Systematic research of the ornithofauna of the Natural Monument "Lalinačka slatina" salt marsh has not been conducted so far, and data on some species of salt marsh birds are given only in the ...conservation study of this area. The first systematic surveys of ornithofauna were conducted in the period 2020-2021 with an emphasis on the nesting period of most species. The collected data were combined with data from the conservation study and indicated the presence of 72 bird species from 24 families and 12 orders. Migratory statuses have shown that the area is dominated by nesting birds, as many as 42 species have been recorded, as well as 24 species of strays, 5 species of wintering birds and 1 passer-by. Most of the bird species found in the "Lalinačka slatina" area are included in the various national and international lists, and are important considering the aspect of protection since they are endangered and rare.
U radu autor s aspekta povijesti institucija obrađuje ustroj i djelovanje Dioničarskog društva vicinalne željeznice Szt. Lörincz-Slatina-Našice u periodu od godine 1894., kada je društvo osnovano sa ...sjedištem u Budimpešti, pa sve do godine 1948., kada je tadašnja aktualna vlast i formalno-pravno legalizirala nacionalizaciju privatnih privrednih poduzeća. Dio pruga na području Kraljevine Hrvatske i Slavonije nalazio se u potpunosti u Virovitičkoj županiji. U Kraljevini Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca društvo je premjestilo svoje sjedište u Beograd. Poslove dioničarskog društva obavljali su glavna skupština dioničara, ravnateljstvo i nadzorni odbor. Pruge društva bile su u državnoj eksploataciji, odnosno upravi. Društvo je u Austro-Ugarskoj Monarhiji poslovalo s financijskim dobitkom.
In the paper the author outlines from the aspect of the history of institutions the structure and the activity of the Szt. Lörincz-Slatina-Našice Vicinal Railway Ltd. in the timeframe from its establishment in 1894, the buying off of the railway tracks in its ownership by the state in 1938, the transfer of ownership of bought railway tracks in the Central cadastral book of railways and canals to the State in 1939, ending with 1948 when the government of the time formally legalised the nationalisation of private economic companies. The following railways made the company’s railway network: Baranya-Szent-Lörincz-Baranya Sellye put in service on 21 May 1895, Baranya Sellye-Našice put in service on 23 December 1895, and the branch
line Noskovci-Drava riverbank put in service on 9 July 1901. The stock company’s railway lines directly connected the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia with Hungary, which enabled the faster flow of goods and wares in both directions. The part of the railway line in the territory of the
Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia was completely in the Virovitica County. As with most vicinal railways, the company’s headquarters was in
Budapest, and in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes it was transferred to Belgrade. The stock company’s tasks were performed by: the stockholders’ general assembly, headquarters and the inspecting committee. The company’s railway lines were exploited i.e. administrated
by the state. During the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy the company’s railway lines were exploited by the Traffic Administration of the Royal Hungarian State Railways in Zagreb, whereas after the establishment of the Traffic Administration in Pecs they came under the latter’s jurisdiction. In the Kingdom of Serb, Croats and Slovenes/Yugoslavia the
company’s railway lines were exploited by the Directorate of the State Railways in Zagreb. Because of the company’s capital of 10,199.200 crowns and being solvent it can be concluded that the stock company represented a respectable and successful private vicinal railway.
Halomorphic (or saline) soils, are characterized by high concentrations of soluble salts or sodium, or both. Saline soils have unfavorable agricultural properties but provide the natural habitats for ...a variety of highly specialized plants, animals, and other organisms. It is these special interactions that create the typical landscape of saline soils, known as “slatina”. The aim of this study is to assess and evaluate the geotouristic potential of six of the most attractive slatina sites in the Vojvodina region, Northern Serbia: Jegrička, Slano Kopovo, Rusanda, Okanj, Pečena slatina, and Pašnjaci Velike Droplje. Overall, all analyzed sites have significant tourism potential, based on both natural and tourist values. In addition to the tourism potentials, analyzed sites have high value as a natural endemic ecosystem inhabited with highly specialized plants and birds.

prijepis programskog teksta istaknutog pripadnika Demokratske stranke
slavonsko-srijemskog prostora, odvjetnika i (kako se tada govorilo) kraljevskog
javnog bilježnika u Slatini Zdravka ...Kovačevića. U njemu se iznose razmišljanja
o ključnom unutarnjem političkom problemu Kraljevine Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca,
nezadovoljstvu Hrvata novonastalim stanjem, s posebnim naglaskom na ideologiju
jugoslavenskog unitarizma. Protkana su (zbog slabe očuvanosti stranačkog i
drugog arhivskog gradiva) vrijednim (i u historiografiji uglavnom zanemarenim)
osobnim iskustvima koja je Kovačević imao u prvim godinama političkog
djelovanja u novoj državi. Dokument je popraćen temeljnim podatcima o samom
Kovačeviću i kraćom analizom teksta, kao i motivima kojima je potaknut te
reakcijama na nj.
The authors have provided a copy of the party programme of the lawyer and, as he was referred to at the time, royal notary Zdravko Kovačević in Slatina, a distinguished member of the Democratic Party in the Slavonian-Syrmian area. The text provides reflections on the crucial inner political issue of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, the discontent of the Croats with the new conditions, with special emphasis on the ideology of Yugoslav unitarism. They are (due to the poor state of preservation of party political and other archival records) interwoven with Kovačević’s valuable (but mostly disregarded in historiography) personal experience during the first years of his political activities in the new state. The document also provides basic information about Kovačević as well as a brief analysis of the text, his
motives and the reactions to it.
This study focuses on the mineralogical and thermal properties of clay from “Slatina” deposit, Ub, Serbia. Sampled clays were analysed by XRD, IR spectroscopy, ICP-OES, DTA, specific surface area ...(SSA), cationic exchange capacity (CEC), gravimetric and grain size measurements. Results show that the studied samples have a medium content of smectite-illite minerals with smaller amount of kaolinite together with quartz, feldspars and goethite. They consist generally of fine particles with medium to high plasticity. Based on their mineral composition and physical properties (grain size, plasticity, CEC) the clays are suitable as raw material for the ceramics industry.
Cardamine parviflora L. was discovered in April 2014 during the study of vascular flora and habitats in the area of Slatina (Slavonia region). It was found in a flooded forest of narrow-leaved ash, ...in the vicinity of the villages Medinci and Novi Senkovac. The species here grows in wet soil but partially submerged populations were also observed. It presents a new species of the Croatian flora and expands the floristic inventory of Slatina and its surroundings. Other valuable taxa have also been recorded in the area, such as Carex riparia Curtis and Ophioglossum vulgatum L.
The recharge of a karst aquifer, in terms of its quantity and spatial distribution, depends on various natural factors such as climate, topography, vegetation, soil, and geology. Selection of an ...adequate method for assessing recharge in karst is often a matter of dispute. Multi-parameter methods using Geographical information systems tools have recently been successfully developed and applied in karstic terrains of Spain and Lebanon. Specific local conditions such as highly karstified terrains could additionally complicate such an assessment. The Montenegro karstified terrains in the southern part of the External Dinarides are characterized by a very high precipitation rate, irregular seasonal distribution, and absence of surface waters (extremely high infiltration capacity of karst). Considering such conditions, an attempt to apply existing knowledge and experiences to the development of an appropriate multi-parameter method for assessing spatial distribution of autogenous recharge has been made. The KARSTLOP method has been developed, applied, and calibrated at catchments of several large karst springs of Montenegro. Obtained results in tested catchment areas confirm that with some further improvements the KARSTLOP method could be a useful tool to support research of karstic aquifers in similar highly karstified terrains.
