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.

  • At the Fifty-Fifth Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations
    At the fifty-fifth session of the General Assembly of the United Nations, held in New York from September 6 to 8, 2000, the Millennium Declaration, a political document of the United Nations for the twenty-first century that establishes the goals for individual branches of interest to all the members of the international community as a whole and activities that should contribute to its realization, was passed by a unanimous vote. All the member nations of the United Nations are required to prepare a National Report on the Implementation of the Development Goals of the Millennium Declaration. Therefore, this obligation was also undertaken by the Republic of Croatia. The Millennium Development Goals on which the member nations of the United Nations are required to prepare reports on their implementation are as follows: 1. Eradicate extreme poverty 2. Achieve universal primary education 3. Promote gender equality and empower women 4. Reduce child mortality 5. Improve maternal health 6. Combat HIV/AIDS malaria and other diseases 7. Ensure environmental sustainability 8. Develop a global partnership for development Work on the preparation of these reports was conducted via five subgroups for the Millennium Development Goals, in which representatives of the relevant government institutions participated, as follows: First subgroup: Millennium Development Goal— Eradicate Extreme Poverty — Ministry of the Economy, Labor and Entrepreneurship — coordinator of the subgroup and author of the report on this topic; Ministry of Health and Social Welfare,

    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).

[krijelj 2, S. \ug 2 Summary The first detailed investigation of Gastropods in the basin of river Fojni~ka has been carried out in 2001 –2002. The material has been sam - pled five times during four seasons (October 2001 –September 2002) at 11 sites in the following waterways: the rivers Fojni~ka, Draga~a, @eljeznica, Kre{evka and Lepenica. Measurement of certain physical and chemical parameters (BOD 5, water temperature, pH value, amount of dissolved ox- ygen, saturation with oxygen and one time measurement of concentration of nitrates and phosphates) has been carried out together with collecting of macroinvertebrates of zoobenthos. Since the knowledge of biodiversity of Gastropods in Bosnia and Herzegovina is at the very low level, the main objective of this paper is to give an overview of distribution of Gas- tropods communities in the Fojni~ka river basin. In these investigations, 11 taxa of Gastropods and 1468 individuals have been determined. The Gastropods made 16% of total settlement of macroinvertebrates of zoobenthos. Dominant species at investigated sites was Ancylus fluviatilis , while species Acicula sp. , Saxurinator sp . and Valvata piscinalis were just sporadically recorded.
