  • Podgorice, Grade Moj Radile: Popovic Mia, Minic Jana Ix-F Podgorica
    PODGORICE, GRADE MOJ RADILE: POPOVIC MIA, MINIC JANA IX-F PODGORICA . Ime Pogorica dobila je po brdu Gorica, u čijem se podnozju nalazi. Nekoliko puta ime grada je mijenjano: od Birziminijuma i Alate u robovlasničkom poretku, preko predfeudalnog – Ribnica, te feudalnog, našeg i turskog, Podgorica, sve do 1946 kada je ponijela ime Josipa Broza – Tita, tadašnjeg revolcuionara i predsjednika SFRJ i dobila naziv Titograd. 1992 godine Titogradu je vraćeno ime Podgorica, koje i danas nosi. 2 SIMBOLI PODGORICE - Zastava Podgorice, zajedno sa grbom, je simbol grada Podgorice, glavnog grada Crne Gore. Trenutna zastava je na snazi od 2006. godine. Zastava je bijele osnove, sa dvije horizontalne i jednom prelomljenom plavom prugom. Pruge predstavljaju Duklju i Meteon. Metaforički, one predstavljaju temelj današnje Podgorice. Treća, prelomljena linija, predstavlja arhitektonske simbole Podgorice, odnosto most Millenium. - Grb Podgorice je zvanični grb crnogorskog glavnog grada Podgorice, koji je usvojen 30. marta 2006. godine. Autor grba je Srđan Marlović. - Srebrna boja štita predstavlja vodu. Među svim karakteristikama Glavnog grada, najvažnije je bogatstvo vodom (6 reka i Skadarsko jezero, najveće jezero na Balkanu). -Bedemska kruna predstavlja Podgoricu kao glavni grad. - Dva srebrna lava koji pridržavaju grb uzeti su sa najstarijeg poznatog grba Podgorice, onog kojeg je koristio Božidar Vuković-Podgoričanin. - Vinova loza ispod štita i njegovih držača predstavlja vinograde po kojima je podgorički kraj poznat. - Cenar grba ima isti dizajn kao zastava, samim tim I znacenje. 3 OSNOVNE GEOGRAFSKE KARAKTERISTIKE PODGORICE Podgorica je smještena u centralnom dijelu Crne Gore, u predjelu ispresijecanom riječnim koritima. Rijeke Morača i Ribnica protiču kroz sam grad, dok Zeta, Cijevna, Sitnica i Mareza protiču u njegovoj neposrednoj blizini.

  • Inventory of Tourist Facilities and Capacities in Lake Skadar-Shkodra Area
    Inventory of tourist facilities and capacities in Lake Skadar-Shkodra area INVENTORY OF TOURIST FACILITIES AND CAPACITIES IN LAKE SKADAR-SHKODRA AREA Prepared by LAKE SKADAR-SHKODRA INTEGRATED ECOSYSTEM MANAGEMENT PROJECT July 2011 1 Inventory of tourist facilities and capacities in Lake Skadar-Shkodra area INTRODUCTION Lake Skadar-Shkodra is the largest lake in the Balkan Peninsula shared between Montenegro and Albania. The Montenegrin part of the lake and its surrounding area were declared a national park in 1983 and in Albania a Managed Nature Reserve. In 1996 in Montenegro and in 2006 in Albania, Skadar-Shkodra Lake was included in the Ramsar list of wetlands of international importance. Lake Skadar is a wonderful place with mirrored waters, rocky shores and wetlands full of wildlife with more than 270 species of birds, plenty of natural herbs, traditional fishing villages, numerous islet monasteries and cultural heritage sites, fascinating beaches surrounded by karst mountains, various amusing, social and cultutral events. Lake Skadar area is where some of the best wines and organic food in Montenegro can be found, cultivated by the local producers especially in Crmnica and Godinje valleys in Montenegro and Shtoj village in Albania. There are also numerous accomodation facilities, restaurants and shopping centers, on the Montenegrin and Labanian sides of the lake that make this area attractive to hiome and foreign tourists. Being a tourist attraction with all these natural and cultural resources the aim of this inventory is to prepare a joint Montenegrin and Albanian inventory on tourist facilities and capacities of Lake Shkodra area, to promote Lake Skadar-Shkodra as a joint tourist attraction internally and internationally.

