  • Keywords:Ohrid Framework Agreement; inter-ethnic dialogue; committee; commission; local administration
  • Summary/Abstract:Eight years after delivering Ohrid Framework Agreement, inter-ethnic dialogue is still high on the national agenda in our country because the process of its building and promotion was subject to difficulties, conflict and setbacks. One of the formal instruments for inter-ethnic dialogue on central level provided in the 2001 Constitutional amendments was the Committee for Inter-Community Relations. The Committee should be a place for discussion of policies and promotion of policy ideas for good inter-ethnic relations, but during the whole period of the functioning of the Committee for Inter-Community Relations the political tensions from the Parliament were reflected in this body. It functioned as “little Parliament” and did not have strength to open debate on important issues which could had disturbed the relations between partners in the governmental coalition. As instruments for inter-ethnic dialogue on local level this paper analyses the commissions for inter-community relations. The structures of these commissions have been created to accompany all municipal work in order to institutionalize inter-ethnic dialogue and to function in a preventive rather than reactive manner. But even when they have to act in reactive manner, the problems of inter-ethnic character are directed to the local political leaders than to the commission. Practically even the local administration bypasses the commissions.

  • Keywords:performance appraisal; traditional and contemporary systems of performance appraisal; civil service structures of BiH
  • Summary/Abstract:Over the past decade all civil service structures of Bosnia and Herzegovina have made important strides in establishing civil service performance appraisal systems. First Rulebooks on performance appraisal which were adopted by the Civil Service Agencies in BiH were based on traditional European models of performance appraisal, with a number of general, standardized performance criteria. However, due to problems experienced with the implementation of the traditional model of performance appraisal in practice most civil service structures in BiH have started reforming their performance appraisal systems by introducing working objectives/target agreements as an important criterion for performance evaluation. However, in order for the performance appraisal system to be effective it is important not only to establish a sound legal ground and observe its implementation in practice, but also to make an in depth change in the management of public administration, which assumes existence of trust between managers and civil servants, dialogue, transparency of operation and mutual respect.

  • Summary/Abstract:European Union gives extraordinary importance to developing preconditions for e-government, in its strategic documents. Great number of ongoing programmes, or ones planned in near future, encompass promotion of e-government. Reform of national legal systems and existence of clear national strategies and action plans of egovernment, as well as harmonization of legal acts in this area, are necessary prerequisites for achieving e-government at the EU level. SEE countries also give great attention to development of e-government and harmonization of their legal acts in this area with ones of European Union. Harmonization between regulation of SEE countries and EU has been achieved in great degree, but implementation of legal solutions is not being accomplished on same pace in all of SEE countries. It is necessary that those existing differences should be overcome. All strategic documents of SEE countries contain plans for harmonization of all aspects of legislation and implementation for the rules concerning electronic government, so it is expected that even better results will be accomplished in near future.

  • Keywords:freedom of religion; Constitution; church; religious community; legal personality
  • Summary/Abstract:Freedom of religion is not only individual right, but also freedom that is enjoyed in community with others. In this paper the author analyses the institutional or corporate dimension of freedom of religion, its constitutional and statutory regulation in the former Yugoslavia countries. In all constitutional systems, churches and religious communities are separate from the state. Legal regulation of the institutional dimension of freedom of religion is based on the notion that churches and religious communities are subjects of corporate religious freedom. Their legal identity is determined, inter alia, by their religious identity. The acquisition of legal personality of churches and religious communities is carried out through their registration in specific administrative procedure, but the continuity of action of some churches and religious communities and the special status of traditional churches and religious communities are recognized by the law in several countries. Legislations of the former Yugoslav republics recognize the special character of legal personality of churches and religious communities. That special character is in function of maintaining the cooperation between state and churches and religious communities which exists in the public domain and which is not excluded by the constitutional principle of separation of state from the churches and religious communities.

  • Keywords:business law; models of convergence; harmonization; Macedonia; European Union
  • Summary/Abstract:Traditionally, the Commercial (Business) law in Macedonia is comprised of three main parts: 1) company law (legal business forms); 2) commercial contracts; and 3) securities and payment instruments. All Commercial law constitutive parts, at the moment, are on different level of harmonization with the EU Law, although they cannot be analyzed independently from each other. Although the general perception might be that the Company law part should be the most harmonized due to the globalization and erasure of the world or European trade boundaries, the situation in practice is not as expected. Comparatively, the formal and the functional convergence of the national with the EU law are the two basic harmonization methods. The formal convergence means nothing else but harmonization of substantive and adjective legal rules by formal activity of the national legislator (the national parliament). Although the most certain, this approach seems to be the most difficult, mainly because of its openness to political lobbying and pressure from the opponents for such convergence. The formal convergence might be achieved by using several techniques: via (in)direct transplants of company and similar laws; through convergence motivated by political dictate, such as the ongoing formal convergence of the EU member states laws by implementing or enforcing different EU directives or regulations.

