When delegates gathered for the first ISEM meeting in Tivat in 2004 some of them were uncertain about this new venture and how it would work out. An International Symposium of Ecologists of Montenegro in a small, little known country on a rather specialist topic? This was something not attempted before. They needn’t have worried! These meetings have been marked by their friendliness and informality, in addition to providing a platform for the exchange of information. They have also been international, (not the “International participation” often advertised) with a good mix of people from all over the world, all of whom seemed to have got on well together. The aim was to learn more about the natural history and ecology of the Balkan area of Europe and especially Montenegro and at the same time give people the opportunity to see something of this beautiful country. Following Tivat we met in Kotor in 2006, a very special place, a world heritage site with an important fjord, a wonderful town with cobbled streets and an enormous history. ISEM 3 was held in Bijela, close to Herceg Novi, in 2008 and then in Budva. This year it has returned to Tivat. The format has remained largely the same – Plenary lectures from invited speakers, oral presentations and poster sessions with some ‘Round table’ discussion. The programme at each meeting has included sessions on the protection of the environment, bio and geodiversity, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, ecology of populations, agroecology, biospeleology and environmental education. Now we have reached ISEM5 and there is an opportunity to look back at the importance and success of these meetings. All of them have been important for different reasons. They have brought scientists together from different parts of the world to discuss their special interests and findings, often issues relevant to the Balkans, and through both formal and informal discussion, they have produced new ideas and collaborations for the future. As well as this, they have been useful in training young scientists to present their findings to a wider audience. We congratulate and thank Vladimir Pešić and his team for bringing us together in a relaxed atmosphere, making lasting friendships, giving us new ideas, and providing us with much new information. It was a bold move in the first place but the meetings have been efficiently organized and a great success. R. A. (Sandy) Baker. Member of the Scientific Committee.
