The city of Hvar is a unique fusion of luxurious Mediterranean nature, rich cultural and historical heritage, and mundane, tourist present.


Grad Hvar jedinstven je spoj raskošne mediteranske prirode, bogate i slojevite kulturno-povijesne baštine, te mondene turističke suvremenosti.


It is situated in picturesque nature, facing the southern, side of the world that has given it all Mediterranean attraction and cheerfulness; facing sea, that gave it splendid and repeatable history, Hvar is an inexhaustible treasury of the scenery, atmosphere and adventure.


Smješten u slikovitom prirodnom okružju, okrenut južnoj, sunčanoj strani svijeta, koja mu je podarila svu mediteransku privlačnost i vedrinu, okrenut moru koje mu je uzvratilo sjajnom i neponovljivom povjesnicom, Hvar je neiscrpna riznica prizora, ugođaja i avantura.


Its name derives from the Greek name for island and town, that stood where today Stari Grad (Hvar became an island’s centre in 13th century) stands - PHAROS.


Ime mu dolazi od riječi PHAROS - grčkog naziva za otok Hvar i grad koji se nekoć nalazio na mjestu današnjeg Starog Grada (a od kojega je Hvar u 13. st. preuzeo naslov otočkog središta).


Hvar gained glory and power during middle ages being an important port within the Venetian, naval empire.


Slavu i moć Hvar je stekao tijekom srednjeg vijeka kao važna luka u okviru mletačkoga pomorskog imperija.


Today, it is centre of island’s tourism and one of the favourite destinations in Dalmatian riviera - a town of smiling and courteous people, who are almost only dedicated to tourism.


Danas je pak turističko središte otoka i jedno od najomiljenijih turističkih odredišta dalmatinske rivijere - gradić nasmijanih i ljubaznih žitelja gotovo u potpunosti predanih turizmu.


Summary: Further research of the range of normal specimens has been made and the upper boundary of the range, which separates the stable specimens from the unstable ones, is defined more closely.


Sažetak: Izvršeno je daljnje istraživanje područja normalnih uzoraka svježeg betona i preciznije definirana gornja granica područja koja djeli stabilne uzorke od nestabilnih.


For the first time the right part of the range, which presents the lean specimens, has been investigated in more detail.


Po prvi put je detaljnije istražen desni kraj područja, koji predstavlja mršave uzorke.


The specimen of maximum concentration of aggregate, which characterizes such a samples, has been defined.


Definiran je uzorak maksimalne koncentracije agregata, koji karakterizira takve uzorke.


The influence of type and greding of the aggregate and cement on the shape and position of the entire range of normal specimens has been also investigated.


Istražen je i utjecaj vrste i granulometrijskog sastava cementa i agregata na oblik i položaj cijelog područja normalnih uzoraka.


On the basis of statistical evaluation of test results, mathematical expressions and diagrams, which define the relationship between composition and slump of stable fresh concrete specimens, are developed.


Statističkom obradom rezultata ispitivanja razvijeni su matematički izrazi i dijagrami koji definiraju odnos između sastava i slijeganja stabilnih uzoraka svježeg betona.


The most important contribution of this research is the analysis of the influence of stability of the specimens on their behavior.


Najvažniji znanstveni doprinos ovog istraživanja je analiza utjecaja stabilnosti uzoraka na njihovo ponašanje.


At the stable specimens, the value of slump depends on the relationship of aggregate and paste concentrations.


Kod stabilnih uzoraka, veličina slijeganja zavisi o međusobnom odnosu koncentracije agregata i paste.


Greater slump is obtained primarily by the increase of volumetric concentration of the paste.


Veće slijeganje postiže se prvenstveno povećanjem volumne koncentracije paste.


With the increase of concentration of water only, the stability of the specimen is impaired simultaneously.


Samo povećanjem volumne koncentracije vode istodobno s povećanjem slijeganja pogoršava se stabilnost uzorka.


Keywords: Bulk model, workability, bleeding, stability of specimen, stability boundary, unstable specimen.


Ključne riječi: Prostorni model uzorka, obradivost, izlučivanje vode, stabilnost uzorka, granica stabilnosti, nestabilan uzorak.

Paris is the department 75.


Sam Pariz je departman 75.


Paris itself consists of 20 arrondismants.


Pariz se sastoji od 20 arondismana (okruga).


Louvre is located in the first arrondismant, while the others continue spirally around the first in clockwise direction.


U prvom se arondismanu nalazi Louvre a ostali se nastavljaju spiralno u smjeru kazaljke na satu (nešto kao puževa kućica).


A smaller number of the arrondismant means that it's located closer to the centre of Paris.


Dakle čim je manji broj arondismana, to je on bliže centru.