Thus, the party autonomy remains the basic connecting factor in this field though now it is more elaborate following the Rome I Regulation provisions. However, party autonomy remains excluded in the field of contract relating to a right in rem in immovable property or to a tenancy of immovable property, except for tenancy of immovable property concluded for temporary private use for a period of no more than six consecutive months. The party autonomy is also the basic principle, but with some particular features in: contracts of carriage, consumer contracts, insurance contracts and individual employment contracts.

  • Summary/Abstract:The paper deals with the concept of improving regulatory environment and the implementation of the regulatory reform strategies. The EU has set itself the strategic goal of becoming the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world. Achievement of this goal depend in part on improving Europe’s regulatory environment to avoid unnecessary burdens on businesses, citizens and public administrations. Therefore, high quality regulation must be seen as a public good and action must be taken at both EU and national levels within a comprehensive strategic approach to realize it. After introductory notes with regard to the importance of the regulatory reform, the author analyses the Mandelkern report. The high-level Advisory Group was formed in December 2000 when 16 experts were appointed to it, representing each of 15 countries of the Union and the Commission. From the time it was formed, it was known by the name of its Chairman, M. Mandelkern. Better regulation is a drive to improve the policymaking process through the integrated use of effective tools, not an attempt to impose further bureaucratic burdens on it. Many Member States have elaborated ambitious regulatory reform and/or simplification programs and have developed a wide range of tools, based on EU and OECD guidelines or on successful experiences from other countries. It recommends practices in topics applicable to both national governments and the European Commission. The second part of the article is dedicated to the presentation of implementation of the regulatory reform strategies in the following countries: Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. Within the concluding observations, the author sums up presented observations and especially emphasizes the importance of improving regulatory environment.

  • Summary/Abstract:National sports legislation in South East Europe countries is complex and differs from country to country. During the years, it became almost a rule that most south and the east European countries have adopted an interventionist sports legislation model. That model is also applied in the Republic of Croatia. Within this artice laws regulating sport and sport related activities in Croatia were analysed and presented. Croatia applied interventionist sports legislation model that makes their legal framework regulatin sports comparable with Serbian legal framework reulilating sports. Serbian Law on Sports is very obsolete and the legislative practice of countries like Croatia could be a good example of how the reform of legal framework regulating sport should be performed. Although performed analysis and presentation of Croatian laws regulating sports contribute to the process of proper evaluation of the quality of current Serbian Draft Law on Sports and even though Croatian Law on Sports represents a good practice in conducting regulatory reform that could be followed by Serbian legislator, it is necessary to stress that automatical takeover of any foreign model and simple copying of foreign laws, without taking into account about specific needs of the Republic of Serbia and conditions in which is its sports system, can lead only to creation of ideal theoretical model that would not have a big chance to be efficiently applied in practice.

  • Summary/Abstract:Special investigation methods nowadays represent evidence procedures that are most suitable to cope with contemporary crimes, their characteristics, perfidy and sophistication. The experiences of many countries have constituted the rule that in cases of particularly serious crimes it is necessary to use the data provided using various forms of electronic surveillance, secret agents, controlled deliveries, testimonies of cooperating witnesses and other methods in order to increase the efficiency of investigating bodies and to reduce the time required to provide evidence. All countries that used to constitute the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia two decades ago prescribe special investigation methods and the procedures of their application in their national legislations today. In these countries they are considered important as evidence procedures which are used both to detect and prove the crimes that have been committed as well as to prevent the planned serious crimes, in cases when other measures and activities fail to yield success. It is the impression that the satisfactory legal regulations in this field have not yet been found, which is suggested by frequent amendments to laws on criminal proceedings in all countries mentioned in the paper within the context of regulations related to special investigation methods. This is not particularly surprising if we bear in mind that these investigation activities invade deeply into the sphere of guaranteed freedoms and rights of citizens.

