Unintended media effects in a conflict environment: Serbian radio and Croatian nationalism Stefano DellaVigna, Ruben Enikolopov, Vera Mironova, Maria Petrova, Ekaterina Zhuravskaya July 2011 Online Appendix 1 Online Appendix A. Additional Evidence We present in this Section additional evidence. In Online Appendix Figures A1-A4 we present graphical evidence on the difference in distributions between towns with and without measure reception of Serbian radio with respect to additional political outcomes. The comparisons are along the lines of Figure 3b in the text. In Online Appendix Table A1, we present for the regressions in Table 5 in the text the coefficients on all the control variables. In Online Appendix Table A2 we present the result of interaction effects for the main specification in the text. 2 Online Appendix Figure A1.

History and Development of the Communication Regulatory
HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMUNICATION REGULATORY AGENCY IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA 1998 – 2005 A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Adin Sadic March 2006 2 This thesis entitled HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMUNICATION REGULATORY AGENCY IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA 1998 – 2005 by ADIN SADIC has been approved for the School of Telecommunications and the College of Communication by __________________________________________ Gregory Newton Associate Professor of Telecommunications __________________________________________ Gregory Shepherd Interim Dean, College of Communication 3 SADIC, ADIN. M.A. March 2006. Communication Studies History and Development of the Communication Regulatory Agency in Bosnia and Herzegovina 1998 – 2005 (247 pp.) Director of Thesis: Gregory Newton During the war against Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) over 250,000 people were killed, and countless others were injured and lost loved ones. Almost half of the B&H population was forced from their homes. The ethnic map of the country was changed drastically and overall damage was estimated at US $100 billion. Experts agree that misuse of the media was largely responsible for the events that triggered the war and kept it going despite all attempts at peace. This study examines and follows the efforts of the international community to regulate the broadcast media environment in postwar B&H. One of the greatest challenges for the international community in B&H was the elimination of hate language in the media. There was constant resistance from the local ethnocentric political parties in the establishment of the independent media regulatory body and implementation of new standards.

Stoljeću Marko Filip Pavković Primarni cilj ovoga rada monografska je obrada palaĉe Igerĉić-Pataĉić-Annaker-Jelaĉić koja se nalazi na zagrebaĉkom Gornjem gradu te njezina kontekstualizacija unutar korpusa stambene arhitekture Gradeca u 18. stoljeću. Stambena arhitektura Gradeca predstavljena je iznesenom tipologijom prostorne organizacije uglovnica i tipologijom proĉeljâ. Palaĉa Igerĉić-Pataĉić-Annaker-Jelaĉić predstavlja vaţan spomenik nacionalnoga graditeljskog naslijeĊa koji je bio gotovo u potpunosti zanemaren, kako u struĉnoj literaturi, tako i dugo vremena u konzervatorskoj praksi. Uvod u rad predstavlja prikaz povijesno-prostornoga razvoja Gornjeg grada od njegova osnutka pa sve do 1850. godine – godine kada Gradec poĉinje punopravno funkcionirati kao dio jedinstvenoga grada Zagreba. Osobito se podrobno obraĊuju urbanistiĉke transformacije iz razdoblja 17. i 18. stoljeća, koje ĉine svojevrstan pretekst gradnji i razvoju palaĉa u 18. stoljeću. Nakon toga slijedi pregled ranije provedenih istraţivanja i kritiĉki osvrt na literaturu s ciljem revalorizacije ranije

In the Treasury of the Cathedral, above the sacristy, priceless treasures have been stored, including the artefacts from 11th to 19th century. Many great Croats had been buried inside the Cathedral. ➢ St Mark’s Square - St. Mark’s Church that was built in the mid-13th century dominates this most beautiful square of the Upper Town. Many events crucial for Zagreb and entire Croatia took place here and many important edifices and institutions are located in this relatively tight space. The most attractive of all is St. Mark’s Church with its Romanesque naves, Gothic vaults and sanctuary and picturesque tiles on its multi-coloured roof that are arranged in such way that they form historical coats of arms of Zagreb and Croatia.

Bibliography 273 Abstract The nation-state is now the dominant form of sovereign statehood, however, a century and a half ago the political map of Europe comprised only a handful of sovereign states, very few of them nations in the modern sense. Balkan historiography often tends to minimize the complexity of nation-building, either by referring to the national community as to a monolithic and homogenous unit, or simply by neglecting different social groups whose consciousness varied depending on region, gender and generation. Further, Bulgarian and Serbian historiography pay far more attention to the problem of "how" and "why" certain events have happened than to the emergence of national consciousness of the Balkan peoples as a complex and durable process of mental evolution. This dissertation on the concept of nationality in which most Bulgarians and Serbs were educated and socialized examines how the modern idea of nationhood was disseminated among the ordinary people and it presents the complicated process of national indoctrination carried out by various state institutions.
Yugoslavia Chemical Chronology 2008-2001 | 1999-1996 | 1995-1990 | 1989-1970 | 1969-1918 Last update: May 2010 As of May 2010, this chronology is no longer being updated. For current developments, please see the Yugoslavia Chemical Overview. This annotated chronology is based on the data sources that follow each entry. Public sources often provide conflicting information on classified military programs. In some cases we are unable to resolve these discrepancies, in others we have deliberately refrained from doing so to highlight the potential influence of false or misleading information as it appeared over time. In many cases, we are unable to independently verify claims. Hence in reviewing this chronology, readers should take into account the credibility of the sources employed here. Inclusion in this chronology does not necessarily indicate that a particular development is of direct or indirect proliferation significance. Some entries provide international or domestic context for technological development and national policymaking. Moreover, some entries may refer to developments with positive consequences for nonproliferation 2008-2001 24 July 2008 The Serbian government submits a draft law on the implementation of the CWC to Parliament for consideration. This law will update an earlier law adopted in 2005. —"Update on National Implementation as at 14 November 2008," Chemical Disarmament Quarterly, Vol. 6 No. 4 (December 2008), p. 19. 6 June 2008 The process of down-sizing and reorganizing the 246th NBC Defense Brigade of the Serbian army is completed. The unit which has been reduced to a single battalion is now based at the Tzar Lazar barracks in Krusevac. The reduction in the unit's size, in the 1980s the unit was a full regiment, reflects the lower priority of NBC defense in the post-Cold War environment.
