Bosnia and Herzegovina – Overview Bosnia and Herzegovina has been in IFPS zone as of 23rd December 2004. This significantly improved the ATS, over the years as well as today when the new FPL format needs to be used as of November 2012. Bosnia and Herzegovina civil aviation authorities and agencies are responsible of air navigation services at four airports, Sarajevo, Mostar, Tuzla and Banja Luka. The FIR Sarajevo area control has been still served by CCL (Croatia) and SMATSA (Serbia). The BiH civil aviation activities are in short organised as follows: FEDCAD BHANSA BHDCA RSCAD Coordination ATC Projects ATC Sarajevo, Mostar, Delegation Delegation Banja Luka Tuzla Project New FPL Project New FPL 2012 2012 New FPL 2012 ATS Server En route DPS ATS Server Convertor LQQQ Training Charge Office ATC Sarajevo Training AISBH/ARO/ DPS ARO/ATCO ATCO Project /training Coordination Dr Ante Starčevića bb, 88000 Mostar Tel: +387 (0) 36 449-230 Dr. Ante Starcevica bb, 88000 Mostar Poštanski pretinac 92, 88101 Mostar Fax: +387 (0) 36 327-811 Post Office Box 92, 88101 Mostar Bosna i Hercegovina E-mail: [email protected] Bosnia and Herzegovina http://www.fedcad.gov.ba 1/5 BOSNA I HERCEGOVINA BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA FEDERACIJA BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE FEDERATION OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA FEDERALNO MINISTARSTVO PROMETA I KOMUNIKACIJA FEDERAL MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT AND COMMUNICATIONS FEDERALNA DIREKCIJA ZA CIVILNO ZRAKOPLOVSTVO - FEDERALNA DIREKCIJA ZA CIVILNU AVIJACIJU FEDERAL CIVIL AVIATION DEPARTMENT BHDCA is the state organisation, civil aviation authorities responsible of the air navigation services for Bosnia and Herzegovina. As illustrated, the provision of services for ATC-s has been delegated to the two Civil Aviation Departments: Federation Civil Aviation Department- FEDCAD and RS Civil Aviation Department – RSCAD. The two Departments have started the projects of New FPL 2012 harmonisation through the upgrade of the existing ATS server. The projects are coordinated. BHANSA is the ANSP Agency that has been established recently. In this transition period the four quoted entities function through the Coordination Body whose members are four Directors and Deputies of BHDCA and BHANSA. The Coordination Body oversees the BiH ATM Project. New En Route DPS has been installed and is in test operation. FEDCAD Com server provides the communication services. All communication with CFMU Test System has been performed via FEDCAD Com (BiH Com LQQQ). 2. New FPL 2012 Implementation and Testing The FEDCAD Project has been split in two: ATS Messaging Server and Com Gateway - New FPL 2012 Convertor. The New FPL 2012 Convertor will provide translation service from New to Old for the new BiH En Route DPS and ATC Sarajevo DPS. The tests will be performed within dynamic Opt 2 and 3. ATS Messaging Servers of FEDCAD and RSCAD have been upgraded in parallel and are identical. FEDCAD will organise the Test sessions within Opt 2 and 3 through the copied operational traffic to test addresses as follows: LQSAZPZX → LQSAZPZT LQSAZAZX → LQSAZAZT LQMOZPZX → LQMOZPZT LQTZZPZX → LQTZZPZT LQBKZPZX → LQBKZPZT LQSBZQZX → LQSBZQZT LQSBZQZX is the address of Sarajevo FIR and BiH Com LQQQ has been receiving all the related traffic in parallel to operational en route control sites - CCL and SMATSA. Via the Com Gateway the test traffic will be directed and mapped to the internal test destinations, for both the Convertor test and the ATS messaging server tests. The test messages will be sent from the above listed test addresses, as prescribed in the CFMU Test document. Test messages will be distinguished from operational traffic. The next Page scheme shows a concept planned for the tests – will remain the concept in operation as of Nov 2012 or even during the transition period ahead. It is also possible to arrange the coordination with neighbouring centres to exchange test New FPL format traffic as shown.