France also owns DOM/TOM - DOM are the oversea departments (Martinique, Guadeloupe, Réunion) while TOM are oversea territories (France Polynesia, New Caledonia...). 2.2 million inhabitants live in Paris, while in Paris with neighborhoods (departments 92, 93, 94) there are about 10 million inhabitants.

Paris has two big international airports, Charles de Gaulle and Orly.


Pariz ima dva velika međunarodna aerodroma, Charles de Gaulle i Orly.

Charles de Gaulle (CDG, popularno zvan Roissy, po obližnjem mjestu) se nalazi 23 km sjeverno od Pariza.


From CDG one gets to the centre of Paris by RER (suburb railroad).


Od CDG-a se do centra Pariza dolazi RER-om (prigradskom željeznicom).


Free airport bus ("navette") connects various terminals of CDG. Navette also stops at the RER station on the airport, from where RER line B goes to the centre of Paris (Châtlet station).


Među terminalima CDG-a vozi besplatni autobus ("navette"). Tim se autobusom dolazi do stanice RER-a na aerodromu, odakle linija B RER-a vozi do centra Pariza (stanica Châtlet).


When boarding the RER from Paris to the airport one has to take into account that not all line B trains go to the airport.


Prilikom ukrcaja na RER u smjeru Pariz-aerodrom treba voditi računa da sve linije B ne idu na aerodrom.


On CDG there is a local bus station too (close to the RER station), but using these buses is usually a bit too complicated for tourists.


Na CDG-u postoji i lokalna autobusna stanica (odmah blizu stanice RER-a), ali korištenje ovih autobusa nije najpraktičnije rješenje za turiste.


In front of the terminals there are taxis waiting.


Pred terminalima se nalaze stanice taksija.

The best way to travel among cities in France is by train (not by bus like in some other countries).


Međugradski promet se u Francuskoj ne odvija autobusom (kao u Hrvatskoj) već vlakom.


There are several train stations in Paris: Gare St. Lazare, Gare du Nord, Gare de l'Est, Gare d'Austerlitz, Gare Montparnasse. From each of these stations trains serve a specific part of France.


U Parizu postoji nekoliko željezničkih stanica (Gare St. Lazare, Gare du Nord, Gare de l'Est, Gare d'Austerlitz, Gare Montparnasse), svaka od kojih poslužuje željeznički promet prema jednom od dijelova Francuske.

Metro is the underground (in some segments it runs above the ground) train that covers the whole Paris.


Metro je podzemna (u nekim segmentima i nadzemna) željeznica i pokriva cijeli Pariz.


It has 14 lines, each marked with a particular number and color.

When changing between lines 6 and 12 it's wise to use the Pasteur station than Montparnasse station because at Montparnasse there are in reality two metro stations connected with a long underground tunnel.


Prilikom presjedanja između linija 6 i 12 koristiti stanicu Pasteur a ne Montparnasse, jer na Montparnasse-u zapravo postoje dvije stanice metroa povezane dugačkim tunelom.

Inside Paris, the same tickets are used for metro and RER. Unlike metro, RER operates in various zones (concentric circles around the centre of Paris), tickets for higher zones being more expensive.


Unutar grada Pariza koriste se iste karte za metro i RER. Za razliku od metroa, RER i autobusi prometuju u više zona (koncentrični krugovi oko centra Pariza) te su karte za više zone proporcionalno skuplje.


Tourists mostly use RER to get to the airports and to Versailles.


Turisti koriste RER uglavnom za vožnju do aerodroma i Versaja.


Paris (including the suburbs) is covered with a dense grid of bus lines.


Pariz (uključujući i predgrađa) je pokriven gustom mrežom autobusnih linija, ali je snalaženje s autobusima turistima dosta teško (iako na stanicama autobusa postoje mape s ucrtanim lokalnim linijama).


Although there is a map of local bus lines on bus stations, tourists often find it difficult to use buses in Paris.


Po noći voze posebne autobusne linije (prometuju dosta rjeđe od dnevnih i imaju drugačije rute).


All taxies in Paris have a "Taxi Parisien" sign in the roof, along with three lamps - A, B, C. These lamps are lit while a taxi is transporting passengers, denoting the tariff a taxi is currently applying (A being the cheapest).


Svi taksiji imaju na krovu oznaku "Taxi Parisien" i tri lampice - A, B, C. Ove lampice svjetle dok taksiji prevoze putnike, označavajući trenutno primjenjenu tarifu vožnje (A je najjeftinija).

He also stressed the importance of regional cooperation and interest of Croatia to assist countries in the region in their accession to Euro-Atlantic integrations, and as example MOD State Secretary mentioned yesterday's visit of Minister Vukelic to Montenegro, where during the meeting with Minister Vucinic, they talked on Croatian experiences related to its accession to NATO, as well as on Croatian support in preparations and participation of the Armed Forces of Montenegro in NATO peace support operations.


