"Босански човек не гази по земљи него по слојевима изумрлих култура. Он у своју колибу узиђује камен из римског храма, а своје двориште прекрива плочама некадашњих друмова... Запустели градови по бреговима пунили су се стравичним звуцима ветрова и огртали косама дивљег зеленила. Успомену на њихове господаре, босанске краљеве и властелу, затирала су мучна времена заједно са околним становништвом које је могло да чува традицију. И тако је народ те замкове све више насељавао и све их више уплитао у приче, изазване чудесним и страшним изгледом рушевина, а не сећањем на њихове некадашње становнике. Тако се гасила успомена на стару средњовековну Босну..."

Thinking about what to write about Brno, a city in the south of the Czech Republic, which this year I visited twice, I realized that whatever I write will not be enough to express what I felt when I researched and learned about the history and qualities of Brno. Every student of architecture, and even those who have not studied architecture, but they had "really lucky" to know someone who has studied, can say that the first association that comes in your head when someone mentions Brno, is Tugendhat Villa of German architect and one of the founders and leaders of modern Europe, Mies van der Rohe ...

Odavno sam nešto obećao, ima tome evo već godina i nešto, i evo došlo je vreme da obećanje i ispunim, govoreći o mestu u kome sam proveo godinu dana. Razlog zašto se ranije nisam oglasio jeste da najpre nisam poznavao stvari dovoljno, a kada sam ih upoznao, već je bilo kasno, jer sam izgubio svaki kritički stav i sopstvenu objektivnost. Isto kao što pišući i govoreći o Beogradu, u kome sam rođen i odrastao, ne mogu da budem objektivan, tako ni o Bratislavi, u kojoj sam proveo godinu dana, ne mogu da budem objektivan. Nadam se da cu uspeti da zadržim ipak neki stepen pristojnosti i da će ovaj moj putopis uspeti da vas natera da razmislite o tome da posetite ovaj grad, koji, generalno gledano, i nije predaleko od ovih naših krajeva...

On December 11, 2009, a constitutive session of the National Council for Sustainable Development in new composition was held, which is the result of the implemented reforms of the Council.

The session discussed a draft of the Second annual report on the implementation of the National strategy of sustainable development of Montenegro, which presented activities implemented by the relevant departments, provided a general evaluation of the sustainability of the development of Montenegro and gave recommendations for further implementation of the Strategy. It was concluded that it was necessary to improve the methodology of monitoring the implementation of the National strategy of sustainable development, to begin the revision of the Action Plan and Strategy in the coming period and to strengthen the system of sustainable development indicators. The draft report was adopted and it will be sent to the Government for consideration, together with comments and conclusions agreed by the Council.

The Rules of Procedure stipulates that the Council sessions should be convened at least three times a year and that the continuity of its wours should be ensured through establishment and operation of working groups for specific areas, which would improve the efficiency of the Council's work.
