    DANUBE POLLUTION REDUCTION PROGRAMME NATIONAL REVIEWS 1998 BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ministry of Agriculture, Water Management and Forestry in cooperation with the Programme Coordination Unit UNDP/GEF Assistance DANUBE POLLUTION REDUCTION PROGRAMME NATIONAL REVIEWS 1998 BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ministry of Agriculture, Water Management and Forestry in cooperation with the Programme Coordination Unit UNDP/GEF Assistance Preface The National Reviews were designed to produce basic data and information for the elaboration of the Pollution Reduction Programme (PRP), the Transboundary Analysis and the revision of the Strategic Action Plan of the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR). Particular attention was also given to collect data and information for specific purposes concerning the development of the Danube Water Quality Model, the identification and evaluation of hot spots, the analysis of social and economic factors, the preparation of an investment portfolio and the development of financing mechanisms for the implementation of the ICPDR Action Plan. For the elaboration of the National Reviews, a team of national experts was recruited in each of the participating countries for a period of one to four months covering the following positions: Socio-economist with knowledge in population studies, Financial expert (preferably from the Ministry of Finance), Water Quality Data expert/information specialist, Water Engineering expert with knowledge in project development. Each of the experts had to organize his or her work under the supervision of the respective Country Programme Coordinator and with the guidance of a team of International Consultants. The tasks were laid out in specific Terms of Reference. At a Regional Workshop in Budapest from 27 to 29 January 1998, the national teams and the group of international consultants discussed in detail the methodological approach and the content of the National Reviews to assure coherence of results.

  • Permanent Mission of the Republic of Croatia to the International
    Permanent Mission of the Republic of Croatia EF.DEL/10/07/Corr.1 to the International Organizations in Vienna 23 January 2007 ENGLISH only Statement made by Mr. Zdravko KRMEK, State Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management (Session IV of the 15th OSCE Economic and Environmental Forum, Vienna, 23 January 2007) Mr. Chairman, in the framework of our today's discussion I would like to stress the importance of a consultation between neighbouring states and at the regional level when combating soil degradation in the aim to avoid social problems linked to sustainable development. The Republic of Croatia, as probably a number of other states who have been part of former federations or composite states, has interesting experience in the field: rivers or river basins of internal nature are now of international character. This requires a number of interstate agreements on integral water management. One of the best examples for good cooperation on the regional level is without any doubt the Framework Agreement in Sava River Basin signed in 2003 by four countries of the Former Yugoslav Federation: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia with the participation of international partners including the Stability Pact and the OSCE. This initiative is today better known as Sava River Initiative and the first experience shows that this is a very good basis for further cooperation between these four countries. With the Republic of Slovenia there is also the Agreement of Integral Water Management, signed in 1997, as well as with Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1996. With the Republic of Montenegro a preparation of such an agreement is in final phase, as well as with the Republic of Serbia.

  • Local Memory Practices of the Memorial Complex at Mrakovica, Bosnia and Herzegovina
    Manuela BRENNER The Construction, De- and Reconstruction of History and Memory: Local Memory Practices of the Memorial Complex at Mrakovica, Bosnia and Herzegovina THE CONSTRUCTION, DE- AND RECONSTRUCTION OF HISTORY AND MEMORY: LOCAL MEMORY PRACTICES OF THE MEMORIAL COMPLEX AT MRAKOVICA, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Manuela BRENNER University of Regensburg UDK: 069(497.6 Mrakovica):94(4)“1941/1945“ 069(497.6 Mrakovica:355(497.6)“1992/1995“ Prethodno priopćenje Primljeno: 07.10.2013. Prihvaćeno: 05.01.2014. This paper examines the memory practices of the memorial complex at Mrakovica at the Kozara National Park in the Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The original concept of the memorial site, founded in 1972, was to keep the Kozara-epos alive. The erected monument, the memorial wall and the museum were built to remember one of the biggest battles during the Second World War on Yugoslav soil during which more than ten thousand Partisan fighters and civilians lost their lives. During the communist era the memorial site fit into the official memory frame: the high number of casualties, especially civilians, was put into the foreground and the Partisans in their struggle for liberation were glorified. The key component of the official narrative was the slogan brotherhood and unity. After the armed conflict in the 1990s, the site underwent several transformations. New memorial frames were set by nationalists; thus history and memory were thereby de- and reconstructed. The new narrative included not only victims of the Second World War but exclusively those victims belonging to the ethnic group of Serbs of the First World War and the conflict in 1992-95.

The Association „Gruda“, Ravno 10. Farm Zaruđe, Vareš 11. Svjetlana Miletić, Fojnica (independent producer) Summary Table Cheese from Bosnia and Herzegovina... Thanks to the unique climate and its specific environment, Bosnia and Herzegovina may be proud of something which much larger countries do not have – beautiful types of cheese. Clean rivers and streams, pearl–like mountain lakes and huge areas for pasture have always been appropriate for cattle breeding development and the cheese production has been present here since the old times. An important characteristic of the cheese is a climate: one must feel regional vegetation in cheese, herbs from certain region, and a domestic tradition of producing has to be respected. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, as it is a rare case anywhere, there are extraordinary conditions for top-quality cheeses. Apart from a big diversity of cheese on offer, most people from Bosnia and Herzegovina will agree with regard to the most famous ones: these are the Vlašić (Travnik) cheese, the Livno cheese, the Herzegovinian sack cheese and Trappist from the Banja Luka area.

  • Mapping and Assessment Ecosystems and Their Services of Grassland and Forest in Montenegro (Project Title)
    ANNEX 5 TERMS OF REFERENCE Transfer of Czech Knowledge: Mapping and Assessment Ecosystems and their Services of Grassland and Forest in Montenegro (Project Title) Project Objectives: Czech Republic invested significant effort in quantifying what is the contribution of protected areas to national economy. During these processes undertaken by different institutions and organizations, several projects focused on mapping and assessing services provided by grassland and forests where implemented. These initiatives are contributing not only to disseminating the knowledge and understanding of value and importance of services provided by ecosystems but is directly contributing to global processes such as Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, The economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity etc). Taking in consideration that Montenegro is making first steps toward understanding and indorsing these initiatives and practice, through this project we would link these institutions with partner institutions from Montenegro, and establish linkages and partnerships that would be mutually beneficial. The main strength of the project would be focusing on learning by doing approach. Two pilot sites would be used as pilots for joint work of Czech and Montenegro experts in order to obtain detailed assessment of ecosystem services provided by forests and grasslands in these areas. Czech experience will be amended to fit Montenegro legal and development framework, and set of recommendations will be developed, based on experiences gained in PES schemes design in two pilot sites. Sites are predefined as area of Komovi and Piva Mountain massif. In these two areas UNDP CO Montenegro is working on establishment of two new protected areas (level of regional parks, category III as per IUCN categorization).
