Belgrade and the Thaçi government in Pristina and ten meetings at the highest political level have finally proved fruitful. International officials, prominent politicians and opinion makers have all warmly welcomed the agreement as a historical milestone with far-reaching positive consequences for the Western Balkans. Positive consequences for the two countries in particular arrived only three days after the agreement was signed, when the European Commission recommended to the EU Council of Ministers that both sides be allowed to the next step in the accession process: Serbia to open negotiations for membership and Kosovo to sign the Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA). Despite the initial satisfaction regarding the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina, challenges and concerns remain. So far, the two sides have had difficulties in finding common ground regarding the practical implementation of the agreement, an issue of crucial importance for the Commission’s recommendation to be taken onboard.
