2.4 History, tradition and cultural heritage

Excavations carried out in Lepenski Vir showed the existence of a Preneolithic culture in Eastern Serbia. The culture of Old Neolith moved down the Danube all the way to the mouth of the Timok and continued along this river towards its source, leaving traces in Ljubičevac, Dušanovac, Prahovo, Jelašnica, Veliki Izvor, Grljan, Leskovac, Lenovac, Gornja Bela Reka, Radičevac etc.

The Vinca culture group which belongs to the epoch of recent neolith confirms itself in Eastern Serbia (four examples of anthropomorphic figures from this period are kept in the national museum in Zaječar).

After Vinca phase in Eastern Serbia various cultural influences have been mixed.

Around the year 2000 BC masses of nomadic herdsmen started arriving in the valley of the Timok from the north. They connected themselves to Indo-European groups thus creating, with their language, the basis for further development of Indo-European languages. Of the indigenous population and newcomers, the inhabitants of our country, later known as Illyrians and Trachians were formed later.

The oldest known inhabitants of these areas were Triballians. After Triballians, the Mysians are mentioned to have been in this area.

In the valley of Timok Timachians are mentioned to have lived but nothing else is known about them except for the name. The common feature of all these tribes is their mobility which is a sign of a low level of their civilisational development.

17 From the year 28 BC i.e. after Roman army conquered the Mysians these parts became parts of the Roman state. From the country of the Mysians and the neighbouring countries the Romans formed the province of Mysia.

Roman rule made significant changes in the Balkan Peninsula and in these areas: it destroyed classless ancestral order and created new, class-based slaveholding relations. By that time the most backward part of the Balkan Peninsula, Mysia, became one of the most corn-abounding areas of the Empire. Mining developed to a high degree and in the valley of the Timok it became an important economic branch.

In the Roman times a whole road network in the valley of Timok was built. The most important road went all the way to Niš, down the valley of the Timok toward the Danube, along which a lot of fortresses were erected. The largest Roman civil engineering facility in this area is Gamzigrad, in the vicinity of the village of the same name.

Slavic in-migration into the Balkan Peninsula and particularly in the valley of the Timok can barely be reconstructed even in rough features. After occasional forays, their settling of the Balkans started at the beginning of the seventh century A.D. Those Slavs that settled in the valley of the Timok were called Timokians.

As a settlement Zaječar was mentioned for the first time in a Turkish census from the year of 1466. (during the reign of the sultan Muhammad II, called The Conqueror). The settlement had eight families at the time.

In the period from XVI-XVIII century there are very scarce data about the settlement. Some more information on eastern Serbia was recorded in the second half of the seventeenth century. Serbian volunteers took part in the wars of Hungarian and Austrian army against Turks which included territories, too. The horrors of war caused frequent out-migration across the Danube.

After liberation of Belgrade in 1806, favourable conditions for uprising in these areas were created and this followed suit. After a series of successful fights the largest part of Krajina, Zaječar and Gurgusovac were liberated.

After the failure of the First Serbian Uprising the Turks got hold of the whole eastern Serbia again. Here they held ground until 1833 when this part of Serbia was finally liberated and incorporated into Serbia again.

When Serbia and Montenegro entered the war with the Turks thus helping Serbian rebels in Bosnia Herzegovina in 1875 the area again became the stage for bloody battles with the Turks. At the beginning of July 1876 after initial successes, the Timok army suffered great losses and was compelled to leave Knjaževac which left Zaječar unprotected and from which they were evacuated without a fight. This territory was devastated and plundered by the Turks. Under Russian pressure Turkey made peace with Serbia on condition of return to status quo of the period before the war. Serbia came out of this war materially, financially and morally exhausted.

The peace did not last long. On 12th April 1877 Russia attacked Turkey. Serbia saw it as a favourable opportunity and sided with Russia immediately. This time Serbia had more success gaining considerable territorial expansion. But after the decisions of the Congress in Vienna in 1878 Serbia had to return these territories and had to go back to the "old eastern borders of the principality of Serbia".

There was much political unrest in Serbia of that period. The situation of peasants was very difficult and this led to frequent unrests in Serbia.

In the elections for national parliament in 1883 radical party celebrated a great victory but King Milan did not want to accept a radical parliament so he disbanded it. In eastern Serbia there broke out the

18 Timok Rebellion. The rebellion spread into some parts of Zaječar district and the town of Zaječar itself played an important role in resolving the destiny of this rebellion.

The government reacted fiercely and suppressed the rebellion in blood. November of 1883 was the most tragic month in the history of Zaječar. It was called "the month of death" Court marshal passed death sentences which were executed the following day on Kraljevica. This court martial in Zaječar sentenced 825 participants in the rebellion (94 to death sentence, the others to jail, servitude and prison, while around 70 arrested people were liberated).

In Belgrade members of the main board of national radical party were arrested and brought before court martial in Zaječar. Some of them were sentenced to death; some ended up in prison and some were liberated. Nikola Pašić, party leader managed to escape to Bulgaria.

In both Balkan wars Zaječar was in the rear. But Zaječar and the whole of Timočka Krajina had great responsibilities: collection and shipment of food for the army, taking care of traffic lines against diversion, loading and unloading materials for the front and other tasks. In these wars people from Timočka Krajina were mobilized into two divisions: - Timočka division of I call (a part of II army) and Timočka division of II call (a part of I army). These divisions went down the glorious war path, not only in the Balkan wars but in the World War I, taking part in all great battles of these wars.

