Banja Luka For the printer Branislav Ivanković Print-run 500 Publication of this book was supported by the Open Society Fund BiH and Local Governance Initiative Budapest BLOCK BY BLOCK IT’S GOOD TO BUILD WELL – models of organisation of local self-governance – EDA 2008 PUBLISHER’S FOREWORD Th e book you have before you is preceded, and precedes itself, by various research projects and publications. It is preceded by a comprehensive and complex analysis of the situation in local governance and self-governance in BiH, published under the same title in 2005, and BiH local self-governance development strategy, published in 2006 and supported by a consensus among the most concerned domestic and international stakeholders. Th e analysis fi rst identifi ed the problem in the basic model of local self-governance applied in both entities: a confl ict between uneven territorial structure on one hand, and uniform structure of competences on the other. Subsequently, the research methods used focused on this problem in order to create a fundamental precondition for designing substantial functional and fi scal decentralisation. Th us, a relevant programme was designed, managed by EDA, the development agency from Banja Luka, supported by the Open Society Fund BiH and Local Governance Initiative Budapest. In terms of concepts, dealing with a fundamental problem requires a change in the current territorial and functional model: harmonisation of territorial struc- ture (fragmentation or merger of municipalities) or diff erentiation of competences (between rural and urban municipalities, between municipalities and cities); or, at the same time, mutual adjustment of both territories and functions? What should be the choice? Where to start? We have decided to postpone experiments until we have studied the experiences of countries of shared communal past, which are already in the “experimental stage” (Slovenia, Croatia and Macedonia), as well as experiences from Denmark, a key representative of the Scandinavian model of “wellbeing” and an advocate of the pragmatic approach to decentralisation and local self-governance organisation. “Block by Block – It’s Good To Build Well” contains six chapters. Th e fi rst fi ve are case-studies of countries selected on the basis of certain similarities and diff erences, and the last one is a conceptual overview and an introduction to further research. However unwise, there oft en seem to be simple solutions for complex problems in this country, and experiments take place in reality instead of with models or on paper. Hoping to contribute to changing this socially dangerous habit, together with the editor and the authors who worked hard on their superb contributions, we believe that this publication initiates serious professional, as well as political debates on fundamental issues of development of local self-governance in BiH.

It is an island state of 43.094 km2, comprising the Jylland peninsula and 474 islands, the largest of which are Sjælland, Fyn, Lolland, Falster and Bornholm. Th e Faeroe Islands and Greenland are parts of Denmark, though self-governed (autonomous) and are not part of the European Union (hereinaft er: the EU) or the European economic area, i.e. the EU Treaty with the Kingdom of Norway, the Republic of Island and the Duchy of Lichtenstein, and will thus not be covered in this paper. 1 Laws adopted by the Danish National Assembly (Folketinget) do not, as a rule, apply to the Faeroe Islands or to Greenland, but their eff ect may include them. Th e Danish Constitution (Grundloven) was adopted on 5 June 1849 2 and was amended in 1866, 1915, and most recently on 5 June 1953. Danish municipalities also date far back because in its Chapter VIII (old § 96, current § 82), the 1849 Constitution contains a provision on municipal (self) governance: “Th e right of municipalities to manage their own aff airs independently, under state supervision, shall be set by law.” Th is means that the legislator defi nes, 1 Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, www.workindk.dk 2 Th is date is celebrated as the Constitution and Statehood Day. 12 BLOCK BY BLOCK IT’S GOOD TO BUILD WELL within a wide scope, the content of municipal (self)governance, both in terms of tasks assigned to municipalities, and in terms of setting the boundaries of unwritten (common) municipal aff airs. Th erefore, municipal (self)governance cannot be abolished in full.