Državni tajnik Šimunović zahvalio se generalu McCollu na potpori koju ju Zapovjedništvo dalo na u integraciji RH u NATO savez, istaknuvši spremnost i otvorenost za daljnu punu suradnju sa Zapovjedništvom. Također, naglasio je važnost regionalne suradnje i interes RH pomoći zemljama u regiji u njihovu pristupanju euroatlanskim integracijama, a kao primjer naveo je jučerašnji posjet ministra Vukelića Crnoj Gori, gdje je u susretu sa ministrom Vučinićem, između ostalog, bilo i riječi o iskustvima RH vezanim za pristupanje u NATO savez, kao i potpori RH u pripremama i sudjelovanju oružanih snaga Crne Gore u NATO mirovnim operacijama.


During his official visit to Croatia, General McColl also met Chief of General Staff General Josip Lucic, where they discussed the participation of the Croatian Armed Forces in peace support operations and on force generation (ISAF, KFOR).


Tijekom službenog posjeta RH general McColl se susreo i sa načelnikom GS OS RG, generalom zbora Josipom Lucićem, a razgovaralo se o sudjelovanju Oružanih snaga RH u mirovnim vojnim operacijama te generiranju snaga ( ISAF, KFOR ).

Croatian troops have trained for some time now for the largest NATO military operation against the Taliban since allied soldiers entered Afghanistan territory.


Pripadnici hrvatskih oružanih snaga već se neko vrijeme osposobljavaju za izvođenje najveće vojne operacije NATO-a protiv talibana od trenutka kad su saveznički vojnici stupili na afganistanski teritorij.


The operation will be launched in the first half of 2011 and Croatian soldiers in NATO forces will lead the assault of the 209th corps of the Afghan army, Nacional has learned from military diplomatic sources.


Operacija će biti pokrenuta u prvoj polovini 2011., a pripadnici Hrvatske vojske u sklopu NATO-ovih snaga predvodit će u napadu afganistanske snage iz sastava 209. korpusa Afganistanske vojske, doznao je Nacional iz vojnodiplomatskih izvora.


It is expected that some 200 Croatian soldiers will be directly involved in combat operations, while the remainder of the Croatian contingent will be responsible for securing key national institutions, military bases, and military and civilian officials across Afghanistan.


Očekuje se da bi približno 200 hrvatskih vojnika bilo izravno uključeno u borbena djelovanja, dok bi ostatak hrvatskog kontingenta bio zadužen za osiguranje najvažnijih državnih institucija, vojnih baza, vojnih i civilnih dužnosnika diljem Afganistana.


This major military operation, with airborne support, is to be carried out in parallel in the south, east and north of the country.


Velika vojna operacija uz potporu borbenog zrakoplovstva odvijala bi se usporedo na jugu, istoku i sjeveru države.


The success of the operation will depend above all on whether the allies will succeed in making a sufficient number of Afghan troops and police combat ready and prepared to control an area after it has been seized.


Uspjeh operacije prije svega će ovisiti o tome hoće li saveznici do proljeća osposobiti dovoljan broj afganistanskih vojnika i policajaca koji bi nakon zauzimanja određenog područja mogli kontrolirati osvojeni teritorij.


If security is not firmly established in the territory gained there will not be conditions for normal life, says Nacional's source in the military diplomacy.


Bez uspostave čvrste sigurnosti na osvojenom području neće biti uvjeta za normalan život, rekao je Nacionalov izvor iz vojnodiplomatskih krugova.


A large number of Croatian NCOs are already in Germany in the frame of preparations for the operation, where they are training at the Bann military training grounds in calling allied combat aircraft and guiding them to targets on the ground.


U sklopu pripreme operacije veći broj hrvatskih dočasnika već se nalazi u Njemačkoj, gdje se na vojnom vježbalištu Bann obučavaju u pozivanju savezničkih borbenih zrakoplova i navođenju na ciljeve na zemlji.


This will be particularly important if the Afghan force with its Croatian instructors come across stronger resistance or well fortified positions.


To će biti osobito važno ako afganistanska vojska s hrvatskim instruktorima naiđe na jači otpor ili dobro utvrđene položaje.


Every platoon should have an NCO on the route it is deployed to who will call on and guide allied aircraft to targets on the ground, i.e., depending on the target, seek a strike using a certain type of bomb.


Svaki vod na svom bi pravcu djelovanja trebao imati dočasnika koji će pozivati i navoditi savezničke zrakoplove na ciljeve na zemlji, odnosno, ovisno o cilju, tražiti udar određenom vrstom bombe.


