- Summary/Abstract: The original concept of the social work institution has justified its name not only through providing direct social services to users and their families, but also through initiating and organizing various activities in local communities. This affirmative role of the centers for social work has contributed to quicker adoption of legal recommendations. Further development and organization of professional work in the centers for social work have been crucial in the realization of the stipulated functions. Since 1981, these centers have assumed the entire mediation process between spouses, and recently they have also included working with refugees and their families. Having in mind the pronounced crisis, it is necessary to introduce new methods and processes of work for the social service to function more efficiently. The centers for social work are increasingly becoming key institutions that provide support not only in the resolution of traditional social problems, but also in facing new challenges such as digital inequality, mental health, family violence and other forms of social crises. Such extension of activities also requires continued improvement of social workers’ capacities, adjustment of the work methodology and establishment of cooperation with other relevant institutions in order to respond adequately to increasingly complex needs of the users of social work services. The paper elaborates the fact that the centers for social work, due to technical, technological, economic, migrant and other changes, show that changes in the organization and functioning of their services are also justified. Apart from individual work with users and their families, it is also necessary to protect more individual users of social protection and to determine common reasons, besides personal ones, which have led to the need for protection and the application of social action at the level of local and broader communities. Moreover, it is necessary to affect the causes leading to a certain social issue and to prevent its further expansion. The analysis points to the need for strengthening professional and organizational capacities in the centers for social work, taking into account the increasing number of users and the scope of work. This includes a larger number of professional workers (social workers, psychologists, pedagogues), having in mind the newly-introduced authorities and increased complexity of jobs. There is an evident staff turnover in the centers for social work, partly due to the natural fluctuation caused by retirement, but also due to other reasons, which aggravates timely action and task performance within the legally prescribed deadline.

- Summary/Abstract: Restructuring is a rather extensive and specific legal institute. In everyday speech, it means to rearrange something. In the legal sense, restructuring can be understood in many ways. In the economic sense, it is about technical-technological changes within the business entity. In the second context, restructuring is any form of change within a business entity, while in the third context, it is a status change specified by business regulations. In addition to the above, restructuring is possible in bankruptcy proceedings, i.e. before the grounds for bankruptcy have been established, then simultaneously with the initiation of bankruptcy proceedings and later through a specified plan by which the debtor will be restructured in a way that even though the grounds for bankruptcy have been met and bankruptcy is started, and the debtor will stay in economic life. The purpose of this paper is to give an explanation of and key differences between all the institutes above. In this paper, we will also make suggestions about the need for a clear demarcation in terms of understanding restructuring, so as not to create doubts in the legal and economic life of the Republic of Srpska

- Summary/Abstract: International financial potential through funds from international creditors and foreign direct investments in Serbia have played an important role since the economic opening to the world after the democratic changes in 2000. A lot of hope was placed in the funds of international financial organizations and FDI as an instrument of economic policy, as a mechanism that can accelerate economic growth and development in an environment with low domestic savings, lead to the replacement of outdated technology and absorb a large number of unemployed people who were losing jobs during the transition, i.e. privatization of inefficient state enterprises. Since 2006, various political structures and Governments have started with a special subsidy program for investments, although it is a program whose effects the majority of the domestic professional public has a negative opinion of. This program is still being carried out with undiminished energy, and politicians are regular guests at ceremonies for the opening of new industrial plants. Serbia and foreign capital have undoubtedly had positive effects on the entire economy of Serbia, including not only the revitalization of already existing former state-owned enterprises through brownfield (such as Fiat Automobili Srbija in Kragujevac) but also the construction of completely new greenfield investments (such as Continental Automotive in Novi Sad). , it seems that they did not fulfill all the hopes and expectations that were placed in them. despite a fairly high inflow of international capital, where Serbia is the regional champion measured by foreign direct investment in relation to GDP, the economic growth rate of Serbia is still quite insufficient.

- Summary/Abstract: Safety, in a theoretical-practical sense, is understood as a state, organization, function and system. As a state, security is valued in an amplitude of values whose poles are: completely safe and completely unsafe. It is a fact that absolute security does not exist, that is, that every security reference object is threatened to a certain degree. For a long time, the only (key) threat to security was war. However, during the Cold War, the concept of security was expanded from purely military to other sectors, such as political, economic, social and environmental. Thus, the security of the reference object can be threatened by a whole corpus of threats, which are basically divided into military and non-military. In the last few decades, among the numerous challenges, risks and security threats, organized crime stands out. Although acts of crime are evident, both nationally and internationally, organized crime remains undefined, which makes it particularly difficult to prove. This is also due to the fact that in the various classifications of acts that constitute organized crime, different activities are implied. In this paper, the state of organized crime is analyzed through selected criminal acts - threats to security, such as human trafficking - trafficking, narcotics trade and arms trade. The aim of the research is to prove that organized crime in the world has been increasing in the last few years. The work was created as a result of research for teaching purposes, as well as the preparation of the diploma thesis of the first author of this article, which was defended at the Faculty of Business Studies and Law in Belgrade in early 2024.

