    DANUBE POLLUTION REDUCTION PROGRAMME NATIONAL REVIEWS 1998 BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ministry of Agriculture, Water Management and Forestry in cooperation with the Programme Coordination Unit UNDP/GEF Assistance DANUBE POLLUTION REDUCTION PROGRAMME NATIONAL REVIEWS 1998 BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ministry of Agriculture, Water Management and Forestry in cooperation with the Programme Coordination Unit UNDP/GEF Assistance Preface The National Reviews were designed to produce basic data and information for the elaboration of the Pollution Reduction Programme (PRP), the Transboundary Analysis and the revision of the Strategic Action Plan of the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR). Particular attention was also given to collect data and information for specific purposes concerning the development of the Danube Water Quality Model, the identification and evaluation of hot spots, the analysis of social and economic factors, the preparation of an investment portfolio and the development of financing mechanisms for the implementation of the ICPDR Action Plan. For the elaboration of the National Reviews, a team of national experts was recruited in each of the participating countries for a period of one to four months covering the following positions: Socio-economist with knowledge in population studies, Financial expert (preferably from the Ministry of Finance), Water Quality Data expert/information specialist, Water Engineering expert with knowledge in project development. Each of the experts had to organize his or her work under the supervision of the respective Country Programme Coordinator and with the guidance of a team of International Consultants. The tasks were laid out in specific Terms of Reference. At a Regional Workshop in Budapest from 27 to 29 January 1998, the national teams and the group of international consultants discussed in detail the methodological approach and the content of the National Reviews to assure coherence of results.

  • Permanent Mission of the Republic of Croatia to the International
    Permanent Mission of the Republic of Croatia EF.DEL/10/07/Corr.1 to the International Organizations in Vienna 23 January 2007 ENGLISH only Statement made by Mr. Zdravko KRMEK, State Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management (Session IV of the 15th OSCE Economic and Environmental Forum, Vienna, 23 January 2007) Mr. Chairman, in the framework of our today's discussion I would like to stress the importance of a consultation between neighbouring states and at the regional level when combating soil degradation in the aim to avoid social problems linked to sustainable development. The Republic of Croatia, as probably a number of other states who have been part of former federations or composite states, has interesting experience in the field: rivers or river basins of internal nature are now of international character. This requires a number of interstate agreements on integral water management. One of the best examples for good cooperation on the regional level is without any doubt the Framework Agreement in Sava River Basin signed in 2003 by four countries of the Former Yugoslav Federation: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia with the participation of international partners including the Stability Pact and the OSCE. This initiative is today better known as Sava River Initiative and the first experience shows that this is a very good basis for further cooperation between these four countries. With the Republic of Slovenia there is also the Agreement of Integral Water Management, signed in 1997, as well as with Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1996. With the Republic of Montenegro a preparation of such an agreement is in final phase, as well as with the Republic of Serbia.

DASHI, launched by WWF in 2011, aims to reduce the adverse impacts of hydropower development in the Western Balkans and to promote good practices in the region. The Initiative focuses on the protection of the region’s most precious freshwater ecosystems, in particular Ramsar wetlands such as Livanjsko Polje and Hutovo Blato in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Lake Skadar shared by Albania and Montenegro. HYDROPOWER NEWS FROM THE REGION WWF reveals the undiscovered world of Dinarides Through the Dinaric Arc Parks project (www.discoverdinarides.com) WWF urges the region and the world to discover the “undiscovered world of Dinarides.” The largest canyon in the world after the canyon of the Colorado River; the oldest and largest rainforest in Europe; meadows with more orchid species than there are in the whole UK; the largest and longest gorge in Europe ... all this is hiding in the Dinaric Arc region! Inspired by all these amazing facts, the creative agency Leo Burnett in Croatia designed a media campaign to promote the brand “Parks Dinarides” which can be seen from April in numerous newspapers, internet portals and on many TV stations throughout the region. www.discoverdinarides.com Energy Strategy for the “The current energy strategy for the Balkans is not in line with European Western Balkans environmental standards” (Jelko Kacin, EP MP) In February, the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the European Parliament (AFET) held a public debate on the energy strategy of the European Energy Community for the countries of the western Balkans, chaired by MP Jelko Kacin.

