Implementation of food safety policy in the Еuropean Union – guidance, variety, and resolution of challenges

Implementation of food safety policy in the Еuropean Union – guidance, variety, and resolution of challenges

Nikola Puvača, Bojan Vapa

Статья научная

The paper explores the intricate landscape of implementing food safety policies within the European Union (EU) context. Through an examination of key themes, including discretion and enforcement of policies, the EU’s problem-resolution strategies, and the concept of individualization that surpasses mere adherence to laws, the paper sheds light on the complexities and nuances inherent in ensuring food safety across the diverse member states. The paper scrutinizes the role of discretion in the enforcement of food safety policies within the EU. It delves into how regulatory bodies exercise judgment in interpreting and applying policies, taking into account the varying contexts and challenges faced by member states. The discussion highlights the need for a balanced approach that considers both uniformity in enforcement and flexibility to address specific regional or sectoral requirements. Further, the paper focuses on the EU’s problem-resolution strategies concerning food safety policies. It explores the mechanisms in place for identifying and addressing challenges that arise during the implementation phase. This includes an analysis of coordination among member states, collaboration with stakeholders, and the role of regulatory bodies in mitigating issues and fostering a harmonized approach to problem-solving. In the end, the paper introduces the concept of individualization, emphasizing how a diverse range of policies and practices exists beyond mere adherence to overarching laws. This section explores the unique approaches taken by member states in tailoring food safety policies to suit their specific circumstances. It investigates the benefits and potential challenges associated with such individualization, considering its impact on overall policy effectiveness and coherence.

Implikacije svetske ekonomske krize na osiguranje u Republici Srbiji

Implikacije svetske ekonomske krize na osiguranje u Republici Srbiji

Marčetić Marija, Krulj Mladenović Milica

Статья научная

Nakon prvog talasa hipotekarne krize koji je najpre pogodio bankarski sektor bilo je jasno da osiguravajuća i reosiguravajuća društva neće ostati imuna. Iz ugla osiguravajućih društava kriza ima višeznačni efekat. Plasirana sredstva, iako u manje rizične finansijske instrumente, izložena su većem riziku na tržištu kapitala. Druga dimenzija krize koju će osetiti osiguravajuće kuće je recesija u koju je ušla privreda, kroz smanjenje potrošnje, povećane cene transfera rizika. Domaće tržište slabo je integrisano u svetsko tržište, pa samim tim i manje podložno tektonskim poremećajima uočenim na drugim finansijskim tržištima. Jedan od razloga zašto kriza ne ugrožava opstanak osiguravajućih društava jeste dosadašnja konzervativna investiciona politika i regulativa. Temeljna načela poslovnih politika osiguravajućih organizacija u danima koji dolaze trebala bi biti sigurnost, likvidnost, disperzija i tek na kraju profitabilnost.

Independence of the judiciary as a path and a goal – Тhe voice of the profession

Independence of the judiciary as a path and a goal – Тhe voice of the profession

Valerija Dabetić

Статья научная

The views and experiences of the judges are important for the performance of their duties, as well as for the improvement of their social and professional position. Therefore, the topic of this paper is the suggestions for improving the independence of the judiciary, which come from the representatives of the judicial profession. The paper is based on the results of extensive empirical research of the judges from all courts of general jurisdiction in Serbia. For the interpretation of the respondents’ answers (N=599), thematic analysis was used, allowing us to further categorize the received statements by the perspectives of the respondents. The conclusion is that judges see the greatest space for improvement in the area of institutional guarantees of independence, while they are significantly less oriented towards guarantees of personal independence. Apart from the theoretical contribution, the paper primarily has a practical goal in advocating social change, i.e. a normative framework based on the guidelines that come from those to whom the regulations refer.

