Parallel with the research of Bacillariophyta flora in the well with shadoof on the area of Semberija was researched Bacillariophyta flora of other freshwater systems that are located in the near or distant environment from the researched wells, such as Drenovaĉa swamp, Sava river, Jelaz canal, artesian wells and ephemeral swamps. It is very interesting to compare Bacillariophyta flora that inhabits wells and Bacillariophyta flora of Drenovaĉa swamp that is only a dozen meters away from the researched well of Lazić Mijo, a local in the village Velino Selo.All identified Bacillariophyta in researched well belong to aerophile, which indicates on certain ecology of the well, that is a specific life conditions that are present in wells as anthropogenic creations. Contrary to the well flora, Bacillariophyta flora of Drenovaĉa swamp is composed party of algae belonging to benthos. In Lazić Mijo well were identified 33Bacillariophyta, all aerophile, while in Drenovaĉa swamp were identified 57 Bacillariophyta, from which only 18 are aerophile and others belong to benthos.Considering that Bacillariophyta is a component of aeroplankton, and that via air currents can be transmitted over long distances, it is assumed that similarly aerophile Bacillariophyta were transmitted on mosses associations on the well wall, manifested their adaptive attributes in such biotopes, and by that became autochthonous flora of the well. Large qualitative differences in Bacillariophyta flora in wells with shadoof and in Bacillariophyta flora of Drenovaĉa swamp also indicate on autochthony of Bacillariophyta flora of the well, which means that species were not transmitted from the neighborhood.

The research and determination of diatoms (Bacillariophyta) have been carried out in the area ofSemberija (Bosnia and Herzegovina) in several locations, which included 35 open shadoof wellsincurred by the anthropogenic activity many decades ago, and they represent artificial fresh waterecosystems. The algological material has been collected from wells in 9 villages, the Sava River, at thesite Bosanska Rača, the Drenovača pond in Velino Selo, artesian wells in Velino Selo and DonjiBrodac, and ephemeral puddles in the immediate proximity of the researched wells. In all investigatedhabitats of those locations 149 species and infraspecific taxa of Bacillariophyta in total have beenidentified, of which 89 (59.73%) were identified only in the investigated wells in Semberija.On the basis of comparative analysis results, it can be concluded that 45 (30.20%) of species andinfraspecific taxa of Bacillariophyta are common for the wells and other investigated localities (SavaRiver, Drenovača pond, artesian wells, ephemeral puddles). 61 species and infraspecific taxa ofBacillariophyta (40.93%) were identified in Sava River, 57 species and infraspecific taxa (38.25%) inDrenovača pond, 21 species in front of the artesian wells and 16 species and infraspecific taxa in theephemeral puddles. The density of population, i.e. the production of Bacillariophyta in the investigatedwells, shows similar seasonal fluctuations. The highest average number of plants per unit of area on themoss leaves at a depth of 50 cm of well walls amounted to 453702 items/cm2, and the lowest averagenumber of plants was recorded at the depth of 200 cm of well walls and amounted to 68.207 items/cm2.In order to have the objective results of the researched and identified diatoms in the mentioned biotopes,the numerical analysis of qualitative data on the structure of diatoms in similar biotopes, i.e. on theircoenological similarities, have been carried out.

Judicial Role

Preserved terminational or border- writings from the area of today’s Bosnia and Herzegovina, point towards the judicial role of the administrator of the province in disputes about the borders of land, belonging to particular tribes and they most certainly represent a valuable source in tracing the topographical distribution of certain tribes, but also point towards the type of organisation and execution of judicial power in the provinces. Thus, from the writings on bedrock near the village of Vaganj (the municipality of Šipovo, near Jajce), we learn that the governor of the Dalmatia province, Lucius Camillus Scribonianus, during the reign of Emperor Claudius, authorised the centurion of the VII legion to mark the borders of the Sapuat and Lamatin tribes, which he did. The writings begin with the name of the governor of the province, so the judicial ruling was always made at his order or decree (ex decreto, ex iussu, ex sententialetc), according to Roman jurist Callistratus. Justinian’s Digesta in the first volume and XVIII titulus with 21 fragment and 11 paragraphs, based on the fragments from the works of some of the most significant Roman jurists: Ulpian, Paulus, Julius, Modestinus, Papinianus and others, along with other officials, also regulate the responsibilities of the governor of the province. The paper was based on the Latin text Corpus IurisCivilis, vol.1, 1st edition, 1872, edited by Theodorus Mommsen and XI edition, edited by Paulus Krueger, based on the Liber Florentinus and the translation into the Serbian language by AntunMalenica, PhD.