AND, AS NACIONAL's source points out, the purpose of the training of these NCOs will be to, through precise targeting from the ground, reduce civilian casualties, which could be significant because of the scale of the operation in the spring.


TAKOĐER, ISTIČE Nacionalov izvor, svrha obuke tih dočasnika bit će da preciznim navođenjem sa zemlje smanje civilne žrtve koje bi mogle biti velike zbog opsega operacije na proljeće.


Proof that something is in the works is that, at the request of the Americans, Croatia in mid September sent a team of ten advisors from the Croatian Air Force to Afghanistan, which has joined the NATO command for NATC flight training. This is the first Croatian unit that has joined the NATC command.


Da se nešto sprema, dokazuje i to što je na zahtjev američke strane Hrvatska sredinom rujna u Afganistan poslala tim od deset savjetnika iz Hrvatskog ratnog zrakoplovstva koji se pridružio NATOovu zapovjedništvu za letačke treninge NATC. To je prva hrvatska postrojba koja se pridružuje komandi NATC-a.


The Croatian air force team of mentors will advise and train Afghan air forces in the maintenance and operational flight of the Mi-17 helicopter.


Hrvatski zračni mentorski tim savjetovat će i podučavati afganistanske zračne snage u održavanju i operativnim letovima helikoptera Mi-17.


The Croatian air force team of mentors in Afghanistan consists of two complete Mi-17 helicopter crews and a technical maintenance team.


Hrvatski zračni mentorski tim u Afganistanu sastoji se od dviju kompletnih posada helikoptera Mi-17 i tehničkog tima za održavanje.


The plan is to increase the Croatian team from 10 to 19 members by May 2011.


Plan je da se do svibnja 2011. hrvatski tim poveća s 10 na 19 članova.


This Croatian Air Force "mentorship" obligation in the frame of the ISAF mission in Afghanistan implies a two-year participation in the mission with rotations every four months.


Ta “mentorska” obveza HRZ-a u sklopu misije ISAF u Afganistanu podrazumijeva dvogodišnje sudjelovanje uz misije s rotacijom svaka četiri mjeseca.


THE TEAM WILL BE DIVIDED into two groups, one of which will train the helicopter service staff, and the second the presidential air squadron.


TIM ĆE BITI RAZDIJELJEN u dvije skupine, jedna će podučavati servisno osoblje helikoptera, a druga predsjedničku eskadrilu.


This is, of course, a story for the public that is only partly true.


Naravno, ovo je priča za javnost koja je djelomice točna.


The fact of the matter is that Croatian pilots will fly, together with their Afghan colleagues, on combat missions transporting equipment and troops when the time comes.


Istina je da će hrvatski piloti zajedno s afganistanskima letjeti u borbenim misijama transporta opreme i vojnika kad za to dođe vrijeme.


In late 2009, Nacional was the first to report on the deployment of an additional 50 Croatian soldiers to Afghanistan in 2010.


Tako je potkraj 2009. Nacional prvi objavio informaciju o slanju dodatnih 50 hrvatskih vojnika u Afganistan tijekom 2010.


The information from the Croatian Defence Ministry was, however, that there were no plans to increase the number of troops deployed to international peace missions in 2010, and therefore there would be no increase in the Croatian contingent to the ISAF mission in Afghanistan.


Međutim, iz MORH-a je stigla informacija da u 2010. nije planirano povećanje broja vojnika u međunarodnim mirovnim misijama iduće godine, pa tako ni povećanje kontingenta hrvatskih snaga u misiji ISAF u Afganistanu.


At the Defence Ministry they said that the Croatian mission in Afghanistan would remain within the frame of 300 personnel, which is no longer accurate, as there are close to 350, as Nacional reported.


U MORH-u su tvrdili da će hrvatska misija u Afganistanu ostati unutar okvira od 300 pripadnika, što više nije točno, jer ih je približno 350, što je tvrdio Nacional.


This only goes to show that the situation on the ground is very dynamic - requirements change from month to month, deciding on the strength of military contingents in national parliaments is counterproductive, slow and simply no way to lead a war in Afghanistan.


To samo pokazuje da je situacija na terenu vrlo dinamična, zahtjevi se mijenjaju iz mjeseca u mjesec, odlučivanje o snazi vojnih kontingenata u nacionalnim parlamentima je kontraproduktivno, sporo i tako se jednostavno ne može voditi rat u Afganistanu.


In preparation for the major military operation in the spring of 2011 the Americans have this year donated not only military hardware, but also 7 million dollars to the Croatian side.


U pripremama za veliku vojnu operaciju na proljeće 2011. Amerikanci su hrvatskoj strani ove godine donirali ne samo vojnu opremu nego i 7 milijuna dolara.


