EU funds that are available in Serbia are modest both in volume and number, since Serbia received pre-accession status only in 2014. Before that, it was only a potential pre-accession country on the external border of the European Union. From the five components of IPA (2007-2013) Serbia could have utilised only the first two components in the pre-accession process: building of EU institutions (EXCHANGE I-IV, Regional Socio-Economic Development Programme) and enhancing cross-border cooperation As a conclusion we can say that although substantial sums were invested from the above mentioned resources into the economy of Vojvodina for its development,...

The present paper argues that the capability approach of Amartya Sen provides a meaningful contribution in understanding, evaluating and improving the well-being effects of local development projects. It focuses on what people can actually achieve, instead of what they have; and places equal attention to the process and the outcomes of the development process. The paper develops an analytical framework to evaluate local development projects, which is fine-tuned for middle and high income settings and allows comparison between cases. The framework is applied to three local development projects in a middle-sized city in Hungary. We found that the rich...

Cultural attractions are often linked to unique features of the host population, and are often related to a national minority or a segment of the population that preserved their traditions. Ethnically or religiously varied countries may often have such unique attractions, that seem exotic and appealing to tourists. Multiculturality is often an attraction for tourism, offering generally an authentic experience for visitors of different backgrounds. Besides, an ethnically or linguistically varied population can also provide a linguisticaly more skilful labour force, that is more sensitive to the needs of visitors coming from different cultures, and thus...

Bailiwick of Guernsey, situated in the English Channel off the coast of Normandy, just like Jersey and the Isle of Man, is an UK Crown dependency and an autonomous jurisdiction. These Crown dependencies are not members of the Commonwealth of Nations nor of the European Union. Furthermore, Guernsey is not part of France nor of the United Kingdom. This atypical status of Guernsey runs back several hundred years: from 1204 the island takes advantage of its special legal status and in general, it has not been managed badly. Despite all this, it cannot be considered as a totally independent, sovereign state. In addition to its special legal status, Guernsey...

Little attention is paid to the inhabitants' views of places where brownfields are localized. If the residents attract some attention in this matter, it is most often at global level, and no influence of responders' characteristics or of place of questioning on the perception of problems of brownfields is examined in more detail. However, there is a consensus among researchers that these variables have an immediate effect on perception. That is why we set the objective to assess the impact of inhabitants' characteristics and of the place of residence on the structure of preferences for various types of brownfields regeneration. Respondents were questioned...

This article presents a discussion and reflection on the concept of monitoring the life cycle of threats. Furthermore, it indicates that due to the changing environmental conditions, for example, there may also be changes in the evaluation of not only the threat dynamics as a whole, but also of its various phases. This approach, with an emphasis on exploring the dynamics of each phase, is first tested on a hypothetical example. Subsequently, a verification of these considerations is conducted on the example of the development of specific threats - floods on two rivers.

The aim of the paper is to assess the current position and situation of the Czech sugar market actors. The new situation is expected due to the declared phasing of out of sugar quota with the EU Common Agriculture Policy. The analysis is based on secondary date from the statistics of the Czech Statistical Office and the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic. Czech Republic has a long strong tradition in sugar production. It lost a leading position in the sugar market in the past. The sugar industry has been affected by various factors during several periods. The last big challenge for the market was the restricting system of the Common Agriculture...