- Summary/Abstract: The Republic of Serbia has been an autonomous and independent state since 2006, created in the breakup of the former SFR Yugoslavia. In its foreign policy orientation, Serbia was originally oriented towards Euro-Atlantic integration (NATO and EU). Since 2007, Serbia has proclaimed military neutrality (NON-NATO), and has maintained its strategic commitment to EU membership. The European Union was formed in 1992 by 12 European countries. The EU enlargement process is determined by regulations, which are constantly changing. Serbia’s accession negotiations with the EU began on January 21, 2014, and after 10 years it is difficult to determine whether they are closer to the end or the beginning. By the regulations and established procedures for the admission of countries to the EU, additional conditions are constantly being imposed on Serbia, which make its path towards the Union uncertain. The conditions that the EU sets for Serbia are partly in contradiction with the national interests and goals of our country. This paper analyzes the path of the Republic of Serbia towards the European Union. The goal of the paper is to determine the conditions that Serbia needs to fulfill in order to complete negotiations on admission to the EU. The basic hypothesis from which the work started is as follows: in the accession negotiations with the Republic of Serbia, the European Union sets conditions that are partly compatible, and partly contrary to the national interests of Serbia. The work was mostly created as a result of the defended master’s thesis of the first author. The master’s thesis was defended at the Faculty of Business Studies and Law in February 2024.

- Summary/Abstract: The goal of this research is to identify, scientifically describe, classify and partially explain weaknesses in the application of analysis as an executive function of the Intelligence-led policing model in the Republic of Serbia using scientific research methods. The conducted theoretical research identified problems of a functional nature using the executive function of analysis, which can be classified as follows: 1) traditional (reactive) way of applying analysis about modern proactive models using modern analytical tools, 2) differences in the theoretical definition of data analysis and information, 3) the quality of entered statistical indicators in electronic databases. The executive functions of the Intelligence-led policing model are performed through the criminal-intelligence process, which is an evidentiary tool for analyzing the actions of all forms of criminality, misdemeanours and other security-interesting incidents and enables decision-making based on the collection, processing and analysis of data, as well as the undertaking of preventive measures. A key role in law enforcement intelligence operations is the application of the analysis function, which leads to the improvement of quality based on the previous functions (collection and processing), which contributes to the greater use value of data in further work of criminal police. The research was carried out as a theoretical-empirical one, where the methods of theoretical and empirical research (attitudes and opinions of police officers in the police of the Republic of Serbia) were used, that is: general scientific, logical and empirical methods. In this research, the standpoint that the analysis function can be improved is confirmed both theoretically and empirically, which requires the following (functional) changes: 1) it is necessary that the analysis be carried out using modern analytical methods, such as AnaCap, OIAT, risk and threat analysis, with focus on proactivity, which affects the efficient and effective creation of analytical products; 2) the quality of statistical data entered into electronic databases and the amount of prepared operational reports and information predominantly influence the application of the analysis function and the quality production of analytical products. The scientific justification of the research derives from its expected results, which can: 1) contribute to the deepening and expansion of scientifically verified knowledge in the field of criminal-police, security and organizational scientific disciplines, 2) indicate the directions, areas and topics of future scientific research and 3) enrich the methodological practice of scientific research on the organization and proactive functioning of the police in modern conditions.

- Summary/Abstract: The danger of nuclear attacks and warfare with the use of nuclear weapons is increasingly present. Fears of nuclear attacks and nuclear wars have been fueled by the conflict that has been raging for a long time in the territory of Ukraine, where the use of nuclear weapons has been speculated since the beginning of the conflict. In the paper itself, the subject of the author’s interest is the action of civil defense in case of nuclear conflicts and dangers. The essential question is whether the harmful consequences of nuclear action can be reduced. In order to give the most precise answer to this question, one must start from several important components of the attack itself, namely the question of its scope, the question of the aim of the attack, the question of the place where the nuclear attack took place, what the weather conditions are like at the time of the attack and immediately after him, paying special attention to the strength of the wind and the direction of its movement. In the end, the important question is whether the attacked party has time for a warning. During preventive action, potential moments and locations of nuclear weapons attacks must be calculated. The calculations are called scenarios and their goal is to predict the possibility of an attack, but also the possibility of defending against an attack. Scenarios must be created realistically, with maximum respect for all objective and subjective factors. Unfortunately, this is not the case in practice. Scenarios are almost always created on the basis of assumptions, unnecessary drama is accentuated, political and propaganda platitudes are used, which ultimately results in the creation of unusable scenarios. As an example of a sensationalist prediction of a possible nuclear attack, the well-known example of the so-called attacks on Trafalgar Square in London. If one had thought a little better, it would have been clear to everyone that Trafalgar Square could not be a realistic target of a nuclear attack. Also, the form of manipulation of nuclear attacks is the justification of unilateral attacks on the nuclear facilities of countries that have and are developing nuclear weapons. At the same time, the targets of the attack are not chosen based on realistic parameters, but to justify the value of the set assumption. In order to avoid these malicious mistakes, one must start from realistic knowledge about the beliefs, intentions and military potential of a potential attacker. This knowledge must be incorporated into the assessment of attack types and attack locations.

