The aim of this article is to establish whether there are unique neighbourhood level variations in worry about criminal victimization, independent of neighbourhood composition. An additional purpose is to establish the extent to which proposed mechanisms at the individual level, prior local victimization and perceived disorder, act as mediators of a hypothesized effect of neighbourhood level disorder. This article tested a model of the effects of different predictors on individuals' levels of fear of crime in the neighbourhoods of the Kosovo capital Pristine. In this research, the authors used an interviewing method conducted in the households of the interviewees. The population consisted of the adult (18 years old and more) inhabitants of urban areas of Pristine. The sampling procedure was a multi-stage random probability method. The selection process was carried out through the following four stages defined: (1) city areas, (2) streets or parts of streets, (3) selection of a household, (4) "next birthday "selection-key. The common Neighbourhood Disorder and Safety feeling model has shown that well-developed Neighbourhood social disorder have a positive although non-significant impact on the neighbourhood fear of crime in Pristine.. This does not come as a surprise considering that the people in the post-socialist societies are traditionally more reliant on their family and friends. The above trend was somewhat strong in Kosovo, because observation shows that nearly a half of respondents from Pristine live in households with more than five members while one fifth of them live in house- holds with seven and more members. Residents of EU capitals and capitals in the former Republic of Yugoslavia have greater tendency than residents of Pristine to mention everyday crime as one of the factors that feed their fears. The most serious objection that can be raised in relation to this survey is the application of the interview as the sole data collection technique. Most certainly, the inclusion of other techniques (Focus Groups, etc.) and methods would have achieved more valid results. The limitation of the factor models is that the input variables are mainly non-Normal Likert's scales. This means that the theoretical requirements for the application of the factor model are not fully fulfilled which consecutively reduces possibility to generalize the findings of the factor models further analysis using non parametric tools are the results of the factor analysis. In order to fully generalize the findings of the factor models, further analysis using non parametric tools are necessary. The police enjoyed the highest level of trust of all public institutions, which is maybe the most important for our study because the work of police has a direct impact on citizens' sense of security. Such results could have been expected in Pristine given that the police in Kosovo are controlled by the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) operation there. Trust in the police forms is good basis for study of other factors which influence citizens' sense of security, that is, their fear of crime at a local level. Keywords: Human trafficking

Objective: Comparison of detection and determination of critical carotid stenosis between two radiological methods: color doppler ultrasound and Seldinger angiography. Methods: This is retrospective study that has included 64 patients that were hospitalized at the Clinic for Vascular surgery, Clinical Centre of University of Sarajevo, from 2006-2008.. 43 patients had carortid artery stenosis from 50-99%, all patients confirmed of having carotid stenosis greater than 60% were subjected to Seldinger angiography. Results confirming critical stenosis of both methods were compared. Degree of carotid stenosis with color doppler was determined on basis of peak systolic velocity and in the case of angiography stenosis was determined by measuring stenotic segment with milimeter tape and comparing it to diameter of normal segment. Results: according to color doppler investigation 32/43 patients had critical carotid stenosis ≥70% . In case of Seldinger angiogram ratio of positive cases was 37/43. In 86% of cases critical stenosis was confirmed by both methods. 5 angiograms showed greater degree of carotid stenosis than color doppler investigation. Out of 2 complete occlussions of internal carotid artery detected by color doppler only one was confirmed by Seldinger angiography, the other was described as stenosis of very high degree.. Discussion: Compatibility of successfull recognition of critical carotid stenosis for both methods is 86%, that figure does not deviate significantly from results pointed out by other studies where compatibility was reported to be 91%. Conclusion: Both methods should be combined in order to make sound indication for operative treatment since beside having segmental stenosis of carotid artery, imperative for carrying out succsseful operation is regular appearance of distal portion of internal carotid artery that is best visualised by one of available angiographies.

The Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 3 (MICS3) was implemented in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) during 2006 as a national survey with the primary objective to fill in the data gaps and to create the baseline to assess the status of children and women in the country. MICS3 in BiH has ensured that the countrys institutions now have information on 15 out of 48 MDG indicators as well as the data responding to the objectives set out in the World Fit for Children (WFfC) the resulting document of the 2002 UN Special Session for Children. In compliance with the complex administrative structure of the country as well as with its actual accountability for the well being and development of children and women the MICS3 in Bosnia and Herzegovina was implemented by three national partners at state and entity levels: the Directorate for Economic Planning of BiH; the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare of the RS; and the Federal Ministry of Health Federal Institute for Public Health in FBiH.