In World War I Timočka Krajina was in the rear until 14th October 1915 when Bulgarians started their attack on Zaječar. The battles lasted until 29th October 1915 when Bulgarians finally got into Zaječar and finally occupied these areas.

In September 1918 the allies and Serbian forces on Thessaloniki front went to the offensive. Second Serbian army and cavalry brigade of French general Gambeta liberated Pirot on 13th October 1918 and two days later they liberated Svrljig and Kalna. Then they started descending into the valley of the Timok. Knjaževac was liberated on 16th October. In the surroundings of Zaječar peasants rebelled against the aggressor on 15th October. After a series of battles on the access roads to Zaječar from the directions of Knjaževac, cavalry brigade of general Gambeta marched into Zaječar on 19th October 1918.

Upon liberation from Bulgarians Zaječar became the seat of Timočki district, composed of the following districts: Zaječarski, Zaglavski, Timočki and Boljevački.

After two decades of life and work in peace, the whole country (the Kingdom of Yugoslavia) and these areas were caught with new war fire, much more horrible and much bloodier than the previous one. For the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and Zaječar area World War II started on 6th April 1941. As early as 13th April around 4 o'clock in the afternoon into Zaječar came vanguards of one German military unit which was coming from Bulgaria and which entered Zaječar on 14th April.

In Zaječar Germans formed their district command the competence of which spread over whole Zaječar district.

Because of natural wealth of Timočka Krajina (mines of copper, pyrite, gold and silver in Bor and Majdanpek, of coal in Rtanj, Bogovina, Vrška Čuka, Podvis, Dobra Sreća and other fields, wheat in Krajina and in other Timočka Krajina plains, forests and livestock) and due to its geo-strategic position, this area was of special importance to Germans. For this reason they had strong armed forces here.

Battles for liberation of Zaječar started on 6th September 1944. Heavy and bloody fighting for liberation were led until the end of September and early days of October in wider area of Zaječar. In the night of 7/8 October 1944 this weeks long battle ended and this town finally became free.

3.12 Migration of population

Population migration

The indegenous people (the Serbs and the Vlah) are the most numerous in the total population. A considerable number of the Serbian inhabitants are emigrant from Kosovo and Metohija from an erlier date. The villages Zvezdan, Lenovac, Koprivica and Grljan (which is a village of mixed nationalities) are settlements formed by migrated Serbian inhabitants from Kosovo. A part of the population, especially the one that belongs to the ethnic minorities, came to these parts for different reasons: looking for jobs, marriage etc. City inhabitants are of mixed nationalities, while in the villages there is a national differentiation, as a result of the historical inheritance. Some of the villages are completely Serbian, while some of the villages are inhabited by the Vlah (Halovo, Gradskovo, Veliki and Mali Jasenovac, Sipikovo, Mala and Velika Jasikova, Dubocane and Glogovica), with a few negligible exceptions. The migration of the population in the Zajecar Municiplity is significant, as is in the whole of the Timocka Krajina. The reasons for migrating are usually ecomonic in nature. A part of the population are migrating workers temporarely employed abroad (the so called economic migration), along which, unfortunately, we have permanet emigration from Zrenjanin to other parts of the country because of personal valuations of the pospects in this part of the country and in search of a „better life”. There is yet another dimension od migration – village to city. This migration, which has been happening for a long time, is the most detremental for this region. The result, deserted and old village households, even in villages that have an extraordinary locality ( eg. Mali Izvor). Due to this kind of migratration, we have a problem with marrieges in the villages. Should any of the young people stay in the villages, they are usually men, while girls usually avoid getting married in villages (eg. Veliki Izvor has about 200 unmarried men, between the age of 20 to 50). This additionally burdens the lack of perspectives in villages.

47 Table 57. Livestock production, 01.12. 2008.

Zajecar was an important producer of meat , and a big exporter of beef, pork and mutton. In the villages there is a considerable expansion of goat breeding and an encreased demand for processed goods from goats milk. Since there are many deserted pastures that have not been treated with any chemical substances for a long time, it would be very easy to organize organic production of meat. The Zajecar Center has on disposal the livestock register and runs the cattle breeding program for this region. We should stress that cattle breeding has a tradition in these parts because large areas of land lie at 400m above sealevel, which suits cattle production because of the pastures and provision of hay. Once Zajecar had a slaughter-house with cold storage that bought cattle and processed meat. The slaughter-house stopped working in 1990. The capacity of the cold storage was 3.000 tons. We should also stress that there was a dairy industry in Zajecar, „Impaz”, that processed 65.000tons of milk, before privatization. Now it works as part of „Imlek” which is owned by „Salford”. In the Zajecar City Administration, livestock production is mainly geared towards cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. From the economic point of view, breeding of cattle is the most important because of milk production. When talking about breeds, the most dominant is the Simmental, while the Holshtinefeezer appear in small numbers. The Simmental breed are cattle used for a combined production of milk – meat, as they are strong, healthy, resistant to weather conditions and can withstand even sparing food. This breed perfectly suits our conditions and traditional way of raising cattle, which implies that the cows are tied in stalls during the entire year and pastures are not used as a way of feeding. The City territory is covered by technical veterinary services so that the cattle are covered in the records that allow the breeders to accomplish a regression for the improvement of dairy cattle- raising and first time calving cows. Individual producers batten cattle in small numbers. Their feed is based on bulky feed, mostly hay of different quality, produced on their land. Corn grits are used as energy feed. The more advanced producers also make silage from the whole corn plant. Hay based feed is not even made. All the breeders buy concentrate, from producers that are out of the Zajecar territory. There are breeders within the City’s territory that have recognized the need for organizing their production through methods that regard specialized knowledge. They have decided that milk production would become their profession, to increase the number of cattle, to abandon traditional breeding, to change the shelter capacity while taking into account the comfort and wellbeing of the animals they are also trying to produce better feed and are only buying the concentrate. Unfortunately, the number of these farms is insufficient, what would be needed is that all the milk producers are organized in such a way. The other producers, that are unable to organize themselves in accordance with sustainable agricultural practices have no perspective and will simply fail.

