According to Church doctrine, just »solidary globalization« will avoid the making of a new cultural slavery, which seems to be much more worse than this we had before. In that slavery, the poor would be deprived of that what is the most valuable they got, their own culture and freedom. Therefore, the Church, while clearly stressing the need for »globalization of solidarity«, warns on the perils of culture's homologization and on ethical values which should not be given up of. Considering the phenomenon of globalization, the Church stays faithful to its ethical and religious mission in the world, but also, it remains attentive observer of universal and historical events, so it could judge and evaluate them in the light of Gospel and the truth of human. It could, and should not stay »impartial« when it comes to people and their culture on which their own political stances are based. Therefore, the Church warns on perils of neo-liberal culture, which inspires globalization.

Love is one of those great forces that breathe the life into to the Decameron: it constitutes a central theme of its many novellas and is the moving force of their various characters. Seen from a layman's and mundane perspective, it is a force which stems from nature and as such is viewed by Boccaccio as intrinsically healthy and positive, which makes futile all attempts to prevent or destroy it. Furthermore, it is a sin to deny it, which can cause suffering and death. In Decameron, love is present in different forms: it can be a source of ennoblement, courtly guiding individuals towards a greater sensibility and sublimity of soul. Additionally, it can produce comical situations central to the novellas based on ridicule and deception. However, it can also be the root cause of tragic and pathetic affairs. This paper purports to provide a more precise discussion concerning the concept of love in Decameron, drawing a parallel between it and the medieval concept of love and making a comparison between Boccaccio and Dante.

After the European Community-European Union peace plans for Bosnia and Herzegovina had failed, the United States decided to seriously deal with the B-H issue and try to bring the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina to an end, thus insuring a lasting peace. The first successful move made by the Clinton administration was to stop the conflict between the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the HVO, and to prevent the Croatian aggression against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In this context, under U.S. patronage lasting from 1 March to 18 March 1994, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina was established when the agreements which ended the Croatian aggression on BiH and established Croatian-Bosniak federation were signed. President of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Alija Izetbegovic and Croatian President, Franjo Tudjman, were the Washington Agreement signatories, as well as Silajdžić and Zubak. The Washington Agreement is not an ideal solution, however in the timeframe and circumstances of its negotiating during which the decomposition and disintegration of Bosnia and Herzegovina was active and the directions in which Bosnia and Herzegovina had been taking by previous negotiations, it proved to be a good solution, since it shifted the international negotiations towards preserving the unitary and integral Bosnia and Herzegovina. It served as the first positive move in order to bring Bosnia and Herzegovina to the lasting peace which has been achieved through the Dayton Peace Agreement.

The importance and complexity of identifying and defining human groups under protection when there is ongoing the criminal justice procedure with the purpose of determining the crime of genocide, is emphasized in this paper. The paper also treats other aspects of protected human groups, as it represents one crucial and specific determinants of that kind of crime. In this paper the author dealt with the international judiciary’s practices whose work has largely eliminated indistinctions concerning the crudely and vaguely prescribes issues in the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG). For illustration of his standpoint, the author uses several vital examples that enable clear comprehension, understanding and interpretation of protected human groups. Different approaches referring to the identification and defining of protected human groups, as well as the critical reviewing of limitations of the concept of genocide in line with restrictively prescribed conditions are also structured through the paper.

Bosnia and Herzegovina has millennial existence. Bosnia was first mentioned in the second half of the tenth century in the work of the Byzantine emperor and author Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos “De Administrando Imperio“. As of 29 August 1189, the Charter of Kulin Ban bears undisputed evidence of Bosnia’s independence. During the reign of Tvrtko I Kotromanic in 1377, Bosnia was developed into the kingdom and became the most powerful country in the Balkans. The Ottoman power in Bosnia was established in 1463, however Bosnia retained certain features of political identification, first as the Province of Bosnia starting in 1580, afterwards as the Bosnian Vilayet since 1865, and receiving the position state of Corpus separatum under the Austro-Hungarian control. In the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, until 1929 the borders of Bosnia and Herzegovina were observed with regard to the country’s internal regionalization. The statehood of Bosnia and Herzegovina, within the new Yugoslav Federation, was restored at the 1st Session of the State Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ZAVNOBiH) which had been taking place in Mrkonjic Grad on 25 November 1943. The aftermath of the Yugoslav crisis which had peaked in 1991 and 1992 was disintegration of Yugoslavia, and peoples and citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina voted for B&H’s independence at the referendum of 29 February and 1 March 1992. Key players of the irredentist Greater Serbian politics refused to accept such solution for Bosnia and Herzegovina, so the Aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina had been launched which, after three and a half years, was ended by painful compromises contained in the Dayton Peace Accords.

Although applied to a work of fiction, this analysis shows that language is frequently used to express (asymmetrical) power relations. Such relations are even more pronounced in formal contexts, where some speakers enjoy a societally assigned power, which, in turn, does not imply that societally subordinated interlocutors do not have the possibility of acquiring the discourse power. This is indeed possible even in highly formalized settings – such as royal courts – recognized for their strict observance of hierarchy in all areas, including language. This leads to a conclusion that there are different types of power and that domination of one of them is primarily influenced by the actual circumstances of a particular verbal interaction.

The article reefers to a more precisely dating of churches from fortress towns from Eastern Moldavia, which were under ottoman occupation. The method which has been chosen for dating churches is that of comparative architecture, (the structural numbering model) which is recognized as a creation principle of a multitude known by works. The model’s formula contains the buildings proportions; these were the elements which constituted the calculation basis of the master constructor. With the help of this model we demonstrated that churches from fortress towns of Eastern Moldavia have been build in 14th and 15th centuries. On the basis of these results we can state that Chilia town has been build on the left side of the Danube in a previous period of building the fortress of Ştefan cel Mare. We have also proved that Cetatea Albă town had already existed in the 14th and 15th centuries, being placed at 300-400 m downstream by the fortified promontory. In the 14th century the episcopal church has been built here, which is specific to balcano-danubian region.

The 19th and 20th centuries were decisive for the development of the towns from the South Banat (the Mountainous Banat). The factors that determined their evolution on diverse plans starting from the architectural and urbanity ones and going to that of centre of influence for the limitary zones or that of formation of the urban mentality among its more numerous inhabitants were numerous: the border organisation of the area and its dissolution later, the mining exploitations of the area and the development of certain industries, the increase and, then, the diversification of the transport networks, the growth of the population through migrations (especially from the Central European areas), the accelerated industrialisation and its retrogression towards the end of the period of reference. Moreover, the permanent dialogue of the Orthodox and Catholic churches, but also that of the Evangelic one, the educational role of these institutions in the family life, in the school, health and cultural development, their help for the social aid granted to individuals or to other communities are remarkable. The Orthodox Church, in majority in the area, had a distinctive role during the achievement of the Great Union of 1918, but through a permanent dialogue also in the period between the two wars. The communism instauration poisonously affected both churches. After the fall of the totalitarianism their social and cultural role in the religious education was redefined. The analysis of these problems is made through references to the towns of Baziaş, Băile Herculane, Moldova Nouă and Orşova, places having an evolution, but also a decline, determined from case to case, by different own particularities.
