The text presents transliteration of the manuscript written by Barbora Čížková who was born and lived in the only Czech village in Bulgaria, Vojvodovo, till the remigration to the Czechoslovakia after WW II. In her text, named “History of the Čížek and Karbula families”, the events are mentioned that are related to the Czech Vojvodovo community in a broad time-span from the foundation of the village in 1900 till the situation of the community in Czechoslovakia after the remigration in 1948-1950. Although history of Vojvodovo is rather known, this is the first time when it is thematised by a member of the given community. The transliteration of the Čížková's manuscript is supplemented by explanatory notes and a short introduction to the phenomenon of Vojvodovo.
In June 1997, the ASCR signed an agreement with the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Garching (Germany) and became the operator of the Asterix IV laser. This facility provides the basis for experimental research in the field of high-power lasers and their applications, notably in the physics of laser plasmas. The Prague Asterix Laser System (PALS) has been made use of by the wider international research community. From 2000-2003, the European experiments at PALS were supported through the 5th Framework Programme of EU, in the frame of the Transnational Access to Major Research Infrastructure action. Since 2004, the laboratory participates at an Integrated Infrastucture Initiative project of the Consortium (6th FP). and Marina Hužvárová.
The paper provides examples from a fieldwork on Slovak - Romani relation in the village in the Northeast Slovakia in 1994 - 2001. Partial results of the grant project B 8058903 from the Academy of Science of the Czech Republic are presented. This presentation discusses both the interaction between different ethnicgroup and the impact of decollectivisation and „privatisation“ in one village territory in north-east Slovakia. The appearing of „new owners“ of formerly collectivised land in locality with two ethnically different populations with two dissimilar demographic behaviour repersents the frame for an analysis. The rise of interethnic disputes was caused by the problems of transformation (bankruptcy of Industrial companies and co-operatives , unemployment). This paper aims at distinguis hing between the rights over the property as given by the law and between the actual ability of the owners to realize their rights and to acquire the claimed land. The land owners remainedmembers of „transformed“ agricultural co-operatives, while at the same time, they were usually using part of their small plots (less then 0.5 hectare per family) to sustain themselves. These changes were mutual bounded whith ethnic segregation. Special attention is paid to the problem of land restitution of the formerly collectivised fields and on the informal economy between different ethnic groups. The thesis that it is possible to interpret the growth of interethnic separation as a result of the post-communist conditions is supported.
