Evaluation of Transport sector implemented and financed by IPA FINAL EVALUATION Programme and Other Donors in the Republic of Serbia REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. This project is designed to assess the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability of ODA to Serbia for the period 2007-2011 and covers IPA, IFIs and bi-lateral donors. It aims to provide a framework for future decision-making with regard to the design, programming, implementation and evaluation of financial assistance based upon the lessons learned from past experiences and best practice; and to formulate policy objectives and indicators for future assistance that are both measurable and implementable. The project was carried out by Planet S.A from Greece and took place between March and June 2013. 2. The volume of IPA assistance to the transport sector in Serbia for the period 2007-2011 amounted to €83.34 million, of which €68.90 million has been contracted to date. IFI assistance comprised funding from the EIB, EBRD and the World Bank. Loans from the EIB amounted to €905 million with the total amount disbursed to date being €109.30 million. The EBRD’s budget amounted to €430 million of which only €90 million has been disbursed to date, whilst that from the World Bank amounted to some $388 million of which some $25 million has been disbursed. Of the bi-lateral donors funding transport projects in this period, the Hellenic Plan has provided grants of some €70 million whilst the Czech Government provided €1.5 million and the Chinese Government some €300 million, most of which has been for the Zemun Bridge. 3.

FORENSIC AND LEGAL MEDICINE We are presenting you our theme with a lot of enthusiasm. Not much time was needed before we decided on the topic. It might be something unusual and not the first thing that comes to mind when you think about medicine as an EMSA member and as a young medical student but considering all aspects, this is the topic we found to be the most interesting and unusual to foreigners, and the best way to present our faculty. Considering that laws in Serbia differ from the rest of European countries, we decided to go for this topic. Forensics is highly developed in Serbia and we have many extraordinary cases that our experts will present to you and we will make some interesting workshops as well. Many of our forensics medicine, molecular genetics, and toxicology experts are well known and appreciated not only regionally, but worldwide. We hope that you will find this topic interesting, that you will enjoy the symposium and actively participate in the workshops. WELCOME MESSAGES Dear EMSAi, On behalf of the EMSA European Board as well as the Department of Capacity I am honored to welcome you to EMSA Spring Assembly 2020. I would like to start by giving my special thanks to the Organising Committee of EMSA Novi Sad and EMSA Belgrade for their months long efforts to make this event splendid, memorable and outstanding.

  • ROADS of SERBIA” ZORAN DROBNJAK “When You Want to Develop an Area, Equip It with Good Roads”, Prof
    INTRODUCTION ACTING DIRECTOR OF THE PE “ROADS OF SERBIA” ZORAN DROBNJAK “When you want to develop an area, equip it with good roads”, prof. dr Milan Vujanić says and I entirely agree with this. Interdependence of industry and roads is quite evident because roads, in addition to their main function concerning the transport of people and goods, also generate growth and development of all places through which the road network passes as well as all other which are indirectly connected with motorways and other important routes in the Republic of Serbia. Thus it is the main dedication of the PE “Roads of Serbia” to achieve what is expected from us – to successfully finish all investments and provide the same level of quality of all the roads in Serbia with constant increase of the level of traffic safety, with cordial assistance of the Government of the Republic of Serbia and the Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure. This is an imperative of our work, not only because of the expectations in front of us regarding the accession to the European Union, but also because good roads are one of the pillars of every serious and modern country. Road towards the achievement of big results starts with the devotion of individuals, each one of us. Owing to an exceptional devotion of the employees in the PE “Roads of Serbia”, achievement of the adopted plans is possible, regardless of the difficulties and not always favourable work conditions which the time sets upon us. Daily perseverance, devotion and openness of our employees to new knowledge and changes is obvious.

  • China's Economic Footprint in the Western Balkans
    Jacob Mardell ASIA POLICY BRIEF China's Economic Footprint in the Western Balkans Geopolitics has returned to vogue, and the EU does not enjoy a monopoly on inuence in the Western Balkans. China is the latest player on the scene, and although its economic footprint is still relatively small, Beijing’s growing presence is a new reality that Brussels needs to contend with. China’s “no-strings attached” nancing of infrastructure potentially undermines the EU’s reform-orientated approach. Relevance Bertelsmann Stiftung Focus Bertelsmann Stiftung Forecast Bertelsmann Stiftung Information Bertelsmann Stiftung Options Bertelsmann Stiftung About the author Jacob Mardell is a freelance researcher and journalist who has recently travelled Eurasia exploring China’s Belt and Road Initiative. He is writing a series of articles, "On the New Silk Road,". Since March, he has traveled overland from the UK to Beijing. Over the next ve months he will be travelling in Southeast Asia, returning to Europe over sea, via Djibouti and Ethiopia. Beijing’s approach China’s economic presence in the Western Balkans Six (WB6) countries of Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia is framed in terms of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a foreign policy slogan and development concept announced by Xi Jinping in 2013. Although China maintained active diplomatic relations with Yugoslavia during the 1980s and 1990s and vocally opposed the NATO bombing of Serbia and Montenegro in the late 1990s, economic outreach in the countries of former Yugoslavia only truly began (with Serbia) in the second decade of the 21st Century. Beijing’s relationship with Albania – not part of former Yugoslavia – was very close until the Sino-Albanian split of the 1970s, but this historical curiosity has little bearing on contemporary Sino-Albanian relations.

EU has defined its priority axes that run parallel with Corridor 10 in Serbia. The neighbouring countries construct speedily the infrastructure network in the close vicinity. 2. Road transit transport on Corridor 10 has stagnated, and an increasing trend is recorded only on the directions east-west and northeast-southwest. Network Traffic Load and Regional Traffic Flows The largest traffic load is on the passage through Belgrade, which is why construction of Belgrade Bypass is one of the priorities. Regional traffic flows through Serbia include both transit flows and Serbia’s bilateral exchange; they are most expressed on the east-west direction.

This paper will make a theoretical analysis of intermodal transportation, related to the terminology, development and basic technologies which are used. Analysis of the state of intermodal transport in Republic of Croatia and Republic of Serbia, will be made through the flow of goods and transport corridors which pass through the Republic of Croatia and Republic of Serbia, analysis of the network of intermodal terminals, as well as specific problems that occur, which are related to the legislative, organizational, technical and technological problems. Keywords: intermodal transport, intermodal terminal, cargo flows, transport corridors.
