  • Mapping and Assessment Ecosystems and Their Services of Grassland and Forest in Montenegro (Project Title)
    ANNEX 5 TERMS OF REFERENCE Transfer of Czech Knowledge: Mapping and Assessment Ecosystems and their Services of Grassland and Forest in Montenegro (Project Title) Project Objectives: Czech Republic invested significant effort in quantifying what is the contribution of protected areas to national economy. During these processes undertaken by different institutions and organizations, several projects focused on mapping and assessing services provided by grassland and forests where implemented. These initiatives are contributing not only to disseminating the knowledge and understanding of value and importance of services provided by ecosystems but is directly contributing to global processes such as Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, The economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity etc). Taking in consideration that Montenegro is making first steps toward understanding and indorsing these initiatives and practice, through this project we would link these institutions with partner institutions from Montenegro, and establish linkages and partnerships that would be mutually beneficial. The main strength of the project would be focusing on learning by doing approach. Two pilot sites would be used as pilots for joint work of Czech and Montenegro experts in order to obtain detailed assessment of ecosystem services provided by forests and grasslands in these areas. Czech experience will be amended to fit Montenegro legal and development framework, and set of recommendations will be developed, based on experiences gained in PES schemes design in two pilot sites. Sites are predefined as area of Komovi and Piva Mountain massif. In these two areas UNDP CO Montenegro is working on establishment of two new protected areas (level of regional parks, category III as per IUCN categorization).

  • Real-Time Flood Forecasting and Warning System Sava River Basin
    Development of Real-Time Flood Forecasting and Warning System for the Sava River Basin Klaas-Jan van Heeringen1, Hanneke Schuurmans2, Mihailo Anđelić3, Victor Simončić4, Imra Hodzic5, Sabina Hadziahmetovic5 ABSTRACT: Disastrous floods in May 2014 in Sava River basin resulted in 79 casualties and substantial economic damage in Croatia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Serbia. Assessments of the total damage in the area range up to 3.8 billion Euros. Distressing is the fact that besides flooding the Balkan region recently suffered from severe droughts as well. In order to be more resilient to flood and drought events, data and model output sharing is key. Better information will lead to better decisions. The Flood Forecasting and Warning System (Sava-FFWS) in which five countries jointly work together is at the forefront of transboundary cooperation. The FFWS, which is based on the well-known Delft-FEWS software, lends ample data and information enabling ultimately the decision makers to make right management decisions and implement operational measures to prevent and mitigate severe flood and drought situations on the basis of reliable forecasts of flows and discharges with a long lead time. The paper outlines key components of the Sava-FFWS illustrated with concrete application examples. Key words: real-time flood forecasting, Delft-FEWS, Sava river basin, Sava HIS, hydrological models, hydraulic models, numerical weather prediction, water levels, discharges, precipitation, temperature, snow, GIS data, dissemination Razvoj sistema za prognozu i upozorenje na velike vode u realnom vremenu za sliv reke Save APSTRAKT: Katastrofalne majske poplave iz 2014. godine u slivu reke Save pogodile su delove Bosne i Hercegovine, Hrvatske i Srbije i ostavile iza sebe pustoš: 79 osoba je izgubilo život a ogromna materijalna šteta je procenjena na preko 3.8 milijardi evra.

  • BIRN – Balkan Insight Disappointed Serbs Sell up and Go
    BIRN – Balkan Insight Disappointed Serbs Sell Up And Go 23 06 2006 Angry over the referendum result and fearful for the future, many Serbs are emigrating to central Serbia. By Bojana Stanisic in Pljevlja (Balkan Insight, 23 June 06) The villagers of Seoce, near Andrijevica, in northern Montenegro, are angry. The reason is the outcome of the May 21 referendum on independence, which Montenegrin separatists won by a large margin. Such is the indignation in Seoce, which voted "en masse" against sovereignty, that many locals have decided to sell up and emigrate to Sumadija, in central Serbia. They plan to move the whole village over the border and rename their new home Seoce. Villagers have made it clear that if any one buyer is interested in buying up the entire village, they would offer a substantial discount of up to 15 per cent. One would-be ex-Montenegrin is Stanoje Stijovic. "As soon as I sell my property I will move to Serbia," he said. "We plan to buy a whole village in Serbia and rename it Seoce out of love for our native land." The villagers protest that their departure is not a sign of indifference to the place many were born in, and in which many invested all their savings. "I invested my entire capital in my native village," said Vujica Mitrovic, who came all the way from Denmark, where he works, to vote in the referendum. "But I am deeply disappointed with the result, which is why I have decided to sell my whole estate - three houses in Andrijevica, a house in Seoce, another in Sutomore on the Adriatic coast and a country home in the Balja Mountain." Thirty-five villagers from Beranselo, near the town Berani in the north of Montenegro, have also put up their land and houses for sale, hoping for Albanian buyers.