This money has gone to pay for military equipment and training in locating explosive devices on roadways.


Tim novcem plaćene su vojna oprema i obuka za otkrivanje eksplozivnih naprava uz prometnice.


A further seven Humvee type vehicles arrived in Croatia this summer to be used in the training of Croatian soldiers ahead of their departure to Afghanistan.


Ljetos je u Hrvatsku pristiglo još sedam vozila tipa Humvee radi obuke hrvatskih vojnika prije odlaska u Afganistan.


What is bizarre, however, is that the Croatian Army cannot accept all US donations as there are insufficient funds in the Croatian military budget to cover the customs costs and, to make the shame all the greater, the Americans are not only donating the resources to the Croatian Army, but they are also paying the costs of passing the donations through customs, Nacional has learned.


Međutim, bizarno je da Hrvatska vojska ne može prihvatiti sve američke donacije, jer u hrvatskom vojnom proračunu nema novca ni za carinske troškove, pa, da sramota bude veća, Amerikanci ne samo da doniraju sredstva Hrvatskoj vojsci, nego i plaćaju troškove carinjenja donacije, doznaje Nacional.


THE PENTAGON HAD ALREADY GRANTED Croatian soldiers thirty Humvee vehicles in 2009.


PENTAGON JE HRVATSKIM vojnicima u Afganistanu već 2009. darovao trideset vozila Humvee.


Furthermore, Croatian troops in Afghanistan are transported by the US C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft, again free of charge.


Nadalje, hrvatske vojnike u Afganistan prevoze američki transportni zrakoplovi C-17 Globemaster, ponovo besplatno.


The Croatian military contingent does not at all have to adjust to the schedule of the transport of some other contingents for Afghanistan, because a C-17 from Ramstein in Germany comes to Pleso airfield in Zagreb for the express purpose of picking up Croatian troops and their equipment and transporting them to Afghanistan.


Hrvatski vojni kontingenti uopće se ne trebaju vremenski prilagođavati transportu nekih drugih kontingenata za Afganistan, jer C-17 iz Ramsteina u Njemačkoj dolazi na Pleso isključivo kako bi pokupio hrvatske vojnike i njihovu opremu te ih prevezao u Afganistan.


It all shows that the US does not expect of the Croatian Army that it will be no more than an observer of events within military bases and a backup reserve for "God forbid" situations, but that it has a very active role in the upcoming military operations.


Sve to pokazuje da SAD ne očekuje od Hrvatske vojske da bude puki promatrač zbivanja unutar vojnih baza i pričuva za “ne daj bože”, nego da ima vrlo aktivnu ulogu u predstojećim vojnim operacijama.


THERE HAS BEEN DISCUSSION of late on the moment of a possible withdrawal of Croatian troops from Afghanistan, but judging by what we have been told off the record at the Defence Ministry this will not happen soon, probably not before 2012, when the British have announced they would pull out.


U POSLJEDNJE SE vrijeme raspravljalo o trenutku mogućeg povlačenja hrvatskih vojnika iz Afganistana, no sudeći po tome što su nam neslužbeno rekli u MORH-u, do toga neće uskoro doći, vjerojatno ne prije 2012., kako su najavili Britanci.


The strategy of the international community and the allies in the frame of NATO in Afghanistan, and as such also of Croatia, is linked to the achievement of the fundamental goals, and these are above all the establishment of a functioning and self-sustaining Afghanistan state, whose government is capable of running the country and making it secure, i.e. a state that will not serve as a testing ground for the creation of a number of security threats such as, above all, international terrorism.


Strategija međunarodne zajednice i saveznika u sklopu NATO-a u Afganistanu, pa tako i Republike Hrvatske, povezana je s ostvarenjem temeljnih ciljeva, a to su prije svega uspostava funkcionirajuće i samoodržive afganistanske države, čija je vlast sposobna vladati zemljom i učiniti je sigurnom, odnosno države koja neće biti poligon za stvaranje niza sigurnosnih ugroza, poput, prije svega, međunarodnog terorizma.


ONE OF THE key measures is establishing and training the security sector, the Afghan army and police.


JEDNO OD najvažnijih mjerila je i uspostava i obuka sigurnosnog sektora, afganistanske vojske i policije.


If 2012 is the deadline for the withdrawal of allied forces from Afghanistan, it is quite clear that 2011 will be a watershed year in which the Taliban should be forced by a military operation of broad scale to negotiate or be significantly weakened and divided, and at the same time Afghan security forces need to be strengthened so that they can themselves assume responsibility for stability in the country.


