Evidence (2024-06-08): The Glorioso Islands Marine Natural Park (French: Parc naturel marin des Glorieuses) is a marine park at the entrance of the Mozambique Channel, around the Glorioso Islands, in the Indian Ocean. It extends for more than 43,000 square kilometres (17,000 sq mi) until the edge of the French overseas territory's exclusive economic zone. Established in 2012, it is the fourth marine natural park created by France and the second in the Indian Ocean after Mayotte Marine Natural Park, which it abuts. [...] History [edit]The territory of the Glorioso Islands has seen a number of problems due to illegal activities such as fishing and tourism. To keep an eye on these activities, while protecting the entire exclusive economic zone, the French Southern and Antarctic Lands and the French Marine Protected Areas Agency decided to develop a framework for managing the area.[6] Glorioso Islands Marine Natural Park was established through TAAF ordinance number 2012–245 on February 22, 2012,[2]: 51 and the park entered operation in early 2015.[7] It is the fourth marine natural park established by France, and the second in the Indian Ocean following that of Mayotte.[6]

Evidence (2022-04-19): The Glorieuses or Glorioso Islands (Îles Glorieuses or officially also Archipel des Glorieuses) are a group of French islands and rocks totaling 5 square kilometres (1,200 acres). They are controlled by France as part of the Scattered Islands in the Indian Ocean in the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, a French overseas territory, but are also claimed by Comoros, Madagascar and formerly by Seychelles. They are geographically part of the Comoro Islands between the French overseas region of Mayotte and the nation of Madagascar. [...] While probably earlier known to Arab (perhaps especially Yemeni) navigators, the Glorieuses were named and settled in 1880 by a Frenchman, Hippolyte Caltaux, who established a coconut plantation on Grande Glorieuse. The archipelago became a French possession in 1892 when Captain Richard of the Primauget made a formal claim. In 1895, the Glorioso Island became a part of the colony of Mayotte and dependencies. [...] In 2012, France founded Glorioso Islands Marine Natural Park, a marine protected area, to preserve the endangered flora and fauna of the islands.

Evidence (2024-03-03): The Glorieuses or Glorioso Islands (French: Îles Glorieuses or officially also Archipel des Glorieuses) are a group of islands and rocks totaling 5 square kilometres (1.9 sq mi). They are controlled by France as part of the Scattered Islands in the Indian Ocean in the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, a French overseas territory, but are also claimed by Comoros, Madagascar and formerly by Seychelles. They are geographically part of the Comoro Islands between the French overseas region of Mayotte and the nation of Madagascar.

[...] From 1914 to 1958, concessions to exploit the islands were given to Seychelles companies. The islands are today nature reserves with a meteorological station garrisoned by the French Foreign Legion.[4] Despite the Glorioso Islands never having been a part of the Malagasy Protectorate but a part of the colony of Mayotte and dependencies, then a part of French Comoros, Madagascar has claimed sovereignty over the islands since 1972.[5] The Comoros claims Mayotte and Glorioso Islands.[6] The Seychelles claimed the islands too before the France–Seychelles Maritime Boundary Agreement in 2001.

Evidence (2018-03-17): For us hams, these names often evoke exoticism, an invitation to travel, but also and especially rare and sought-after contacts. The most populated areas, such as Réunion, the islands of the West Indies or New Caledonia for example, are characterized by a permanent radio amateur presence, ensuring daily contacts. For others like Saint Barthélemy or Wallis and Futuna, they are tourist destinations, not requiring a special authorization. These places are therefore regularly active during activities or expeditions conducted by passing radio amateurs. Finally, some territories require specific authorizations because their access is restricted, usually to protect their extremely sensitive ecosystems. This last category includes Clipperton, Europa, Juan de Nova, Tromelin, Glorioso, Crozet, Amsterdam, Kerguelen, and Terre Adélie. A contact with these entities is thus rather rare and extremely coveted. [...] In order to give the greatest number of people an opportunity to contact these territories, several amateur radio expeditions have been successfully organized and conducted: Amsterdam (1998) and Tromelin (2000) by the Lyon DX Gang and the Gendarmerie de Bron, Europa (2003) and Glorioso (2008) by a French military team thanks to Didier F5OGL, Amsterdam (2014) by Ralph K0IR and his team, and finally Tromelin (2014) and Juan de Nova (2016) by my team.

