THE RUGOVSKA CHARTER — EXAMPLE OF SELF-MANAGEMENT CONTROL OF VENDETTA IN A KOSOVO VILLAGE
No full textThis work reviews the wide use and nature of vendetta in Kosovo The
author gives particular attention to possibilities for controlling the blood-feud in
modern day.
According to tradition, the quarrelling parties were reconciliated by the
so-called plećnija (Council of wise Men), whereas in more recent times the
state government undertook this task. This articles however discusses the character
of the peace councils which, within the frame of the Socialist Federation,
work to prevent blood-feuds. As example of a document which helps prevent
blood-feuds in a controlled manner is the Rugovska Charter. All inhabitants of the
mentioned area in Kosovo have accepted the charter, promising they will not take
revenge among themselves in the future. The results achieved from this charter
have surpassed all optimistic expectations. After its adoption, not one murder as
a result of vendetta took place in this area. The peace council, using this charter
as its basis, gained recognition in controlling vendetta.
The author emphasizes the advantage of using such prevention methods,
which are based on traditional law, yet adopted to the modern selFmanagcment
system principles
Socio-Psychological Assumptions of the Vendeta of the Kosovo
No full textSome basic socio-psychological determinants of the phenomenon of the blood-feud in present days are discussed, with the special empasision Kosovo, where its incidence and consequences are most pronounced. Up to now the blood feud phenomenon has been mainly analyzed from the historical and legal point of view, and rarely from the sociological or psychological one. After discussing some definitions of criminal behavior, the paper argues in favour of socialpsychological approach which seems to be most promising for an adequate appraisal of the phenomenon.
Theoretically, it is based on relevant assumptions of Freud,s and Marx's work which account most adequately for the personality and social framework fostering the occurrence of the blood-feud. The review of the recent literature points to such socio-psychological factors as low developmental level of the region, low employment ratio — especially among women, limited educational and cultural opportunities and predominantly rural characteristics of the population. A prominent feature of this complex is the social uncertainty, especially in villages, which is manifested as the anxiety concerning future. These factors are favoring primary group solidarity (the blood-feud being one of its expression) and the revival of the ways of behavior potterned after common low principles. A certain discrepancy between the ideal and actual behavior is the most pronounced feature in modern Kosovo: blood-feud being the »retained« mode of behavior, not in accordance with the general social trends, but reflecting partially still existing low level of living conditions. The hypotheses proposed here point to a need of an intensive research project that would take into account all the factors: historical, ethnological, legal, sociological, psychological and psychiatric, and at the same time direct the necessary course of action in preventing the occurrence of blood-feud in Kosovo
"Model", a Play by Milenko Paunović
No full textРад је посвећен анализи мисаоно-филозофских аспеката драме Модел Миленка Пауновића, с циљем да се у даљој перспективи детаљно истраже и протумаче елементи битни за проучавање Пауновићеве уметничке поетике коју је остварио у свом примарном, музичком стваралаштву.Composer Milenko Paunović (1889–1924) was also a librettist of his musical plays, which he created under the influence of Richard Wagner. His creative interests first developed along these lines, which resulted in synthesis in the musical plays Divina tragoedia (1910–1912) and Čengić aga (1923). However, a significant part of his dramatic oeuvre was not conditioned by the composing plans, but by the need for the literary articulation of certain thoughts and attitudes. In that context, he wrote plays Primorci (1911), Đavolova tragedija (1912), Model (1917), Dvori Srđe Zlopogleđe (1919), and a short story Dr Vrač (1919), which are important for interpreting Paunović’s worldviews and for understanding his musical works.
In most of Paunović’s plays, the themes of loneliness and the relationship between the subject and the world, free love and current morality, instinct and reason are examined. They are presented through attitudes of individual characters, aiming at confirming, refuting, or relativizing them. The thoughts to which the author constantly returns can be summarized in the following questions: Since this world, created by humans, is not good, is there a possibility for it to be improved, can a man change, reconcile with himself, and return to nature? In the search for answers, Paunović largely turns to the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche.
This paper is dedicated to the analysis of the reflective and philosophical aspects of the play Model, to further explore and interpret in detail the elements important for the study of Paunović’s artistic poetics, which he achieved in his primary, musical works. Within this framework, different understandings of life, the world, creativity as sublimation, and the art as a sphere that promotes the pursuit of truth and self-knowledge, represented in this play by its main protagonists, are considered
Dalmatian etymologies of Constantine Porphyrogenitus
No full textCilj je rada bio okupiti dalmatinske etimologije na jednom mjestu, promotriti
njihov odnos prema ostalim etimologijama u De administrando imperio kao i
njihov međusobni odnos, njihova zajednička i posebna obilježja. Pokazalo se
da su tumačenja imena u dalmatinskim poglavljima izrazito brojnija u odnosu
na ostatak spisa. Isto tako da su ta tumačenja obuhvatila svih pet kopnenih romanskih
gradova i svih sedam slavenskih zajednica u njihovu zaleđu. To je
sustavnost kakva se ne sreće u drugim dijelovima spisa. Premda se Porfirogenetu
često pripisuje strast za etimologiziranjem, čini se da je podrijetlo
velike većine, a možda i svih tumačenja imena lokalno, dalmatinsko. To se
zaključuje na temelju mjesne inspiracije u tumačenju i na temelju jezika kojim
se tumače etimoni. Riječ je redovito o latinskom ili slavenskom. Za razliku od
prijedloga I. Đurića, da bi "romejski" uključivao oba klasična jezika, ukazuje
se na razloge po kojima se "romejski” može i, zacijelo, treba uvijek razumjeti
samo kao latinski. Osobitost je dalmatinskih etimologija učestala poraba riječi
5 i 0cA,bktoIn De administrando imperio there are over 50 etymologies, of which in
Dalmatian chapters (29-36) there are 23 etymologies, almost half, even though
those chapters take less than one sixth of the texst of De administrando imperio.
