The first scales were created in Mesopotamia seven thousand years ago, and were similar to the one constructed by Miloš Stojanov from Zrenjanin.

The isosceles scales that were designed then and today are the most reliable no matter what weight they are intended for, says this collector.

“This type of scale has remained eternal and I think that for many, many years to come, this type of scale will remain. An isosceles weight of 20 kilos, she felt 500 milligrams. Put it on her senses “, says collector Miloš Stojanov.

The oldest scale in this collection is the American “Daytona” from the 1920s. The development of trade scales in the last hundred years starts from it.

Among the numerous scales with a classic look, there is one unusual, so-called German pendulum scale that was used in pharmacy.

Milos also collected a collection of weights, without which scales cannot measure. There is also a special scale that is used for calibration and tare weights.

“They are compared with trade weights and then they are harmonized with those weights. Each tag has its own specific error. Each weight must be stamped next to the scale “, adds Miloš.

Unfortunately, the collection cannot be seen by a large number of citizens. One way to do that is to be part of the museum collection.

In order for the National Museum in Zrenjanin to eventually process a collection, it is necessary for the curator to look at its value from several angles.

“When he is offered a certain item, he assesses based on whether such an item already exists in the collection. Whether it is something that completes the collection itself, the condition of the object is important. Does it have native value, because we are a museum of central Banat “, explains Sanja Vrzić from the National Museum in Zrenjanin.

The collection includes 85 correct scales and scales. Miloš Stojanov spent his entire working life as a master for scales, collecting broken ones, and then repairing them all as a pensioner.

The enormous increase in new cases of COVID-19 infections has led Germany to put Kosovo back on the list of high-risk countries.

This classification for Kosovo will enter into force on August 22, until the new conditions for entering the German state are made public.

“Epidemiological situation: Kosovo has been strongly affected by COVID-19. Finally, the number of infections has increased significantly. “Kosovo is classified as a high risk area, and this classification enters into force on August 22, 2021”, it is said on the website of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“Foreign nationals over the age of 11, regardless of country of origin and route of travel, must present an incoming PCR test (not older than 72 hours before entry”, is the condition set by the German state.

“Travelers who have evidence that they have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and have been vaccinated for at least two weeks do not need a negative entrance test,” it said.

While German citizens are advised to avoid unnecessary tourist visits to Kosovo.

Currently in Kosovo there are over 16 thousand active cases infected with COVID-19, while the country from today has entered a regime of measures. Nightclubs will be closed until September 1, weddings have been banned and gastronomy hours have been shortened. / Express /

Mariam H. escaped several years ago. From Afghanistan to Germany. Far from constant killing, from the Islamist terror of the Taliban and from the coercion that reigns in an archaic-patriarchal structured society. In Germany, she had a chance to lead a free life and decide for herself.

But it seems that this was fatal for the 34-year-old mother of two. She was killed – and her two brothers, who thought she was living immorally, were charged with murder. A horrible crime, committed right in the German capital, liberal and open Berlin.

Suspicion of “honor killing” suspected

The state prosecutor’s office and the Berlin Office for the Fight against Crime are now conducting an investigation against the 22- and 25-year-old brothers. They are suspected of killing their sister together on July 13 in Berlin “because of the feeling of being injured.”

The state prosecutor’s office believes that on the same day, the brothers transferred their sister’s body in a suitcase to Neuburg in Bavaria, where the third, oldest brother lives. There, the two of them buried Mary X together. The body was found a little later.

The autopsy confirmed the suspicion of murder and that it was the sister of the suspects. The search for Mariam H. it lasted for several days: surveillance camera footage and witness statements were analyzed; the suspicions that the brothers had killed her were growing stronger, so that in the end they were arrested. By the way, the two of them have been living in Berlin for several years.

Hatred of the western way of life?

Discussions about the causes of such murders immediately flared up. They often revolve around the question: where does so much hatred for the Western way of life come from?

An important aspect is the patriarchal perspective, says Martin Lesentin, a spokesman for the International Society for Human Rights. That perspective is “often associated with a particular religious attitude that is also traditionally religious.”

At the same time, as Lesentin adds, it is a complex of men “who cannot expect success in life or have not had it, success in business that they would like to have in a free society, and even in competition with women. They basically want to by being born as men – they determine everything “.

Clara Rigoni of the Max Planck Institute for Crime, Security and Law Research also sees patriarchal structures as the main cause.

In essence, it is “male control of female sexuality and the sexual part of a woman that the family believes must protect her.” That, as he says, is not present only in Muslim families, because “killings from parts” are not necessarily religiously motivated everywhere.

Girls and women in all parts of the world suffer violence in the name of the traditional “part”, says Rigoni.

“There have been such patriarchal structures at different times and regions.” She cites Southeast Asia, Africa, as well as Latin America “where, for example, there are forced marriages. But it has been the same in the Mediterranean region in the past, and partly today.”

Political tension over terminology

The murder of Mariam H. it has long since taken on a political dimension. On that occasion, politicians from all parties took positions in the media and on social networks.

Everyone strongly condemns the murder and expresses sympathy for the victim and especially her children. When it comes to the causes, the ruling coalition talks mostly about “failed integration due to archaic notions of the world” or “murder from a part” for which the “archaic image of the world and women” is to blame.

The terminological approach is not the same for everyone. Thus, there is an opinion according to which the term “part murder” is inappropriate, because “it contains a justification for the perpetrators – murder and part do not go together”, and that is why the term “femicide” is better.

And there are (right-wing) attitudes according to which reactions like the previous one are not adequate and “again show the failure of the left-wing integration ideology which refuses to face reality – at the expense of countless female victims in Germany.”

