    Bosnia and Herzegovina Page 1 of 7 Bosnia and Herzegovina International Religious Freedom Report 2008 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor The Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and the entity Constitutions of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (the Federation) and the Republika Srpska (RS) provide for freedom of religion; the Law on Religious Freedom also provides comprehensive rights to religious communities. These and other laws and policies contributed to the generally free practice of religion. The Government generally respected religious freedom in practice. Government protection of religious freedom improved slightly during the period covered by this report; however, local authorities continued at times to restrict religious freedom of minority religious groups. Societal abuses and discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice persisted. Discrimination against religious minorities occurred in nearly all parts of the country. The number of incidents targeting religious symbols, clerics, and property in the three ethnic majority areas decreased. Local religious leaders and politicians contributed to intolerance and an increase in nationalism through public statements. Religious symbols were often misused for political purposes. A number of illegally constructed religious objects continued to cause tension and conflict in various communities. The U.S. Government discusses religious freedom with the Government and leaders from the four traditional religious communities and emerging religious groups as part of its overall policy to promote human rights and reconciliation. The U.S. Embassy supported religious communities in their efforts to acquire permits to build new religious structures. The Embassy also assisted religious communities regarding restitution of property and supported several exchange, speaking, and cultural programs promoting religious freedom.

  • Nijaz Ibrulj Faculty of Philosophy University of Sarajevo BOSNIA PORPHYRIANA an OUTLINE of the DEVELOPMENT of LOGIC in BOSNIA AN
    UDK 16 (497.6) Nijaz Ibrulj Faculty of philosophy University of Sarajevo BOSNIA PORPHYRIANA AN OUTLINE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOGIC IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Abstract The text is a drought outlining the development of logic in Bosnia and Herzegovina through several periods of history: period of Ottoman occupation and administration of the Empire, period of Austro-Hungarian occupation and administration of the Monarchy, period of Communist regime and administration of the Socialist Republic and period from the aftermath of the aggression against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina to this day (the Dayton Bosnia and Herzegovina) and administration of the International Community. For each of the aforementioned periods, the text treats the organization of education, the educational paradigm of the model, status of logic as a subject in the educational system of a period, as well as the central figures dealing with the issue of logic (as researchers, lecturers, authors) and the key works written in each of the periods, outlining their main ideas. The work of a Neoplatonic philosopher Porphyry, “Introduction” (Greek: Eijsagwgh;v Latin: Isagoge; Arabic: Īsāġūğī) , can be seen, in all periods of education in Bosnia and Herze - govina, as the main text, the principal textbook, as a motivation for logical thinking. That gave me the right to introduce the syntagm Bosnia Porphyriana. SURVEY 109 1. Introduction Man taman ṭaqa tazandaqa.

    BOSNIA FORESTRY PROJECT Public Disclosure Authorized IMPACT OF FOREST TRUCK ROAD CONSTRUCTION ON THE ENVIRONMENT IN REPUBLIKA SRPSKA (EIA Study) Public Disclosure Authorized Banja Luka, August 2001 Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized I 'FILECO'pY1 e EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction and background This report represents the summary on environment impact assessment of forest road construction, within Forestry project in BiH financed by World Bank. Funds for road construction should be taken from remaining funds under IDA. Roads and locations, for which projects are elaborated, are as follows: 1. "Brankusa - section 115" in SFE "Ostrelj - Drinic" - Drinic 2. "Maksimovica potok" in SFE "telinac" - Celinac 3. "Mala Inova" in SFE "Borja" - Teslic 4. "Livade - Bad" in SFE "Maglic" - Srbinje 5. "Sipasno - Zlatac - Lokve" in SFE "Botin" - Nevesinje EIA studies are elaborated for all roads. These studies are about justification of road construction from aspect of positive, but also negative applications on the environment. Studies and executive summary have been elaborated by: 1. Mr Zoran Govedar and 2. Dipi. Ing. Ljubo Maric The Government of Republic of Srpska, by construction of new forest roads in mentioned SFEs, intends to influence on increasing of road infrastructure and openness of the forests. In that way the costs will be reduced and working efficiency increased in the most expensive phase of forest exploitation, which is skidding of wood assortments (transportation phase). Besides that road construction would increase other operational capacities in SFEs regarding protection, regeneration and nursering of forests, as well as other common useful forest functions (tourism, recreation, hunting, collection of secondary forest products and others).

  • Or Less Sustainable? Assessment from a Policy Perspective
    sustainability Review More or Less Sustainable? Assessment from a Policy Perspective Biljana Petrevska 1,* , Aleksandra Terzi´c 2 and Cvetko Andreeski 3 1 Faculty of Tourism and Business Logistics, Goce DelˇcevUniversity, 2000 Štip, Macedonia 2 Geographical Institute Jovan Cviji´c,SASA, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia; [email protected] 3 Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality—Ohrid, St. Kliment Ohridski University, 7000 Bitola, Macedonia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 March 2020; Accepted: 17 April 2020; Published: 24 April 2020 Abstract: Sustainability of tourism destinations has become the main focus in planning and managing tourism development. Despite existing legislation and an institutional framework to safeguard balanced tourism growth, many destinations fail to properly address it. So far, studies are limited in exploring sustainable tourism impacts from a policy perspective. This study follows previous ones in using the triple bottom line sustainability approach to define tourism impacts. It argues, in particular, for a nexus between understanding of policy perception and sustainability, and it applies this to tourist destinations in Serbia to determine whether they are operating sustainably. For this purpose, the data were collected using a combination of multiple methods, involving interviews with policymakers and content analysis of strategic documents. This study further suggests a model that assesses the extent of the sustainability of tourist destinations. The results illustrate the importance of understanding policy perceptions in shaping and facilitating sustainability and informing policy enablers on how to improve and reform current tourism development. The model can be adopted and applied to any tourist destination facing an inevitable need to re-shape their tourism development plans and policies, while the implications address the need to build a participative policy approach to sustainable tourism development.
