Criminal act of causing bankruptcy: Specific characteristics and features
Статья научная
Economy, as the total of production, exchange, distribution and consumption, is a basis for functioning of every society. For this reason, the state is particularly interested in its smooth functioning by providing protection. The criminal law protection is just one aspect of that protection. The criminal offenses against economy are heterogeneous, since the relationships in which economic subjects enter by doing their activities are numerous and diverse. In this sense, their common characteristics cannot be discussed. However, since the totality of these relationships makes the economic system, it represents their common protection object. Due to the content diversity, the crimes of this group can be divided into subgroups, and one of these divisions could refer to general and special crimes against eco nomy. General criminal offenses can be committed in every branch of economy, and the special ones in certain branches. The criminal offense of causing bankruptcy belongs to a group of general criminal offenses against economy. Accordingly, the authors will point out the specific characteristics and basic features of the criminal act of causing bankruptcy.

Criminal act of violation of equality: Scope and specificity
Статья научная
The basic principles underlying every democratic society are the rule of law, respect for human rights and freedom and equality of all citizens. Discrimination is a direct violation of these principles. Protection against discrimination requires an effective social reaction which involves taking appropriate measures in the first place of a preventive, and then repressive character. In the system of repressive measures, the criminal justice measures occupy a significant place. Their application must enable the sanction not only of violence, due to racial, ethnic, religious or other diversity, but also the incitement to such behavior. This requires monitoring of international standards in this area and their implementation in domestic legislation. The numerous changes and amendments of the Criminal Code also intervened in the sphere of personal rights and freedoms of man and citizen, in addition to the existing ones, as well as the introduction of new incriminations that protect these rights. The legal description of the criminal offense of violation of equality represents a specific definition of discrimination and the basis from which other crimes that violate the rights and freedoms of man were defined. This criminal offense provides the most complete criminal justice protection of human rights.

Статья научная
Compatibility with the standards of the European Union in terms of the criminal law regulation of all offenses that disrupt economic flows and values in a country, greatly affects, among the other things, the stability of economy as a basic social activity.

Undoubtedly, one of the leading movements at the global level in the past few decades was the movement for the global and intensive protection of the human environment, that is, the affirmation of the right of man to a healthy environment, as a distinct right. Bearing in mind the importance of a healthy environment and the importance of its protection, which has grown from a social need into a legal imperative, it is certainly justified to establish the environment as an independent and primary collective object of protection within the domestic criminal legislation. Taking into account the tendencies on the international and comparative level regarding the regulation of the criminal law protection of the environment, the domestic legislator dedicates an entire chapter of the Criminal Code precisely to incriminations that have the environment as an object of protection, in various forms. As the first offense provided for in Chapter 24 i.e., Criminal offenses against the environment, the legislator defines the general and most significant criminal offense from the group of criminal offenses against the environment, namely, Environmental pollution. This paper is dedicated to the analysis of this criminal offense in domestic criminal legislation, with reference to individual solutions contained in the legislation of the Republic of Croatia and pointing out their differences.

Criminal offense of inciting national, racial, and religious hatred and intolerance
Статья научная
In our region, multi-ethnicity, multi-confessionalism, and multilingualism are common phenomena, and therefore the challenges they face are not exceptions. With the emancipation and transition of countries in the region, accession to the European Union, states have brought new legislative frameworks in which they have recognized long- standing personal characteristics of their citizens, provided protection for these characteristics, and criminalized attacks based on these personal characteristics, as well as incitement of hatred and intolerance based on the same. This paper presents the criminal offense of inciting national, racial, and religious hatred and intolerance, within the framework of constitutional and particularly criminal law. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the legal framework and the provision of the offense in the legislation of the Republic of Serbia, the actions and methods of committing this criminal offense. Additionally, attention is given to the analysis of motives and reasons, as well as the consequences of committing this offense, questions of causality and possibilities of concurrence with other criminal offenses. Some important characteristics of this criminal offense are also discussed, such as: place, object, time, perpetrator, and form of guilt for the execution of the crime.

Criminal offenses against official duty with a focus on the object of the criminal offense
Статья научная
The very title of the group of criminal offenses against official duty reveals their object of protection, which is the conscientious and responsible performance of official duties. However, these criminal offenses endanger various protected values, such as citizens’ freedoms and rights, their physical and psychological integrity, their property, and others. In this context, the distinction between the object of the act and the defined object of protection for this group of criminal offenses becomes evident. This means that it is necessary to differentiate between the immediate object targeted by individual criminal offenses within this group, the socalled object of attack, and the established object of protection, which is the general value being safeguarded. The subject of this paper is the analysis of legal norms related to individual criminal offenses with a focus on distinguishing between the object of protection and the object of the act. In this regard, we will compare the elements of certain criminal offenses against official duty, primarily those in which the objects of the act differ, while the object of protection, according to their classification, remains the same. The aim of the paper is to determine whether the existing criminal offenses against official duty, with reference to the object of the criminal offense, are properly systematized within this group of criminal offenses, and to explore possible ways to address the identified shortcomings.