Following the Symposium on distribution of the Illyrians (4th to 2nd centuries B.C., Sarajevo, 1964), the view that the northern border of the Illyrians ran along the line even much southerner than the Sava (nn.2-8) has been firmly established in our archeology; this attitude has been extended to the Illyrian tribes in Roman times (n.7). At the same time, historians of the pre-Roman and Roman periods in the Balkans still hold the view of predominantly Illyrian origins of the tribes from Lower Pannonia, between the Danube and the lower course of the Sava river (n.9), based on contemporary historiographic epigraphic and linguistic evidence. Therefore, the author dwelled on the issue whether the Illyrian name, and in which meaning, may be applied to the inhabitants of Lower Pannonia in the Roman times as well. According to ancient literary sources (Strabo and Apian) it follows that the Pannonian tribes in the ancient times were deemed to be Illyrian (pp. 2-3). Furthermore in mythology, the Pannonios was the descendant of Illyrians (App. Illyr. 2; cf. Papazoglu 1969, 265 n. 233), which points to the common awareness of being part of Lower Pannonia and other Illyrian tribes. Important evidence for this issue is deemed to be anthroponyms as well; Pannonian names in the research to date have shown to be different from Illyrian (p. 7 with note). The author gives the examples of names Dassius and Liccaius, epigraphically confirmed with Breuck and Amantino (6, note 30, and p. 7 with note), which she considers to have originated from Illyrian territory proper; that is proved by a wax tablet from Dacia, where the words Dassius Verzonis, Pirusta ex Kavieretio and Liccaius Epicadi were written (tab. cer. VI; cf. p. 8). As is well known, parts of the Illyrian population from southern Dalmatia were relocated to work in Dacia mines; that this is the case here as well is proved by referring to an Illyrian ethnic, Pirust, as well as the name of the village. On account of the closeness in spiritual and cultural spheres, the awareness of the common mythical forefather, similarities or sameness in anthroponyms, there is no justification, at least regarding the Roman times, for distinguishing the inhabitants of Pannonia from (other) Illyrians, even if the issue of their ethnical connection or identicalness is not considered.

Reconstruction of share in an existing corridor of Terminal Brod to the Croatian border on the SavaRiver is part of the corridor, which continues to go across the river to Slavonski Brod. The existingcorridor will be replaced on a part of Sava River, where is planned a production of a tunnel with twovertical shafts on the banks of the river. Research in the field of the shafts and tunnels are divided intwo parts considering the border line between the countries Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. Onthe right bank of the Sava River researches were conducted in the development of the vertical shaft.The complexity of the geological structure and the proximity of of the Sava River require thedevelopment of the vertical shaft from the supporting structure of reinforced concrete (RC) midriffs.Also, the flow of water into the shaft is largely expected from its bottom, which requires manufacturing

Established Genus

Chaetomargoreicheia Magrini & Bulirsch, 2005 is a recently established genus of scaritine ground beetles (Bulirsch & Guéorguiev, 2008) (treated by certain authors as a subgenus of the genus Reicheadella Reitter, 1913) (Magrini & Bulirsch, 2005; Balkenohl, 2017) which currently contains two endogean species inhabiting the Balkan Peninsula: Chaetomargoreicheia zoufali (Reitter, 1913) and C. lakotai (Magrini & Bulirsch, 2005) (Balkenohl, 2003, 2017; Magrini & Bulirsch, 2005; Bulirsch & Guéorguiev, 2008). The aforementioned species are montane and inhabit confined geographic areas (Jeannel, 1957; Magrini & Bulirsch, 2005). C. zoufali was found only in the surroundings of the village of Ravno (collected beneath a deep layer of leaf-litter), Mt. Bjelasnica, near Trebinje, E Herzegovina (Bosnia and Herzegovina), while C. lakotai was found at the entrance of a cave nearby a road (collected under a huge stone), in Mt. Lovćen, near Kotor, S Montenegro (Reitter, 1913; Holdhaus, 1924; Jeannel, 1957; Magrini & Bulirsch, 2005). Chaetomargoreicheia species represent quite rare, stenoendemic taxa, for each of the up-to-now known species only one specimen has been collected by hand so far (Reitter, 1913; Jeannel, 1957; Magrini & Bulirsch, 2005). The fourth author of the current study investigated numerous underground and endogean high-altitude habitats in Dalmatia (Croatia) in the last few years. As a result of the exploration, he has recently collected a small sample of scaritine ground beetles from a cave in S Croatia. After thorough analysis of the sample, we have identified a new Chaetomargoreicheia species.

