Od Ljubotena do Koraba. i. Dr. Jože Pretnar: Planinsko-smučarska odprava v Južno Srbijo. Njen postanek in pomen. V poletju 1933 so me vodila moja planinska romanja preko planin Južne Srbije: čez Perister in Galičico na Korab, pa preko Šar Planine in Čakora na Kotor. Izpolnil se mi je s tem mladostni sen, da si ogledam deželo kraljeviča Marka. Vtisi, ki so jih na- pravili name ti divni planinski kraji s svojimi prirodnimi, zgodo- vinskimi in narodnimi zanimivostmi in lepotami, so mi ostali ne- pozabni; pustili so za seboj hrepenenje, da se še in še vrnem v objem teh gora. Pri pogledu na prostrane planjave in zložno pada- joče gole strmine, od temena najvišjih vrhov do podnožja, so mi, že takrat rodile prepričanje, da imamo ne samo v državi, temveč tudi Planinski Vestnlk, 1J3J, št. 7 177 v evropskih gorovjih malo planin, ki bi nudile tako odlične pogoje za planinsko smučanje. Takrat sem se poslovil od Koraba z obljubo: »Kmalu na svidenje — v zimi!« Ob priliki lanskega kongresa Zveze planinskih društev kralje- vine Jugoslavije, ki se je vršil v Beogradu, je v razgovoru z neka- terimi tovariši padla odločitev, da se v okviru Zveze in pod pokro- viteljstvom ministrstva za telesno vzgojo naroda priredi v zimi ali zgodnji pomladi skupinska planinsko-smučarska tura po grebenih in vrhovih cd Ljubotena preko Šar Planine, Popove Šapke, Aleksan- drovega Visa in Šutmana ob Rudoki in Vraca-Planini na gorsko gmoto Koraba.

Five species of the Oulema melanopus group are recognized in the western Palaearctic Region: O. melanopus (Linnaeus, 1758), O. rufocyanea (Suffrian, 1847), O. duftschmidi (Redtenbacher, 1874), O. mauroi sp. nov. (nor- thern Italy), and O. verae sp. nov. (Spain and Portugal). The two new species are described and illustrated. The nomenclature of the group is discussed in detail. Oulema rufocyanea is proved to be a validly described species different to O. duftschmidi. To fi x the nomenclatural stability of the whole group and avoid sub- sequent misintepretations, neotypes are designated for Crioceris melanopoda O. F. Müller, 1776; Crioceris hordei Geoffroy, 1785; and Lema cyanella var. atrata Waltl, 1835 (all conspecifi c with O. melanopus). The primary type specimens or their photographs were examined if they exist. The spelling Oulema melanopus is fi xed as correct and explained. Variation in the cytochrome c oxidase (cox1) gene across specimens of all the species has been analysed. All species in the group had extremely similar haplotypes, with interspecifi c sequence similarities between 90.5–99.5 %, compared to intraspecifi c sequence similarities between 91.6–100 %.

  • Description of the Biking Trail This Bike Trail Will Allow You to Meet a Part Of
    This project is funded by the European Union Description of the Biking trail This bike trail will allow you to meet a part of the Prespa region, with its authentic villages that fortunately still have preserved the original architecture and look. The Prespa region is characterized by the rivers that pass through the rural areas and the agriculture development (farming, livestock, beekeeping, fruit production, etc.) from which people exist. The bike trail is marked with wooden road signs and its total length is 30 km with 300 m elevation. This trail is included in the category of medium-easy path suitable for beginners. 10 km of the trail is an asphalt road and 20 km off road. The first part of the trail will provide you with a fascinating view of Prespa Lake, passing through several villages. The starting and ending point of the trail is the village Brajcino, which is located at 1000 meters above sea level below the slopes of Baba Mountain. Beech and Oak forest give special splendor to this village. The numerous streams, merging each other near the village, create Brajcino River, and with its picturesque valley, splits the village of Gorno Maalo (its left side) and Dolno Maalo (its right side). The trail continues through the village Ljubojno and v. Dolno Dupeni and then to the village Nakolec passing through apple plantation. The Krani Camp is the next destination where the bike trail passes and continues to the most distant point, the beach Slivnica and the Coca Auto Camp where you can take a rest and recreation on the beach.The end point of the trail is village Brajcino, where you will ride through the same route backward to the village of Nacelec and then proceeds directly to the village Ljubojno and ending in v.

  • “Notes and Studies of Prespa in the Branislav Rusic Archoves at The
    “Notes and Studies of Prespa in the Branislav Rusiќ Archives at the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and the Arts” Branislav Rusiќ was a member of the first post-war generation of Macedonian ethnographers who set the groundwork for ethnographic studies of Macedonia. His family originated from the village of German in Lower Prespa, now in Aegean Macedonia. He was born in the village of Tomino in the Poreč region, he received his primary and secondary education in Prilep, Kruševac and in Bitola, and in 1937 received a degree in ethnography from Belgrade University. He received his doctorate from Zagreb University in 1951. From 1939 to 1946 he worked at the State Archives and at the Ethnographic museum in Belgrade. In 1946 he moved to the newly established university in Skopje, where he formed a group on Ethnology, which he lead until 1958. From 1958 to the end of his life in 1971 he was a professor of Ethnography in the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. He was concurrently in charge of the division on folk costumes at the Folklore Institute in Skopje. Rusiќ’s greatest contribution to the ethnographic study of Macedonia is undoubtedly his extensive field research of every part of the country, either alone early in his career, or on field studies with his students in later years. He began his field research as a student in 1934 as a student at Belgrade University. There is hardly a village in Macedonia that escaped a study by Rusiќ, though his most voluminous studies were concentrated mostly in the regions of Poreč, Železnik, Debarce, Struga, Ohrid, Prespa, Slavište, Pijanec, Delčevo, Osogovia and Capari.

Previously he worked on projects like the World Conference on Dialogue Among Religions and Civilizations held in Ohrid in 2007. He lives in Skopje, Republic of Macedonia. III. THE CASE OF KOSOVO AND METOHIA Just as everyone could sense that the end of the horrifying conflict of the early 1990s was coming to an end, another one was heating up in the Yugoslav kitchen. Kosovo is located in the southern part of former Yugoslavia, in an area that had been characterized by hostility and hatred practically ‘since the beginning of time.’ The reason for such mixed negative feelings came due to the confusion about who should have the final say in the governing of the Kosovo principality.
