	FROGLOG 58 - Green Frogs are Greatly Endangered in Serbia and Montenegro
		Green frog population density is greatest in the lowlands (the Panonnian Plain, the Morava River Basin, Lake Skadar); consequently about one third (35.17%) of the territory of Serbia and Montenegro is suitable for the economically-profitable harvesting of green frogs.
		Almost all of the rivers in Serbia and Montenegro have experienced at least one accident-related event before the major disaster, caused by the NATO bombing in 1999.

		Partly a poetic, sensitive travelogue, partly a nervously defensive polemic, this slender volume touched off a firestorm of controversy in Europe, where Handke was accused by critics of attempting to minimize Serbian war crimes.
		Serbia aside, this book shows, in near-poetic language, that things are not always as journalists portray them.
		On to the merits of the book: Handke states the war was the reason for his journey, and that he was "drawn" to the country (Serbia) of the disintegrating Yugoslavia "least known to me".

		In March 1919, the French head of the Entente mission in Budapest handed Mih·ly K·rolyi, the fledgling Hungarian republic's leftist president, a diplomatic note dictating the last in a series of border rectifications that stripped Hungary of large swaths of its traditional lands.

	Dicatating Consensus
		This is the impression spread by much of the European (and American) media, and Handke argues that it became predominant because the media--the "Fourth Reich"--hold a firm and seemingly perpetual grasp on society's language.
		Handke wants, in A Journey to the Rivers, to instill the importance of questioning into a blind and narrow-minded populace, and to move toward an understanding of the superficial differences which separate human beings from each other and result in ill-informed antagonisms.
		And although he does go to Serbia with preconceptions, they are of a different sort: he recognizes that the European media rarely print photos of Serbian victims; he goes to Serbia in order to question such biases.

		The quality of those aquifers may be jeopardized by the surface waters of mentioned rivers if the untreated waters are directly disposed to their flows.
		Sources of ground waters for these towns are located in riparian areas of major rivers: the Danube, the Sava, and the Velika Morava, where communication of surface and ground flows is continuous, and hence most likely for ground water to be affected by waste waters discharged into the rivers.
		Most of the rivers were classified into water quality classes III or IV, few into class II, and none to class I. In all other sampling points, river water either intermittently or permanently was beyond the limits of the River Categorization Regulation of the Republic of Serbia.
