  • A Multicriteria Analysis of Possible Tourist Offers in Toplica District
    QUAESTUS MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH JOURNAL A MULTICRITERIA ANALYSIS OF POSSIBLE TOURIST OFFERS IN TOPLICA DISTRICT Dragan TURANJANIN, Mališa ŢIŢOVIĆ, Marija MARČETIĆ, Miodrag ŢIŢOVIĆ Abstract: Some possibilities of making a new offer of the tourism services of the District of Toplica are indicated in the paper. The obtained order of alternative unexploited possibilities prioritizes the recovery of Kuršumlijska Banja spa in relation to all the other alternatives. Yet, it must be said that the other alternatives are also significant, and that they should also be exploited in the future so that this region might be present in the tourist offer of the Republic of Serbia to a greater extent. Keywords: multicriteria analisys, tourism, Toplica district INTRODUCTION Toplica District is an administrative district in Serbia, whose center is in Prokuplje. It is located eastwards from the Southern Morava River, i.e. it encompasses the basin of the Toplica River, a tributary of the Southern Morava, and a small part of the basin of the Rasina River, a tributary of the Western Morava. It surrounds the city of Prokuplje and the municipalities of Kuršumlija, Blace, and ŢitoraŤa. The Toplica River‘s spring is in the mountain of Kopaonik, and it was named after the numerous warm springs in its valley. This river is characteristic for the epigenia, which is found in as many as two places near the city of Prokuplje (it runs in one direction, then in the same line, but in the opposite direction). Therefore, Toplica District consists of the Toplica River Valley and is surrounded by the mountains of Jastrebac, Kopaonik, Radan, Vidojevnica and Pasjaţa.

Towns with its own influences enrich the network of surrounding settlements, strengthen their mutual relations and create a whole functional settlement system of one area , or the gravity of the urban core. By dividing the functions of the primary, secondary and tertiary, the basis and types of settlements are created by functional criteria according to the type of economic activity and the primary content in them. In this area in the second half of the twentieth and early twenty-first century witnessed substantial changes in almost all components of demographic structure, which resulted in the transformation of functional types of settlement, when the predominantly agrarian settlement characteristic of the area of Toplica road went up mixed and service settlement.

  • Cultural Heritage, Reconstruction and National Identity in Kosovo
    1 DOI: 10.14324/111.444.amps.2013v3i1.001 Title: Identity and Conflict: Cultural Heritage, Reconstruction and National Identity in Kosovo Author: Anne-Françoise Morel Architecture_media_politics_society. vol. 3, no.1. May 2013 Affiliation: Universiteit Gent Abstract: The year 1989 marked the six hundredth anniversary of the defeat of the Christian Prince of Serbia, Lazard I, at the hands of the Ottoman Empire in the “Valley of the Blackbirds,” Kosovo. On June 28, 1989, the very day of the battle's anniversary, thousands of Serbs gathered on the presumed historic battle field bearing nationalistic symbols and honoring the Serbian martyrs buried in Orthodox churches across the territory. They were there to hear a speech delivered by Slobodan Milosevic in which the then- president of the Socialist Republic of Serbia revived Lazard’s mythic battle and martyrdom. It was a symbolic act aimed at establishing a version of history that saw Kosovo as part of the Serbian nation. It marked the commencement of a violent process of subjugation that culminated in genocide. Fully integrated into the complex web of tragic violence that was to ensue was the targeting and destruction of the region’s architectural and cultural heritage. As with the peoples of the region, this heritage crossed geopolitical “boundaries.” Through the fluctuations of history, Kosovo's heritage had already become subject to divergent temporal, geographical, physical and even symbolical forces. During the war it was to become a focal point of clashes between these forces and, as Anthony D. Smith argues with regard to cultural heritage more generally, it would be seen as “a legacy belonging to the past of ‘the other,’” which, in times of conflict, opponents try “to damage or even deny.” Today, the scars of this conflict, its damage and its denial are still evident.

  • Byzantium's Balkan Frontier
    This page intentionally left blank Byzantium’s Balkan Frontier is the first narrative history in English of the northern Balkans in the tenth to twelfth centuries. Where pre- vious histories have been concerned principally with the medieval history of distinct and autonomous Balkan nations, this study regards Byzantine political authority as a unifying factor in the various lands which formed the empire’s frontier in the north and west. It takes as its central concern Byzantine relations with all Slavic and non-Slavic peoples – including the Serbs, Croats, Bulgarians and Hungarians – in and beyond the Balkan Peninsula, and explores in detail imperial responses, first to the migrations of nomadic peoples, and subsequently to the expansion of Latin Christendom. It also examines the changing conception of the frontier in Byzantine thought and literature through the middle Byzantine period. is British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow, Keble College, Oxford BYZANTIUM’S BALKAN FRONTIER A Political Study of the Northern Balkans, – PAUL STEPHENSON British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow Keble College, Oxford The Pitt Building, Trumpington Street, Cambridge, United Kingdom The Edinburgh Building, Cambridge CB2 2RU, UK 40 West 20th Street, New York, NY 10011-4211, USA 477 Williamstown Road, Port Melbourne, VIC 3207, Australia Ruiz de Alarcón 13, 28014 Madrid, Spain Dock House, The Waterfront, Cape Town 8001, South Africa http://www.cambridge.org © Paul Stephenson 2004 First published in printed format 2000 ISBN 0-511-03402-4 eBook (Adobe Reader) ISBN 0-521-77017-3 hardback Contents List ofmaps and figurespagevi Prefacevii A note on citation and transliterationix List ofabbreviationsxi Introduction .Bulgaria and beyond:the Northern Balkans (c.–) .The Byzantine occupation ofBulgaria (–) .Northern nomads (–) .Southern Slavs (–) .The rise ofthe west,I:Normans and Crusaders (–) .