Infiltration into the criminal milieu

Infiltration into the criminal milieu

Aleksandar Jevremović

Статья научная

The characteristics of the modern organized crime have demanded the properly organized competent authorities in order to be able to oppose it successfully. It cannot be achieved without the infiltration into the criminal milieu as a complex criminal-operating activity. It is also a postulation for the competent authorities being engaged in a prevention and combating crime to strive to provide reliable sources of information in the criminal structures, with the aim of detecting the intended or committed criminal acts as well as collecting the evidence of their perpetrators’ guilt. Nowadays, it`s almost impossible without an “insider“ to reveal the structure of the criminal organization, the committed and planned crimes, having in mind extensive protection measures taken by its members. The changes themselves in the manifestation of the organized crime have gone beyond the mere use of informants and made a need for developing the new investigating techniques, aimed at the infiltration into the criminal milieu, which includes the usage of the undercover investigators in order the conspiratory investigations to be conducted and the simulated activities to be realized.

Influence of bio-climatic conditions of mount Zlatibor on health tourism

Influence of bio-climatic conditions of mount Zlatibor on health tourism

Goran Stojićević, Sunčica Ivanović

Статья научная

Introduction: Bioclimatic conditions are of great importance for all forms of tourism, especially for health tourism, as they should encompass therapeutic and prophylactic characteristics. Over the last three decades, tourism in Zlatibor has been continuously growing in terms of tourist numbers and the development of tourist infrastructure. This paper presents the bioclimatic and climatic conditions on Mount Zlatibor from the perspective of their impact on tourism. More precisely, it examines their influence on tourist movements on this mountain and their significance for the development of health tourism. Materials and Methods: Research data were obtained through the analysis of temperature, air pressure, humidity, insolation, and precipitation levels. Based on these data, physiological equivalent temperature (PET) values and the universal thermal climate index (UTCI) were calculated. Results: The obtained results of bioclimatic indices (PET and UTCI) indicate potential stress due to extreme cold in the mornings and evenings from late October to the second decade of March. Pleasant warmth prevails during the summer months in the mornings and evenings. In terms of health, the climate of Zlatibor is suitable for maintaining health, as well as for treating various lung diseases, anemia, heart and blood vessel disorders, especially thyroid disorders. Bioclimatic conditions closely correlate with tourist movements on Zlatibor, as evidenced by climate data and the results obtained from PET and UTCI calculations. Conclusion: Comparing tourist numbers over a five-year period reveals that bioclimatic conditions significantly influence Zlatibor’s peak tourist season, which occurs during the summer months. This period offers the most favorable bioclimatic conditions, attracting the highest number of visitors to the mountain, especially those seeking health and recreational activities.

Inheritance of the compensation for both economic and noneconomic kinds of a damage and the heir's responsibility for obligations of a decedent in the Serbian law towards the Civil code of Republic of Serbia - is the solution foreseen under the articles 197 and 204 of the law of contract a good one?

Inheritance of the compensation for both economic and noneconomic kinds of a damage and the heir's responsibility for obligations of a decedent in the Serbian law towards the Civil code of Republic of Serbia - is the solution foreseen under the articles 197 and 204 of the law of contract a good one?

Статья научная

Problems in the application of Articles 197 and 204 of the Law on of Contract are presented in the paper. Different attitudes in legal theory and case law are presented, as well as proposed solutions in the Preliminary Draft Civil Code of Republic of Serbia. We will put forward our position on the proposed solutions in the Pre-Civil Code of the Republic of Serbia. In the legal theory and jurisprudence, the question arises whether the solution is provided for in Articles 197 and 204 of the Law on Obligations. Problems have been raised regarding the determination of the amount of non-pecuniary damage, when part of the non-pecuniary damage is paid out-of-court procedure, and the injured person files a lawsuit to collect the difference of non-material damage to the court, the court proceedings take several years. How to determine the fair incidence of non-pecuniary damage at the time of passing a judgment?