National subventions in agriculture are giving results, but are still small and insufficient, so that cattle numbers are showing a tendency to decline. For this tendency to stop substantial investments into cattle breeding are needed, above all, farmers should be offered long-term loans with favorable interest rates, which would be subsidized by the state, because agriculture is a low-accumulative branch of the economy so the investments pass it by. Only with such conditions would it be possible to organize and start any kind of production.

In Zajecar City Administration territory under the auspices of the Ministry of Agriculture, financed by the Finnish Government, Project Reka Mleka (River of Milk) had a very important role. That is to say, this project incorporated the advisory services, groups of interested producers of milk, as well as the main training facilitators. To best answer to the needs, workshops were organized on sight, to evaluate the capacity and needs in the region where the project was put to action. These participatory workshops were designed and conducted to promote, as best as possible, a better understanding of the need to train individually and in groups for those working in the dairy sector. The workshop participants were producer representatives from the township agricultural services, cooperatives and associations, public and private veterinary stations and the Agricultural

48 Institute in Zajecar. The in-service program – the technical training was created because of the explicit need and capacity and included the following units:

· Milk Technology ( Technology and skills for hygienic production of milk), · Hay ( Production technology and conservation), · Placement of cattle ( Improved conditions for cows- giving them a healthy living environment), · Treatment of hooves (Practical training of trainers for improving the health of the animals), · Feeding for better yield (Improving methods of feeding in order to get more milk), · Breeding (Technical selection), · Silage · Participatory training methods for advisory services which are in accordance to the needs, · Training of coaches (The training of coaches is provided for the professional advisors, veterinarians and professors in the agricultural field, enabling them to offer successful, up- to-date and competent service to their clients), · Methodology of the training was the development al process of the interest groups, · Managing the project cycle (Methods used for registering for subventions and financial aide, including the writing of the project proposal, overseeing and managing the project).

Zajecar has specialized veterinary institutions: 1. Public Veterinary Station „ZAJEČAR“director Slobodan Ranđelović, tel. 019/422-216, 411-496; fax 019/411-497,

2. Specialized Veterinary Institute, Izvorski Put no. 1 st. – director Zoran Marinković, tel. 019/441- 502, operator 019/411-570, fax 019/441-667.

Information regarding the work of the co-operatives may be attained from the following persons:

· Regional Co-operative Union - 19000 Zaječar, Nikole Pašića no.37/5; secretary: Dragoljub Živković, dipl. ing. agroek, tel. 019/421-411, faks 421-411, director 425-548, mob. 064/19-57-657; · ZZ „DELI JOVAN„ Salaš – Stanković Vlastimir, tel. 019/470-622, fax 019/470-215. This is the biggest co-operative in the City territory with the biggest purchasing capacity. It possesses 15 milk stations with all accompanying buildings and infrastructure. The daily average of milk purchased is 6.000 liters.

The demand for specific types of cheeses and dairy products is evident; this opens the possibility of starting new mini dairies, which would offer these products under their brand names thus satisfying the demands of the modern buyer.

5.2.1 Water and sewage

For half a century the city of Zajecar has had an organized delivery of water. In 1957 at the National Council’s Conference of the Zajecar Munisipality, a decision was made to form a Water and Sewage Board with its primary function being to provide the citizens of Zajecar with drinking water. A decision was made to use the water from the Beli Timok aluvion. Research was done, a project for the „Beli Timok” water-supply system made and already in 1958 the works had begun on the system. The system included a collecting well with drainage, a pumping station, thrust –tube lines, a reservoir and distribution network. In less than two years distribution of drinking water started and the preparation for an organized disposal of waste waters. As the City grew the old water orks system could not sutisfy the citizen’s needs. Extending the exsisting system temporarily sutisfied the city’s needs for drinking water, until 1983 when a decision was made to build the „Grliste” water -works system. When the new system was opened, in 1990, the city finally got a modern, reliable system with a much bigger capacity.

The «Grliste» Water-works System consists of:

· „Grlište“ Dam, raised by stone with a reinforced concreet screen, 28 meters high built on the Grliska River which forms an accumulationd of 12 million m3. · 12,5km crude water pipeline, built from steel pipes 914mm in diameter, 600lit/sec capacity · «Kraljevica» Water factory, built on the estern slope of «Kraljevica» Forest-park, with a 600lit/sec capacity, modern technology and a high performance in drinking water preparation, with well equipt laboratories and awll run in staff which provides assurance in the water production. Today that is the «Grliste» Water Works System - a capital construction both for the City and the Municipality.

Today in 2009, JKP «Vodovod» Zajecar has a well organized enterprise givibg services in water- supplying and channeling waste waters, with about 150 employees in two sectors, one service and a newly formed service unit – sewrage. The system for treating waste waters, in spite of decades worth of projects that are still waiting for their realization, will not be able to be bilt in the forseeable future because of its huge financial burden.