  • Yugoslavia 211
    Heritage ai Risk 2(X) 1/2002 Yugoslavia 211 YUGOSLAVIA In addition to all the risks present in other countries in transition, cultural heritage in Yugoslavia is exposed to some quite specific threats. On the one hand, they are connected to the extremely acute economic crisis, which marked all the activities of the monu­ mental heritage protection service during the past decade. Con­ ditions in which protection institutions operate are still A unfavourable, and to a great extent the chronic lack of funding for planned activities hinders or disables timely, expert, preventive and operative engagement. It equally hinders the determination of mm an adequate protective treatment, including conditions for main­ taining and using protected heritage. Nevertheless, significant efforts are being made to define a well­conceived conservation -* policy, which would promote long­term conservation plans and •U determine the priority of interventions on the basis of the type and level of endangerment of the heritage. Re­establishment of inter­ i national professional contacts and co­operation with international Banjska Monastery, south-eastern view ol the church with three-coloured institutions and organisations in the conservation field is aimed at marble facades improving methodology and knowledge in this area. At the same lime, it also creates opportunities for expert consulting on complex professional problems. On the other hand, during the past decade, heritage in the terri­ tory of Yugoslavia was also exposed to dangers brought about by war operations.

  • Development of Ragusan Diplomatic Service in the First Half of the Fifteenth Century
    Development of Ragusan Diplomatic Service in the First Half of the Fifteenth Century Father and Son at the Court of Duke Sandalj Hranić Valentina Zovko One of the signi#$cant characteristics of the Ragusan foreign afairs during the medieval period was avoiding armed con%&icts. When the authorities did not manage to implement this endeavour, diplomacy played an important role in attempts to end them and insure damage reparations. In the #$rst half of the #$fteenth century the city of Dubrovnik was involved in Ragusan- Bosnian war (1403-1404) and the War of Konavle (1430-1433). During both con%&icts the government turned for help to Duke Sandalj Hranić of Bosnia. During the #$rst war, duke was in the process of rising to his fame, and the ending of this particular war, that brought Ostoja’s dethronisation and the fall of the Sanković family, marked Hranić’s rise to power. During the second war he was the key partner in Dubrovnik`s plan of destroying the hostile family Pavlović of Bosnia. The importance of Duke Sandalj for the outcome of these con%&icts sets the assumption that the government carefully took into account to select the most skilled noble for a holder of the mission. Marin, son of Ni#$ko de Gondula (around 1355-1405) 1 and his son Benedict (around 1390-1446) 2 received this con#$dence. It is interesting to notice that almost none of them had had an earlier experience in the service. 3 On the other hand, they took advantage of the ‘symbolic capital’ of their predecessors that enjoyed high political and social reputations in ful#$lling diplomatic missions.

  • Kratka Povjesnica Srba Od Postanja Srpstva Do Danas
    Kratka povjesnica Srba od postanja srpstva do danas Napisao Sima Lukin Lazić (Vrač Pogađač) Izdanje piščevo ZAGREB ŠTAMPARIJA KARLA ALBREHTA 1894 Riječ dvije. Istorija je grčka riječ, a srpski se to kaže povjest ili povjesnica iliti pametarnica — sve je to jedno isto. Poslije čitanja, pisanja, računanja i očenaša, svakome čovjeku rodoljubu najpreče je znanje: povjesnica roda i naroda njegovog. Čovjek, koji ne zna, a neće da pozna povjesnicu svoga naroda, to je nesvjesno čeljade bez roda i imena, bez ljubavi i ponosa. Takvo čeljade liči na siroče nahodče sa ulice, koje ne zna: ni kako je ni otkuda je došlo na svijet, ni ko mu je bio otac, đed i prađed. Povjesnica narodna, dakle, uči se za to: da poznamo svoj rod i porjeklo svoje; da znamo, ko smo, čiji smo i otkale smo; da znamo, ko su i kakvi su nam bili naši preci, naši stari, pa ili da se ponosimo njima i da se ugledamo na njih, ili da se poučimo njihovom patnjom, pa da se čuvamo, pogrješaka njihovih. Prošlost je vodilja budućnosti svakome pametnom i razboritom čovjeku, Tako i narod, koji poznaje i ljubi svoju prošlost— svoju povjesnicu — pouzdano ide na susret budućnosti, jer će tako moći da izbjegne one pogrješke, sa kojih je patio u prošlosti. Kad znamo povjesnicu svoga naroda, i duhom smo jači, ne osjećamo se sirotni i samohrani, jer onda znamo, da imamo u svijetu još puno braće svoje, pa čisto osjećamo, kako nad nama vazda stražare veliki dusi slavnih nam predaka i čuvaju nas, da nam u srcu nikad ne ugasne sveti oganj rodoljublja, zajedničkog srodstva i ljubavi bratinjske.
