  • 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.

  • Serbian Enclaves in Kosovo Kosovo in Enclaves Serbian in in Ion in Bosnia and Kosovo,” Kosovo,” and Bosnia in Ion
    LIMITS OF ETHNIC BARGAINING: SERBIAN ENCLAVES IN KOSOVO By Bojan Elek Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations and European Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Erin Kristin Jenne CEU eTD Collection Word Count: 17,031 Budapest, Hungary 2013 Abstract This paper examines the processes of status bargaining of two Serbian enclaves in Kosovo with the central government in Pristina. It develops a middle range theoretical model of enclave bargaining in order to account for different claims advanced against the center, by focusing on different practices and institutions of ethnic enclaves. Ethnic groups are largely viewed as unitary actors by dominant theories on claim making. This research shows that these groups are sometimes fragmented and have divergent interests, depending on their territorial position and demographic patterns. The changes in radicalization of enclavised ethnic groups are explained as a function of their bargaining leverage, which depends on the incentives offered to these enclaves by their external lobby actors and the host government. CEU eTD Collection i Acknowledgments I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Erin K. Jenne. Without her help, this master thesis would not have been the same. Also, I would like to thank my friends and family, for without them I would be a Master of Arts with no friends or family.

  • 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.

    Corridor 10 – Better Links Between the Region and Europe Dr Dušan Mladenović Association of Transport and Telecommunications Tradition Valleys of the Rivers Danube, Sava and Morava, have been some of the most important transportation corridors in the South East Europe for more than 2,000 years. Pan-European Corridors in the Balkans Corridor 10 With Its Branches крацима It runs from Austria to Greece. It includes both the railway corridor, 2,528 km long, and the road corridor, 2,300 km long.

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.