Today's trend in Zajecar Water- works is to become a real public service to the citizens – users of these services. That is why, in the decades to come, the firm's primary function will be to fulfill the perpetual human need for healthy drinking water in Zajecar City.

Planned projects:

1. Replacement of asbestos-concrete water pipes 2. Construction of “Vratarica –Zagradje” Water-works 3. Construction of distributive water networks in villages: Brusnik,Bracevac, Halovo,Gradskovo,Gamzigrad Spa, Valiki Jasenovac, Gornja Bela Reka – Marinovac, Mali Jasenovac, Klenovac, Tamnic, Tabakovac and Sipovo 4. Construction of water- works ring f500 – West zone water supply 5. Construction of Stupanj –Sontalovo – Vrska Cuka Water-works

94 6. Reconstruction and modernization of separating lines for the “Kraljevica” plant 7. Reconstruction of the roofing structure of the “Kraljevica” Water Factory 8. Reconstruction of the pumping station for “Kraljevica” plant 9. Water-works for “Beli Breg” suburb

Remote control heating system

Providing Zajecar City with heat-energy started in 1972 when the Zajecar Municipality founded a concern for heat-energy production and distribution.

Although, for years, it functioned as a public concern, in 2007 a private – public partnership was formed with a Chetz company, „Moravia Energo”, A.D. „Topifikacija Moravia – Zajecar” was formed.The Municipality decided to issue a liscence for procuction and distribution of heat – energy, „Topifikacija Moravia – Zajecar”A.D., is authorized for the works.

“TMZ” A. D. started with the producrion and distribution of heat – energy in October 15, 2007, for the 2007/2008 heating season.

The production systems for heat – energy are made up of: Pivara boiler –room, Popova Plaza boiler – room and Kljuc boiler – room.

The entire installed power of the production system is 33MW. The distribution of the heat – energy to the consumers is done through a hot water system of reinsulated pipelines buried underground unto the indirect heating substations in the consumers’ buildings. The Distribution system has four “block” substations: BP „Intersos“, BP „Krfska“, BP „Brković-Crni“ i BP „1. Maj“, through which the hear – energy is delivered to the consumers by a direct heating system. The distributive net is 10.000 meters in total, equivalent to a DN250 diameter.

39.491 inhabitants live in Zajecar City, that is 19.000 households, of which 3.539 (18.62%) are connected to the remote heating system. The complete heated area of all the units attached to the remote heating system is 188.324,13 m². The complete heated area of the other units, institutions and business space is 46.467,20m². So that the complete area that is heated in Zajecar is 234.791,33m².

5.2.2 Power infrastructure

The Zajecar City region iz normally supplied with power by TS 110/35 kV ''Zaječar 1'' powered by 31,5+20 MVA i TS 110/35 kV ''Zaječar 2'' powered by 31,5 MVA.

When working normally TS 110/35 kV ''Zaječar 1'' powers 5 TS 35/10 kV: ''Zaječar I'' 8+8 MVA, ''Zaječar II'' 8+8 MVA, ''Fabrika kablova'' 4+4 MVA, ''Kristal'' 8+8 MVA i ''Sokolovica'' 2,5 MVA; dok TS 110/35 kV ''Zaječar 2'' napaja 1 gradsku TS 35/10 kV ''Zaječar III'' 8+8 MVA i 8 vangradskih TS 35/10 kV ''Rgotina'' 4+4 MVA, ''Zvezdan'' 2,5+2,5 MVA, ’’Grljan'' 4+4 MVA, ''Lubnica'' 2x2,5+1,6 MVA, ''Boljevac'' 4+4 MVA, ''Mirovo'' 1,6+0,63 MVA, ''Bogovina VIII’’ 1,6+1 MVA i ’’Bogovina X’’ 2x1,6 MVA.

TS 110/35 kV is interconnected with 100 kV cables run above ground. TS 35/10 kV in the City are connected with cables, while areas out of the City are connected with cables, 35 kV, run above ground. In the same way, in the City area the 10 kV network is cable and ensures a two –way supply of energy TS 10/0,4 kV, while in the areas out of the city they are over hear line and most often radial. As far as the low voltage net is concerned, in the City area, cabel and over head lines are used, while in the village they are always over head lines.

95 A study of the longterm pespective developement of the electrical network 110 and 53kV in the “Elektrotimok” Zajecar area - which was done in 2002, and covers the period to 2020, the following investments into elctroenergy are anticipated in the Zajecar City region:

1. Increase of installed power in TS 110/35 kV Zaječar 2 with the existing 1x31,5 MVA na 2x31,5

MVA

2. Construction of TS 35/10 kV Zaječar IV 2x8 MVA 3. Construction of a double power line 35 kV od TS 110/35 kV Zaječar 2 do TS 35/10 kV Zaječar IV where the first part would be above ground (Al/Č 95 mm2, 1,5 km), and the second cable (XHP

48A 150 mm2)

4. Construction of a cable power line, 35 kV od TS 35/10 kV Zaječar II do TS 35/10 kV Zaječar IV

(XHP 48A 150 mm2)

5. Construction of a cable power line 35 kV od TS 35/10 kV from the Cable factory to TS 35/10 kV

Kristal

The development of the 10 kV network is defined in the urban lower level planning in accordance with the designation of the area and the signified needs. At this moment there is a need to construct a few new TS 10/0,4 kV in the wider center of the city ( eg. The location around «Tackove Cesme», near «Serbija –Tis» Hotel, in Hajduk Veljko and Svetozara Markovica streets). Our recommendation is that the TS 10/0,4 kV are constructed as freestanding structures of the same type with the power of 1 x 630 kVA ili 2 x 630 kVA. I fit is impossible to ensure free space, tearing down would be undertaken so that the TS would be part of a building.Generally speaking, the transfer network 110 kV and the distribution network 35 and 10 kV are in good condition, only a small number of structures need to be reconstructed. The TS 35/10 kV should be equipt with up-to-date systems for remote surveillance and control. The NN network in the villages is usually on concrete poles and only a small number of networks need to be reconstructed. New digital electricity meters are being installed.

