DIRECTIVE FOR FURTHER OPERATIONS, Operative No. 711 1. BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MILITARY AND POLITICAL SITUATION Since the start of the year, but particularly during the second half of March, Muslim armed forces have started wantonly violating in a synchronised manner the Agreement on a Four-month Cessation of Hostilities, focussing on offensive actions in the wider area of Bihac and Vlasic, in the zone of operations of the 30th Infantry Division and Task Group 2 of the 1st Krajina Corps, and on Majevica mountain, as well as regrouping and bringing in new forces to continue offensive actions in Posavina, towards Teslic and Srbobran. In synchronised activities, forces of the Muslim-Croatian Federation, forces of the HVO /Croatian Defence Council/ and units of the HV /Croatian Army/ are waiting for the result of the struggle on the Vlasic plateau and on Majevica, and in the event of a favourable development of the situation will join in with the aim of cutting the corridor and taking control of the Posavina, continuing operations in the direction of Glamoc and Grahovo, and, in cooperation with Muslim forces, taking Sipovo

  • Properties of Dairy Production in the Sarajevo-Romanija Region1
    original research paper Acta Agriculturae Serbica, Vol. XVI, 32 (2011) 135-143 Properties of dairy production in the Sarajevo-Romanija region 1 Grujica Vico, Tatjana Pandurević, Srđan Kostić Faculty of Agriculture East Sarajevo, R. Srpska, BiH Zoran Rajić Faculty of Agriculture Belgrade, Serbia Abstract: Sarajevo - Romanija region entirely belongs to the hilly and mountainous region where livestock production is the dominant form of agriculture. The paper presents results of a research conducted on a sample of ten farms engaged in dairy production. The use of scientific methods has helped us gain a clearer picture of basic organizational and economic characteristics of dairy production in the Sarajevo - Romanija region. Farm production conditions are characterized by marked heterogeneity, resulting in variability of economic performance. In cases where there was a higher degree of fulfilment of prescribed organizational and technological measures, satisfactory economic performance was achieved and the farms, with additional improvements implemented, have further prospects in milk and calf production. Key words: dairy production, Sarajevo - Romanija region, production conditions, economic performance Introduction Although improvements were observed in the past, it is obvious that milk production in Republic of Srpska still lags behind developed countries, and that it is not competitive in the increasingly open market (Vico, 2009). Received: 11 November 2011 / Accepted: 12 December 2011 Acta Agriculturae Serbica, Vol. XVI, 32 (2011) 135-143 The unfavourable characteristics of dairy production in the Republic of Srpska, primarily reflected through low milk yields per cow, disadvantaged racial composition, low marketability of production, insufficient use of modern organizational and technological solutions, indicate the necessity of taking a series of activities aimed at improving the overall production.

  • Animal Genetic Resources in Bosnia and Herzegovina
    BOSNA I HERCEGOVINA BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Ured za veterinarstvo State Veterinary Administration Bosne i Hercegovine of Bosnia and Herzegovina S A R A J E V O S A R A J E V O Animal genetic resources in Bosnia and Herzegovina SARAJEVO, 2003. SUMMARY In the postwar period, the number of cattle has decreased by 43 percent, sheep by 40 percent, poultry by 60 percent and horses by 49 percent. On the territory of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, more severely affected by the war, losses inflicted to livestock are much higher. Those numbers show the decrease of cattle by 60%, sheep by 75 percent and pigs by 90 percent and poultry by 68 percent and horses by 65 percent. During the war country’s recorded data on animal performance and the nucleus herd of the endangered local cattle (Busha) got destroyed together with any other relevant documentation. The breeding and conservation program for the Bosnian Mountain Horse has been seriously affected. Also as the consequence of war and displacement of human population, a number of flocks of the improved local Pramenka sheep have been lost. The import of exotic breeds, which started on a larger scale at the end of the last century, has been continued after the war through agricultural rehabilitation programs. At the end of the last century, a new breed (the Gatacko cattle) was developed based on imported Tyrolean Gray cattle and local Busha. Import of other breeds (Alpine Brown, Simmental and Frisian) has contributed to an increase in milk production per cow. In the northern part of B&H, breed Simmental has replaced the local Posavsko cattle.

  • Bosnia and Herzegovina | No 3 | May to June 2007
    Bosnia and Herzegovina | No 3 | May to June 2007 Bosnia and Herzegovina| Trends in Conflict and Cooperation May and June brought no relief from the ill-tempered exchanges between supporters and opponents of further centralization in Bosnia-Herzegovina as demanded by the European Union integration process. On the one side is the government of Republika Srpska (RS) under Prime Minister Milorad Dodik, which adheres to the literal and static reading of the 1995 Dayton peace accords and insists on the RS retaining as much real power and as many attributes of sovereignty as possible, notably including its own police force. Police reform, a precondition for a preaccession Conflictive International and Domestic Events in Bosnia and agreement with Brussels, remains stalled for that reason. On the other side are Bosniak Herzegovina (Bosnian Muslim) leaders such as Haris Silajdzic, the Bosniak representative of the country’s tripartite presidency who publicly advocates scrapping the RS based on the fact that genocide was committed by the RS army in Srebrenica in July 1995. Because Silajdzic is not interested in considering constitutional changes falling short of a massive loss of power for the entities, attempts to amend the Bosnian constitution have not materialized ever since a package of modest amendments was defeated in parliament in April 2006. The most serious disagreement came in June, when Silajdzic and his Bosnian Croat counterpart Zeljko Komsic wrote a letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to demand that the RS be abolished. The third presidency member, a Bosnian Serb representative (and current presidency chairman), Nebojsa Radmanovic, denounced the letter and said he had not been consulted about it.

We also look at the damage his fugitive status is doing to Serbia’s chances of joining the EU. writer Adam LeBor photographers Simon de la Court JeroenToirkens Even in his dreams Vladimir Vukcevic cannot forget Ratko Mladic.the Serbian war crimes prosecutor sees the former Bosnian Serb commander standing in a Yugoslav army base. the imagined 01 Mladic is taller and younger than the real one. But his freedom taunts Vukcevic in his dream, just as it does in his waking life. the prosecutor has been coordinat- ing the hunt in Serbia for Mladic since 2006. it is his job to ensure Mladic is arrested and sent to the international Criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (iCtY) in the Hague, where he is charged with war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. a psychologist would doubtless interpret Mladic’s tall and youthful figure as symbolising a more difficult adversary than Vukcevic had expected. “i thought this job would be finished in three or four years, but i was wrong,” he says. grey- haired, neatly barbered with a trim beard and moustache, even at 60, Vukcevic re- tains a youthful vigour.