Evidence (2024-06-26): Discover the Glorioso Islands, an archipelago within an archipelago, which consists of Grande Glorieuse to the south and Île du Lys… a true desert island. To be strictly accurate, the archipelago also includes two small islets which neighbour Grande Glorieuse, the aptly named Roches Vertes (Green Rocks) and Île aux Crabes (Crab Island). Four parcels of land protected by a lagoon which dries up at low tide. Some of the mariners who visited the Indies during the 16th century were doubtless aware of the existence of these islands, however, their histories did not begin until Hippolyte Caltaux came across them in 1879. He was the one who named these islands, in homage no doubt to the 1830 revolution which he wanted to honour in the faraway Indian Ocean. Copra from his coconut grove and guano from the Île du Lys was then traded along the trading routes until 1907. Out of all these islands, it is the Gloriosos which are richest in history. It is a violent history history indeed as they were once a hideout for pirates attempting to evade the French navy – a journey to these parts will therefore be rich in both wildlife and mythology. It will unveil the great history of French exploration and the glory of a past in which the unknown still existed.

Claim: Sastavci is a territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Sastavci, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2009-10-25): Sastavci is an exclave of Bosnia and Herzegovina and located as an enclave just west of the Serbian town of Priboj in the region of Zlatibor. All infrastructure and systems (electricity, telecom, education, medical care etc.) in the enclave are tied to the Serbian municipality, but the citizens are paying land tax to the Bosnian municipality of Rudo. This also includes Serbian citizens when it comes to business buildings. The enclave of Sastavci is part of the Medjurecja village of the municipality of Rudo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the area of 395 ha, 83 acres and 57 m² – about twice the size of Monaco. The area represents (1990 metres)². [...] Historic facts about the formation of the enclave on the territory of Serbia are not known, but among the population it is tied to the period at the end of XIX and beginning of XX century, when in that region, the Austro-Hungary and the Ottoman Empires where sharing the border, after the Congress of Berlin (1878) when the Austro-Hungary was allowed to annex Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is believed that, due to the ownership relations from that period, the enclave of Sastavci remained, after Ottomans retreated from Bosnia to the Raska region (Sandjak), tied to the Austro-Hungary administration. Later, with the automatic transfer already established administrative borders, enclave was left tied to the Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Evidence (2024-08-29): Yugoslavia, former federated country that was situated in the west-central part of the Balkan Peninsula. [...] After the Balkan Wars of 1912–13 ended Ottoman rule in the Balkan Peninsula and Austria-Hungary was defeated in World War I, the Paris Peace Conference underwrote a new pattern of state boundaries in the Balkans. The major beneficiary there was a newly created Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, which comprised the former kingdoms of Serbia and Montenegro (including Serbian-held Macedonia), as well as Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Austrian territory in Dalmatia and Slovenia, and Hungarian land north of the Danube River. Great difficulty was experienced in crafting this multinational state. Croats favoured a federal structure that would respect the diversity of traditions, while Serbs favoured a unitary state that would unite their scattered population in one country. The unitarist solution prevailed. The 1921 constitution established a highly centralized state, under the Serbian Karadjordjević dynasty, in which legislative power was exercised jointly by the monarchy and the Skupština (assembly). The king appointed a Council of Ministers and retained significant foreign policy prerogatives. The assembly only considered legislation that had already been drafted, and local government acted in effect as the transmission belt for decisions made in Belgrade.

Evidence (2024-09-24): Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country in Southeast Europe on the Balkan Peninsula. It has had permanent settlement since the Neolithic Age. By the early historical period it was inhabited by Illyrians and Celts. Christianity arrived in the 1st century, and by the 4th century the area became part of the Western Roman Empire. Germanic tribes invaded soon after, followed by Slavs in the 6th century. [...] Kingdom of Bosnia [edit]Bosnian history from then until the early 14th century was marked by the power struggle between the Šubić and Kotromanić families. This conflict came to an end in 1322, when Stjepan II Kotromanić became ban. By the time of his death in 1353, he had succeeded in annexing territories to the north and west, as well as Zahumlje and parts of Dalmatia. He was succeeded by his nephew Tvrtko who, following a prolonged struggle with nobility and inter-family strife, gained full control of the country in 1367. Under Tvrtko, Bosnia grew in both size and power, finally becoming an independent kingdom in 1377. Following his death in 1391 however, Bosnia fell into a long period of decline. The Ottoman Empire had already started its conquest of Europe and posed a major threat to the Balkans throughout the first half of the 15th century. Finally, after decades of political and social instability, Bosnia officially fell in 1463, while resistance was active and fierce for a few more centuries. Southern regions of Bosnia, nowadays known as "Herzegovina" would follow in 1483, with a Hungarian-backed reinstated "Bosnian Kingdom" being the last to succumb in 1527.
