EDITORIALL<strong>and</strong> <strong>transport</strong> Pan- European corridor X intersects waterway corridor VII in the Republic<strong>of</strong> Serbia because <strong>of</strong> its ideal geographic location.For that reason, Republic <strong>of</strong> Serbia has a genuine commitment to make contribution,through many ways <strong>of</strong> regional cooperation, to solving problems that occur in previouslymentioned international traffic corridors on its territory, in which the problem <strong>of</strong> <strong>risk</strong> incase <strong>of</strong> emergency during the hazardous materials <strong>transport</strong>ation is included.Research analysis <strong>of</strong> overloading the area <strong>of</strong> the Republic <strong>of</strong> Serbia with technicallytechnologicalaccidents with hazardous materials, which was conducted in Belgrade jointstock institute “<strong>Kirilo</strong> Savić” based on relevant information on firemen’s intervention, hasshown that there were 448 uncommon events with hazardous materials, in whichintervened 2044 firemen. 105 interventions were made in the open space <strong>and</strong> 114interventions on buildings (production facilities, warehouses, distributional <strong>and</strong> otherobjects). 229 interventions were made on traffic vehicles (road traffic – 109 interventions;railroad traffic – 113 interventions; airline traffic- 4 interventions <strong>and</strong> waterway traffic- 3interventions). Listed data indicate that for incidents with hazardous materials on<strong>transport</strong>ation infrastructure go 51% <strong>of</strong> all registered uncommon events, that leads us tothe conclusion that systematic approach to solving this problem in various areas <strong>of</strong> life isnecessary: from improving <strong>transport</strong>ation infrastructure <strong>and</strong> vehicles to majorparticipation <strong>of</strong> science <strong>and</strong> use <strong>of</strong> contemporary technology in human <strong>and</strong> humanenvironment security areas.In purpose <strong>of</strong> improving regional cooperation in the area <strong>of</strong> solving problems concerninguncommon events during hazardous materials <strong>transport</strong> <strong>and</strong> more effective proactiveresponse to <strong>risk</strong>s <strong>of</strong> this kind, joint stock institute “<strong>Kirilo</strong> Savić”, together with Scientific-Research Organizations <strong>of</strong> the Ministry <strong>of</strong> Internal Affairs <strong>of</strong> the Republic <strong>of</strong> Serbia(Academy <strong>of</strong> criminalistic <strong>and</strong> police studies) <strong>and</strong> Ministry <strong>of</strong> Defence (Military Technical<strong>and</strong> Military Geographical Institute) is organizing for the second time the internationalscientific <strong>and</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional conference „Transportation <strong>of</strong> hazardous materials <strong>and</strong> <strong>risk</strong><strong>management</strong>- TOMUR 2010“.This year, 79 researchers <strong>and</strong> experts from 11 countries took part in the Conference (59from Serbia <strong>and</strong> 20 from abroad) with two plenary lectures by invitation <strong>and</strong> 30 sectionalreports. Abstracts <strong>of</strong> all the writings are presented in electronic form (“Book <strong>of</strong>Abstracts”) <strong>and</strong> 18 selected writings were completely printed in this thematic collection <strong>of</strong>international importance.Selected works are the result <strong>of</strong> scientific research projects in the region, scientificresearches that resulted in defence <strong>of</strong> doctoral thesis <strong>of</strong> the conference participants orinternational cooperation <strong>of</strong> certain explorers.