Da li sudije stvaraju pravo ili ga samo primenjuju?
Статья научная
Ovaj rad obrađuje pitanje sudskog stvaranja prava, kao jedno od retkih pitanja u pravnoj nauci koja su izazvala toliko interesovanja, nesporazuma i kontraverznih mišljenja. U pravnoj teoriji postoje oprečna shvatanja o mogućnosti stvaranja prava sudskim presudama, koji pored mnogobrojnih razlika imaju i zajedničke dodirne tačke. Mi smo prilikom postavljanja cilja ovog istraživanja ostali skromni i zadržali se u onoj problematici koja ne prevazilazi domen nauke, pa smo i postavljenom cilju prilagodili strukturu rada, u kojem smo analizirali sudsku presudu kao izvor prava, poredili sudsku presudu sa formalnim izvorom prava, odnosno zakonom, i bavili se ujednačavanjem sudske prakse u pravosudnom sistemu Republike Srbije.

Deliktna odgovornost pravnih lica
Статья научная
Istorija delikata je poznavala fizička lica kao jedine subjekte koji su, svojim konkretnim postupcima, činili različite vrste pravno-nedozvoljenih ponašanja. Kazniti se mogao čovek koji je preduzimanjem ili propuštanjem radnje proizvodio zabranjenu posledicu. Međutim, razvoj industrijalizacije i ekspanzija privrednih aktivnosti dovela je do osnivanja pravnih lica, odnosno privrednih subjekata. Oni su stupali u različite vrste pravnih odnosa u čijoj osnovi je bila želja za sticanjem profita. U tom kontekstu dolazi do pojave prvih oblika pravno-nedozvoljenih delatnosti pravnih lica koje se odvijaju u finansijskoj sferi. Krajnja posledica protivpravnih postupaka pravnih lica sastojala se u nanošenju enormno velike štete koja je prevazilazila onu koju su mogli učiniti ljudi kao subjekti deliktne odgovornosti. S obzirom da je pravoverni pratilac društvenih zbivanja prirodno je da se pravnim uređenjem delatnosti pravnih lica nastojalo odgovoriti njihovim pravno-nedozvoljenim ponašanjima. Otuda deliktnu odgovornost pravnih lica možemo podeliti na: prekršajnu, privredno-prestupnu i krivičnu. U Srbiji je prethodne decenije premijerno uvedena krivična odgovornost pravnih lica čime je naša država svrstana u red pravno uređenih evropskih zemalja. Međutim, time nije isključena njihova odgovornost za prekršaje i privredne prestupe kao posebne oblike deliktne odgovornosti. Polazeći od navedenog, autor želi ukazati na osnovne elemente sva tri oblika deliktne odgovornosti pravnih lica u našem pravnom sistemu. Redosled izlaganja biće usklađen sa momentom njihovog uvođenja u naše pozitivno pravo. Zato će najpre biti reči o prekršajnoj, a zatim o privredno-prestupnoj i krivičnoj odgovornosti pravnih lica.

Deprivation of parental rights and “the best interest of the child”
Статья научная
In contemporary times, children are recognized as holders of their own rights, which is a departure from past practices. The state delegates authority to participate in and intervene in family matters through designated guardianship bodies and local courts. The deprivation of parental rights carries significant and enduring consequences for both parents and children, with the entire process governed by the legal principle of the best interest of the child. Unfortunately, the “best interest of the child,” while a widely used concept, lacks precise legal definition, potentially leading to adverse effects on the child’s psychological and physical development.

Upbringing of a child and choosing a method, consciously or unconsciously, has existed since parenting. The aim of this paper is to present the choice of a violent method in upbringing – a corporal punishment of a child, the way how it affects a child’s development and consequences it can cause. Having in mind the complex and sensitive character of the phenomenon, the topic was explored from the aspect of a legal science, but also from the point of non-legal disciplines, such as psychology, sociology of a family and pedagogy. Observations of the achivements from the point of a child`s psychology are of an exceptional importance for the analysis of the consequences that a corporal punishment has on a child. The conclusion indicates that, although the family environment is the most desirable environment for a child, the choice of violent methods in education affects the proper growth and development of children, and it can lead to both temporary and permanent consequences related to a child`s mental and physical health as well as its emotional development. There are difficulties in determining how violent parenting affects a child’s emotional and physical safety and health, unless the result is a more serious physical injury or death. Although the responsibility lies primarely with the family and the activities of the parents, in practice, the most desirable approach is a close cooperation of all adults working with children, including educators, doctors and the whole society.

Digitalization strongly affects the economy and society as a whole in different dimensions. The process of digitalization of the Business Registers Agency, including the registration procedure of business entities, is one of the priority tasks aimed at increasing efficiency and economy as well as economic prosperity in general. Certainly, there is a prerequisite referring to the existence of digital literacy, which is not an isolated category, but rather a superstructure of earlier forms of literacy. It is undeniable that every innovation arises as a privilege of the higher social classes, which, by inertia, turns into a need of the others. In this paper, it has been analyzed the legislative framework of electronic registration of business entities. Starting from the point of view that economic growth, competitiveness on the market, and socio-economic development represent the nowadays necessity, the authors, through this paper, primarily try to define the achieved progress of the work of the Business Registers Agency (BRA) in registering business entities in the digitalization process. The quintessence of this work is the identification of the availability of digital tools for the registration of economic entities, as well as their quantification and qualification.