Ako je 2012. rok kad treba početi povlačenje savezničkih snaga iz Afganistana, posve je jasno da će 2011. biti prijelomna godina u kojoj bi talibane vojnom operacijom širokih razmjera trebalo prisiliti na pregovore ili znatno oslabiti i razjediniti, a u isto vrijeme ojačati afganistanske snage sigurnosti da same preuzmu odgovornost za stabilnost zemlje.


Parallel to the start of the major military operation, which should involve the participation of Croatian troops and which should also mark the start of economic recovery and reconstruction in this impoverished country, a Croatian economic delegation headed by the president of the Croatian Chamber of Economy Nadan Vidosevic travelled to Afghanistan two months ago to open the institution's first office outside of Europe in the capital of Kabul. The business delegation, made up of the representatives of eleven companies, met over a two-day period with the representatives of the Afghan ministries of the economy, energy, defence, interior and with representatives of the Afghan chamber of commerce and industry.


Usporedo s početkom priprema za veliku vojnu operaciju, u kojoj će sudjelovati i hrvatski vojnici i koja bi trebala označiti i oporavak gospodarstva te obnovu u toj siromašnoj zemlji, prije dva mjeseca hrvatska gospodarska delegacija na čelu s predsjednikom Hrvatske gospodarske komore Nadanom Vidoševićem doputovala je u Afganistan kako bi u glavnom gradu Kabulu otvorila prvo izvaneuropsko predstavništvo HGK. Gospodarska delegacija koju su činili predstavnici jedanaest tvrtki u dva se dana sastala s predstavnicima afganistanskih ministarstava gospodarstva, energetike, obrane, unutarnjih poslova te s predstavnicima Afganistanske trgovinske i industrijske komore.


Croatia is as of late one of only six countries with a licence to access all tenders in the country, held up to now only by the USA, Canada, Pakistan, Russia and India.


Hrvatska je odnedavno među samo šest država s licencijom za pristup svim natječajima u toj zemlji, a dosad su je imali samo SAD, Kanada, Pakistan, Rusija i Indija.


The interest of Croatian business people and the establishment of an office of the Croatian Chamber of Economy in Kabul at precisely this moment is not entirely by chance, but rather well coordinated with the imminent development of the situation in Afghanistan, when more favourable conditions for investment are expected.


Interes hrvatskih gospodarstvenika i osnivanje ureda HGK u Kabulu baš sada nije sasvim slučajno nego dobro koordinirano sa skorim razvojem situacije u Afganistanu, kad se očekuju povoljniji uvjeti za ulaganja.


In fact, the major operation that is to follow in 2011 is nothing more than the next phase of Obama's strategy, on which US General David Petraeus has had a major influence.


Zapravo, velika operacija koja će uslijediti 2011. nije ništa drugo nego sljedeća faza Obamine strategije na koju je veliki utjecaj imao američki general David Petraeus.


Two years ago General Petraeus convinced then US President George W. Bush to launch the "Surge," sending many additional soldiers into Iraq in order to sort out the situation and allow for the withdrawal of these and other US soldiers in Iraq.


Prije dvije godine general Petraeus nagovorio je ondašnjeg američkog predsjednika Georgea W. Busha da pokrene tzv. Plimu, da u Irak pošalje mnogo dodatnih vojnika, kako bi sredio situaciju i omogućio povlačenje tih, ali i drugih američkih vojnika u Iraku.


US President Barack Obama is now going into Afghanistan with an almost identical strategy.


Američki predsjednik Barack Obama sada ide u Afganistan s gotovo identičnom strategijom.


Formally, he has heeded the request of the commander of US forces in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, who has sought significant reinforcement, and has in fact copied the Petraeus plan in Iraq, which succeeded brilliantly there.


Formalno je poslušao zahtjev zapovjednika američkih snaga u Afganistanu generala Stanleyja McChrystala, koji je tražio znatne nove snage, a zapravo je kopiran Petraeusov plan iz Iraka, koji je ondje odlično uspio.


Obama has approved for Afghanistan the same thing that Bush approved in Iraq, that there be a significant increase in the number of US troops with the aim of settling the situation, defeating the Taliban, and then to leave maintaining security to forces loyal to the Afghan authorities, which need to be strengthened in the meantime so that US troops could withdraw.


Obama je odobrio u Afganistanu ono isto što je Bush odobrio u Iraku, da se broj američkih vojnika bitno poveća, kako bi se smirila situacija, porazili talibani, a potom održavanje sigurnosti prepustilo snagama lojalnim afganistanskoj vlasti, koje moraju u međuvremenu ojačati kako bi se američki vojnici mogli povući.


WHAT IS IMPORTANT in this context is Obama's promise that the withdrawal of international forces from Afghanistan would start in 2011, and that his intention is not an extended presence of US and NATO troops in the country.


