The exchange of information and findings obtained in other karst regions worldwide allows for an integral approach to this complex issue, and thereby contribute towards finding reliable solutions. The basic objective of the conference was to apply an interdisciplinary approach to scientifically assess the issues of sustainable development of all forms of karst. The issue was approached from different perspectives, from those of a technical and biological nature, to those addressing the social aspects of environmental issues and life on the karst. The conference itself was held at the Plitvice Lakes (World Heritage Site), one of the most fascinating phenomena on Earth. During the conference, one half-day excursion was organized to visit National Park Plitvice Lakes. Following the conference, an excursion was organised to visit several other significant phenomena of the Dinaric karst in Croatia. Conference themes were: - Geological aspects - Geomorphological aspects - Hydrological and hydrogeological aspects - Coastal and submerged karst - Biological and ecological aspects of karst - Anthropogenic impacts and protecting karst - Sociological, demographic and social aspects of karst - Dinaric karst and other karst regions (China, Alpine, Caribbean karst, etc.) The publication will serve as a contribution to the VIIth Phase of the International Hydrological Programme (IHP 2008-2013) of UNESCO, which has endeavoured to address demands arising from a rapidly changing world.

A sinking surface streamflow can be defined as a surface river or stream flowing onto or over karst and which then disappears completely underground through a swallow hole and which may or may not rise again and flow as a resurgent surface river or stream. A losing streamflow can be defined as an open stream or river that loses water as it flows downstream. The level of water in a losing stream is above the water table: in comparison, the level of water in a gaining stream is below the water table. In a losing stream water infiltrates underground, because the water table is below the bottom of the stream channel. Underground or subterranean streamflows are subsurface karst passages with the main characteristics of open rivers or streams. In underground streamflows water flows through caves, caverns, karst conduits and large galleries in karst underground. The paper treats some conceptual aspects of sinking, losing and underground streamflows. Some cases of the special hydrological and hydrogeological behaviour of karst sinking, losing and underground streamflows are explained. Keywords: karst, sinking, losing, underground streamflow 1 Introduction Karst is defined as a terrain, generally underlain by limestone or dolomite, in which the topography is chiefly formed by the dissolving of rock, and which is characterised by sinkholes, sinking streams, closed depressions, subterranean drainage and caves (Field 2002). A wide range of closed surface depressions, a well-developed underground drainage system, and strong interaction the between circulation of surface water and groundwater typify karst. Due to very high infiltration rates, especially in bare karst, overland and surface flow is rare in comparison with non-karst terrains. Carbonate rocks are more soluble than many other rocks. They are subject to a number of geomorphological processes. The processes involved in the weathering and erosion of carbonate rocks are many and diverse. The varied and often spectacular surface landforms are merely a guide to the presence of unpredictable conduits, fissures and cavities beneath the ground. But at the same time these subsurface

While most of the countries of the region remained broadly stable, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo set themselves apart as pockets of real – or possible – instability. In the case of Bosnia, the risk of instability largely derived from the post-election challenge of forming ruling coalitions at different levels of government. The process of ethnic coalition building can be challenging enough at the best of times. However, this time around it is compounded by the lack of a legal basis for forming part of the Federation entity’s Parliament (the upper House of Peoples), without which the Federation entity government cannot be formed.

    Question for written answer P-005565/2018 to the Commission Rule 130 Eleftherios Synadinos (NI) Subject: Ethnic Greek European citizen executed by Albanian police On 28 October, Greek National Day, commemorating the refusal of Greece to acquiesce in the savagery of other European states, its resistance to the massive Nazi offensive and its victory in Northern Epirus, Konstantinos Katsifas, an ethnic Greek, was gunned down by the Albanian authorities under circumstances that as yet remain unclear. It appears that the shooting occurred after he had raised a Greek flag at the Greek military cemetery during the official annual celebration held by Greek residents in the village of Bularat in Gjirokastër, some six kilometres from the border with Greece. It is here that those who fell during the epic struggle on the Albanian front are buried1 2. A political organisation representing the Greek ethnic minority in Albania has accused the Albanian police of carrying out a ‘coldblooded execution’ and of disregarding established procedures. It also complains of a wave of anti-Greek propaganda and a growing undercurrent of hostility towards the ethnic Greek minority3. In view of this: 1. Will the Commission launch an impartial investigation into what was effectively a breach of the human rights of a European citizen, in view of the EU-Albania accession negotiations? 2. Given that the Protocol of Corfu, which was ratified but not implemented, was never annulled by a subsequent agreement, will the Commission include it in the accession negotiations, underlining the need to ensure good neighbourly relations, with a view to upholding the rights of the Greek minority in Albania? 3.