Injury of human rights and the right to life during the Covid-19 pandemic in the older population

Injury of human rights and the right to life during the Covid-19 pandemic in the older population

Vanesa Sánchez-Ballesteros

Статья научная

It has been more than a year since the Covid-19 pandemic began. Millions of people continue to die around the world. Most of them are elderly, but their importance is not downplayed for this reason. The indiscriminate practices being carried out all over the world, in terms of the suffered abandonment, make us reflect in favor of the study of the protection systems of the most vulnerable people. It also includes the attempt to preserve their fundamental rights at the global level, and, above all, the legal point of view. Consequently, and despite the improvement in the situation produced by the application of the different vaccines against Covid-19, nothing prevents this from being repeated in the future if we do not establish the appropriate measures to assure a real and effective protection. The improvement that is assumed and expected should not refer to the field of health only, but also to the rule of law in which the majority of the world population find themselves regarding the approval of the necessary regulations providing the desired results. Therefore, the essence of this paper is searching for legal solutions to protect the human rights of the most vulnerable people - the elders, through the study of the right to their health protection and the functioning of the established systems concerning this field. The main objective is articulating the necessary strategies and instruments that guarantee the integrity of the elderly people throughout the planet.

Innovations in the criminal legislation of Republic of Serbia: The crime of 'abuse of power' and the crime of 'abuse of position of the person responsible'

Innovations in the criminal legislation of Republic of Serbia: The crime of 'abuse of power' and the crime of 'abuse of position of the person responsible'

Dinić Slavica

Статья научная

In the introductory part of the paper there are discussed the most basic characteristics of both public and private sectors, with an emphasis put on the importance of their mutual influencing. Then, we continue our exposure with a display and analysis of the criminal act 'abuse of power', the incrimination sanctioning only the conduct of the official person (no longer of the person responsible, as it was the case up to the changes and supplements of our Criminal law from 24th December 2012). However, this incrimination is still controversial, because it is not precisely defined, and thus it covers a very wide range of behaviours, which represents the violation of the principle of legality and leads to arbitrariness jeopardizing the principle of the rule of law. Furthermore, the paper deals with an entirely new criminal provisions called 'abuse of position of the person responsible 44 (the Act 234 of the Criminal law of Republic of Serbia). After presenting incriminations themselves, the exposure ends by considering the reasons for introducing the above incriminations in the criminal system of Republic of Serbia and their importance in our criminal justice system.

Inovativnosti malih i srednjih preduzeća

Inovativnosti malih i srednjih preduzeća

Šipka Zoran

Статья научная

Mala i srednja preduzeća suočena su sa ozbiljnim izazovima. Proširenje globalne ekonomije, ubitačna borba za tržišta, drastično skraćenje životnog veka proizvoda, brze tehnološke promene, strukturalne transformacije i drugo. Da bi odgovorila na ove izazove preduzeća moraju stalno da povećavaju produktivnost, poboljšavaju kvalitet proizvoda i usluga, razvijaju nove proizvode i susreću zahteve i želje potrošača. Ukratko preduzeća moraju da budu stalno inovativna, jer imperativ savremenog poslovanja preduzeća jeste usavršavanje svih komponenti strukture i poslovanja preduzeća. Osposobljenost malih i srednjih preduzeća da na tržište iznose sve kvalitetnije, funkcionalnije i jeftinije proizvode ukazuje na razvoj inovativnih procesa u tim preduzećima. Najčešće inovacije u malim i srednjim preduzećima predstavljaju novi proizvodi koji predstavljaju garanciju za njihov uspešan rad. Mala i srednja preduzeća su fleksibilnija i adaptibilnija u odnosu na okruženje tako da se neuporedivo lakše prilagođavaju novonastalim okolnostima u odnosu na potrebu inoviranja proizvoda i usluga. Posebna je uloga i uticaj preduzetničke inovativnosti na razvoj malih i srednjih preduzeća. Ona su ključni faktor razvoja privrede Srbije, jer prema relevantnim podacima preko sto hiljada firmi i preko dvesta hiljada preduzetnika zapošljava 60% ukupno zaposlenih radnika i sa 50% učestvuju u društvenom bruto proizvodu. Cilj ovog istraživačkog rada je da ukaže na potrebu podizanja stepena inovativnosti malih i srednjih preduzeća kroz strukturu proizvodno uslužne delatnosti u kojoj novi proizvod ima primarnu ulogu.