  • Keywords:arbitration; source of law; arbitration tribunal; arbitrators; arbitral proceeding; arbitral award; judicial review of arbitral awards
  • Summary/Abstract:In this paper laws regulating arbitration in Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska were analyzed and presented. Above listed countries were member states of the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and their arbitration rules and procedures were regulated by Civil Procedure Law which has been applied as a federal regulation. Nowadays, those countries have their own national laws regulating arbitration and arbitration proceeding. Within the first part of this article national sources of arbitration law were presented and in relation to them two different legislative techniques were recognized. Those two legislative techniques are the following: the first is applied both in Serbian and in Croatian legal system where all the relevant rules were comprehensively prescribed within a specific law regulating arbitration; the second is applied in other legal systems where rules on arbitration are prescribed by general law regulating civil procedure. The central part of this article is dedicated to comparative analysis and evaluation of quality of the particular legal norms which are dealing with the following issues related to arbitration procedure: arbitrability; when the arbitration is international; arbitral agreement; arbitrators and arbitration tribunal; arbitral jurisdiction; rules of arbitral proceeding; arbitral award and judicial review of arbitral awards. The review of relevant regulations of Western Balkan Region showed that previously listed issues are regulated in two different ways within national legislation. Within the first group of countries are the ones whose national legislation is based on the principles promoted by UNCITRAL Model Law on Arbitration. The second group comprises states and their national legislation which kept, with minimal amendments and novelties, rules previously prescribed by Civil Procedure Law of the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The states representing the first group are Serbia, Croatia and Montenegro, as well as Macedonia regarding legal norms regulating international trade arbitration. Within second group of states are Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska and partly Macedonia, taking into consideration Macedonian rules on national arbitration. The conclusion of this article presented opinion that the states from the first group established good legal and institutional conditions for development and promotion of arbitration, while the states form the second group haven’t recognized a need for changes in that field, despite doubtless international success of arbitration as a legal institution.

  • Summary/Abstract:Paper examines the level of compliance of the legal framework of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the relevant international and especially European standards on the prohibition and prevention of illicit trade in cultural goods. Given the ongoing stabilization and accession process, a special emphasis will be placed on the compatibility of the legal system of BiH with the Council Regulation (EC) No 116/2009 on the export of cultural goods, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 752/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3911/92 and Council Directive 93/7/EEC, on the return of cultural objects unlawfully removed from the territory of a Member State. Authors further identify legal gaps and internal inconsistencies within the domestic legal framework that give rise to legal uncertainty having detrimental effects on the coherence of BiH legal system. Authors conclude that certain aspects of the BiH legal framework in the area of fighting against illicit trade in cultural goods should be significantly amended as to meet the given EU standards, as well as to comply with the ratified international and regional conventions in the given field. Finally, the need to join the UNIDROIT Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects is identified as to improve the BiH legal framework for preventing and fighting illicit traffic in cultural property.

  • Keywords:Republic of Macedonia; Constitution; constitutional changes; depoliticisation of judiciary; fight against corruption
  • Summary/Abstract:On 7 December 2005, the Assembly of the Republic of Macedonia adopted the fifth amendment to the Constitution since it had been passed on 17 November 1991. The amendments XX-XXX (eleven amendments) primarily refer to judiciary. Actually, as requested by Brussels the objective of the adopted amendments was to achieve depoliticisation of judiciary, what was a prerequisite for the future accession of the Republic of Macedonia to the European Union. As early as on 16 December 2005 Macedonia gained the status of EU candidate country although the date when the negotiations would commence “remained open”. In essence, the important new items that are aimed at depoliticising judiciary and facilitating fight against corruption imply the abolishment of immunity to numerous officials. Therefore, unlimited immunity in Macedonia is enjoyed only by the President of the State (in accordance with the Article 83), Prime Minister (Article 89, paragraph 3), members of the parliament (Article 64), judges (Article 100, paragraph 1) and judges of the Constitutional Court (Article 111, paragraph 2). By all this, it should be pointed out that the activities of the Constitutional Court are regulated by the special chapter IV of the Constitution (Articles 108-114), which are not included in the regulations on courts. Therefore, it enjoys a special status. All others that have been privileged so far – ministers, members of the Judicial Council and state prosecutors – do not enjoy immunity any longer. What is essentially new is that judicial immunity has not only been maintained but has even been strengthened by the introduction of indemnity – which is not time limited for their statements in theprocedure. Also, there are new things that concern the Judicial Council of the Republic of Macedonia, being “the personal management judicial body”. In the same way, “the Council of State prosecutors” has been established, and it is the personal management body for state prosecutors that is responsible to the Judicial Council. Therefore, the last constitutional amendments (XX-XXX) adopted on 7 December 2005 (Služben Vesnik 107/2005 – Official Gazette 107/2005) treat judiciary amending the Articles No. 13, 15, 84, 89, 91, 100, 104, 105, 106 and 108 of the Constitution of the Republic of Macedonia.