What to do?

Everyone agrees, at least in the assessment that a liberal society like the German one must do everything to prevent such murders.

Martin Lesentin is sure that the basic precondition for that is education, “both in the long run and in a system that enables the experience of success”.

The president of the International Society for Human Rights cites the possibility of organizing “multi-year integration seminars and training opportunities” that would open up economic and social access to German society for migrants.

This is important because, as he says, “in the case of other waves of migration, we still see that people who are in Germany for the third or fourth generation, still catch the eye with their sexist behavior, until the murder from the unit.”

Clara Rigoni from the Max Planck Institute has a similar opinion, who believes that breaking up patriarchal structures is difficult, but that shortcomings in integration can be eliminated by persistent work on education and opening employment opportunities for migrants..

The footage showed Kim Reisner leaning over a fence to hit a horse, which refused to jump over obstacles.

The move cost competitor Anika Shloy the opportunity to win a gold medal, the AP reported.

The International Organization of Modern Pentathlon stated that it reviewed the video in which “it seems that Reisner is hitting a horse with a fist”, as well as that her action is “contrary to the rules”.

It is also heard on the recording that Reisner calls on Shloyev to hit the horse harder, adds the AP.

Suspension for Reisner applies only to the rest of the Olympic Games, which end on August 8.

Anika Shloy was also the subject of condemnation on social networks because, according to critics, she often used a whip.

Competitors in modern pentathlon ride horses they have never encountered before, and establishing trust with an animal in a short time is considered part of the competitive challenge.

German officials have previously said that the rules in that sport should be changed.

As of today, persons from Kosovo who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 have the opportunity to re-register in the waiting list for the appointment of a work visa appointment in Germany.

Due to great interest, the server of the online appointment site has left the system, reports Zeri.info.

“The server is currently busy. “Currently there is a large influx of applications, please try again later”, it is said on the page where the dates for visas are set.

” Regulation for the Western Balkans’, renewed, entered into force on January 1, 2021. With this, the citizens of Kosovo will have privileged access to the labor market in Germany until December 31, 2023. On August 1, 2021 review of applications for such visas for persons from Kosovo who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will again be possible. The new waiting list for scheduling an appointment in August for persons fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will be opened on July 1, 2021 “, said in the first announcement a few days ago from the German Embassy in Kosovo.

German Ambassador to Kosovo Jorn Rohde reacted to former EULEX Judge Malclom Simmons who reported Monday to members of the Committee on Legislation, Mandates, Immunity, Rules of Procedure of the Assembly and the Oversight of the Anti-Corruption Agency. during the years of EULEX in Kosovo.

Rohde is concerned why the Kosovo Assembly has given a platform to former EULEX judge Malcolm Simmons for what he says is Simmons disinformation campaign.

Simmons’s statements, the German ambassador called convincing refutations.

“EULEX’s very convincing and comprehensive denial of unfounded allegations. “I just wonder why the Assembly of Kosovo still offers former Judge Simmons a platform to continue this disinformation campaign,” the ambassador wrote on Twitter.

Through a video link, he said that EULEX aimed to remove from political life the persons he referred to as “big fish”, while presenting cases where, according to him, the aim was only punishment and not the administration of justice. In addition, Simmons said that very little has been done in detecting and investigating war crimes in Kosovo, although in 2014 he leaked documents, including information on Serb suspects and all personal data of Kosovo victims.

However, he said that at this stage I can not give detailed data, but if the commission decides to open a full investigation, it will provide details and documentation to support its claims.

Simmons said that when he discussed with EULEX why the war crimes investigations carried out by Serb suspects were not postponed, he was told that the Serbian authorities did not have the resources and the will to investigate them.

Very convincing and comprehensive #EULEX rebuttal of the unsubstaintiated allegations. I just wonder why the Kosovo Assembly @KuvendiRks still provides former judge Simmons with a platform to continue this disinformation campaign. https://t.co/wB3kOZQnWD

“We expect both sides to approach these negotiations constructively and we are clearly informing the authorities, both in Belgrade and in Pristina. Of course, it is important to have a certain level of mutual trust from both parties. “That is why it is good that President (Aleksandar) Vucic and Prime Minister (Albin) Kurti met in person,” Schieb said.

He stressed that it is important for both parties to respect the principle of agreement and implementation.

Asked about the possibility of Russia’s involvement in the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, the German ambassador recalled that the United Nations has authorized the EU to mediate in the dialogue and stressed that the Americans confirmed their readiness to support this process under EU mediation. of.

“It would be good if positive signals also came from Moscow,” he said.

Schieb also referred to the emergence of many “non-papers” regarding the Western Balkans and stressed that Germany’s position is clear – there are no border changes because, as he said, this would create additional problems instead of solving the existing ones. which would result in dangerous destabilization of the region.

“Sometimes an emotionally driven discussion about so-called ‘non-papers’ of undetermined origin is appropriate to divert attention from important topics that represent a challenge, and that is to improve regional co-operation and reconciliation with surrounding countries,” he said. the German ambassador.

At the Faculty of Philology of the University of Prishtina, it will be possible to attend studies at the master level in the new program “German as a foreign language”, and a German hall has been inaugurated.

“It is a privilege to be part of the inauguration of the German hall, which is equipped with modern technology and books. The Department of German Language and Literature of UP in general have been the bearer of our culture and the connecting bridge with our partners even when communication with professionals was impossible.

It is a pleasure to see our youth advance. Higher education is an advantage for everyone creates a better life for everyone. The closeness to the German people is noticed by our young people learning the German language.

I am glad that the master program will be introduced as a foreign language. “One of the primary issues is to provide opportunities for the advancement of our youth.” / EO