Institucija lokalnog ombudsmana u Srbiji i Španiji sa posebnim osvrtom na proceduru izbora lokalnog ombudsmana

Institucija lokalnog ombudsmana u Srbiji i Španiji sa posebnim osvrtom na proceduru izbora lokalnog ombudsmana

Grujić Aleksandar

Статья научная

Ljudske slobode i prava predstavljaju jednu od najznačanijih tvorevina čoveka. U celokupnom kontekstu ljudskih sloboda i prava pojavljuje se i institucija ombudsmana koja ima zadatak da ih zaštiti i omogući građanima njihovo ostvarenje. Institucija lokalnog ombudsmana postoji u Španiji jedan duži niz godina, dok je u Srbiji to 'nova' institucija. Izbor lokalnog ombudsmana predstavlja jedan elemenata koji utiču na njegov pravni položaj i samim tim na njegovu nezavisnost i samostalnost. Odredbe koje uređuju uslove za izbor lokalnog ombudsmana, procedura izbora, njegov mandat i mogućnost reizbora, nespojivost sa funkcijom lokalnog ombudsmana i garancije samostalnosti i nezavisnosti, predstavljaju pitanja koja daju pravu sliku o položaju ove institucije. Može se zaključiti da pravni sistemi na veoma sličan način uređuju ova pitanja, ali da postoje i specifičnosti svakog od sistema. Isto tako, zaključak je da je institucija lokalnog ombudsmana neophodna lokalnoj samoupravi i predstavlja instituciju koja je od koristi i građanima i organima uprave.

Institutionalization of rights and responsibilities of the opposition in parliament – A comparative European perspective

Institutionalization of rights and responsibilities of the opposition in parliament – A comparative European perspective

Balint Pasztor

Статья научная

The subject of this study is an analysis of different normative solutions and degrees of institutionalization of the role of the opposition in parliaments across a number of European states, ranging from stipulation in the parliamentary rules of procedure to formal recognition of the opposition in the constitution of the state. Balance of the parliamentary political power as well as acknowledgement of the legitimate role of opposition ensures prerequisites for democratic social dialogue and active participation of responsible citizens in the processes of strengthening institutions of representative democracy. Therefore, only consensual political culture contributes to the political trust that citizens place in political institutions. Although there is no universally adopted model that defines the role of the parliamentary majority and opposition, it is undeniable that the post-democracy era requires a redefinition of basic concepts, such as parliamentary majority and opposition, as well as the role of parliament. The scope of the analysis is limited to a comparative overview of constitutional solutions that guarantee the rights of the opposition and the legal framework regulating the part of the rights of parliamentary opposition, which are realized in the process of creating policies. The aim of the paper is to strengthen mechanisms of parliamentary democracy and, in particular, to strengthen trust in the work of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, as only through the effective implementation of European experiences can public trust be built and standards of political culture be improved. Methodologically, the comparative approach is complemented by the analysis of comments and interpretations of constitutional acts, laws, rules of procedure, as well as recommendations of the Venice Commission.

Insurance fraud as a form of economic crime and the methods for combating IT

Insurance fraud as a form of economic crime and the methods for combating IT

Teodora Čordarov, Marija Malinović, Mladen Ćeranić

Статья научная

Dealing with the topic of economic crime in insurance is very complex and therefore challenging. One of the first challenges concerns the definition of economic crime. Namely, economic crime represents a multi-layered phenomenon which must, in terms of the definition of the basic features, be adapted to the specific requirements of a given society. One of the forms of economic crime, which is very common in practice, certainly refers to abuse in the field of insurance. The most common, and at the same time the only form of economic crime in the field of insurance foreseen by law, is insurance fraud. After the conceptual determination of economic crime as well as its basic features, this paper presents a review of the key issues related to the topic of the paper, which includes the phenomenological definition of insurance, the importance of the existence of insurance, insurance fraud as a form of economic crime, as well as the methods for combating it.