Agriculture at high altitudes is a challenge, especially in terms of organic vegetableproduction. In mountainous regions, most of the arable land is at high altitude,which significantly affects agricultural production, limiting the number of crops.This research was carried out in order to verify the possibility of growing a widerange of vegetables and herbs in these regions. The experimental plot (4500 m2)was formed in the village Ilovice (municipality Trnovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina),at 950 m above sea level. After the analysis of the soil fertility, the organicproduction of vegetables, some spices and medicinal herbs was designed in theopen field, without additional fertilization. Some typical Mediterranean species,such as artichoke and kale, were also planted. Some of the most importantprinciples of organic agriculture - beneficial organisms, companion crops andintercropping - were fully met in the garden. Finally, although the production onthe experimental plot took place at high altitudes, the health of plants, theappearance of fruits and the yield, confirmed the possibility of successful organicvegetable production in such regions. In addition, the experimental organic gardenin Ilovice is a place for practical education of those interested in organicagriculture. This is of great importance for conducting applied research, acquiringnew knowledge and helping producers to promote organic agricultural production,especially in less developed regions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the firststudy that carried out in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the possibility of growinga wide range of plant species, at such high altitudes, has been practically verified.

This afterword discusses some of the recent events described in this book that have continued to unfold in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The most important one is the increasing interference of Turkey’s neo-Ottoman politico-religious agenda, which clashes with localized forms of Islamic practice. The afterword takes these events as a magnifying glass for the historical and political ramifications of the book. It argues that the large-scale homogenizing projects--imperial Ottoman and national post-Ottoman, secular socialist and ethnonational postsocialist--are all embedded in the village landscape, and in the local historical imagination and consciousness. They have left behind uncanny historical traces that continue to be contested and negotiated in villagers’ aspirations, articulations, and self-conceptions of what it means to be Muslim and to live a Muslim life. The afterword thus argues that a historical-ethnographic labor documenting and tracking the persistent features and durabilities of these homogenizing political projects needs to be understood in terms of their entwinements with grassroots counter-historicities embodied in villagers’ actions, rituals, and ethical repertoires.

Summary According to the criteria applied in the EU for the rural areas, Bosnia and Herzegovina is a predominantly rural country. About three-quarters of its territory consists of rural expanses where about half the population lives. One of the biggest structural and development problems of the BiH society today is a rapid decreasing of the rural population (depopulation of villages). Population policy in rural areas should be based on appropriate economic, agricultural, regional, development and cultural policy-bit different from the previous one which squeezed young people out of the village, agriculture and other activities that are successfully developed in the rural areas of developed countries. Since the unemployment rate in Bosnia and Herzegovina climbed to an unacceptably high rate of 42,8% and that the largest number of unemployed are recruited directly or indirectly from rural areas, it is necessary to seek solutions to fully reversed process created and encouraged by many countries, especially those that want to maintain or achieve rapid economic growth.

Bjelasnica Mountain occupies a central place in the geographical area of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Due to this fact, its altitude (2067 m), it is the border between Bosnia, on the one hand, and Herzegovina, on the other, and the border between the changed mediterranean and continental climates (while Bjelasnica itself has a mountainous to alpine climate). Due to these natural inputs, Bjelasnica is a „rain and snow catcher“, and because of its geological structure (mostly limestone), it is also the largest reservoir of water in B&H. That is why Bjelasnica is considered to be the „mother of B&H“, since at its base there are springs of two of the most important rivers in B&H (Bosnia and Neretva), and on its own (plateau of Bjelasnica) a large number of springs, watercourses, permanent lakes and bars. Natural conditions have been a magnet for inhabiting the Bjelasnica plateau, from prehistory to the present. Due to its specific natural values, in a combination of favorable social environment, Bjelasnica (with Jahorina, Trebevic and the city of Sarajevo itself) hosted the 14th Winter Olympic Games (1984) and subsequently hosted several FIS-races. The Umoljani village (geographical coordinates: 43° 40' 12.81'' N, 18° 13' 41.39'' E, about 1333 meters above sea level) is located on the southern slope of Bjelasnica mountain, in a gentle plain. The village belongs to the municipality of Trnovo (it is about 16.3 km away from Trnovo by air, 23 km from Sarajevo). Due to the abundance of natural resources (water, arable land, meadows, pastures, forests), the area of the Umoljani is constantly inhabited, from prehistory to the present. The presence of people in this area is evidenced by many cultural and historical monuments: antique hillforts, medieval necropolis of tombstones (stećci), remains of a medieval church, necropolis from the ottoman conquest and one of the oldest mosques in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Until the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1991-1995), the village lived in a more or less traditional way, within its traditional physical structure. During the war the village was flooded and its population was exiled. After the war, the village was quickly rebuilt, but in the changed socio-economic circumstances, and with architectural structures that in all respects reflect modern life. It is of the importance that the katun settlement (Gradina) above the village with traditional architectural objects is preserved, as a picture of the former Umoljani village. The Umoljani village is an exemplary study of the metamorphosis of settlements (driven by the changing social environment), in the rich natural environment where they continue to live, partly in the traditional way, and partly in the modern way, that is, in the way of sustainability.
