  • Montenegro Guidebook
    MONTENEGRO PREFACE Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, lies in a broad plain crossed by five rivers and surrounded by mountains, just 20 kilometers from the Albanian border. The city has a population of around 180,000 people. Bombed into rubble during World War II, Podgorica was rebuilt into a modern urban center, with high-rise apartment buildings and new office and shopping developments. While the latest Balkan war had a low impact on the physical structures, the economic sanctions had a devastating effect on employment and infrastructure. With the help of foreign investment, urban renewal is evident throughout the city, but much of it may still appear run down. Podgorica has a European-style town center with a pedestrian- only walking street (mall) and an assortment of restaurants, cafes, and boutiques. To many, its principal attraction is as a base for the exploration of Montenegro’s natural beauty, with mountains and wild countryside all around and the stunning Adriatic coastline less than an hour away. This is a mountainous region with barren moorlands and virgin forests, with fast-flowing rivers and picturesque lakes; Skadar Lake in particular is of ecological significance. The coastline is known for its sandy beaches and dramatic coves: for example, Kotor – the city that is protected by UNESCO and the wonderful Cathedral of Saint Typhoon; the unique baroque Perast; Saint George and Our Lady of the Rock islands – all locations that tell a story of a lasting civilization and the wealth of the most wonderful bay in the world. The area around the city of Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage site for its natural beauty and historic significance.

  • 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.

    Ministry of Tourism INFORMATION ON TOURISM IN 2009 Ministry of Tourism INTRODUCTION The 2009 tourist season progressed in extraordinary circumstances, giv- en the economic crisis which largely influenced tourist trends not only in our country but in the region as well. The projections of the 2009 Economic Policy are achieved. Finan- cial and physical indicators are at the level of the last year’s indicators, and surveys show a high level of satisfaction of tourists. Having in mind objective conditions, the achieved results can be considered a large suc- cess. Activities focused on preparing the season Ministry of Tourism Within the preparations for this year’s tourist season, considerable funds were in- vested in improving communal and road infrastructures. During the season, the work of communal services and power supply sys- tem were at a satisfactory level, and when speaking about water-supply, a number of activities were undertaken to reduce losses of the existing network by replacing worn-out pipes, and finding new springs in order to provide a longer-term solution to the problem. It is expected that majority of works will be completed next season, so municipality networks will be ready for the completion of the Project Regional Water-supply System. ● road infrastructure - more than 27 million € invested ● airport infrastructure – more than 6 million € invested ● transmission and distribution network improved– more than 4 million € invested ● infrastructure on border crossings improved and the time tourists spend on border crossings

The first is a review of the historical context of cultural tourism, and, through the collection of the opinions of numerous authors, an overview of the concept itself. Then there was a parallel between broken concepts, culture and tourism, and synergy and networking of these two terms. Furthermore, Montenegro is taken to be the study case, as country which has been recognizable in previous years, as one of the prosperous tourist countries in the region and beyond.