New FPL 2012 Training Sessions As a final step in the Project FEDCAD will organise the training sessions for ARO staff. Local instructor will be engaged for the task. The sessions will take place at every location separately, in two to four groups, depending on the number of ARO/ ATCO staff. The training material will comprise the ATS messaging server Users Handbook and CFMU Training Material that will be published. Preliminary training will take place during the Opt 2 and 3 sessions. The following staff will be instructed to use New FPL: ATC Sarajevo (Feb- May 2012) - 20 ARO staff/ 20 ATCO ATC Mostar (June 2012) - 5 ARO staff/ 10 ATCO ATC Tuzla (June 2012) - 5 ARO staff/ 10 ATCO Training with ATC Banja Luka will be coordinated with Banja Luka Com engineers and ARO instructors. En Route ATCO/FD who are going through the training presently will be instructed in a later phase prior to start of operation, but also coordinated with En Route ATCO instructors. 4. Transition to New FPL 2012 As the entire Project is a process, the logical next step will be the gradual start of using the new FPL 2012 by ARO staff as of September 2012. The period from 12th to 15th Nov will be considered with special care. All eventual doubts will be solved in advance via the settings within the Com server by address mapping and converting rules. This means that absolutely any misuse will be avoided by restricting to the Old format where applicable and allowing New FPL format where acceptable. The FEDCAD Project was initiated at the end of 2009 as a part of upgrade of Com and ATS messaging server in operation as of 2002. The implementation was performed in two steps: - replacement of hardware and improvement of network settings, mid 2010 - new software release comprising new standards and recommended practices, start 2011 As every Project this one also required preparation and planning. Even with a start in 2009 and quite smooth implementation we are only the right track to be able to comply with the new standard in time, by Nov 2012. We also have planned enough spare time to be able to correct eventual malfunctions both in the operational procedures and in the system concept. The Project has been performed with the approval and thanks to support and understanding by FEDCAD Director, Mr. Amadeo Mandic. The national regulations will closely follow the implementation which will be coordinated with BHDCA, the State Office.

Internal Coordination All the changes will be timely presented to local airports and transport companies, in direct contact and in informative meetings. These meetings will be organised constantly through the period. These public companies will implement necessary changes on their own, but will be supported by Civil Aviation infrastructure whenever necessary in the view of good cooperation. 6. Conclusion The local Project New FPL 2012 has been implemented following strictly the rules set by ICAO and CFMU, especially the Convertor implementation. The process has been significantly improved thanks to excellent and timely introduction by ICAO and CFMU, and a number of precise and comprehensive documents regularly submitted and provided online. Also the regular contact with other participants in the over whole project has been important. Being very conscious of the importance of good international cooperation and the importance of support from ICAO and CFMU, BiH will also this time respond to the task seriously.

  • A Federalism for Bosnia

    A Federalism for Bosnia

    A Federalism for Bosnia 14 January 2004, Transitions Online (www.tol.cz) The European Stability Initiative offers a thoughtful, though not radical, solution for reorganizing Bosnia. But can it work? by Valery Perry SARAJEVO, Bosnia and Herzegovina--The recent proposal from the European Stability Initiative (ESI) may not be as radical as its enticing title suggests, but it does deserve considered thought for its strengths and potential challenges to implementation. In “Making Federalism Work--A Radical Proposal for Practical Reform” (8 January 2004), ESI’s writers suggest that BiH be administratively organized in 12 cantons: the 10 cantons that currently comprise the largely Bosniak and Croat Federation entity, plus the Serb-dominated Republika Srpska entity and Brcko District. This would result in a more typical structure of governance based on three layers of government: the central government, 12 cantons, and their municipalities. This proposal, while useful for its straightforward nature, is not however, an entirely new concept, for its essence is based on the removal of the level of entity governance--in the Federation by dissolving the Federation structures entirely, and in the RS by establishing the current territory of the entity as one large canton that is equal in autonomy, rights and responsibilities as the other 11 proposed cantons. The two entity-levels of bureaucracy and expense have always been the problem in developing streamlined and logical governmental structures in BiH. They are also the unit of government with no parallel in other developed democracies. Calls for the disappearance of the entity structure of governance have come in various forms in the past: The Party for BiH’s (SBiH) 2000 campaign slogan “For a BiH without Entities” was perhaps the most blatant.

    Chemistry Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina

    c e p s Journal | Vol.10 | No1 | Year 2020 83 doi: 10.26529/cepsj.715 Chemistry Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina Meliha Zejnilagić-Hajrić*1 and Ines Nuić2 • In this paper, the education system in Bosnia and Herzegovina is pre- sented in the light of current state-level legislation, with an emphasis on chemistry education at the primary, secondary and tertiary level. The consequences of the last war in our country still persist and are visible in many aspects of everyday life, including the education system, thus lim- iting the efforts of education professionals to follow international trends in education. There are three valid curricula for primary education at the national level, each of which differs in the national group of school subjects. Teaching methods are common for all three curricula and are mainly teacher-oriented. The situation is similar with regard to second- ary education. Study programmes at the university level are organised in accordance with the Bologna principles. The programmes are made by the universities themselves and approved by the corresponding ministry of education. Chemical education research in Bosnia and Herzegovina is mainly conducted at the University of Sarajevo. It deals with (1) the problems of experimental work in chemistry teaching, resulting in more than 60 experiments optimised for primary and secondary school, (2) integrating the knowledge of chemistry, physics and physical chemis- try for university students, with regard to students’ difficulties observed during university courses and potential solutions, and (3) the effective- ness of web-based learning material in primary school chemistry for the integration of macroscopic and submicroscopic levels.

