INTRODUCTION This Semi-Annual Report, like the 10 before it, provides information and data to demonstrate that the program continues to meet and exceed expectations. Short-term impacts have been evident since the first report and continue to grow with each reporting period; in this report, longer-term behavior- al and attitudinal changes are demonstrated and their im- Solving problems of pact is visible in the program’s partner organizations as Economically Devastated well as in an ever-widening circle of stakeholders that try to Communities replicate the activities and approaches. • Economic Security has The benchmarks the Economic Security program has business support or youth reached and the milestones passed have been accomplished activities in 73 percent of for the most part with partners that faced serious economic the country’s economically challenges. Both support activities of the program – busi- devastated communities. ness and youth – work extensively in economically under- developed communities. In fact, the program’s activities serve 73 percent of Serbia’s 40 most economically chal- lenged communities – those deemed economically devastated municipalities1. In choosing to target these underserved communities, Economic Security tackled the challenge of working where infrastructure and business support systems had been neglected for years. For Youth, it meant helping young people find opportunities in regions where unemployment runs above the 40 percent national average for youth; in some locations youth unemployment reaches 70 percent. Thus, program accomplishments that would be strong in the best of conditions are especially significant. They speak to the program’s success in project design and implementation; more importantly, they have had a major impact on the quality of life for our partners and their com- munities. In many cases they have led to collaborations among companies that were once com- petitors, advocacy and support from local governments for business where none or only token approaches existed before and links across educational institutions, students and businesses. All of this serves to give young people the skills and knowledge to become the regions’ workforce and tackle youth unemployment and outmigration. Despite these obvious obstacles of the economic conditions, Economic Security found its part- ners ready to be leaders. The trust developed between the program and its partners fostered innovation and success: business owners cooperated and collaborated with colleagues and competitors to achieve greater success for all; municipalities were convinced to think, work and invest outside the box on youth unemployment; Youth Offices accepted greater responsibility for solving unemployment within their municipalities; and young people accepted personal re- sponsibility for their futures. 1 The Government of Serbia has classified certain communities as economically devastated based on rates of unemployment, income, and economic development compared with the national average. 7 Business Support Despite working in some of the most underdeveloped regions of Serbia – during a few of the most economically challenging years in recent history – Economic Security’s beneficiaries con- tinue to grow, reach new markets, start new businesses and create new jobs. In this reporting period some of the team’s most significant results include: A MILLION DOLLARS IN TRADE FAIR SALES: Business support companies this period added $1.2 million in new sales generated from the program’s trade fair activity bringing the total sales over five years to $12.4 million. PERMANENT FOREIGN MARKETS OPENED: Economic Security-supported ASSTEX, the Sandzak textile association, succeeded in securing a $240,000 grant from the Serbian Investment and Export Promotion Agency (SIEPA) to cover almost half the cost of opening a fashion showroom and distribution center in Moscow for all its member apparel and textile manufacturers. Association members are investing their own resources to cover the approximately $260,000 in costs to open a sales center for Serbian-manufactured textiles in Russia. INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFORMS PRODUCTION: A dozen of the program’s companies were trained on and are in various stages of using computer-driven resource management and operations software. The cutting-edge technology gives managers of every department, retail sales outlets and satellite production facilities real-time access to all the companies’ operations allowing improved decision making and planning for logistical and production management. Sales staff will be able to make offers that meet client needs while at trade fairs or face-to-face meetings. MODERNIZATION FUELS EXPANSION: Between ISO standard certification activities, resource management software installation and market expansion opportunities, Economic Security programs either made or are making loan applications for nearly $1.5 million in investments for plant upgrades, expansions or other new, modern equipment. Youth Office Support The Economic Security team’s activities help Serbia’s youth integrate and become influential in the economy through two main focal points: it helps them become more competitive for jobs and it prepares them to start a business. The approach combines direct support of individuals to build entrepreneurial and leadership skills with strengthening the institutions that serve and support young people, especially local Youth Offices. The Economic Security Youth Office activities work closely with the Ministry of Youth and Sport (MoYS) and align with the National Strategy for Youth, focusing on one of its key objectives – reducing youth unemployment. Since 2008, the program has worked with 98 of the country’s 122 Youth Offices. The program has conducted training of Youth Office Coordinators and intro- duced entrepreneurship training for 1,550 individuals in 87 municipalities. The emerging role of Youth Offices as centers for career and entrepreneurship information and Youth Coordinators as leaders in developing and implementing municipal policy to reduce youth unemployment was acknowledged and formalized this period when Parliament turned the National Strategy for Youth into the Law on Youth. Over the next 18 months, the program will expand its activities to provide assistance to every functional Youth Office in Serbia. The importance of municipal Youth Offices within local government has grown over the course of their partnership with Economic Security. Even as local governments were forced to reduce 8 spending in FY 2010 due to the economic crisis, overall funding for Youth Offices has grown by more than 40 percent between 2009 and 2011. In addition to support to Youth Offices, the

ROMANIA Belgrade CROATS IN BACKA, SRIJEM AND BANAT (VOJVODINA) POSITION OF CROATS IN VOJVODINA REGARDING THEIR CULTURAL, POLITICAL, AND OTHER FUNDAMENTAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS Introduction As a result of the Croats in Vojvodina being deprived of their rights and the assimilatory policies which have calculatedly been implemented for over 70 years, the Croatian population has constantly been in decline. The war against Croatia and the destruction the war has caused directly reflect upon the status of Croats in Vojvodina. All too often they are insulted and taunted. They are attacked through public media, the Croatian media are blocked, they are mistreated by Serbian government authorities and rendered powerless in all areas of public life. Croatian cultural and historic monuments are being destroyed (Baa, Subotica, among others), and Croatian homes in Novi Slankamen have been blasted by machine gun fire, besides a whole line of similar occurrences. With that kind of politics, Serbia, especially after the cessation of the constitutional autonomy of Vojvodina, would like to destroy the will of the Croats to live in the areas of Barka, Banat, and Srijem, where Croats had already been living for thirteen hundred years.

