In this paper, we present a description of the previously unknown larva of Agapetus episkopi Malicky 1972 (Trichoptera: Glossosomatidae). Information on the morphology of the larvae is given and the most important diagnostic features are photographed. As a species of subfamily Agapetinae Martynov 1913, A. episkopi larvae belong to the group of species with sclerites present on the pro-, meso-, and metanota. Because lateral setae on abdominal segment III are lacking and the larval case lacks a sand collar at its base, A. episkopi keys with Agapetus laniger Pictet 1834 and Agapetus delicatulus McLachlan 1884. Within this trio, each of the latter two species can be easily separated from A. episkopi by the coloration pattern of their frontoclypeus, where a pale central area is present, and by the presence of only one lateral seta on each side of abdominal segment I. With respect to distribution, A. episkopi has been recorded from European Ecoregion 6 (= Hellenic western Balkan region) and Asia Minor. In addition, ecological characteristics are briefly discussed, and a key to the known glossosomatid larvae of European Ecoregion 6 is included.

This paper presents a description of the hitherto unknown larva of Schizopelex huettingeri Malicky 1974 (Trichoptera: Sericostomatidae). We provide information on the morphology of the larva and figure the most important diagnostic features. Schizopelex huettingeri can be easily separated from Oecismus monedula (Hagen 1859), Sericostoma flavicorne Schneider 1845, and Sericostoma personatum (Kirby & Spence 1826) by the shape of the pronotum, the lack of a comma-like marking on the lateral protuberance, and by the number of setae on abdominal dorsum IX. With respect to distribution, S. huettingeri is an endemic of European Ecoregion 6 (= Hellenic western Balkan region), inhabiting the mountains of Central Greece. Ecological characteristics of the species are briefly discussed, and a preliminary key to the hitherto known Sericostomatidae larvae of European Ecoregion 6 is included.

Genus Polycentropus Curtis 1835 is represented in Greece by three species: Polycentropus excisus Klapálek 1894, P. flavomaculatus (Pictet 1834) and P. ierapetra Malicky 1972. The larvae of the former two species are well known, whereas the larva of P. ierapetra was hitherto unknown. In this paper, we describe the larva of P. ierapetra; diagnostic features of the species are listed and illustrated, and some information on its ecology is included. In addition, diagnostic characters for the larvae of the known Polycentropus species occurring in the Hellenic western Balkan region are provided.

This synoptic paper is intended to summarize and supplement the information available on the larvae of Thremma McLachlan 1876 in Europe. We present information on the morphology of the larvae and illustrate the most important diagnostic features. This information is used for the construction of a comprehensive discriminatory matrix for the four European species of family Thremmatidae Martynov 1935 known in the larval stage so far. In the context of this matrix, larvae can be easily diagnosed by the shape of mesonotal sclerites, foretrochantins, forefemora and ventral sclerites on abdominal segment I, by head coloration patterns, by case morphology, and by distribution. In addition, ecological characteristics and distributions of the European taxa are briefly discussed.

The paper presents the pilot Microgrid in Macedonia, developed within the framework of the MOREMICROGRIDS (EU EP6 projecet, contract No. SES6-019864) project. This Microgrid is the first of its kind being developed in the Western Balkan region and serves as pilot site for introduction and examination of the Microgrids concept in non European Union conditions. The test network consists of a part of the low voltage grid, located on a pig farm. The main electricity source for the Microgrid is a small biogas plant, which uses the biogas produced by a waste water treatment process. The paper addresses the Microgrid design, development of test scenarios and test results from the pilot location.

Short Time

Panel regression model may seem like an appealing solution in conditions of limited time series. This is often used as a shortcut to achieve deeper data set by setting several individual cases on the same time dimension, where cross units visually but not really multiply a time frame. Macroeconometrics of the Western Balkan region assumes short time series issue. Additionally, the structural brakes are numerous. Panel regression may seem like a solution, but there are some limitations that should be considered.

This article is dedicated to the German policy towards the EU enlargement. Its history as well as the current German policy towards prospective enlargements are analyzed in this paper. The article offers party-political and sociological analysis of Germany`s attitude towards the EU enlargement, also the reasons for it are determined. FRG supported all of the European Community and European Union enlargements. This line is being continued, but nowadays only step to step approach is being supported. Germany‘s motives to the EU enlargement are based on the liberal concept of the common security. The main goals of this policy are the including of European countries into the Western community of developed countries (the EU), the extension of the stability and security area. The economic integration is also very important for Germany. The key priority of the EU enlargement is the Western Balkan region (the so called “Europeanisation” of Western Balkans). This process is being supported by political elites of the region and by the European Union itself. It is recognized, that the Europeanisation of Western Balkans was used as a sample for the Eastern Partnership Program. Without consideration of the Russian factor, though, this strategy towards the post-Soviet countries has many weaknesses. But the EU-membership for the Eastern Partnership members is not excluded.