The Note briefly summarises approaches to post-conflict peacebuilding in two towns in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Mostar in the South-West and Brčko in the North-East. The two towns have been compared due to the different approaches to peacebuilding within one country in the transition from conflict. 2 Context: A Brief Summary of the Post-Conflict Arrangements in Bosnia and Herzegovina During the process of the break-up of Yugoslavia, the war commenced in Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of the constituent republics in the federation, following a declaration of independence in 1992. In broad terms, the conflict was generally depicted as one between the three main ethnic communities in the republic: Serbs, Croats and Muslims (later to be referred to as ‘Bosniaks’), although the actual conflict processes were more Providing research and information services to the Northern Ireland Assembly 1 NIAR 264a-014 Briefing Note complex than this.

Strong cause-consequence relationship of regional development and sustainable, humane development, or Comprehensive Development Framework (CDF further on) is not less important, especially in context of B&H obligations to implement the documents adopted on the world and European level in period from 1992 to 2001. Additional arguments for choosing this topic can be found also in the importance of regional development while profiling the development for the next century in context of new political moments. Bosnia -Herzegovina, as an independent, sovereign and internationally recognized country is fully responsible for its entire development. Issues of regional development, especially the regionalization of Bosnia -Herzegovina have been elaborated thoroughly and for a long time in papers of B&H authors, that represents solid foundations for the development policy in the second half of XX century.

    Tuzla, the Third Side, and the Bosnian War by Joshua N

    Tuzla, The Third Side, and the Bosnian War By Joshua N. Weiss1 We have always been a melting pot and have had the possibility to stay like that during the terrible war. That's why the nationalist forces could not manifest themselves here, though they have tried it. Selim Beslagic, Mayor of Tuzla Introduction More than 250,000 dead. 500,000 refugees. The worst war in Europe since World War II. Unfortunately, these facts and statements are only too familiar to those who experienced or witnessed the "Third Balkan War." This war ripped through the heart of Southern Europe from 1991 until 1995 leaving unspeakable atrocities in its wake, horrors most humans can't imagine, and a nationalist sentiment that appeared to doom the area for decades to come. The nationalist sentiment was so strong and pervasive that it moved people to commit acts even they would not believe they were capable of carrying out. To briefly try to understand why the war occurred in Bosnia-Herzegovina (heretofore simply Bosnia) one must begin by understanding who was involved, why they were involved, and what the guiding forces were that tipped the former Yugoslavia into chaos. The parties to this conflict were numerous, but may be divided along three dominant national/ethnic lines. There were the Bosnian Croats (who were supported by their brethren in neighboring Croatia) lead by Franjo Tudman, the Bosnian Serbs (who were supported by their brethren in Serbia) lead by Slobodan Milosevic and Radovan Karadic, and the Bosnian Muslims (who did not have a direct surrogate, but did get help from some Islamic countries) lead by Alija Izetbegovic.

    WAR WASTE and POLLUTION of KARSTIC AREA of BOSNIA and HERZEGOVINA with Pcbs

    LEVELS IN SOIL AND WATER WAR WASTE AND POLLUTION OF KARSTIC AREA OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA WITH PCBs NENA PICER1, Neven Miošić2, Vedranka Hodak-Kobasić1, Tanja Kovač1, Violeta Čalić1, Hasim Hrvatović2 1Rudjer Boskovic Institute, Zagreb 2Geological survey, Sarajevo Introduction During the recent war, the karst area of Bosnia & Herzegovina has been jeopardized by hazardous waste and deserves particular attention because of its exceptional ecological sensitivity and unfortunately unscrupulous destruction of natural resources, infrastructure, homes and enterprises. This was the reason for creation and planning of a joint three year Project – APOPSBAL, within which scientists from the jeopardized countries (Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Serbia and Montenegro) with the help of scientists from other friendly countries (Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia and Greece) would identify the real problems concerning the PCB and other POPs contamination of the environment1. Objectives of this Project in Bosnia and Herzegovina are: 1) To collect data about damaged facilities with oil with PCBs and also other even more dangereous POPs in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 2) Much better determining the hydrogeological fate of PCBs and other POPs compounds in the most threatened areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina polluted with the POPs. Special emphasis will be paid for the sensitive karstic media of these areas. 3) To recognize in the field directly the technical state of electrotransformers and capacitors with pyralene with special attention to spilling of this oil into the environment. 4) To sample soil and sediments from the sites thought polluted with PCBs and to analyse themselves on its content. 5) To choose several sites for atmospheric monitoring samples with POPs, which are in surroundings to the ground argumentative contaminated with POPs in Bosnia and Herzegovina to establish real data about level of contamination of this very important part of human ecosphere.
