UDK 502.3:551.583(497.6) Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2000 and Kyoto protocol in 2008. Although a Non-Annex I Party (developing country) to UNFCCC, but with its goals to EU accession, efforts have been made to set up appropriate guidelines, institutional and legal framework to meet the Convention commitments. Nevertheless, the political arena of BiH within the climate change context is still affected by the complexity of its administrative setup, lack of state level legislation, absence of coordination and inter- sectoral cooperation as well as inadequate enforcement mechanisms. Based on the social movement theory and the concept of advocacy coalition framework, the research results collected through a detailed analysis of media reports and questionnaire-based survey findings (based on the guidance of the COMPON project) explain the setbacks and describe the possibilities of social mobilization, formation of coalitions in the framing of climate change aspects as well as their influence within the wider milieu of the national policy discourse. The lack of information sharing and limited awareness among stakeholders has resulted in low social mobilization exercised around the issue, hence creating a perfect setting for a delay on progress in terms of clear climate change policies, adaptation and mitigation programs along with strategies for capacity building in the domain. Evermore, it keeps the domestic political institutions clinging to status quo, while current extent of activation of the society and networks to tackle the problem and have an effect on national policy processes remains fragile.

Private forest owners start to play an important role in Western Balkans' forestry and they are essential to the successful implementation of environmental policies. Little is known about how forest policy can support private forest owners in these countries and therefore this study was conducted through a qualitative method, based on personal interviews with representatives of 54 stakeholders that include state forest authorities and administration, private forest owners associations, forest science and research and private sector in Bosnia Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia. The results show significant homogeneity across the region towards the creation of independent interest forest owners associations based on financial support. Regression analysis identified stakeholder attitudes as significant predictors of policy preferences and also identified owners of production forests as more supportive of such policies.

Radi specificnih drustveno-politickih i socio- ekonomskih prilika u regiji, problematika udruživanja privatnih sumoposjednika u interesne udruge do sada nije bila predmetom sireg istraživanja. Na osnovi navedenoga 2008. godine pokrenuto je istraživanje stanja privatnog sumoposjeda i formiranja udruga privatnih sumoposjednika u zemljama regije, u kojima se povijesno razvijao podjednak model vlasnistva. U radu su analizirani stavovi privatnih sumoposjednika prema međusobnoj suradnji i udruživanju u cilju boljeg gospodarenja svojim posjedom, sa posebnim naglaskom na izgradnju sumskih cesta u Hrvatskoj, Srbiji i Bosni i Hercegovini. Provedeno istraživanje ukazuje spremnost privatnih sumoposjednika na suradnju u aktivnostima gospodarenja sumoposjedom, te ukazuje na željene usluge koje bi trebale pružiti udruge privatnih sumoposjednika.

Background and Purpose: The forest related conflicts has not been very often used as a research topic in Croatia. This paper presents results from two case studies conducted in Nature Parks »Kopa~ki rit« and »Velebit«. The aim of the study was to explore conflicts between forestry and nature protection on management level. The main research questions were raised: (a) What causes conflicts?; (b)What are the attitudes of conflict actors towards conflicts as a phenomenon and towards other conflict parties?; (c) What was undertaken to manage conflicts and was it successful? and (d) How the conflicts and CM influence forest policy development process? Material and Methods: Data was collected by conducting in-depth resulting in 27 interviews in total. The interviewees were managers in CF, NPs and representatives of NGOs active in the respective areas. Theoretical framework was combination of Progressive Triangle with three main aspects of conflicts: substance, relation and procedure (3) embedded in structure of four main elements: culture, conflicts, conflicts management and policy development (10). Results and Conclusion: Primary parties in conflicts are NPs and CF. Interviewees named mostly problems with legislation, performance of forest management activities within protected areas and lack of proper communication as possible conflict causes. Main conclusion is that differing attitudes towards forestry and nature protection as well as education as elements of cultural background probably influence conflict occurrence, CM and policy development. There is no sound CM strategy or significant policy development.

UDK 630*6/.8(497.6) U ovom radu je izvršena analiza prihoda koji se ostvaruju u šumarstvu Federacije BiH po šumarskim preduzećima, te analiza strukture troškova koji se javljaju u poslovanju preduzeća. S obzirom da se prihodi preduzeća uglavnom baziraju na realizovanim drvnim sortimentima, odlučujuću ulogu u njihovom formiranju ima, pored cijena šumskih drvnih sortimenata i kvalitetna struktura etata. Cilj ove analize jeste da se ukaže na različite mogućnosti sticanja prihoda kao posljedice različitih uslova privređivanja preduzeća. Pored toga, struktura troškova je različita po pojedinim preduzećima zbog različite zastupljenosti materijalno-tehničkih i ljudskih resursa. Struktura cijene proizvodnje proizvoda šumarstva izrazito varira između preduzeća, što se neminovno odražava na njihovu rentabilnost, a takođe i na njihovu akumulativnu i reproduktivnu sposobnost. Iz toga proizilazi i ekonomska mogućnost realizacije potrebnih investicionih ulaganja, a prije svega bioloških investicija. Ranije analize pokazuje da se obim bioloških investicija usklađuje sa raspoloživim finansijskim mogućnostima preduzeća, a ne prema realnim potrebama u konkretnim situacijama (DELIĆ, 2008). To bi moglo dovesti do narušavanja principa održivosti, kao osnovnog principa gospodarenja šumskim resursima.