Using pellet analysis from two post-breeding roosting sites in southern Albania collected in August 2017, we identifi ed 1539 prey items belonging to approximately 58 prey species, 20 families and 7 orders in 110 pellets from two sites. Invertebrates made up the major part of the diet spectrum (PNI = 99.8 %, PFI = 100 %). Invertebrate prey body size varied between 8 and 62 mm (mean 28.1 mm). Bush-crickets (Tettigoniidae) and locusts (Acrididae) were the most abundant and frequent prey groups (PNI = 33 % resp. 48.6 % and PFI = 97 % resp. 94 %). Within the bush-cricket family we could identify the species of genera Tettigonia, Decticus, Platycleis, Isophya and Metrioptera. The species of genera Calliptamus, Stenobothrus and Locusta belonged among the locust species identifi ed in the food. Birds and mammals were found in pellets only occasionally. The prey composition was rather similar at both studied sites, while locusts (Acrididae) were more abundant at the Jorgucat site and bush-crickets (Tettigonioidea) at the Mollas site in the same time. Prey groups Scarabeidae beetles and other beetles (Coleoptera other) were more abundant and frequent at Mollas than at Jorgucat, and spiders were more frequent at Jorgucat.

Twelve caves of Western Mecsek, Southwest Hungary were examined between September 2010 and April 2013 from the millipede (Diplopoda) faunistical point of view. Ten species were found in eight caves, which consisted eutroglophile and troglobiont elements as well. The cave with the most diverse fauna was the Törökpince Sinkhole, while the two previously also investigated caves, the Abaligeti Cave and the Mánfai-kőlyuk Cave provided less species, which could be related to their advanced touristic and industrial utilization. Keywords. Diplopoda, Mecsek Mts., caves, faunistics INTRODUCTION proved to be rather widespread in the karstic regions of the former Yugoslavia (Mršić 1998, lthough more than 220 caves are known 1994, Ćurčić & Makarov 1998), the species was A from the Mecsek Mts., our knowledge on the not yet found in other Hungarian caves. invertebrate fauna of the caves in the region is rather poor.

    E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 5 No 3 S1 ISSN 2281-3993 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy December 2016 The Classification of Rural Settlements in Gjirokastra Region Assoc. Prof. Albina Sinani Department of Geography, Faculty of Education and Social Sciences, “Eqrem Çabej” University Gjirokaster 6001, Albania; *[email protected] Doi:10.5901/ajis.2016.v5n3s1p24 Abstract The network of residential areas in the region of Gjirokastra has changed depending of a complex factors. This has affected to the utilization rate of the region's rural territories. Considering the economic orientation of rural settlements by relief factor, we look that in settlements that lie in the landscape field, dominates this main branch of the economy: agriculture, livestock, processing of agricultural and livestock products and trade. In settlements that lie in low relief and high montane prevail livestock and orchards, while in the mountainous terrain of petty farming prevails (in villages of municipalities Picar, Cepo, Pogon and Frashër). To achieve this classification serves the real estate registry, which contains books of plots, with surfaces by categories (arable land, orchard, vineyards, forests, pastures, unproductive land). Until 1990, social-economic factor determining in order to limit the application of the regulatory policies of rural settlements. The old system aimed the limiting of the occupation of agricultural land and increasing population density in the rural area. After 1990 have not been implemented proper policies for the development of rural areas. Gjirokastra region rural areas have outstanding value to the organization as space and landscape, as well as the architecture and internal organization of housing and other buildings, infrastructure etc.