104 Environment

5.6 Air quality (pollution)

During 2009, the Public Health Institution “Timok” Zajecar measured the basic pollutants that may be found in air: sulpherdioxide, soot, nitrogen dioxide and the total sedimentary matter (including heavy metals Pb, Zn and Cd). Measurements were taken according to the environment protection Law (“Sl. Glasnik RS”, no. 135/04) and the Regulations on borderline limits, methods of emission measuring, criteria for establishing measuring stations and recording of findings (“Sl. Glasnik RS”, no.54/92).

Quality improvement of air in urban environments burdened with communal and industrial pollution, is an important ecological requirement. Because of air pollution we have considerable climate changes which affect the health of the population and the condition of the environment (increase in average yearly temperature and the effect of global heating, the making of smog and acid rain, disturbance of the ozone layer).

The goal of this report is to point out the air pollution levels in the communal area of Zajecar, to compare the results with the norms of average emission levels prescribed by the Regulations, to point out the possible consequences of air pollution to people’s health, and the need to take necessary measures to lower the pollution levels of air.

105 Measuring stations for SO2, and soot:

"Elektrotimok"

"Crveni krst"

Measuring stations for total sedimentary matter:

II TOTAL SEDIMENT MATTER AND HEAVY METALS

PRECIPITATION OF MATTER

Precipitation of matter from the air has been tested in 2009 at two measuring stations in Zajecar: at the “Graficko Preduzece” and at” Seliste”. The analysis of the sedimentary matter in the air included the following parameter values: the total sediment matter, lead, cadmium and zinc.

At this measuring station, the average monthly concentration of the total sediment matter did not go over GVI od 450 mg/m2/per day, during any given month. The average yearly concentration value of the total concentration matter for 2009 was 149,58 mg/m2/per day. The average yearly value of lead, cadmium and zinc did not go over GVI and the yearly level was 200. mg/m2/per day.

At this measuring station, sedimentary matter in the air was measured 12 times. The average monthly concentration of the total sediment matter did not go over GVI of 450 mg/m2/per day at any time during any month. The average yearly concentration value of the total sediment matter for 2009 was 91, 32 mg/m2/per day, which is under the yearly GVI level, which was 200 mg/m2/per day.

At the "Selište" measuring station the concentration of UTM, lead, cadmium and zinc did not go over GVI, during the whole of 2009.

CONCLUSION AND PROPOSED MEASURES

The results of the air pollution measuring show that during the winter Zajecar is burdened with polluting matter from individual fireboxes and boiler rooms. The values for soot during the heating season were often above GVI. The concentration of sulfur dioxide and nitrate did not during any given measuring go over the allowed borderline values.

In order to reduce air pollution the following measures were proposed:

- Reduction of soot emitters, SO2, and NO2, by connecting as many boiler-rooms and individual fireboxes to the remote controlled heating systems.

- Increase inspection and prescribe measuring emissions of SO2, NO2 and soot.

- During the spring – summer period devote special attention to communal hygiene (washing streets, regular garbage collection) so that the quantity of the total sediment matter is reduced.

109 5.9 Soil quality

Agricultural land, in the Zajecar territory, covers about 68.000 hectares. Arable land and gardens take up 45.174h, vineyards 2.192h, meadows 9.547h and pastures 9.271h. With those considerable areas of agricultural land have been permanently destroyed by pyrite alluvium and other materials, or disabled for agricultural use. Effusion of waste from the flotation wastes in Bor, had not only destroyed the most fertile land in the Borski River Valley and Valrico Timoka in Serbia but also in neighboring Bulgaria. These areas are also the biggest ecological problem from the aspect of preserving a healthy living environment.

For the territory covered by the Zajecar City Administration a large number of types and varieties

of land is characteristic. Dominant are the simonice, alluvial deposits, brown acidic and lesiviran

land, stagnosol, mountainous and limestone terrains. With these, also present are terrains

damaged by poisonous gasses and flotation materials. Depending on the type, exploitation and

cultures grown, fertility varies. On the whole, the terrains are not supplied with calcium, are low

in acidity, with a small to medium humus supply. The content of sulfur and potassium in the soil

varies dramatically, and is usually little protected.

There are over 50 types of soil defined in the Zajecar area, the foundation being the so called

Smonica, brown acidic and alluvial deposits in the river vallies.

The basic characteristics of these types of soil are:

· Smonica is fertile soil, heavy in texture, reactivity 5 -6 Ph, poor in phosphorus, averagely supplied with potassium and well supplied with humus · Brown acidic soil is light soil, shallow, poor in NPK, with an acidic reaction · Alluvial soil is easily arable, well supplied with nutrients and suitable for production of intensive cultures.