VAŽNO JE U TOM kontekstu i Obamino obećanje da će povlačenje međunarodnih snaga iz Afganistana početi 2011. te kako njegova namjera nije dugo ostajanje američkih vojnika i vojnika NATO-a u toj zemlji.


The majority of NATO member states send troops that will operate in the frame of equipping and training programmes for the Afghan army, while a smaller number of countries will send their soldiers to also conduct security missions.


Većina zemalja članica NATO-a šalje vojnike koji će djelovati unutar programa opremanja i osposobljavanja afganistanske vojske, dok će manji broj zemalja slati svoje vojnike da obavljaju i sigurnosne poslove.


Only a few countries are ready to send combat units to Afghanistan to participate in operations against the Taliban to the south and east of the country.


Samo nekoliko zemalja spremno je poslati u Afganistan borbene postrojbe koje će sudjelovati u operacijama protiv talibana na jugu i istoku zemlje.


But given the scale of the future military operation and the fact that some NATO units will assume individual combat missions from US troops, and be stationed in sensitive and unstable regions, it is to be expected that many of them will see action, even though they have not been sent to Afghanistan with this primary mission.


No s obzirom na opseg buduće vojne operacije i činjenicu da će neke postrojbe NATO-a preuzimati pojedine borbene zadaće od američkih vojnika, te biti stacionirane ipak na osjetljivim i nemirnim područjima, može se očekivati da će ih veći broj doći u borbena iskušenja, iako u Afganistan nisu poslani s tom primarnom zadaćom.


And that is precisely what will happen with the members of the Croatian military contingent, and intensive US aid in equipping and training in 2009 has been very welcome in order to ensure that Croatian soldiers have as few losses as possible during a major military operation.


Upravo to dogodit će se i s pripadnicima hrvatskog vojnog kontingenta, pa je intenzivna američka pomoć u opremanju i obuci 2009. itekako dobrodošla kako bi hrvatski vojnici u svojim redovima tijekom velike vojne operacije imali što manje gubitaka.


Croatian Government is seriously considering the possibility of seeking financial aid from international financial institutions, above all from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), over the coming three weeks in order to avoid a financial collapse in the coming year.


Vlada Republike Hrvatske ozbiljno razmatra mogućnost da u naredna tri tjednau zatražit novčanu pomoć od međunarodnih financijskih institucija, prije svega od Međunarodnog monetarnog fonda (MMF), kako bi u sljedećoj godini izbjegla financijski kolaps.


This information was confirmed for Nacional by several sources from international financial circles, who are well in the know when it comes to the work of the finance ministry and the Croatian National Bank (CNB).


Tu informaciju Nacionalu je potvrdilo nekoliko izvora iz međunarodnih financijskih krugova, koji su dobro upućeni u rad Ministarstva financija i Hrvatske narodne banke (HNB).


They say that Government and the CNB will turn to the IMF for assistance at the latest by the time the 2009 state budget is adopted, undergoing hurried, and almost secretive, preparations these days at the finance ministry.


Prema njima, Vlada i HNB obratit će se MMF-u za pomoć najkasnije do usvajanja državnog proračuna za 2009. godinu, na kojem se ovih dana gotovo u tajnosti užurbano radi u Ministarstvu financija.


The budget should be in Parliament for debate on 15 November, and Government will have an IMF guarantee by then.


Proračun bi se trebao naći na raspravi u Saboru 15. studenoga a do tada će Vlada imati garancije MMF-a.


How the budget will look is known for the moment only by those who are working on it.


Kako će državni budžet izgledati zasad znaju samo oni koji rade na njemu.


But, based on what economy minister Damir Polancec told a conference entitled "Who Will Survive, And Who Will Fail" Monday, the nation's key financial document could be a very restrictive one.


No, prema izjavi ministra godpodarstva Damira Polančeca, izrečenoj u ponedjeljak na konferenciji pod nazivom “Tko će opstati, a tko propasti”, najvažniji državni financijski dokument mogao bi biti vrlo restriktivan.


Polancec's ministry has, namely, earmarked 147 million kuna less for next year than it did for this year.


Naime, Polančecovu ministarstvu za iduću je godinu namijenjeno 147 milijuna kuna manje nego ove godine.


It is quite clear now that the global financial crisis has poured over into Croatia and that our country is the next victim of the banking collapse that started recently in the United States of America, which has resulted in a global paralysis in the flow of international capital, and will, unavoidably, wind up in a recession and economic crisis on all Western countries.


Sada je potpuno jasno da se globalna financijska kriza prelila na Hrvatsku te da je naša zemlja sljedeća žrtva bankarskog kolapsa, koji je nedavno započeo u Sjedinjenim Državama, što je rezultiralo globalnom paralizom protoka međunarodnog kapitala, a neizbježno će završiti recesijom i gospodarskom krizom u svim zemljama Zapada.