Five Roman cities and seven Slav communities are described in Dalmatian
chapters. The names of all of them are explained. Such comprehensive approach
can not be found in any other part of De administrando imperio. Appart from
them there is only the etymology of mountain pass Kleisa and river Bona.
Constantine Porphyrogenitus is often considered as the author of those
etymologies. But, judging by local inspiration and languages in which the names
are interpreted, regularly Latin or Slavic, author concludes that the majority of
the ethnologies, perhaps even all of them, are of local origin. Therefor the author
disagrees with Yugoslav byzantologist Duric, who suggests that Constantine's
Romaic language includes both - Latin and Greek. The author is convinced that
it is always Latin.
The word 8mXeKxoq meaning ‘language’ can be found 14 times in De
administrando imperio, of which 11 times in Dalmatian etymologies. Obviously
it has to be the manner of Constantine's assistant expressing who rote Dalmatian
chapters. The same can be said for the verb épprjvebeuai ‘it means’, which
usually appears in Dalmatian etymologies, unlike other etymologies, where other
synonimic expressions appear as well
The res judicata rule in jurisdictional decisions of the international Court of justice
No full textThe author discusses the effects of the res judicata rule as regards jurisdictional decisions of the International Court of Justice. He finds that there exists a special position of a judgment on preliminary objection in respect to both aspects of the res judicata rule - its binding force and finality. A perception of distinct relativity of a jurisdictional decision of the Court, expressing its interlocatory character pervades, in his opinion, the body of law regulating the Court's activity. Preliminary objections as such do not exhaust objections to the jurisdiction of the Court, as evidenced by non-preliminary objections to the jurisdiction of the Court giving rise to the application of the principle compétence de la compétence understood in the narrow sense. With regard to the binding force of a judgment on preliminary objections, it does not create legal obligations stricto sensu. The author finds that the relative character of jurisdictional decisions of the Court as compared with a judgment on the merits is justified on a number of grounds
Relationship between the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in respect of the adjudication of genocide
No full textBy opting for the approach based on the dichotomy of individual criminal responsibility for the act of genocide and the responsibility of the State in both the Bosnian and Croatian Genocide cases, the International Court of Justice enabled the establishment of a jurisprudential connection with the judgments of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. After outlining the reasons for adopting such an approach, which are classified as both positive and negative, the author offers an extensive analysis of the differences between the ICJ and ICTY, stressing the necessity to take these differences into account when considering the interconnection between the 'World Court' and the ICTY as a specialized tribunal. The paper focuses on the need for a balanced and critical approach to the jurisprudence of the ICTY as regards genocide, by differentiating between the Tribunal s factual and legal findings. The author insists that a substantive criterion, not a formal one, must be applied with a view to the proper assessment of the factual findings of the Tribunal in accordance with the standards of judicial reasoning of the ICJ. As regards the treatment of the ICTY's legal findings which relate to genocide, it is stressed that their uncritical acceptance would compromise the determination of the relevant rules of the Genocide Convention by the Court. Namely, the law applied by the ICTY as regards the crime of genocide is not equivalent to the relevant law established by the Convention and may be understood as its progressive development rather than its application
TWO INSCRIPTIONS FROM BOKA KOTORSKA WITH THE NAME OF BISHOP JOHN
No full textU kotorskom natpisu autor predlaže popravke dosadašnjih čitanja, ponajprije Kovačevićeva, čime se vraća usklađenost godine s indikcijom; interpretacija time dobiva na uvjerljivosti.
Na dosad nerazumljivu početku natpisa iz Bijele vidi mogućnost prepoznavanja carske titule, a vjerojatno i imena samog cara, Nikefora I. Oba se natpisa na taj način međusobno podupiru i potvrđuju shvaćanje da se doista radi o istom, kako izgleda, vrlo poduzetnom biskupu s početka 9. stoljeća.The author proposes revisions in the extant readings of the inscription from Boka Kotorska, especially the one proposed by Kovačević, which will restore the synchrony of the year with the indiction; in such a manner the interpretation gains in persuasiveness.
At the beginning of the, up to now incomprehensible, inscription from Bijela the author sees the possibility of recognizing the title of an emperor and probably the name of the emperor himself, Nikefor I.
In such a manner both inscriptions mutually corroborate themselves and confirm theopinion that we are dealing with the same, as it appears, very industrious bishop from the beginning of the 9th
century
Effect of temperature on a free energy and equilibrium constants during dry flue gas desulphurisation chemical reactions
No full textDuring dry flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) dry particles of reagents are inserted (injected) in the stream of flue gas, where they bond SO2. As reagents, the most often are used compounds of calcium (CaCO3, CaO or Ca(OH)2). Knowledge of free energy and equilibrium constants of chemical reactions during dry FGD is necessary for understanding of influence of flue gas temperature to course of these chemical reactions as well as to SO2 bonding from flue gases
