The compilation of the report has been coordinated by the Office for National Minorities. All national minorities have been asked to make contributions consisting of their positions and opinions on the implementation of the Framework Convention. All the received opinions and proposals have been incorporated into the integrated report that will be submitted to the Council of Europe by the Government of the Republic of Croatia. With the aim of involving national minority representatives as much as possible in the drafting of the report, on 1 December 2008 the Office for National Minorities and the Council of Europe organized a seminar on the implementation of the Framework Convention. Around 50 people participated in the discussion: representatives of minority associations, national minority deputies in the Croatian Parliament, and representatives of the Council for National Minorities of the Republic of Croatia. The conclusion was reached that legislative and material preconditions for a full implementation of national minority rights have been met, especially as pertains to cultural autonomy. During the discussion on the effectiveness of participation of national minorities in the decision-making process, minority representatives requested that the report include the most recent legislative amendments and up-to-date information on representation of national minority members in state administration bodies. As for the part of the report that deals with exercising the religious rights of national minorities, it is important to include the data on the regular financial support that religious communities receive from the central state budget. Regarding the information activities aimed at national minorities, a request was voiced to include in the report the data on national minority programmes that are financed by the Fund for Promotion of Diversity and Pluralism in the Electronic Media, which has at its disposal 3% of the mandatory licence fee for Croatian Radio and Television paid in the Republic of Croatia. In practice, the greatest success has been achieved in the field of education in the languages and scripts of national minorities. The tendency is to involve children of majority ethnicity in the instruction of national minority pupils, which contributes to the cultural and linguistic diversity. In the future, efforts should be made to raise the quality of teaching, with the goal of stimulating interest in such schooling among minority members. Representatives of national minorities requested that the report include more information on the results achieved in the implementation of the National Programme for the Roma and the Action Plan for the Decade of Roma Inclusion 2005-2015. During the follow-up process of consultation with representatives of national minorities, various seminars for councils and representatives of national minorities were held: for the County of Primorje-Gorski Kotar and the County of Istria a seminar was held on 24 April 2009, and for the County of Sisak-Moslavina and the County of Karlovac a seminar was held on 18 May 2009. On these occasions, the results and difficulties encountered by councils and representatives of national 1 2 minorities were further discussed, which was useful for the drafting of the Third Report on the Implementation of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities. The report was amended in line with proposals made by representatives of national minorities. The appendix includes proposals by national minority associations and the opinion of the Council for National Minorities of the Republic of Croatia. 2 3 PART I OVERVIEW OF THE IMPROVEMENT OF NATIONAL MINORITY RIGHTS IN THE PAST FOUR-YEAR PERIOD The Government of the Republic of Croatia submitted its second report on the implementation of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities in March 2004. In the four years since the last report was submitted, active involvement of government bodies and national minority representatives has resulted in further improvement of national minority rights. The legislative framework has been elaborated with the aim of enabling national minorities to fully exercise their rights, and measures have been adopted to stimulate better implementation of the Constitutional Act on the Rights of National Minorities and other legal regulations. In that respect, the Government of the Republic of Croatia has secured implementation capacities in the relevant government bodies, and year after year it has been increasing the funds allocated for exercising national minority rights. Progress has also been supported by funds approved by the European Commission for the improvement of living conditions among the most vulnerable national minority, the Roma, and by the funds of the Roma Education Fund of the Decade of Roma Inclusion (REF). In the past period, the Government of the Republic of Croatia has dedicated particular attention to the implementation of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities, and each year it has organized round tables with national minority representatives in a different county with the goal of discussing all open issues that national minorities have faced, and encouraging the implementation of all articles of the Framework Convention. The first seminar was held in the County of Dubrovnik-Neretva, the second in the County of Split-Dalmatia,

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.

GODINE Sadržaj: U historiografiji komunističke Jugoslavije problematika djelovanja civilnih i vojnih vlasti Nezavisne Države Hrvatske (NDH) na području današnje Bosne i Hercego- vine tijekom Drugog svjetskog rata bila je djelomično istražena jer se ta tema nije mogla slobodno znanstveno istraživati niti se o njoj moglo slobodno pisati. U spomenutom razdoblju naglasak je bio na istraživanju partizanskog pokreta, dok je drugim sudioni- cima rata davana znatno manja pozornost. Oni koji su o toj temi pisali, malu ili gotovo nikakvu pozornost pridavali su sagledavanju okolnosti u kojima su utemeljena i djelo- vala tijela civilne i vojne vlasti NDH u Bosni i Hercegovini pa tako i na području bihać- ko-cazinskog kraja. Historiografskih istraživanja o glavnim značajkama civilnih i vojnih tijela vlasti NDH u Velikoj župi Krbava i Psat sa sjedištem u Bihaću nema. U radu je, na temelju izvornog arhivskog gradiva, prikazan Ustroj i djelovanje civilnih i vojnih tijela vlasti NDH u Velikoj župi Krbava i Psat sa sjedištem u Bihaću u razdoblju 1941.–1942. godine.