The comprihensive and high level of damage to the land resulted in a decreas in agricultural production, poor quality of foodstuffs, scarcety of agricultural products, high prices of foodstuffs on the local market, with it a fall in the standard of living, as well as inadequate nutrition, which is affecting the health of the population ( especially growth and child development).

110 Zajecar’s agriculture developed, depending on natural conditions and socio – historical changes. These natural conditions have always enabled, first of all, a varied cultivation of land and cattle breeding production. In the plains around Beli and Crni Timok, around Grliske,

Lubnicka and Rgotska River, which take up a considerable amout of land covered by the

Zajecar City Administartion, the production of cereals, especially corn, horticulture and cattle breeding always prevailed, as it does today. What really affects the agriculture of Zajecar region and why it makes it very different from the other parts of Serbia are the very cold winters and extremely hot summers. That has always posed a threat of either freezing the crop and an extremely big fluctuation in the crop yield because of the frequent and long droughts.

A very fast developement in agriculture was relized with the moderization of the production process, with the use of technical and technological inovations. A very big part in the making and strengthning of this sector, as well as on the use and broadening the use of modern technology was played by “Zajecar Poljoprivredno Dobro”.

Per head, each citizen in the Zajecar Municipality receives ---h of arable land and each citizen actively involved in agricuture receives ----h. These areas seem to be enough to satisfy the basicfood needs, but considering the quality of the soil and the meteorological conditions, the inadequate tilth and agro-technical measures, this is not the case.

Up to date, the research, inquiry into the rational use of arable land has aimed to:

- examine and ascertain the physical characteristics of the soil

- examine the firtilty of the soil and recommend corrective measures according to the cultures grown

- calcify and rectifying reactions (pH) of the arable land

- develope growing technology (agro-technology) according to characteristics of the soil

and the requirement of the scecific culture grown

- meliorate natural meadows and pastures in the hilly/moutainous region, for grazing and feeding of the farm animals

111 - irrigate cultures and perform physical – chemical changes of the arable land

- examine the effect of drought on degradation of arable land

- examine content of heavy metals in the arable land and plant species, which vegetate in

such conditions

- examine possibilities of recultivation and revitalization of damaged and degraded land in the

Borska River and Timok confluence

Some of the activities before the examination of fertility and calcization measures were performed in accordance with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Resources RS.

During 2003 and 2004 these Management Policies and programs, involved considerable areas in Zajecar, especially the agriculturists land.

The other measurements were an integral part of the research done by the Center. All the activities were an itegral part of the realization of the scientific-reseach project, which had been financed, for the last twenty years, by the present Ministry for Science and the Environment, RS. The results achived by the realization of the project have been directly convayed and applied in immediate production on state, social and agriculturists holdings.

Recultivation of escavated land poses a specific problem. In spite of beginning endeavours and results, not much has been done. Many of the contracts and contacts with the State subordinates responsible for this region, as well as with the Mining - Metal Foundry in the Bor Basin, did not give the desired results. Energetic activities are imminent in order to solve and overcome this problem. It is fundamental to prevent ecological concequences and the negative influence of this kind of soil on water, flora and fauna, and especially in the environment where people live.

Along with the above stated, also characteristic are the problems of nonexistant monitoring of dangerous materials in soil, the lack of regional planning, which should define the use of land.

The specified measures that were mentioned, should also be maintained in the period that is forthcoming, in a sistematic, energetic and organized manner.

In order to overcome the mentioned problems it is urget to carry into affect the following activiities:

- redistrict agricultural production in accordance with quality and land characteristics and every

grown culture

112 -further develope culture growing agro-technology from the aspect of rational exploitation and conservation of farm land

-establish monitoring of land quality (physical features, fertility, acidity, irrigation) in order to overlook and take ractifying measures

-establish monitoring of heavy metals content, remainder of pesticides and other harmful agents on agricultural land

-establish monitoring and overcoming of the desertification problems. The “desertification” processes include degradation of land during dry airecological comditions, under which the Zajecar City teritory falls. This advent is caused by changes in climate and human action. The aftermath is devegetation (the loss od plant growrh), dehumification ( the loss of organic components), soil fatigue (caused by monoculture) and saltification (accumulation of salt on the top layer).

- recultivate pyrited and degraded soil

- educate the farmers to modernize economy, use and improvemnet of land

- practical realization of all mentioned measures.

5.10 Water quality

Water is one of the most important natural recourses, the lack of it already apparent in many parts of the world. That is why it is very important to protect the available water from pollution, as well as its rational use.

The water supply system in Zajecar and certain villages in the area, is comprised of two sources (Accumulation “Grliste” and Karst spring “Tupiznica”), the water purification plants and a reserve spring – well, located on the banks of Beli Timok. The water from the Grliste” Accumulation undergoes the whole purification treatment in the Purification Plant ( prechlorification, deposition, ozonizing, filtering and regular chlorinating) while the water from the “Tupiznica” karts spring and the water from the well on the Beli Timok banks is only chlorinated. “Tupuznica” also supplies the villages and towns (Leskovac, Grliste, Grljan and part of Gornja Bela Reka) on the way to Zajecar. The water from the “Grliste” Accumulation, after purification, is merged with the water from Tupiznica and the water from the banks, and as such distributed to the consumers.

Along with Zajecar, the villages: Vražogrnac, Avramica, Veliki Izvor, Rgotina, Šljivar, Nikoličevo, Lubnica, Zvezdan, Planinica, Lenovac, Gamzigrad, Trnavac i Čokonjar are also connected to the City’s water works.

