AB  - The International Sava River Basin Commission (ISBRC) or Sava Commission is an international organization that has been established for the purpose of the implementation of the Framework Agreement on the Sava River Basin (FASRB) to reach the following goals: establishment of an international regime of navigation on the Sava River, establishment of sustainable water management and undertaking of measures to prevent or limit hazards and hazard related consequences, including those from floods, ice hazards, droughts and accidents involving hazardous substances. In the civil security area the ISRBC activities are mostly related to the information and data exchange between the Parties, including activities aimed at creating basis for implementing the EU Floods Directive. The area of the ISRBC work primarily includes prevention and preparedness aspects of the crisis cycle management.
AB  - Međunarona komisija za sliv reke Save (The International Sava River Basin Commission - ISBRC) ili Savska komisija predstavlja međunarodnu organizaciju koja je osnovana radi sprovođenja Okvirnog sporazuma o slivu reke Save (the Framework Agreement on the Sava River Basin - FASRB) kako bi se postigli sledeći ciljevi: uspostavljanje međunarodnog režima plovidbe rekom Savom, uspostavljanje održivog upravljanja vodama i preduzimanje mera za sprečavanje opasnosti i njihovih posledica, uključujući opsnosti od poplave, leda, suše i akcidenata sa opasnim materijama. U oblasti civilne bezbednosti, aktivnosti Savske komisije uglavnom su vezane za razmenu informacija i podataka između zemalja potpisnica, uključujući i aktivnosti na stvaranju osnove za primenu Direktive EU o poplavama. Delatnost Komisije uglavnom je vezana za preventivne i pripremne aspekte kriznog menadžmenta.

AB  - The paper aims to explore the quality aspect of Disaster Preparedness and Prevention Initiative as a regional organization in South Eastern Europe (DPPI SEE) striving to enhance the overall crisis management capacity in this crisis prone region. The research is based on secondary sources analysis and in depth interviews with stakeholders. The Disaster Preparedness and Prevention Initiative for South Eastern Europe is the only regionally owned initiative in South Eastern Europe which includes 11 partner states (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Moldova, Romania, Slovenia, Serbia and Turkey) and two states with observers status (Hungary and Greece). The DPPI SEE was launched in November 2000 by the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe in order to facilitate the cooperation and coordination of the SEE countries in preventing, preparing and strengthening capabilities to respond to natural and man-made, i.e., technological, disasters. After transforming the Stability Pact for South Eastern European 2008, the DPPI SEE came under the umbrella of Regional Cooperation Council. In the same year, a Memorandum of Understanding, as the only legal basis regulating its objectives, structure and decisionmaking process, was signed by partner countries. DPPI SEE activities are on capacity building of partner countries aimed to enhance disaster preparedness and prevention through disaster management education and training courses, including organization of workshops, seminars, conferences, etc. Significant achievements have been made throughout the implementation of several regionally owned projects. Nevertheless, besides the important results that have been achieved in the work of the DPPI SEE to date, certain weaknesses and shortcomings have been demonstrated. The DPPI is now at some sort of milestone anticipating the new Memorandum of Understanding.

Managing emergency situations in Republic of Serbia: Qualitative aspect

AB  - Research within the European project of analyzing crisis management in European countries aimed, among other things, to question the qualitative dimension of new emergency management system in Serbia. In accordance with a particulary developed methodological framework, quality of this system was assessed in terms of its efficiency, effectiveness and legitimacy, based on the data gathered conducting interviews with key decision makers and secondary source analysis. The fact that the system has been in existence for only two and a half years and that it still does not work at full capacity, since it has not been completed in a normative and institutional sense, makes any attempt of serious analysis and its evaluation difficult and problematic. Nevertheless, some general remarks can be made. The system has been tested practically in the events of several natural disasters and one technological disaster. The general assessment is that, given the fact that it is not fully completed, it functioned relatively well. Recurrence of similar technological accidents like fires in night clubs, indicates the inability of the system to properly determine liability, draw lessons and translate them into standard operating policies and procedures. Procedures for determining the professional and legal accountability are complicated and take a long time so the sanctions are not effective, while due to the overall constellation of political relations political accountability is minor.
AB  - Istraživanje u okviru evropskog projekta ispitivanja kriznog menadžmenta u evropskim zemljama je, pored ostalog, imalo za cilj da ispita i kvalitativnu dimenziju novog sistema za upravljanje vanrednim situacijama u Republici Srbiji. U skladu sa posebno razvijenim metodološkim okvirom, kvalitet sistema je ispitivan kroz njegovu efikasnost, efektivnost i legitimnost, a na osnovu intervjua sa ključnim donosiocima odluka i analize sekundarnih izvora. Činjenica da novi sistem postoji tek nešto više od dve i po godine i da još uvek ne funkcioniše punim kapacitetom, budući da nije sasvim kompletiran u normativnom i institucionalnom smislu, čini svaki pokušaj njegove ozbiljne analize teškim i problematičnim. Ipak, moguće je izneti neka opšta zapažanja. Sistem je praktično testiran u nekoliko prirodnih i jednoj tehničkoj vanrednoj situaciji i po opštoj oceni je funkcionisao relativno dobro. Ponavljanje sličnih tehnoloških akcidenata, kao što su požari u noćnim klubovima, pokazuje nesposobnost sistema da na odgovarajući način adresira pitanje odgovornosti, da izvuče pouke i pretoči ih u standardne operativne procedure. Postupci utvrđivanja profesionalne i zakonske odgovornosti su spori i komplikovani, tako da sankcije nisu efektivne, dok je, usled ukupne konstelacije političkih odnosa, politička odgovornost aktera minorna.