Integracija naknade za korišćenje građevinskog zemljišta u porez na imovinu

Integracija naknade za korišćenje građevinskog zemljišta u porez na imovinu

Miladinović Violeta

Статья научная

U ovom radu biće prikazane hronološke promene zakonske regulative koje se odnose na porez na imovinu u statici i naknade za korišćenje građevinskog zemljišta, kao i efekti primene zakonskih promena u praksi. Naknada za korišćenje građevinskog zemljišta i porez na imovinu u statici predstavljaju dva najizdašnija izvorna prihoda jedinice lokalne samouprave. Oni su posebno utvrđivani i naplaćivani, da bi se izmenama zakona naknada integrisala u porez i od 2014. godine se naplaćuje samo porez na imovinu. Razlozi za ovu integraciju se nalaze u prilagođavanju sistema javnih prihoda standardima Evropske unije i ukidanje dosadašnje diskriminacije pravnih lica u odnosu na fizička kada je u pitanju utvrđivanje naknade za korišćenje građevinskog zemljišta. S obzirom da su izmene zakona izazvale veliku medijsku pažnju poreskih obveznika i predstavnika zakonodavne vlasti, posebna pažnja u radu je posvećena efektima integracije naknade za korišćenje građevinskog zemljišta u porez na imovinu.

Intelektualna svojina u međunarodnom privatnom pravu

Intelektualna svojina u međunarodnom privatnom pravu

Golić Darko, Lampe Rok, Džudović Marinko

Статья научная

Jedan od najvećih problema u materiji intelektualne svojine i međunarodnog privatnog prava se javlja u vidu dileme, da li strani državljanin može steći zaštitu svog prava iz oblasti intelektualne svojine u Srbiji i pod kojim uslovima, što isto važi i za našeg državljanina u inostranstvu, kao i mogućnosti registracije i zaštite na međunarodnom nivou, čime bi se, u uslovima globalizacije, jedino i moglo govoriti o zaštiti ovog prava. Domaći izvori prava uslovljavaju prava stranaca na intelektualnu svojinu u našoj zemlji formalnim reciprocitetom, čime se ovo pravo svrstava u grupu relativno rezervisanih prava. Strani državljanin će uživati zaštitu, jednako kao i domaći državljanin, pod uslovom da je to predviđeno međunarodnim ugovorom ili se isto pravo priznaje našem državljaninu u strančevoj državi (princip uzajamnosti, tj. reciprociteta). Svest o značaju međunarodnog regulisanja intelektualne svojine je sazrela dosta rano. Danas je reguliše veliki broj međunarodnih dokumenata. Pariska konvencija o zaštiti industrijske svojine iz 1883. god. prvi je međunarodni akt koji reguliše ovo pitanje. Ovu materiju regulišu i drugi međunarodni multilateralni ugovori: Ugovor o saradnji u oblasti patenata, Konvencija o evropskom patentu, Konvenciju o patentu Evropske zajednice itd. Autorsko delo stranog autora zaštićeno je u Srbiji i Crnoj Gori pod uslovom: 1) da je autor lice koje ima autorska prava na osnovu međunarodnog ugovora koji je ratifikovala Srbija i Crna Gora, ili 2) da postoji uzajamnost između Srbije i Crne Gore i zemlje kojoj autor pripada. Autorsko i druga srodna prava predmet su međunarodnog regulisanja. Najznačajnije međunarodne akte iz ove oblasti predstavljaju Bernska konvencija o zaštiti književnih i umetničkih dela iz 1886. godine i Univerzalna konvencija o autorskom pravu iz 1952. godine. Smatramo da bi unifikacija većeg broja pitanja iz oblasti prava intelektualne svojine, ne samo na nivou EU, već i UN-a, međunarodna saradnja, pospešena proširenjem ovlašćenja nadležnih tela unutar UN-a, prvenstveno UNESCO-a, te znatno veća liberalizacija u pogledu dostupnosti pravne zaštite strancima i davanja povlastica i pomoći zemljama u razvoju namenjenim naučno-tehnološkom razvoju, doprinela sveobuhvatnom i uravnoteženijem razvoju, a na dobrobit celokupnog čovečanstva.