Danish, Norwegian ands Swedish are quite similar and native speakers understand each other. Th e offi cial religion is Lutheranism (95% of the population), governed by the People’s Church (Folkekirken). Th ere are 3% of other Christian religions and some 2% of Muslims.4 Th e currency is the Danish crown (hereinaft er: DKR), and although it is an EU member state, Denmark is not part of the Euro-zone, as its population opted out at the referendum held on 28 September 2000: of 87.6% of the total votes, 53.2% were against.5 3 www.landesregierung.schleswig-holstein.de/coremedia/generator/Aktueller_20Bestand/StK/Information/ Grenzregion__SH__DK/RegionSyddanmarkSchleswig__DK.html and the Ministry of Health and Home Aff airs: www.im.dk/im/site.aspx?p=238 4 www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/da.html 5 www.eu-oplysningen.dk/dkeu/dk/afstemninger/afstemning/2000/ AN ORGANISED HOUSE A STRONG COMMUNITY 13 REFORMS IN ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND TASK DISTRIBUTION IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR Th e 1970 public sector reform decreased the number of municipalities to 275 and the number of districts to 14. It also reorganised the regular tasks and duties and the state assigned greater infl uence and more tasks to municipalities and districts. Th e public sector has been gradually decentralised since then. Th e latest public sector reform took eff ect as of 1 January 2007 and it introduced huge changes. It comprises three key elements: 1. it established a new map of (self)governance with 98 municipalities, instead of the previous 271 municipalities and 5 regions; 2. it introduced a new distribution of tasks; 3. it introduced a reform of fi nancing and harmonisation. Th e previous distribution of tasks was no longer purposeful in several areas, and municipalities and districts were not large enough to perform the tasks assigned to them by law, etc.

Natural resources for tourism development I.1. Geographic location The heart of Osogovo Region is the mountain of Osogovo with an area of 1535.57 sq.km, three thirds of which are located in the southeast of the Republic of Macedonia, and one third – in the upper southwest of the Republic of Bulgaria. To the north, the mountains end at the fertile Slavishko Field (MK) and Kamenishka Hollow (BG); to the west is the course of Kriva River and the Probishtip-Zletovo Basin (MK); to the south – the Kochani Hollow (MK); to the east – Kyustendil Hollow and Struma River Valley (BG). The municipalities that include territories from Osogovo Mountains and thus form the Osogovo Region are: - In Macedonia (alphabetically): Cheshinovo-Obleshevo, Delchevo, Kochani, Kratovo, Kriva Palanka, Makedonska Kamenitsa, Probishtip, Rankovce (and a tiny part of Vinitsa which is not included in this survey); - In Bulgaria (alphabetically): Kyustendil and Nevestino. The territory of Osogovo Mountains is dominated by forests (58%) and mountain pastures/meadows (about 24%). Arable lands are understandably a low percentage, as well as urban areas; however their percentage is much higher if the whole municipal territories are considered. Cheshinovo-Obleshevo Municipality Total territory – 124 sq. km.; only 8.5% are forests, 34.60% - pastures and 53.40% are arable lands.

  • 97 Skopje Region in the Focus of Internal Migration
    Географски разгледи (50) 97-108 (2017) Geographical Reviews UDK: 314.15-026.48(497.711) SKOPJE REGION IN THE FOCUS OF INTERNAL MIGRATION Biljana APOSTOLOVSKA TOSHEVSKA, Marija LJAKOSKA, Mirjanka MADJEVIKJ University Ss. Cyril and Methodius, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Institute of Geography; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT According to the area that it occupies, the Skopje region is the smallest, but the most populated region in the Republic of Macedonia. Almost a third of the population of the country lives on only 7% of its territory. The population growth is due to the natural increase and immigration in the region. About 35% of the total internal migration movements in the country took place only towards the Skopje region and within the region in the period 2005-2015. This intensive immigration has certain specificities. Most evident is the direction of movement of the migrants from other regions to certain parts of the Skopje region, more precisely to a place where someone from their previous area of residence had al- ready moved, or an area that is spatially closer to them. Most attractive immigration location are the city municipalities. 60% of all immigrants to the Skopje region have moved only in four municipalities of the city of Skopje. The reasons for moving are different, although for the most part they are economic, but also people move for education, marriage, etc. How- ever, it is very likely that when a change in the social status occurs, there is a need to change the place of residence. Also, the need for migration is closely related to the life cycle and the age of the individual.