  • Biodiversity of Herpetofauna of the Prenj and Čvrsnica Mts. (Bosnia and Herzegovina)

(Bosnia and Herzegovina) Bioraznolikost herpetofaune planina Prenj i Čvrsnica (Bosna i Hercegovina) 1 1 1 1 1 1 EMINA ŠUNJE* , ADNAN ZIMIĆ , BORIS STJEPANOVIĆ , BENJAMIN JUSIĆ , MIRZA ČENGIĆ , MAJA BRADARIĆ , 1 SAUDIN MERDAN 1Herpetological Association in Bosnia and Hercegovina ATRA, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Hercegovina; *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Herpetological research of the Prenj and Čvrsnica mountains has a relatively long tradition, but not enough scientific attention was devoted to them. Literature data on herpetofauna of Prenj and Čvrsnica is old, sporadic and rare. The aim of this research was to collect all data on the herpetofauna for the given mountains and determine the importance of the area for the herpetofaunal biodiversity of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B-H). The analysis of data showed that the area of Prenj and Čvrsnica is inhabited by 11 species of amphibians (55 % of the total number of amphibians in B-H) and 24 species of reptiles (83% of the total number of reptiles in B-H) which differ in vertical and horizontal distribution. The registered biodiversity is extremely high and is a consequence of the geographical position of these mountains which border the Mediterranean climate zone in B-H. Key words: distribution, submediterranean, amphibians, reptiles, biodiversity. Sažetak Herpetološka istraživanja planina Prenj i Čvrsnica imaju relativno dugu tradiciju, no znanje o njima još uvijek nije zadovoljavajuće. Literaturni podaci o herpetofauni Prenja i Čvrsnice su stari, sporadični i rijetki.

  • Local Memory Practices of the Memorial Complex at Mrakovica, Bosnia and Herzegovina
    Manuela BRENNER The Construction, De- and Reconstruction of History and Memory: Local Memory Practices of the Memorial Complex at Mrakovica, Bosnia and Herzegovina THE CONSTRUCTION, DE- AND RECONSTRUCTION OF HISTORY AND MEMORY: LOCAL MEMORY PRACTICES OF THE MEMORIAL COMPLEX AT MRAKOVICA, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Manuela BRENNER University of Regensburg UDK: 069(497.6 Mrakovica):94(4)“1941/1945“ 069(497.6 Mrakovica:355(497.6)“1992/1995“ Prethodno priopćenje Primljeno: 07.10.2013. Prihvaćeno: 05.01.2014. This paper examines the memory practices of the memorial complex at Mrakovica at the Kozara National Park in the Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The original concept of the memorial site, founded in 1972, was to keep the Kozara-epos alive. The erected monument, the memorial wall and the museum were built to remember one of the biggest battles during the Second World War on Yugoslav soil during which more than ten thousand Partisan fighters and civilians lost their lives. During the communist era the memorial site fit into the official memory frame: the high number of casualties, especially civilians, was put into the foreground and the Partisans in their struggle for liberation were glorified. The key component of the official narrative was the slogan brotherhood and unity. After the armed conflict in the 1990s, the site underwent several transformations. New memorial frames were set by nationalists; thus history and memory were thereby de- and reconstructed. The new narrative included not only victims of the Second World War but exclusively those victims belonging to the ethnic group of Serbs of the First World War and the conflict in 1992-95.

    BOSNIA FORESTRY PROJECT Public Disclosure Authorized IMPACT OF FOREST TRUCK ROAD CONSTRUCTION ON THE ENVIRONMENT IN REPUBLIKA SRPSKA (EIA Study) Public Disclosure Authorized Banja Luka, August 2001 Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized I 'FILECO'pY1 e EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction and background This report represents the summary on environment impact assessment of forest road construction, within Forestry project in BiH financed by World Bank. Funds for road construction should be taken from remaining funds under IDA. Roads and locations, for which projects are elaborated, are as follows: 1. "Brankusa - section 115" in SFE "Ostrelj - Drinic" - Drinic 2. "Maksimovica potok" in SFE "telinac" - Celinac 3. "Mala Inova" in SFE "Borja" - Teslic 4. "Livade - Bad" in SFE "Maglic" - Srbinje 5. "Sipasno - Zlatac - Lokve" in SFE "Botin" - Nevesinje EIA studies are elaborated for all roads. These studies are about justification of road construction from aspect of positive, but also negative applications on the environment. Studies and executive summary have been elaborated by: 1. Mr Zoran Govedar and 2. Dipi. Ing. Ljubo Maric The Government of Republic of Srpska, by construction of new forest roads in mentioned SFEs, intends to influence on increasing of road infrastructure and openness of the forests. In that way the costs will be reduced and working efficiency increased in the most expensive phase of forest exploitation, which is skidding of wood assortments (transportation phase). Besides that road construction would increase other operational capacities in SFEs regarding protection, regeneration and nursering of forests, as well as other common useful forest functions (tourism, recreation, hunting, collection of secondary forest products and others).
