  • 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.

If you really think you deserve a vacation other than the sea or skiing, we suggest that after the daily stresses, the rush and the constant commitment, you finally decide to replace the stone and the sea, the holm oaks and the pines with the shade of Slavonian oak, the ash, the thick forest arch of Gorski Kotar, the greenery of Međimurje... Head, therefore, to that part of our country which is within our reach, green and flat or hilly and golden in its summer or autumn colors, and yet mostly distant and unknown to the most.

  • On the Characteristics of Yugoslavian Rivers in Comparison with Japanese
    ENDINS, n." 13.1987. Ciutat de Mallorca. ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF YUGOSLAVIAN RIVERS IN COMPARISON WlTH JAPANESE RIVERS by Kazuo MITSUI * Abstract This article deals with the characteristics of rivers in Yugoslavia and Japan, based on the results of the field survey and the data observed by the Hidrometeorological Institutes, F.R. of Yugoslavia. Roughly speaking, the river systems in Yugoslavia are classified into two: the Danube (inclu- ding the Sava, the Drava, etc.), a long, gentle current, and the Neretva and the Vardar, relatively short, rapid ones. In the karst region, where the two river systerns mentioned above are included, many discontinued rivers are found. Seasonal changes of run-off amount of the rivers in Yugoslavia differ very much from those of Japan, which show maximums in the typhoon season in auturnn or in the baiu (rainy) season in early sumrner. In such rivers as the Sava and the Drava the coefficient of river regime is less than 30, and the level of water becomes higher in April through June due to melting of snow and from November to December by rainfall. The water level is the lowest in July and August. Because of the high seepage and flowing-out characteristics in the karst regions the run-off ra- tios of the rivers in Yugoslavia are relatively high, ranging approximately from 60 to 90 %; as an extreme case, the Una showc a value of 112 %. The velocity of floodwaves in the case of a great flood of the Sava, a tributary of the Danube, was 0.6-0.7 m/sec for a distance of 680 km.

  • Bih: Bosnia, the Land of Great Hydro Power Potentials
    BiH: Bosnia, the land of great hydro power potentials Bosnia Herzegovina is one of the European countries with the richest water resources. Projects to build a series of hydroelectric power stations in Republika Srpska, however, are endangering a delicate environmental balance. Report. “In 2004 the government of Republika Srpska awarded a contract for the construction of two dams on the river Vrbas, a few kilometres from Banja Luka. We started a protest, forming a coalition against the project. Since then 8 years have passed and, also thanks to our mobilization, the dams have not yet been built.” Miodrag Dakić, of the Banja Luka Centre for the Environment , remembers one of the more successful civic battles in the recent history of Bosnia Herzegovina. The victory of the environmentalists could soon, however, be called into question. The Republika Srpska, RS, one of the two entities which, on the basis of the Dayton Peace Agreement, make up Bosnia Herzegovina, has now been governed for almost 10 years with little interruption by Milorad Dodik, the present President and leader of the SNSD party. During these years, the RS has transferred ownership of its precious assets to Serbia (Telekom Srpske), Russian business groups (Zarubezhneft, which bought the petroleum refinery at Brod and Yuzhuralzoloto, which has the Sase mine at Srebrenica) and global corporations (Arcelor Mittal, owner of the Liubija and Omarska mines at Prijedor). Energy – in particular the granting of river sections for building dams – seems to be the most recent strategy for attracting foreign capital. The story of the contracts for the dams on the river Vrbas, however, shows that not all takes place transparently.
