  • Montenegro Guidebook
    MONTENEGRO PREFACE Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, lies in a broad plain crossed by five rivers and surrounded by mountains, just 20 kilometers from the Albanian border. The city has a population of around 180,000 people. Bombed into rubble during World War II, Podgorica was rebuilt into a modern urban center, with high-rise apartment buildings and new office and shopping developments. While the latest Balkan war had a low impact on the physical structures, the economic sanctions had a devastating effect on employment and infrastructure. With the help of foreign investment, urban renewal is evident throughout the city, but much of it may still appear run down. Podgorica has a European-style town center with a pedestrian- only walking street (mall) and an assortment of restaurants, cafes, and boutiques. To many, its principal attraction is as a base for the exploration of Montenegro’s natural beauty, with mountains and wild countryside all around and the stunning Adriatic coastline less than an hour away. This is a mountainous region with barren moorlands and virgin forests, with fast-flowing rivers and picturesque lakes; Skadar Lake in particular is of ecological significance. The coastline is known for its sandy beaches and dramatic coves: for example, Kotor – the city that is protected by UNESCO and the wonderful Cathedral of Saint Typhoon; the unique baroque Perast; Saint George and Our Lady of the Rock islands – all locations that tell a story of a lasting civilization and the wealth of the most wonderful bay in the world. The area around the city of Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage site for its natural beauty and historic significance.

Though some, not all, of these objections were ostensibly addressed in their responses, they were not addressed fully nor adequately. I raised concerns regarding Meadows assumptions on growth in demand for Alpine skiing. The last ten years MHM stated continued growth trends, but actually the most recent previous two years that has not been the trend. The true growth is in Nordic skiing. The majority of the Nordic community is against the creation of the Twilight lot without a comprehensive analysis of potential future use of this terrain, and nearby Nordic trails and connecting trails. This type of analysis has not been done, and would be precluded by proceeding with the construction of the Twilight lot before all future use options have been considered. Second, I asked that MHM be required by the FS to place the funds, $500,000, for a Nordic center in a designated account for a future Nordic center building, and a restrictive timeline for construction. If the parking lot is to be built, the Nordic community should have some prior input on the Nordic facility to be built prior to the lots final approval. The response that was posted simply stated that "a" facility would be built within three years.

  • Establishment of Natura 2000 Network in Montenegro General Report on Cave Habitat Type Introduction Establishment of Criteria Fo
    ESTABLISHMENT OF NATURA 2000 NETWORK IN MONTENEGRO GENERAL REPORT ON CAVE HABITAT TYPE Author: Dr Marko G. Karaman Contributor: Miloš Pavićević Date: 1. December 2018. INTRODUCTION This report is general overview of results from the caves inventory within the project „Establishment of Natura 2000 network in Montenegro“. General goal of the project is to build foundations of the future Natura 2000 net- work in Montenegro. The data gathering is the core activity of this project. Even though this activity cannot deliver all data needed for establishment of this part of future Natura 2000 network, its main objective is to provide a firm base for the next activities and projects leading to completion of data sets needed for Natura 2000 site proposal. Activities covered by the project are extensive field mapping in preselected areas (so called Key Biodiversity Areas - KBAs) combined with comprehensive desktop research. This report is an output of the caves inventory aiming to collect both speleological and biological data from the speleological objects located in KBAs and ASCIs incl. 2-3 km wide buffer zone. The inventory was focused only on the habitat type “8310 Caves not opened to the public” listed in the Annex I of the EU Habitats Directive. Only the following pre-selected areas of Montenegro were covered by this activity: 1. Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) Prokletje and areas of special conservation importance (ASCI) Dolina Lima 2. KBA Moračke planine 3. KBA Komovi and ASCI Kanjon Male rijeke 4. KBA Hajla and ASCI Hajla 5. KBA Durmitor, ASCI Durmitor and valleys of rivers Komarnica and Pridvorica 6.

  • Introduction
    WILD SOUL OF EUROPE Introduction The Chamber of Commerce & Industry of Serbia and the Chamber of Economy of Montenegro, on the initiative of the Embassy of Montenegro in Belgrade, and in cooperation with the Tourist Organisation of Serbia and the National Tourism Organisation of Montenegro, have created this unique tourist offer. The programmes presented in this brochure are based on the specific natural and cultural heritage of Montenegro and the Republic of Serbia. The aim of this joint tourism product is to promote regional cooperation in the field of tourism, to achieve greater recognition for the region, to extend the tourist season and to ensure the better presentation of tourist programmes on third markets. The seven tours presented in this brochure were developed by the two Chambers with the idea of addressing a wide range of tourists, thus the offer includes some tough adventurous experiences, hiking, cycling, off-road jeep tours, traditional dishes and wine tasting etc. This brochure is confirmation that tourism is well-recognised as an important instrument of regional cooperation and a powerful catalyst for the European integration process. We are confident that our joint tourist product will enrich the tourism offer as a whole, with consideration for all of our peculiarities, specificities and diversities. WILD SOUL OF EUROPE Wheels of steel 9-DAY CYCLING TOUR HIGHLIGHT With its many gorges and steep cliffs, the Tresnjica area resembles a canyon.

DOI: https: //doi.org/10.3986/AGS.8092 UDC: 551.324:551.58 (234.422.1)«2011/2018« COBISS: 1.01 Emil Mariov Gachev 1, 2 Small glaciers in the Dinaric Mountains after eight years of observation: On the verge of extinction? ABSTRACT: This study presents results from regular observation of permanent and summer-persisting firn-ice bodies in the highest parts of the Dinaric Alps. The sizes of six small glaciers and two snow patch - es on the Prokletije Massif (in Albania) and the Durmitor Massif (in Montenegro) were measured from 2011 to 2018. In recent years, specific cycles of interannual behavior have been observed: a year of considerable snow accumulation (a »recharge« phase), followed by two to four years of gradual decrease (a »wastage« phase). At present, the small glaciers studied exist in unbalanced conditions, which in the long term may lead to their degradation. Progressive warming makes short-term cycle minimums increasingly severe. Their retreat after the summer of 2017 was probably the most pronounced since the Little Ice Age, and small glaciers are on the verge of extinction.

Moreover, school system administration is divided by authority among 14 Ministries of Education: 10 cantonal, 2 other entities, 1 Brcko District and 1 national Ministry of Civil Affairs, responsible for national coordination and international cooperation in the fields of science and education. K-12 Education The educational system is divided into the preschool level, elementary school (grades 8-9), high school (grades 3-4) and higher/university education. Within this system, Environmental Education (EE) is not a separate subject, but a cross-curriculum topic that has certain units covered in different subjects e.g. nature & society for elementary school or later in biology. More practical work is done through eco- clubs, an extra-curricular activity designed and run by teachers without any official framework, monitoring, guidebooks or the like.