The chief reason for turning to the IMF for help, with which Croatia has worked for years on the basis of stand-by arrangements, is in fact the inability to get credit to service the foreign debt, which will soon come due.


Glavni razlog obraćanja za pomoć MMF-u, s kojim je Hrvatska godinama surađivala temeljem stand by aranžmana, upravo je nemogućnost dobivanja kredita kako bi se servisirao dio vanjskog duga, koji uskoro stiže na naplatu.


In the coming year the state and the economy will have to return 10.8 billion euros of various loans, received in previous years from abroad.


U sljedećoj godini država i gospodarstvo morat će vratiti 10,8 milijardi eura raznih kredita dobivenih prethodnih godina u inozemstvu.


Of that the state itself owes international financial institutions 5 billion euros.


Od toga samo država međunarodnim financijskim institucijama duguje 5 milijardi eura.


Experts feel that, with the forecast economic growth of only 2 percent in the coming year, Government and the private sector will be hard pressed just to pay the interest.


Stručnjaci smatraju da će uz predviđeni rast gospodarstva od samo 2 posto u sljedećoj godini Vlada i gospodarski subjekti jedva moći plaćati kamate.


It has happened in the past that a large sum of the principal has come due for payment by the state, but in previous years that problem was dealt with simply by reprogramming the debt, because it was relatively easy to come by capital on international markets.


I ranije se dešavalo da državi na naplatu u kratkom razdoblju stigne velik iznos glavnice, ali prethodnih se godina taj problem rješavao reprogramiranjem dugova jer je do kapitala na međunarodnom tržištu bilo relativno lako doći.


The situation has changed over the past two months and it is impossible to get new loans at the old prices.


Situacija se u posljednja dva mjeseca promijenila i nove kredite nemoguće je dobiti po starim cijenama.


Those in the known say that the accumulated debt and the cost of the administration has the national treasury splitting at its seams, and that finance minister Ivan Suker is currently experiencing the worst quarter to date in his two mandates at the post.


Upućeni tvrde da zbog nagomilanih dugova i troškova administracije državna riznica puca po šavovima a ministar financija Ivan Šuker trenutačno proživljava najteži kvartal u svoja dva dosadašnja mandata.


At issue is not only the payment of debts to creditors, but also regular monthly payments to beneficiaries of the national budget.


U pitanju nije samo otplata duga kreditorima, već i redovita mjesečna isplata korisnika državnog proračuna.


Every month, Minister Suker has to put aside 1.1 billion kuna for pensions, and a further 1.8 billion kuna for salaries financed from the national budget.


Ministar Šuker svaki mjesec mora za mirovine izdvojiti 1,1 milijardu kuna, a za plaće koje se financiraju iz državnog budžeta 1,8 milijardi kuna.


There has even been information that the national budget is being patched up by simply taking part of the annual budget funds earmarked for various Government agencies, key to their functioning and the payment of wages.


Pojavile su se čak informacije da se državni budžet krpa na način da se raznim vladinim agencijama naprasno oduzima dio njihova godišnjeg budžeta, koji je nužan za funkcioniranje i isplatu plaća zaposlenima.


The toughest issue the finance ministry is now facing is how the state will pay off a billion euro of foreign debt in the circumstances of a financial crisis, coming up for payment over the coming three to four months.


Najteže pitanje s kojim se Ministarstvo financija suočava posljednjih dana jest kako će država u okolnostima financijske krize otplatiti milijardu eura inozemnog duga, koji na naplatu stiže u iduća tri do četiri mjeseca.


By the end of the year Croatia has to pay off bonds worth 200 million euro in total.


Do kraja godine Hrvatska mora otplatiti obveznice ukupne vrijednosti oko 200 milijuna eura.


By February of next year another 500 million euro of bonds come due, and after that the state will have to pay off 200 million euro of the co-called Samurai bonds.


U veljači sljedeće godine na naplatu stiže obveznica vrijedna 500 milijuna eura, a nakon toga država će morati otplatiti tzv. samuraj obveznice vrijedne 200 milijuna eura.


One of the solutions mentioned in financial circles is the possibility of issuing new bonds in the first half of next year, on the domestic market, in combination with direct bank loans, but it is an open question as to whether domestic banks have the strength to follow the state's lead in circumstances of rampant illiquidity.


U financijskim krugovima kao rješenje spominjana je mogućnost izdavanja novih obveznica u prvoj polovini sljedeće godine i to na domaćem tržištu, u kombinaciji s izravnim bankarskim kreditom, no pitanje je imaju li domaće banke u okolnostima velike nelikvidnosti dovoljno financijske snage da prate državu.