International Criminal Court: Young but important part of international justice

International Criminal Court: Young but important part of international justice

Stanojević Petar, Pavlović Zoran, Prelević Snežana

Статья научная

The idea of the establishment of international criminal court as a means of solving international disputes originating from the nineteenth century. 'Leipzig processes' conducted during 1919. year against former members of the German Army and Navy have shown that the national courts cannot expect sufficient impartiality in regard to war crimes. In Nuremberg, was through the tendency to individual procedures and to not be turn in the trial all the German people, promoted the principle of individual criminal responsibility. International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda were promoted through decisions of the Security Council from 1993. and 1994. year. The existence of a legal basis and powers of the Security Council to form an ad hoc tribunals is the subject of numerous debates. At the diplomatic conference held in Rome, under the auspices of the United Nations, was adopted the Statute of the permanent International Criminal Court. Opening ceremony was followed on the 11. of March 2003. in taking an oath by the judges. The fact that a permanent International Criminal Court is a young body indicates how difficulties were in the building of such institutions, and that the overall work in the field of law is only in a processes, mostly on the development of mechanisms which would take away defects that are observed in similar trials that history abounds.

International arbitration: A necessary method of resolution of commercial disputes with a foreign element within the frame of legal order in Republic of Serbia

Ilija Zinaić , Slobodan Vojinović

Статья научная

One of the basic rights of any person, whether an individual or business entity, is the right to achieve an adequate protection of its violated rights, in front of any state or non-state institution, independently and impartially. However, besides the very need for justice to be satisfied, the efficiency of the process resulting in its satisfaction is also of a great importance. It is not the same whether the establishment of the situation prior to the appearance of the unlawfulness will come within a reasonable time, or within a certain period, which, due to the length of the proceedings, only leads to the omission of justice and fairness. Precisely, it is the efficiency itself which determins the choice of the institution where the participants of the eventual future or emerging disputes will realize their own rights, since the very length of the proceedings, in addition to the uncertainty, can contribute to the development of negative consequences of the unlawfulness more seriously (the greater damage, losses in business, distortion of reputation, etc.). In that sense, the quickness of the process is especially important for business entities regarding the fact that the essence of their existence is a profit gained through the performance of their registered economic activities. Especially favorable are global economic flows, which open up a wide space in terms of the exchange of goods, services and capital outside the borders of the countries that business entities belong to, since the countries themselves are becoming more and more frequent participants of these flows. However, a preexisted harmonious relationship can be easily disturbed with the emergence of business disputes, that cannot be solved by the mentioned agreement. Then, the ruling legal systems, to which the state and business entities belong, become particularly prominent, in order to provide the answers to questions concerning the jurisdiction of the institutions for resolving the dispute, and also the rights that should be applied to the resolution regarding the specific legal nature of the relationship. In situations such as this one, where the laws of the free market predominate, it is clearly pointed out that there is a need for a completely special mechanism in the form of permanent or ad hoc arbitration tribunals, with the state courts competent to resolve economic disputes dominated by the element of foreign affairs. The need for such mechanisms is reflected in the fact that the rights and interests of business entities being violated during an international business cooperation would be satisfied through a “less formal” and more efficient procedure. Therefore, the international arbitration, as a special type of non-state tribunal, is of exceptional importance for economic disputes with a foreign element, if it was envisaged by the agreement between business entities.*

International human rights standards and involuntary psychiatric care – Developments and Serbia’s perspective

International human rights standards and involuntary psychiatric care – Developments and Serbia’s perspective

Anđela Đukanović

Статья научная

Unlike the interpretation of the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (hereinafter: CRPD Committee), which prohibits any deprivation of liberty on the basis of mental disability, the laws of member states continue to allow and implement involuntary psychiatric measures. The recent objection by the CRPD Committee to the adoption of a legally binding document at the Council of Europe level, which aims to regulate the protection of the human rights and dignity of individuals with mental disorders, could potentially have negative consequences. At this point, a legally binding agreement is more significant than a complete prohibition on placement in psychiatric institutions without consent or the exclusion of substitute decision-makers from providing consent for treatment. This is supported by Serbian legislation, which has certain deficiencies in the procedures for the placement and treatment of individuals with mental disorders. Involuntary measures should be applied only in exceptional cases, and a legally binding document that reflects genuine state consensus could be beneficial for creating laws and ensuring protection for those subjected to involuntary psychiatric measures.