- Summary/Abstract: In modern society characterized by globalization processes and continuous development of technique and technology, unfortunately there is a progress of organized crime and commission of a variety of criminal acts. States on domestic and international level strive to provide conditions for the most effective fight against crime through normative approach. The legal and correct way to fight perpetrators of crimes is criminal prosecution, where any form of assistance to state authorities represents a great support. Testimony is one of the most important ways of gathering evidence in criminal proceedings. Therefore, author deals with witness as a person who possesses certain knowledge about committed crime and perpetrator. Author defines the term witness and indicates the importance of testimony for a legal court decision. Also, the paper describes examination process and highlights the necessity of witness protection during criminal proceedings. In this sense, the roll of the state authorities is pointed out, which have the task of providing conditions for the witness to feel comfortable during testimony, that will result in obtaining useful information on the basis of which the criminal sanction prescribed by the law will be imposed on the accused person. Testimony is rightfully considered one of the most important means of gathering evidence and its application goes back to the distant past. During the criminal proceedings witness has the obligation to tell nothing but the truth, which will ensure conditions for the court to make a legal verdict. Therefore, it is not surprising that in XXI century there is a whole series of rights and obligations that regulate the position of witness, as well as other subjects that are part of the criminal proceedings. By providing guarantees to the witness that he/she will feel safe during the testimony the state simultaneously sends message that it has necessary capacity to provide protection to persons who decide to give assistance to competent institutions in the fight against organized crime and all other illegal acts.

- Summary/Abstract: In this paper we propose an integrated model leading to the causal interpretation of sustainable development. By applying financial management, environmental and corporate social responsibility (CSR) principles both private and public sectors must adequately respond to sustainable development challenges in three causality areas: profit, people and the planet. This is of particular significance during increased environmental risk in sectors such as agriculture. Global society has high expectations from companies which became an increasingly powerful factor influencing the quality of people’s lives. The evolution from “shareholders” to “stakeholders” capitalism with pronounced climate changes contributes to this paradigm. Therefore, the modern knowledge economy requires economic, financial, environmental and social sustainability from companies. A company must be aware of the environmental and stakeholder impact of its activities. Good corporate governance should also incorporate a clear strategy with a financially sustainable approach to different resources, acknowledging the need for recycling, waste management, pollution reduction, anti-corruption and employee protection. This directly impacts financial performance, reduces risks of hidden costs from loss of reputation, environmental and labor disputes and negative media campaign. Disputes cause a negative societal reaction; threaten people’s health and the ecosystem with great material damage. The potential for effective conflict management is evident and requires a change of consciousness, adequate management expertise and strong political support. Effective management mechanisms are modeled by the authors in a three-pronged integrated approach towards sustainable business development incorporating three decision trees of environmental and social problems, corporate solutions, and financial solutions.

- Summary/Abstract: On the subject of “intelligence services...”, quite a few authors begin their scientific works with quotes about the ancient existence of these services and cite the legend of “Moses and his instructions to his emissaries to go to the land of Canaan and investigate the way of life there.” Some authors state that the intelligence “services” date even earlier and provide information about “a spy named Banum from the state of Mavi on the Euphrates River”. As part of the security system, the security community, all countries, even the smallest or less stable ones, have their own intelligence service. Lege artis, every state creates an intelligence community, which consists of several related services (in recent times of the agency type), whose goal is to ensure the security postulates needed by the state in preserving its statehood and taking positions in the current conduct of state policy (internal and external). In the available literature, with the aim of processing the topic, approach and thinking about the definition of the intelligence service, there is an explanation from before that it is an “organization of a class character”, that it uses a specific methodology in its work, has its own principles of work, and was formed as an organization which is authorized to, among other things, protect the security of the state whose system it is a part of. In principle, all intelligence services work according to two basic principles: territorial and linear, which are then further divided into constituent parts (organizational units). From the creation of the state as a community until today, the “services” have continuously evolved in all matters (capacity of employees, directions of action, work methods, etc.). From a historical point of view, in addition to important state tasks based on the Law and by-laws of the given state, certain deviations, omissions, and deliberate violations of business discipline were also recorded, which negatively affected the rating of the entire intelligence community, including the state in whose system it functioned. Open interferences in the internal politics of other, usually small states, have also been recorded. Today, all over the planet, according to the available information and sometimes really justifiably, with a cursory insight into the actual situation, we witness the existence of modern intelligence agencies with enviable business results, and with the aim of comprehensively informing users apostrophized by the Law and by-laws in the given country.
