The first records of Polydrusus (Conocetus) crinipes Germann, 2018 from southern Croatia and Albania considerably enlarge the species’ distribution towards the Northwest. The species has been previously confined to Greece and Bulgaria. The habitat at Baćinska lakes, where the species was discovered in Croatia, fits well with its ecological preferences., Prvi nalazi vrste Polydrusus (Conocetus) crinipes Germann 2018 u južnoj Hrvatskoj i Albaniji značajno povećava rasprostranjenje vrste prema sjeveru. Vrsta je dosad bila ograničena na područje Grčke i Bugarske. Stanište na Baćinskim jezerima, gdje je vrsta pronađena u Hrvatskoj, u skladu je s njenim ekološkim sklonostima.

Zanimljiva debata nedavno se razvila između Ante Miloševića i Maje Petrinec oko naizgled nevažne"vrste artefakata – polukružnih privjesaka s alkom, poput onoga pronađenog u grobu 54 s groblja Kašić- Malkinovo brdo. Tko je u pravu? Problem je puno širi od puke kronologije ovog predmeta. Milošević već dugo zastupa hipotezu o kontinuitetu lokalne populacije od kasne antike do ranoga srednjeg vijeka. Pe- trinec, pak, inzistira na kulturnom jazu između kasnoantičkih i ranosrednovjekovnih grobnih cjelina koje možemo pripisati “starohrvatskoj” kulturnoj skupini. Datirati grob 54 s Maklinovog brda u 7. stoljeće znači implicirati kako je sahranjivanje u ovom groblju započelo mnogo ranije od datuma koji se najčešće pripisuje početcima starohrvatske” kulture. U krajnjem slučaju, to također predstavlja izazov ideji o mi- graciji Hrvata u nekom trenutku oko godine 800. Kroz analizu dvadesetprvog do sada poznatog polukruž- nog privjeska s alkom, ovaj rad predlaže novi datum za datiranje ove vrste artefakata. Primjerak iz Stona je vrlo sličan nedavno otkrivenom privjesku iz Krneze, koji je povezan s alkicom za vješanje na remenu, datiranom u srednjoavarski period (630.-680.). Sličan datum potvrđuje i nalaz polukružnog privjeska s fibulom s povijenom nogom iz groba 1 iskopanog u Proseku (Albanija). Rad zaključuje kako je srednja trećina 7. stoljeća najizgledniji period za datiranje polukružnih privjesaka s alkom. Drugim riječima, ovi predmeti se ne mogu datirati niti u početak 7. stoljeća, niti u 8. stoljeće., A curious dispute has recently erupted between Ante Milošević and Maja Petrinec over an apparently insignificant category of artifacts—the semicircular pendants with open-work ornament, such as found in grave 54 of the cemetery excavated in Maklinovo Brdo, near the village of Kašić. Who then is right? At stake appears to be more than just chronology. For a long while now, Milošević has been an advocate for the continuity of the local population from Late Antiquity into the early Middle Ages. Petrinec, however, insists upon the cultural chasm separating the late antique from the earliest medieval assemblages that could be attributed to the “Old Croats.” To say that grave 54 in the Kašić-Maklinovo brdo cemetery is of a 7th-century date is to imply, therefore, that that cemetery began much earlier than the date commonly accepted for the “Old Croatian culture.” Ultimately, that also means to challenge the idea of a migration of the Croats into Croatia at some point during the 9th century. Through the examination of 21 semicircular pendants with open-work ornament known so far, this article proposes a new date for this category of artifacts. The specimen from Ston is very similar to that recently discovered in Krneza, which is associated with a belt suspension ring dated to the Middle Avar age (630-680). To a similar date points the association in grave 1 of the cemetery excavated in Prosek (Albania) of a semicircular pendant with a fibula with bent stem. The middle third of the 7th century is therefore most likely the date for the semicircular pendants with open-work ornament. In other words, those artifacts are neither of an early 7th-, nor of an 8th-century date. They are most likely of a different age - the Middle Avar age.

The authors of this paper analyze the progress made in relations with the countries surrounding Serbia - in the regions of South East Europe and the Western Balkans, and upon the formation of the new government of Serbia (27th July 2012). In this regard, they point out the improvement of bilateral relations with the countries of the so-called old neighborhood (Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, Albania and Greece), as well as the 'new' neighbors (Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia). Therefore, the authors emphasize that it is not only the continuity of the policy of improving relations in the region, but some concrete actions to advance a good-neighborly relations have been taken as well. According to the authors resolution of many accumulated problems with neighbors will result in acceleration of the process of European integration of Serbia and the rest of the Western Balkans. This will prove to be a significant benefit to citizens of all countries in this part of Europe. Serbia has thus positioned itself as a reliable regional partner for its immediate environment, as well as to the leading factors of world politics, the authors conclude. Autori u ovom radu analiziraju napredak u odnosima Srbije sa državama okruženja - Jugoistočne Evrope i Zapadnog Balkana, a nakon formiranja nove Vlade Srbije (27. jul 2012). U tom smislu oni su ukazali na unapređenje bilateralnih odnosa sa državama takozvanog starog susedstva (Mađarska, Rumunija, Bugarska i Albanija), kao i sa 'novim' susedima (Makedonija, Crna Gora, Bosna i Hercegovina i Hrvatska). Zato autori naglašavaju da se ne radi samo o kontinuitetu dosadašnje politike poboljšanja odnosa u regionu, već i da su preduzete određene konkretne aktivnosti kako bi se dobrosusedski odnosi unapredili. Regulisanje brojnih i nagomilanih problema sa susedima rezultiraće, navode autori, ubrzanjem procesa evropskih integracija Srbije, kao i ostatka Zapadnog Balkana. Od navedenog rešavanja bilateralnih pitanja značajnu korist će imati i građani svih država ovog dela Evrope. Srbija se tako, zaključuju autori, pozicionirala kao pouzdan regionalni partner za svoje neposredno okruženje, ali i vodeće faktore svetske politike.