The "Timok" Zaječar Public Health Institute, in 2008, regularly controlled the water quality in accordance with the Regulations (“SI. List SRJ”, no. 42/98), both in the City and the villages connected to the city’s water works.

TEST RESULTS OF THE HYGIENIC QUALITY OF WATER FROM THE CITY WATER WORKS

113 Zavod za javno zdravlje In 2008, the"Timok" Zaječar Public Health Institute took 711 samples of water for microbiological testing, and 711 samples for physical – chemical testing. For the puroses of microbiological testing, 78 samples of unpurified water and 686 samples of water from the networks (which is of the utmost importance for the consummers) were taken. For the physical – chemical testing, 77 unpurified water samples and 686 samples from the water networks were taken.

Test results are shown in Tables 1 and 2

114 DISCUSSION OF THE RESULTS

Microbiological water testing

For the microbiological testing 711 samples were taken from the networks. Analysis established that seven of the samples were irregular, which is 0, 98%. The cause of the irregularity is the increased number of aerobic mezophilic bacteria and only one of the samples had streptococcus of fecal origin, presence of colliform bacteria of fecal origin, and pseudomonas bacteria (Table 1).

The cause of contamination is most probably secondary contamination that can be caused in the networks itself (aging of network, after an intervention on the network) or contamination at the lathe.

6 Physical – chemical water testing

For the physical and physical – chemical water testing 711 samples were taken from the network, of which 16 were irregular, which is 2, 25%. The cause of the irregularity is murkiness (which appears only when there has been an intervention on a part of the network), and only one sample had an increased concentration of manganese above the regulation level (Table 2).

ONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDED MEASURES

In 2008, the Public Municipal Concern «Water – works» produced an disributed to its consummers healthy, hygenicly clean drinking water taking into accout that the percentage of irregularities in the tested samples is very small ( it is believed that the water works produce hygenicly clean water as the irregularities amout to upto 5%).

For the purposes of mainaining the waterwork's hygenicly clean drinking water the following measures are recommended:

1. Protection of «Grliste» Accumulation sources, «Turiznica» springs and the well at Beli Timok banks, in accordance with the Water Laws («Si. GlasnikRS» no. 46/91 i 54/96),Regulations for defining and maintaining zones of sanitary protection of the sources used for water supplying ("Sl. Glasnik RS", br. 92/08) and the Developmental Study of the fluvial region of the «Grliste» Accumulation and Tupiznica Mountain range;

115 2. Maintainin the optimal working order of the WaterPurification Plant

3. Regular control of drinking water hygine in accordance with the regulations;

4. Construction of a resevoir at Beli Breg and building in achlorinator for additional chlorination with the purpose to enable a stedy delivery of water through the whole network, while providing the regulated concentrations of residual chlorine in the whole network. The realization of this project is on going.

5. Revision of the city's water network due to deteriation, especially its azbesto-concrete parts.

6.1 Solid waste management

It is hard to assess the existing volume of wastes in the Zajecar Municipality, or the rest of the country. The man reson being lack of data about quolitative and quantitative analysis of wastes, as well as categorizing. The data about discarding, depositing and final disposal is incomplete.

In our counrty the collection of municipal wastes is done by firms founded by the municipalities.

They are the so called public municipal concerns that also do many other activities (street washing, taking care of green areas, sometimes even maintanance of cable TV systems – Vozdovac Munisipality). Because of that, they cannot devote themselves to this problem only, or invest into its solution. That is why today's picture of the problem looks like this: collected wastes from special containers (containers with a 100l volume), or improvised containers from households (old boilers, metal or plastic barrels...),are taken over by the municipality services and driven away in trucks (garbage trucks)to the place of storage. It should be a sanitary landfill, reguated space where solid wastes are laid away. They could be designed in such a way that a number of municipalities could use them, and need to fulfill all technical, urban, contruction, ecological requirements ( should be well connected to traffic routs, far enough from urban settlements, shoul have waste-pipes for waters and gases, clussifying wastes, filling in, and other conditions).

116 However, in Zajecar like in many other cities in our counrty, the containers around the apartment buildings are often packed with garbage, dust, leaves, ashes, they selfcombust or somebody sets them on fire. These places are unmarked , untiedy, and the containers are only emptied into the garbage trucks, never cleaned or washed. It is a bit better near health institutions are there are more containers than in the communal environment.

A location near Halova, is used for the final disposal of Zajecar's waste which does not fulfill sanitary – technical conditions of the landfill, so it can be said that we are talking about a rubbish-heap.

It is an area that in is inadequit in terms of location because it is near the river, town and farms where pigs are raised. Its capacity has also already been filled. This is why the need for a new location has been supported for a while in Zajecar. Now is the time to react and to choose, from the start, the proper location and to take all measures prescribed by law so that this landfill is biult correctly.

In 2003, the Republic of Serbia has adopted a National strategy towards the handling of wastes, which promotes the making of numerous municipal regions that will be responsible for a sustainable management of wastes and the building of regional sanitary landfills as well as recycling plants in the municipalities.

The Zajecar Municipality with the Ministry of Science and Protection of the Environment

( Environment Protection Office, 2004), on the basis of the Contract for co-financing the project design documentation for the improvement and remediation of the communal landfill, has started implementing the National Strategy for the disposal of waste. This is in the local administration domain:

- Layout plan of the existing communal landfill “Halovo” in the Zajecar Municipality (Geodesy Bureau, “Geoprojekt” Zajecar, November 2004).

