Kosovo Ap Human Geography

     The mountainous nature of the country causes considerable climatic differences from one place to another. The Dalmatian coast has a typical Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. The Mid-Danube Plain has a continental climate with cold winters, hot summers, and moderate precipitation. The mountain regions have on the whole colder and shorter summers and more severe winters compared with other regions.

The Balkan Peninsula is a region located in southern Europe. The northern dividing line of the Balkan Peninsula consists of the Kupa, Sava, and Danube rivers. This region is surrounded by the Black Sea to the east, the Mediterranean and Marmara Seas to the south, and the Adriatic Sea to the west. Examples of physical features in the Balkan Peninsula are the many forested mountain ranges that occupy the region, including the Balkan Mountains, the Dinaric Alps, and the Rhodope Mountains, the varied climate ranging from cold, snowy winters in the northern mountains, to a warm, humid climate characteristic of the Mediterranean, as well as fertile soil, especially in the plains, and diverse plants and wildlife throughout the region, such as the endangered Balkan lynx. Some examples of human characteristics that make this region unique

There is three different systems used in economics. These system show how the population in these areas act and go along with day to day activities. Different areas around the world have different traditions and lifestyles. Other area are told what they can and con not have in their everyday life as a command economy. The other on third is depicted as being the economy that runs free as the buy and trade goods to form a market economy.

The Battle of Kosovo created a myth that added to Serbian nationalism in three major ways. First, it became part of the calendar of the nation. Not only did June 28 mark the battle of Kosovo, but also the day that the Bosnian Serb student, Gavrilo Princip, assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand beginning WWI. This date was and is indispensible in Serbian culture and identity. Second, it created a claim to Kosovo by establishing the idea that Kosovo was a key part of the medieval Serbian kingdom. By drawing a linkage to Kosovo before the Ottoman conquest the Serbs were able to make a case that they were the rightful inheritors of the region. Third, it drew a connection between contemporary Serbia and the Serbs of the Middle Ages through linkages between common religion and a common struggle against an ostensibly oppressive force (Bieber 2002: 96). The

The Balkans is a famous region of Europe, in which people called the ‘powder keg of Europe.’ With this name, I believe it is justified. This is a mountainous peninsula in Southeast Europe. There were a variety of ethnic groups living and striving in the Balkans. But, most of the Balkans was made up of the Ottoman Empire.

In bosnia they have like a completely different culture, religion, environment. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a different country? Bosnia is a pretty interesting country to say the least. Bosnia is located on the balkan peninsula in southeastern europe. This is like completely across the world from america. It is always great to learn about new cultures and religion.

Albanians are protesting for independence, based on the region's autonomy under Marshal Tito. A Series of Serbian attacks on ethnic Albanians in Yugoslavia's Kosovo province brought swift economic retaliation from five Western powers. Such ancient history would appear to be just that were it not for the fact that Kosovo is the Judea and Samaria of Serbia. Religious passions are a major factor in Serbia's desire to control Kosovo. To maintain control over a majority Albanian population, Milosevic has established a police state. That indifference is gone following a series of brutal raids on Kosovo villages which the Serbs said were carried out in retaliation for acts of "terrorism and secession" by ethnic Albanians. Until the emergence of the KLA and its revolutionary talk of a "liberated territory," the major leader among Albanians in Kosovo was Ibrahim Rugova, a moderate who heads the Democratic League and who is the head of Kosovo's "shadow government." This danger of an expanded war, coupled with the brutality of the recent Serbian police attacks, has prompted Western leaders to move more quickly against Milosevic than they did in 1991. In a 1993 report, Jeremy J. Stone, traveling for the Federation of American Scientists, suggested four options in the Kosovo situation: a partitioning with a special concern to keep the 14th-century battle sites and

Bulgaria is a relatively small country but it contains a wide diversity of folk dance styles. I believe this is the main reason why Bulgarian dances are so popular among international folk dancers. Bulgaria is located in south-eastern Europe and surrounded by Romania, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece and Turkey. First, we will have a brief introduction of Bulgaria and its folklore regions, then will introduce some folk instruments and describe each folklore region one by one.

The country of Kosovo and its citizens have suffered from wars, exploitation, and destruction. Thus, as a consequence Kosovo is considered as a country which has the poorest economy in the region. However, lately there has been some considerable progress, even though from a low base. Kosovo has demonstrated progress in the creation of the foundations of a market economy. After the conflict of 1990s, most of Kosovo’s economic growth is related to post-conflict reconstruction. However, fifteen years after the liberation Kosovo still faces some major problems: its economy cannot meet the requests of the labor supply, it does not have an export-friendly economy, nor the needed infrastructure to attract foreign direct investment (FDI). Thus, as

The country, Croatia, is where the focused group is located. Croatia is located in southeastern central Europe, and has a population of over four million. Croatia wasn’t considered an independent country until 1991. It was under control by different powers throughout history including “the Hungarians, the Turks, and the Austro-Hungarian Hapsburg dynasty” (“Croats”). Croatia was a part of groupings when having an upper ruling, and this was part of Croatia’s history before becoming an independent country because of the Croats; people that settled in the region that eventually became Croatia. They were part of the nation Yugoslavia which were a monarchy and then a communist country. Another group

The country of Croatia is a fairly new country in relation to its development and it is currently blossoming into a developed country with high economic standards. Croatia is located in both the Northern and Eastern hemispheres in Southeast Europe. The countries of Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Slovenia, as well as the Adriatic Sea border it. According to the 2011 census, the population of Croatia is 4,284,889. The largest concentration of the population, eighteen percent, lives in the capital city of Zagreb. The lowest population density is in rural areas and parts of the country with poor transport communications, such as the

Officially, the country is known as the Republic of Poland with Warsaw as its capital city. Despite having frequent changes of government since its independence from Russia, Poland continues to have a stable democracy from Russia (11). Its government is made up of three branches; executive, judicial and legislative and the country adopted a civil law legal system.

The declaratory principle of statehood is the theory that statehood is ascribed automatically once the entity meets the elements of statehood. The Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States contains "the most widely accepted formulation of the criteria of statehood in international law.” Article 1 of the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of State states that: “The state as a person of international law should possess the following qualifications: a ) a permanent population; b) a defined territory; c ) government; and d) capacity to enter into relations with the other states.”

The population of the territory is albeanian almost 90% the rest are turks and serbian. Looking at the picture below shows that ethnic composition in Kosova.

The case presented was in response to the independent declaration of liberation by the government of Kosovo. A demand for an advisory opinion was requested from the International Court of Justice (ICJ). In order to provide this advisory opinion, it should be determined if the International Court of Justice has the jurisdiction in the case being presented. Even though the leading paragraph of Article 96 allows for an advisory opinion to be requested when it comes to “any legal question, the ICJ has sometimes in the past given certain indications as to the relationship between the question which is the subject of a request for an advisory opinion and the activities of the General Assembly” (Advisory Opinion p. 14). They took into
