  • The Association of Cheese Producers in 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.

Dostupno online / Available online: 15.3.2012. of the Neretva riverbed salination (2004) Authors: Original scientific paper Igor Ljubenkov, Mijo Vranješ Numerical model of stratified flow – case study of the Neretva riverbed salination (2004) Two natural directions of saline sea water intrusion have been registered in the lower reaches of the Neretva River: the first direction of intrusion is through the Neretva Igor Ljubenkov, PhD. CE riverbed, and the second one through deeper underground layers. The numerical model GRAD invest d.o.o., Split of stratified flow is described, and its application in the analysis of the Neretva River [email protected] salination via the first direction of intrusion is presented. The model is calibrated based on measurements conducted in 2004. It was established that saline water appears in Metković at fresh water flow rates of less than 180 m3/s, while saline water is fully blocked out from the riverbed when water flow exceeds 500 m3/s.

  • Prezimena U Župi Svetoga Stjepana
    Domagoj Vidović PREZIMENA U ŽUPI SVETOGA STJEPANA 1. UVOD Iako se dva naselja na području današnje opuzenske župe u povijesnim vrelima spominju razmjerno rano (Brštanik na području današnje Podgradine 1253. i Posrednica na području današnjega Opuzena 1333.), o stanov- ništvu koje ih je napučivalo znamo veoma malo i to posredno, iz dokumenata koji se uglavnom tiču susjednoga Slivna. U XIII. stoljeću uglavnom su zapisana samo osobna imena tadašnjih Neretvana, npr. Druga (Drugha), Bogdana, Premila (Premilla), kći Staneke (Stanecha), Dragoslav (Dragoslaus) itd. Koncem XIII. stoljeća uz osobno se ime pojavljujuju i pridjevci (svojevrsna praprezimena), spominju se tako Slivanjci Bogdan Čeprnjić (Bogdanus Ceperniç), Berislav Umnenović (Berrisclauus Vmennouich) i Vladimir Grupšin (Vladimirus de Grupsa), a u Du- brovniku se u XIV. stoljeću spominju stanovnici Brštanika Petar Ostojić (Petrus Hostoich) i Bratoš Lupković (Bra- tos Lupcouich) te stanovnik Slivna (de Slievni) Radin Butković (Radin Butcouich). Kao stanovnici Slivna spominju se u XV. stoljeću izvjesni Veselko, Vukosav Novaković i Ostojica Pribisaljić (D. Vidović 2012: 133–134), a nakon dolaska Osmanlija zapisi su osobnih imena tadašnjih Neretvana još rjeđi, a razvoj je imenske formule zaustavljen do početka vođenja matičnih knjiga u Zaostrogu u XVII. stoljeću. Kad je riječ o užemu području same župe Opuzen, razvidno je da su nepogodno podneblje i položaj na ratnoj vjetrometini odradili da se ondje nije razvilo znatnije naselje tijekom osmanlijske okupacije. Trgovina je robljem, solju i drvnom građom u Opuzenu i Slivno znatno smanjena nakon što su se iz Neretvanske krajine povukli Du- brovčani, a višestoljetni uskočki upadi (isprva su se uskocima u napadima pridruživali i Neretvani koji su pred Osmanlijama prebjegli na Pelješac) dodatno su rijedili stanovništvo.