  • Building a Potential to Counteract Hybrid Threats Through Cooperation and Regional Security
    Information & Security: An International Journal Emil Eftimov, v.39:1, 2018, 13-20 https://doi.org/10.11610/isij.3901 BUILDING A POTENTIAL TO COUNTERACT HYBRID THREATS THROUGH COOPERATION AND REGIONAL SECURITY Vice Admiral Emil EFTIMOV Abstract: The main goal of this article is to present and discuss the opportunities to deepen cooperation between the Alliance and partners in countering hybrid threats. The focus is put on the eastern and southern NATO flanks, where the most advanced partner formats like Partnership for Peace (PfP) and Mediterranean Dialog (MD) have been developed. The first conclusion is that NATO partnership programs and the vari- ous initiatives in the interest of the partners are aimed at achieving stability in the pe- riphery of the Alliance by increasing partners’ resilience to various types of threats. In addition, the author argues that success in countering hybrid threats in the current se- curity environment is impossible without parallel and coordinated action of NATO in coordination with other international organizations, especially the European Union. Keywords: NATO, EU, Partnership for Peace, Mediterranean Dialogue, hybrid threats, resilience, international military cooperation. Introduction The strategy on NATO role in countering the hybrid type of war states that the first reaction or response comes from the nation under threat / attack, and the member states of NATO should build a set of capabilities and countermeasures. Also, there is a provision for the possibility of help or assistance by organizations whose members or partners these states are. In this case, the fundamental role of NATO in supporting the member states and partners is in the military aspect.

The Barcelona Process José Luis Neila Hernández The Mediterranean is an open book whose pages testify to the complexity of a history marked by meetings of minds and misunderstandings between Europeans and the Islamic-Arab world. Over the last two centuries, these sideways glances and the Mediterranean’s geo-historic reality have developed along uneven lines manifested, for example, in European/Western hegemony, embodied in colonialism, and the Arab world’s increasing awareness of its position, expressed through a search for new directions prompted by the Arab Renaissance (Nahda), and for ways to embrace Western European modernity while preserving its identifying codes. Decolonisation was to focus debate within southern Mediterranean Islamic-Arab societies on how to meet the challenge of modernisation and identity preservation. The development of international society — the Cold War and the profound changes occurring in its wake — and of the very future of Europe, particularly the European integration process, were to have far-reaching consequences in the Mediterranean. This area has been an abiding concern since the early days of European integration because of its connection with certain European countries, particularly France.

  • Mediterranean Dialogue
    PRESS - INFO - PRESS MEDITERRANEAN DIALOGUE The Washington Summit will give fresh impetus to developing NATO’s Mediterranean Dialogue, which was launched in 1994 and currently involves six non-NATO countries: Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia. The Dialogue is aimed at creating good relations and better mutual understanding throughout the Mediterranean, and at promoting security and stability in the region. It reflects the view that security in that region is linked to security in Europe. Political discussions with participating countries provide an opportunity to share views on a range of security issues relevant to the region. Moreover, an annual work programme sets out measures for practical cooperation that focus on building confidence through cooperation on security related issues in the military field, as well as in the areas of information, civil emergency planning and science. All participating countries are offered the same basis for discussion and activities but the level of engagement varies from country to country. Activities take place on a self-funding basis. This limits the capacity of some countries to participate. In December 1998, NATO Foreign Ministers agreed to explore ways of enhancing cooperation with Mediterranean Dialogue countries. As a result, Heads of State and Government have decided to enhance both the political and practical dimensions of the Dialogue, including through further opportunities for discussion and strengthened cooperation in areas where NATO can bring an added value, particularly in the military field, and where the Dialogue countries have expressed interest. NATO’s Mediterranean Dialogue complements other international efforts in the region such as the European Union’s Barcelona Process, the Middle East Peace Process, and the Mediterranean initiatives of the Western European Union (WEU) and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
