The project leader was B. Jalžić, and for the elaboration of the Study of the same name, the Ministry gave the CBSS the first prize for an overall contribution to environmental protection for the year 2002. Thanks to a positive evaluation of this Study, a further three-year program (2003 – 2005) was accepted and Project continued with collection of the missing literature, data base formation and further field work.
