(excursion on 22nd of June).
All presentations will
be in the Center for Economical and Technological Development of

(the price is included in registration fee). We
need your exact arrival and departure time.
People
who will come by train, bus or car will get information how to rich
Novi Sad and Fruska gora after they send us the registration form.
Registration
We
would like to ask everybody to fill in the registration form and return it before March 1st.
Registration fee
The
registration fee for the symposium is 70,- Euro. It can be paid from
May 1st
on the bank number, or at symposium in cash. This price includes
registration and transport from and to the airport.
Participation
of the fieldtrip on Monday 22nd will cost an extra money (we still do
not know the exact sum, it depends on number of people interested
in).
If
the organizing committee succeeds in raising funds for the symposium,
part of it can be used for financial compensation of the trip and
accommodation for some participants.
Accommodation
Accommodation
is in the
Center for Economical and Technological Development of Province
Vojvodina, Andrevlje on the mountain Fruška gora. There are: 3
apartment rooms, 3 rooms with French bed, 11 single rooms, 10 double
rooms and 4 triple rooms.
It
would be nice that all participants have accommodation at the same
place, therefore the best is to share a room as much as possible.
ACCOMMODATION PRICES
(full board): per person, from cca 45, - Euro for double room to cca
50, - Euro for single room. There is no possibility to pay in
advance.
The Serbian currency is
the Dinar (din or RSD), so we suggest you to convert money (the best
is to bring Euros, or US Dollars, as these two currencies are the
easiest to exchange) in exchange office at the airport in Belgrade,
or you can also pay accommodation by credit card.
Presentation
Anyone
who wants to give a oral or poster presentation is kindly requested
to give the provisional title before March 1st. For oral
presentations in PowerPoint we would like to receive a copy of the
presentation before June 10th. If it is not more than 5 Mb it can be
sent by e-mail (syrphidae09@yahoo.com), otherwise we would like to

abstracts should contain the following information:
Title;
authors, including the addresses and e-mails of authors; a brief
summary of the contents of the talk or poster. Abstracts should not

Excursion
On Monday June 22nd we
will organize a field excursion, probably to the Deliblato Sands
Special Natural Reserve. The Deliblato Sands is a
geo-morphological formation of eolian origin, of exceptional specific
beauty and multiple scientific importance. It is of diluvial origin.
It is an isolated complex of sand masses with a distinctly undulating
dune relief on an area of over 380 sq. kilometers, of elongated
ellipsoid shape, surrounded by the expanses of the cultured steppe of
the Pannonian plain. About 16,000 ha is under forest - mainly
cultivated pure stands of Scotch and black pine, black locust,
poplar,etc., and somewhat less under mixed stands of linden, English
and pubescent oak, poplar, flowering ash, and other species. In
addition to the anthropogenic forests, in the Deliblato Sands there
are smaller preserved remains of one time autochthonous forests of
English oak with linden and Lily-of-the-valley (Convalaria
majalis).
We
still do not know the costs for the excursion, but soon we shall
inform you.