Dinamika ekonomskih reformi - uloga sive ekonomije u zemljama u tranziciji
Статья научная
Transfromacija bivših socijalističkih zemalja Evrope privukla je ogromnu pažnju svetske naučne zajednice, kako iz akademskih tako i iz ekonomskih i političkih razloga. Poučeni iskustvom zemalja latinske Amerike koje su par decenija ranije prolazile kroz sličan period paralelne demokratizacije i transformacije u otvorene, tržišne ekonomije, mnogi stručnjaci su tada predvideli teška vremena za tranicione zemlje Evrope, upozoravajući na destabilizacioni efekat koji proizilazi iz simultanog odvijanja ova dva procesa i njihovih unutrašnjih sukoba. Posledica toga je da se većina analitičara i savetnika dala u zagovaranje nekog oblika 'insulacije' izvršne vlasti od većinske volje, 'depolitizacije reformi' ili implementacije radikalnih ekonomskih programa koji isključuju mogućnost povratka na stari kurs. Danas, sve manja izlaznost na izborima i učestali izlivi javnih protesta i demonstracija od strane politički ekstremnih ili zapostavljenih grupa stanovništva izazivaju zabrinutost iz potpuno suprotnih razloga. Paradoksalno, jedno od najozbiljnijih pitanja u regionu danas je upravo pitanje, zašto protesta nije bilo, i zašto to može biti loše za kvalitet, a možda i stabilnost post-tranzicione demokratije i privrede uopšte. U ovom radu se kao razlog neobične trpeljivosti građana post-socijalističkih zemalja ističe uloga i razvoj sive ekonomije i razvija teza da upravo ovaj fenomen konstituiše mehanizam, koji pomaže stabilizaciju sveukupnih reformi ali i doprinosi njihovom nižem kvalitetu.

Diversion model of responding to juvenile delinquency and the role of the social welfare system
Статья научная
Advocating for the widest possible diversionary response to juvenile delinquency is a general trend and a key tendency of modern juvenile criminal law. Scientific research and the focus on the best interests of the child strongly support the aforementioned facts. However, there is arisen a question concerning the fact how the general and abstract support for diversion and suspension of criminal proceedings, and transferring the juvenile offenders to the social welfare system, is reflected in everyday practice. Therefore, the paper starts with some introductory considerations about the concept and positive aspects of the diversion model, followed by the review of certain criticisms addressed to it. We devote the central part of the paper to the analysis of data related to Serbia and the social welfare service in Belgrade, in order to test the hypothesis of insufficiency of support for the diversion model in practice. The aim of this paper is to conceptualize recommendations for improving the practice of dealing with juvenile offenders in the juvenile justice system. We used an analytical-synthetic approach with the use of content analysis, normative, comparative and descriptive-statistical method.

Статья научная
Ekonomska uloga i značaj drumskog saobraćaja u privredi većine nacionalnih ekonomija bitna je komponenta razvoja i instrument ostvarivanja finansijskih sredstava. Pravni instrumenti, kao sredstva za ostvarenje cilja, treba da su tako postavljeni da doprinose pravnoj uređenosti i sigurnosti nacionalne ekonomije, da se međusobno ne isključuju nego da doprinose razvoju drumskog saobraćaja, brzom i bezbednom prevozu robe i ostvarivanju ekonomskih efekata. Savremeni tokovi prometa zahtevaju kombinovanje različitih vidova saobraćaja i razvijenu saobraćajnu infrastrukturu ali i harmonizovana pravna pravila, dokumentaciju i obeležavanje vozila u drumskom saobraćaju, evidencije o efikasnosti troškova maziva i goriva u sistemu poreza na dodatu vrednost, ujednačena pravila prevoza u drumskom saobraćaju za sopstvene potrebe i dokumentaciju koja se drži u vozilima.

Ovaj rad analizira proces primene i usvajanja zajedničke transportne politike Evropske unije od strane zemalja zapadnog Balkana kao veoma važan korak u uspostavljanju kako boljih međusobnih veza i odnosa ovih zemalja, tako i njihovog približavanja Evropskoj uniji. Kvalitetnija prekogranična trgovina i saradnja zemalja zapadnog Balkana je važan element budućeg razvoja ovih država. Značajnu ulogu u ovim procesima imaju i deregulacija i liberalizacija tržišta transporta. U ovom radu se razmatra trenutna situacija na polju zakonske regulative transporta u regionu, kao i transportna infrastruktura, pogotovo uloga Dunava kao evropskog i regionalnog saobraćajnog koridora. Poređenjem podataka o stepenu korišćenja rečnog saobraćaja pokazuje se da ovaj resurs nije iskorišćen na zadovoljavajući način, ali i da predstavlja značajan potencijal na koji treba računati u budućnosti.
