Also available in:
In March 1999, an escalation of civil unrest in the Kosovo Province of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which had been prevalent in some areas of the Province already since March 1998, led to a large scale exodus of refugees into neighbouring countries, and the internal displacement of the majority of the remaining population. By early June 1999, about 750 000 refugees had fled the Province to neighbouring countries, 150 000 people had been displaced to other parts of Serbia and Montenegro, a nd 600 000 people were displaced from their homes but remained in hiding within the Province. Events rapidly turned around after 10 June when a Military Technical Agreement was reached between the Government of the FRY and NATO, allowing the first Kosovo Force (KFOR) peace-keeping troop deployments into the Province to begin. UN humanitarian workers and convoys of relief supplies entered Kosovo shortly after. The turn of events in Kosovo inspired large-scale spontaneous returns of refugees beginning 14 June. In the first two weeks of this spontaneous return, over 415 000 Kosovo refugees returned by their own means and others through arranging buses from their camps. By late July, the total number of refugees who had returned to the Province stood at about 700 000. -

Also available in:
An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) (excluding the UN Administered Province of Kosovo) between 21 June and 7 July 2000. In view of the adverse agro-meteorological conditions in 1999/2000 which exacerbated the economic difficulties, the aim of the Mission was to conduct a thorough examination of the information about the expected production of wheat, appraise first-hand the standing foodcrops, forecast the 2000 harvest and assess the current and prospective food supply situation at the national level. Throughout its work, the Mission received assistance from the government, the Economics Institute, the Yugoslav Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the International Rescue Committee, and all UN agencies present. During its stay, the Mission made field visits to the Vojvodina, (Pancevo, Novi Sad, Stara Pazova, Zrenjanin, Kikinda, Kovacica, Konak, Mokrin, Jasatomic, Sid), and Central Serbia (Kraljevo valley, Kragujevac, Cuprija, Nis, Pirot, Zajecar, Vranje, Leskovac), visiting 40 out of the 160 municipalities in Serbia. These visits enabled the Mission to observe fields and talk with large and small scale farmers in different geographical, economic and organizational settings. Information on the harvest outlook in Montenegro, where cereal production is not significant, was obtained from in-country project staff. The agricultural sector in the country has been generally in decline since the early 1990's, but the 199 9/2000 cropping year was particularly difficult. Man-made and natural disasters, (sanctions, bomb damage, floods, water logging and drought), shortages of inputs, particularly fertilizer, but also fuel, and low prices have combined to reduce average yields. The yields of winter and spring cereals as well as fodder and industrial crops are expected to be lower than in 1999. -
No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Technical reportFAO/WFP CROP AND FOOD SUPPLY ASSESSMENT MISSION TO SERBIA (FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA) - 8 August 2001 2001
Also available in:
An FAO/WFP Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission visited Serbia between 17 June and 30 June 2001 to: (i) assess prospects for crop production in 2001; (ii) review the overall food supply situation and prospects at the national level and (iii) determine the needs for food assistance during the marketing year 2001/2002. The Mission's findings are based on crop data provided by the Institute of Statistics, Belgrade, cross-checked against updated information from Chambers of Commerce, Agricultural , Water and Meteorological Institutes, NGOs and UN Agencies. Field visits through 45 municipalities in Vojvodina and Central Serbia afforded the opportunity for crop inspections, sample crop-cutting and detailed semi-structured interviews with key informants including farmers in the private and social sectors, managers of co-operatives, millers, traders, combine drivers and agricultural extension workers. Discussions with Serbian agricultural and economic specialists provided essential backgroun d on the current socio-economic situation and the effects of isolation, sanctions and the NATO intervention.

No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Training materialPlanning in government forest agencies how to balance forest use and conservation: agenda for training workshop. 1998
Also available in:
No results found.The purpose of planning for forestry development is to establish a workable framework for forest use and conservation which incorporates the economic, social and environmental dimensions on a sustainable basis. The framework is about creating a shared vision of how forests will be used and protected. This can be summed up in a single central question: Trees and forests for whom and for what? The question is not new but what is new is the perception that so many different groups have an interest in the reply. Forestry planning has traditionally been mainly concerned with the production of timber for industry and other wood products, and with forest industry development. Planning for environmental goals also has a long history but was largely restricted to designated areas for exclusive conservation. National forestry development agencies were essentially responsible for the sustained yield management on protected public forest lands and for reserved forests. The term "sustained yield " was mostly limited to wood production and therefore excluded the majority of other forest products and services. Although most forestry agencies have made progress towards multiple-use management, planning remains often biased towards timber in a wide range of countries. Many of the actions taken in order to stimulate forestry development in the immediate failed to sustain the momentum of growth in the longer term. Short term achievements sometimes resulted in degradation or destruction of the stock of natural capital needed in order to maintain growth in the future or reduced options for future end uses by degrading the forest capital.
