  • Transplanted Or Uprooted?: Integration Efforts of Bosnian
    Transplanted or Uprooted? Integration Efforts of Bosnian Refugees Based Upon Gender, Class and Ethnic Differences in New York City and Vienna Barbara Franz STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT ULSTER ABSTRACT During their settlement in Vienna and New York City, Bosnian refugees experienced class and ethnic conflicts. While the integration mechanisms of the two host societies differed substantially, Bosnian men and women have developed quite different networks. Bosnian women in the Vienna sample devel- oped often lasting relationships with natives or other non-refugees that eventually led to permanent jobs and rather substantial networks. They integrated particu- larly into wider majority societal circles. However, even though women in Vienna developed substantial networks, clashes based on different social classes often resulted in conflicts in the women’s work environment. Bosnian women and men in New York City only rarely established similar networks with US residents and other long-term residents. Their integration occurred more along ethnic bound- aries. Bosnian men in Vienna and the Bosnian refugee population in general in New York City integrated predominantly into the newly formed Bosnian communities in those locales. KEY WORDS Bosnian refugee women ◆ class and ethnic conflict ◆ community creation ◆ discrimination ◆ ethnonationalism ◆ networks ◆ (re)settlement schemes ◆ social and economic integration Describing migrant and refugee women’s structural problems in their efforts to integrate into host countries, migration studies have developed models of ‘triple suppression’ – focused on class, ethnic minority and gender categories – and of ‘double discrimination’ – incorporating non- citizenship and gender status. Both models maintain that citizenship provides greater socioeconomic security for natives than migrants or refugees and that women migrants or female refugees encounter additional structural handicaps in host societies.

    Agric. Econ. – Czech, 60, 2014 (10): 479–487 Scientifi c Information Proposal for the EU CAP compliant agricultural budgeting model in Montenegro Gordana DJUROVIC1, Branko BULATOVIC2 1Faculty of Economics, University of Montenegro, Podgorica, Montenegro 2The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Podgorica, Montenegro Abstract: After the offi cial start of the Montenegrin accession negotiations with the EU in June 2012, it is important to plan a signifi cant increase in the agricultural budget fi nancing well ahead of the accession. Considering the structure and economic importance of agriculture for the generation of Montenegrin GDP, the balanced trade defi cit, the reduction of poverty and the regional disparities in development and reversing the negative demographic trends, the proposed reformed agricultural budget of Montenegro in the period 2014–2018 outlines signifi cantly higher levels of the funding both as a share of the state budget and the GDP. Th e proposed proportions of fi nancing of the key measure groups in the subsequent tables utilize as a starting point the model defi ned in the Montenegrin National Program of Food Production and Rural Development 2009–2013. Some changes in the proportion of the measures are also proposed according to the agricultural sector needs and the institutional capacity building for the next phase of the EU accession negotiations. In order to prepare the Montenegrin agriculture to cope with the competitive pressures of the EU single market, the indisputable conclusion of this study is that the proposed future levels of agricultural funding in the agricultural budget should be at least near to tho- se (in the relative terms) of the comparable economies of the Western Balkans countries.

  • North Macedonia: in Brief
    North Macedonia: In Brief May 29, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45739 SUMMARY R45739 North Macedonia: In Brief May 29, 2019 The United States has supported North Macedonia since its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 and strongly backs its European Union (EU) and NATO ambitions. (The country’s Sarah E. Garding constitutional name was the Republic of Macedonia until February 2019, when it was renamed Analyst in Balkan and the Republic of North Macedonia.) On multiple occasions, the United States played a key role in Southeast Europe Affairs defusing political crises and interethnic tensions in North Macedonia. For more than two decades, a U.S. diplomat led United Nations–brokered negotiations between Greece and then-Macedonia to resolve their bilateral dispute over the latter’s use of the name Macedonia. With strong U.S. support, in 2018 North Macedonia and Greece reached the landmark Prespa Agreement, which resulted in the name change and resolved their bilateral dispute. Many Members of Congress have supported North Macedonia’s integration into Euro-Atlantic institutions. In 2007, the NATO Freedom Consolidation Act (P.L. 110-17) was passed to affirm congressional support for enlargement and make North Macedonia eligible for assistance under the NATO Participation Act of 1994. Resolutions were also sponsored in both chambers in 2018 to support the Prespa Agreement with Greece and endorse North Macedonia’s bid for NATO membership. Congressional interest in North Macedonia is also connected to broader policy concerns over the influence of Russia, China, and other external actors in the Western Balkans. In 2017, North Macedonia emerged from a destabilizing two-year crisis with a new government that pledged to redouble the country’s Euro-Atlantic integration efforts and enact reforms to tackle the corruption and state capture that took root under previous governments.