  • Keywords:non-material damages; compensation of non-material damages; contractul responsibility; personal rights of legal entities
  • Summary/Abstract:The question of non-material damages has always been the main issue in legal theory and still is the subject of interest in legal doctrine, nowadays. We can come across with different concepts about non-material damages in European countries legislation, which lead to various solutions of some relating legal problems, such as compensation right of legal entities. Compensation right is usually recognized in the field of non-contractual responsibility in most legal systems, but the question whether or not this right is recognized in the field of contractual responsibility still arises. The reason why this question is of great importance in our legislation is that it is very hard to say without any doubt whether or not our legislator recognizes compensation right in the field of contractual responsibility. In that sense, there is a big gap between our theory and judicial practice. Besides, comparative overview of legislation in former Yugoslavia countries about non- material damages is of great importance for upcoming changes in our legislation in the process of harmonization with European Union law. For comparative analyze of regulation of non-material damages, some legal solutions of Montenegro, Slovenia and Croatia are taken into consideration.

(Mistake and its Relation to the Contract Cause)

  • Language:Serbian
  • Subject(s):Civil Law
  • Page Range:512-527
  • No. of Pages:16
  • Keywords:essential mistake; misunderstanding; cause; voidable contract; void contract
  • Summary/Abstract:The Legal systems we dealt with within this work in, practically, identical way, regulate the institution of mistake, with small aberrations that are more of formal than of fundamental nature. Stating the cases in which mistake would be of a vital importance, it is firstly stated that mistake would be definitely essential, and then, by stating one basic rule, it is predicted in which cases, beside those that are clearly stated, mistake would be essential. If there is an essential mistake on the occasion of signing the contract, it will lead to the disturbance of contract cause, hence the contract would be voidable. It is as well anticipated by all the laws we dealt with within this work, that the contract will not be signed unless contractual parties believe that they are concurrent, but, in fact, there is a misunderstanding about the nature of agreemen (contract) or about the cause or the grounds of the contract ( i.e. about the nature of the law or any other important part of the contract), in which case the cause will be omissioned and, for that reason, contract will be void.

  • Keywords:Constitution; amendment; political institutions; entity; complex state
  • Summary/Abstract:The Constitution of the Republic of Srpska has been passed in specific historical circumstances. Its major intention had been establishment of legal ground for than newly established Republic of Srpska. That goal has achieved recognition in the General Framework Agreement for Peace and Constitution of BosniaHerzegovina as its annex. Short period for drafting the Constitution as well as political and international situation meant that constitution-makers needed to rely on some foreign modern constitutional documents, including some of other Yugoslav republics in order to break with communist constitutionality. That approach speeded adoption of the Constitution but in the same time did not take into account constant changes of position of the Republic of Srpska, involved into bloody civil war in former B-H as well as domestic problems in construction of its own legal system. These factors led to deviations from the original constitutional concept and many alternations and supplements. After the war High Representative and status of the Republic of Srpska as an entity of Bosnia-Herzegovina have become new in constitutional development. Special attention in this paper is on numerous constitutional revisions and US-styled amendment technique as chosen way for them. This paper opens old question whether Republic of Srpska needs a new constitution to complete 18-year long constitutional development of Srpska.

  • Summary/Abstract:In this paper author analyzes the legislations of the Republic of Croatia, the Republic of Montenegro and the Republic of Srpska in the topic of the bankruptcy of the insurance companies. In the Republic of Croatia, this topic is regulated by the Act of insurance. But, the Bankruptcy Act of Croatia regulates basic rules in this proceeding. In the Montenegro exists, also, separate Act in this topic. But, that Act regulates, only, the bankruptcy and liquidation of the insurance companies. And, in the Republic of Srpska some elements of this topic, we can find in the Act of the companies of the insurance. Also, like in Croatia, the Act of the bankruptcy proceeding of the Republic of Srpska regulates other, basic, rules in this proceeding. In the Republic of Serbia, this topic is regulated by the separate Act. This Act is the Act of the bankruptcy and the liquidation of banks and insurance companies. The bankruptcy proceeding of the insurance companies is very complex and this topic must be regulated by separately Act. Also, the legislator must take into a consideration about the specifics of the activity of the insurance, the status of the insurance companies and the different types of the insurance. Besides that, very important is the making difference of the subjects who doing the activities of the insurance from the subjects who doing some activities which are connecting with the insurance. These activities are the representation, the agency, the services in the insurance, etc.