The Yugoslav language policy advocated a polycentric model of linguistic unity that strived for equal representation of the languages of the peoples (Serbo-Croatian, Macedonian and Slovenian), ethnicities (ethnic minorities) and ethnic groups, as well as both scripts (Latin and Cyrillic). Serbo-Croatian, spoken by 73% of people in Yugoslavia, was divided into the eastern and the western variety and two standard language expressions: Bosnian and Montenegrin. One linguistic system had sociolinguistic subsystems or varieties which functioned and developed in different socio-political, historical, religious and other circumstances. With the disintegration of Yugoslavia, the aforementioned sociolinguistic subsystems became standard languages (one linguistic system brought forth four political languages). We will describe the linguistic circumstances of the newly formed countries after 1991 in Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro.

    The Production of Lexical Tone in Croatian

    The production of lexical tone in Croatian Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors der Philosophie im Fachbereich Sprach- und Kulturwissenschaften der Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität zu Frankfurt am Main vorgelegt von Jevgenij Zintchenko Jurlina aus Kiew 2018 (Einreichungsjahr) 2019 (Erscheinungsjahr) 1. Gutacher: Prof. Dr. Henning Reetz 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Sven Grawunder Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 01.11.2018 ABSTRACT Jevgenij Zintchenko Jurlina: The production of lexical tone in Croatian (Under the direction of Prof. Dr. Henning Reetz and Prof. Dr. Sven Grawunder) This dissertation is an investigation of pitch accent, or lexical tone, in standard Croatian. The first chapter presents an in-depth overview of the history of the Croatian language, its relationship to Serbo-Croatian, its dialect groups and pronunciation variants, and general phonology. The second chapter explains the difference between various types of prosodic prominence and describes systems of pitch accent in various languages from different parts of the world: Yucatec Maya, Lithuanian and Limburgian. Following is a detailed account of the history of tone in Serbo-Croatian and Croatian, the specifics of its tonal system, intonational phonology and finally, a review of the most prominent phonetic investigations of tone in that language. The focal point of this dissertation is a production experiment, in which ten native speakers of Croatian from the region of Slavonia were recorded. The material recorded included a diverse selection of monosyllabic, bisyllabic, trisyllabic and quadrisyllabic words, containing all four accents of standard Croatian: short falling, long falling, short rising and long rising. Each target word was spoken in initial, medial and final positions of natural Croatian sentences.

    Former Yugoslavia: Emergency Assistance

    FORMER YUGOSLAVIA: EMERGENCY 18 Novem ber ASSISTANCE appeal no. 01.29/97 situation report no. 4 period covered: June - 30 September 1997 Donations totaling USD 6 million from the US Government for International Federation operations in former Yugoslavia — combined with sizeable grants from the Swedish and Norwegian Governments and Red Cross Societies — ensured that operations which were threatened with closure in Croatia and the Federal Republic (FR) Yugoslavia can be sustained for the remainder of 1997. At the end of October the Federation launched a new international advocacy campaign forFR Yugoslavia which it hopes will generate interest and a response to the ongoing needs of refugees and other vulnerable groups there. Meanwhile, in October the General Assembly of the Red Cross of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina was formally constituted and elected new office holders. The following month, the General Assembly of the Red Cross of Republika Srpska was held. The context Over 808,000 beneficiaries across former Yugoslavia are receiving assistance from the region’ s National Societies working alongside the International Federation, with its network of delegations in Belgrade, Sarajevo, Zagreb, and sub-delegations in Podgorica, Pristina and Osijek/Vukovar. Latest events Bosnia-Herzegovina Following rising tensions over the summer in Republika Srpska (RS) and the stand-off between the entity president Biljana Plavsic and the Pale leadership, political and civil unrest continued emergency appeal no. 01.29/97 situation report no. 4 in September. International community support for Plavsic and SFOR’s ‘Operation Tango’ provoked retaliatory attacks on various international organisations, and SFOR troops closed down the RS’s television station following “its tasteless compilation of outright lies”.