  • Churches in Serbia and Germany in Dialogue
    TOWARD THE HEALING OF MEMORIES AND CHANGING OF PERCEPTIONS: CHURCHES IN SERBIA AND GERMANY IN DIALOGUE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Angela V. Ilić MAY 2012 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Leonard J. Swidler, Advisory Chair, Department of Religion Dr. Terry Rey, Department of Religion Dr. John C. Raines, Department of Religion Dr. Paul B. Mojzes, Rosemont College Dr. Kyriakos M. Kontopoulos, External Reader, Department of Sociology © by Angela Valeria Ilić 2012 All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines a series of interchurch consultations that took place between 1999 and 2009 with the participation of the Evangelical Church in Germany, the Roman Catholic German Bishops’ Conference and the Serbian Orthodox Church. The Protestant-Catholic-Orthodox ecumenical encounters began in the immediate aftermath of the Kosovo crisis, and aimed to support Serbia’s democratization and European integration. At a total of nine meetings, delegates from the participating churches, together with politicians, representatives of non-governmental organizations, and scholars from various fields, discussed the role of churches and religion in the two countries. The meetings provided a forum for exchanging knowledge and addressing the challenges confronting the churches and their social organizations. Through lectures, discussions, and meetings in working groups, the consultations focused on theological, legal, political, and social topics, such as church and state relations in Serbia, the role of churches in secularized society, Serbia’s relationship to the rest of Europe, reconciliation, and the healing of memories. Focusing on the content and the outcomes of the consultations, the author places them into the broader ecumenical, social and political context in which they took place.

  • Human Rights Abuses of Non-Serbs in Kosovo, Sand“Ak and Vojvodina1
    May 1994 Vol. 6, Issue 6 Human Rights Abuses of Non-Serbs In Kosovo, Sandñññak and Vojvodina1 With the world's attention distracted by events in Bosnia-Hercegovina, Serbian and Montenegrin authorities have stepped up oppression of non-Serbs in Serbia and Montenegro. In particular, incidents of police abuse, arbitrary arrests and abuse in detention have been prevalent in the three regions of Serbia and Montenegro in which non-Serbs constitute a majority or significant minority: Kosovo (a province of Serbia which is 90 percent ethnic Albanian), Sandñak (a region of Serbia and Montenegro which is over 50 percent Muslim) and Vojvodina (a province of Serbia which is approximately 19 percent ethnic Hungarian, 5.4 percent Croat and 3.4 percent Slovak).2 The governments of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia3 and Serbia have done little or nothing to curb human rights abuses in their own territory. Instead, the authorities have at times directly participated in the abuse C through direction, control and support of the police, army, paramilitary, and judiciary C and, at other times, condoned the abuse by failing to investigate and prosecute cases of abuse by armed civilians and paramilitary squads. 1 This statement was submitted to the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe on May 6, 1994. 2 Note that approximately 8 percent of Vojvodina's population identified themselves as "Yugoslav" in the 1991 census. 3 "Yugoslavia" refers to the self-proclaimed Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the union of Serbia (including the provinces of Vojvodina and Kosovo) and Montenegro. Although claiming successor status to the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY), the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has not been internationally recognized as a successor state to the SFRY.

  • Some Characteristics of Groundwater in Southeast Srem
    Journal of Agricultural Sciences UDC:631.62:631.445.24 Vol. 54, No 1, 2009 Original scientific paper Pages 30-43 SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF GROUNDWATER IN SOUTHEAST SREM Enike Gregorić,1 Nevenka Đurović1 and D. Rudić1 Abstract: The area of Southeast Srem is rich in groundwater. Water regime of the first aquifer has a great significance from the standpoint of agricultural production. 32 piezometers were singled out and groundwater depth was measured aiming at the analysis of some groundwater characteristics. In the area of Southeast Srem, groundwater level fluctuates very widely, depending on the distance from water courses. Mean value of groundwater fluctuation in Southeast Srem amounts to 3.49m. In this area, groundwater moves in Southeast direction, i.e. in the direction of the main receiving streams of the region, the Sava and the Danube. The greatest risk of groundwater overflowing in Southeast Srem occurs in the central parts of the loess terrace and in low parts of the alluvial plain along the Sava, where groundwater level is at the depth of less than 1m. Key words: Southeast Srem, groundwater, fluctuation, movement. I n t r o d u c t i o n Southeast Srem is a part of the Pannonian Plain, and it consists of three clearly distinctive entities: the loess plateau, extending from the slopes of Fruška Gora to the Danube upstream of Zemun, average altitude about 100 m, the Srem loess terrace, average altitude 75-78 m, and the river Sava 1 Enike Gregorić PhD, Nevenka Đurović, PhD, Dragan Rudić, PhD, Faculty of Agriculture, 11081 Belgrade – Zemun, Nemanjina 6, Serbia 31 Enike Gregorić et al.