- Ecological study of the landfill “Halovo” in the Zjecar Municipality ( Institute “Kirilo Savi” a.d. Belgrade, December 2004)

- The principal project of improvement and remediation of the landfill “Halovo” in the Zajecar Municipality (Institute “Kirilo Savic” a.d. Belgrade, December 2004)

-Plan for managing wastes in the Zajecar Municipality (Ecologist Union,”Grinlimes” Belgrade, December 2004)

During 2005, the Zajecar Municipality has provided:

-Plan for collection and treatment of plastic wastes for the whole territory of the Zajecar Municipality (Ecologist Union, “Grinlimes”, Belgrade, April, 2005)

117 -Cadastre of the solid wastes in the Zajecar Municipality (Ecologist Union, “Grinlimes”, Belgrade, April, 2005).

Taking into account the already finished documentation, Zajecar Municipality has a great advantage compare to all the other municipalities in the region, because they are the only ones that have ensured a Plan for managing wastes in the whole territory of the Zajecar Municipality, that is to say for all the settlements in the Zajecar Municipality. The General Assembly’s verification of this Plan is pending and will be made after the passing of the Law concerning the managing o wastes, which is in the Assembly’s procedures, now.

During 2005, the Zajecar Municipality received consent from the Environment Protection Administration for the master plan for the improvement and remediation of the existing landfill ‘Halloo”, and with it they have ensured one of the main conditions for co-financing of the landfill improvements. The plans to remove the other unsanitary landfills, based on the cadastre of solid wastes and improvement of the existing landfill “Halloo”, must be in accordance with the activities to form a regional landfill.

At the end of 2005, the Office for programs to help municipalities in eastern Serbia (PPOIS) instigated activities in all the municipalities to come to an agreement, a consensus to form a single regional landfill for the Bor and Zajecar regions.

Zajecar Municipality, baring in mind the possibility of getting aide from the Administration for Environment Protection, the Republic’s Ecological Fund and the Office for programs to help municipalities in eastern Serbia, at the last meeting of all the municipalities from both the regions, gave a Recommendation for the Regional landfill site, and they were ready for the procedure at an international level. The Recommendation to construct a Regional landfill in continuation of the existing landfill at the Halovo location, received the consent of all the municipalities in the Zajecar region.

The Ministry for Science and Protection of the Environment, The Republic’s Fund for Protection of the Environment as well as the EU, to the Program for helping the municipalities in eastern Serbia, will enforce the activities to carry out the National strategy for managing wastes and a defined National landfill in the Republic of Serbia, as it is one of the important conditions to approaching the European Union.

At the meeting of the two regions, in Bor, at which the representatives of the Ministry – Environment Protection Administration and the representatives from the Office of the Program for helping the municipalities in eastern Serbia, representatives from the Majdanpek Municipality, Kladovo, Negotin, Bor, Knjazevac, Sokobanja, Boljevac and Zaječar, consented to the construction of a single Regional landfill and signed an Agreement of intent. A Coordinating Assembly was formed from all the municipality presidents and the chiefs of staff from both the regions, to continue the procedure of organizing the Regional system of waste management and the construction of a Regional landfill.

The General Assembly’s verification of the Agreement of intent, brings all the municipalities of the Timoc region into the second phase of implementation of the National strategy for waste management – decision of the most favorable location for the Regional landfill and its verification according to legal regulations

The General Assembly’s verification of the Agreement of intent and the location for the reginal landfill are prerequisite conditions for receiving help from the Republic’s funds and from the European Bank for Reconstruction

118 PPOIS “inherited” the Project of the Regional landfill from the Regional Agency for Development in eastern Serbia - RARIS, and continued to work on it. A plan for managing the wastes was made, and for the activities that would contribute to the improvement of the conditions in the field of waste management.

The drawing up of the technical documentation for the Regional landfill in Halovo (Zajecar) is in progress. The projects code with the Ministry for Environment Protection is 1300603 (NIP). The Contract for the drawing up of the technical documentation was signed in September 2008, between the Ministry for Environment Protection and the Office for regional planning of Zajecar City,

The Department for Environment Protection of the University of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad and the Regional Agency for Development in Eastern Serbia (RARIS).

The Contract covers the drawing up of all needed documents for the construction of the Regional landfill:

1. Drawing up of a regional plan for management of solid wastes

2. Drawing up of the three missing municipal plans for management of communal solid wastes

3. Assesmnet of the three exsisting municipal plans for management of wastes

4. Drawing up of a plan,for improvemnet, closing and for remediation of the municipal rubbish-heap

5. Making a study of prior warrany with a general plan

6. Drawing up of a plan for detailed regulation

7. Strategic assessment of the affect on the environment

8. Making a study of warranty with a layout plan 9. Analysis of the effect on the environment

10. Drawing uo of the main plan

The project does not cover the preparation for separation of wastes in the city’s teritory.

GASIFICATION

On the territory, that is cover by Zajecar City’s Administration as well as in the whole of

Timocka Krajia, there is no gas line. Developing the so called Juzni Tok (Gasprom) a main

would be Constructed, Nis – Prahovo, which would web out through the whole Timonck

Krajina.There is a study of warranty and a layout plan, which RARIS made (Regional

119 Agency for development of eastern Serbia). The Ministry of Energy did not support the project.
