At the turn of November 2018, the next local elections were held in Poland. However, this time, along with the next term, a number of new legal arrangements and structures have been implemented as a result of the adoption of the Act of 11 January 2018 on amending certain laws to increase the participation of citizens in the process of electing, functioning and controlling certain public bodies. The legislature has set itself the objective of adopting solutions to enable and facilitate greater influence for members of local and regional communities, especially in legislative and executive bodies of local government units. Some of these changes affect the executive body in the municipality (local government commune), i.e. village mayor (town mayor or city president), affecting the change in its scope and powers.

The article examines the probability of achieving the self-imposed criteria for Turkey to become a macro-regional power by 2023. The author analyses components of variables in Davutoğluʼs equation of power and the results of the “zero problems with neighbours” policy as an essential prerequisite for Turkey becoming one of the poles of power at the global level. Presenting the state of progress in military industries, in the development of technological infrastructure and in the economy, the author assesses the limited progress and failure to materialise the country’s expected goals. After years of progress in various fields, the leading AKP party is now troubled by conflicts inside and outside the country. The author concludes that Turkey will not be able to realise its 2023 strategy due to combination of failures in internal, foreign and economic policies.

The taxation regime of the micro-enterprises incomes is amended starting with the 1st of January 2023, according to the Government Ordinance No. 16/2022 for amending and supplementing the Law No. 227/2015 on the Fiscal Code, the abrogation of normative acts and other financial-fiscal measures. The micro-enterprises income tax becomes optional. We are witnessing the redefining of the microenterprises and the exceptions regarding the entities that can apply this regime and the amendment of the rules for exiting the micro-enterprises income tax application. Changes include the reduction of the achieved incomes ceiling to 500,000 Euro, the elimination of the 3% tax rate, the obligation that the company should have at least one employee, the limitation of the number of micro-enterprises owned by the same shareholder/associate. The ordinance clearly states the tax decrease order of the fiscal facilities. Likewise, the companies applying the specific tax in 2022 are provided with the possibility to select the payment of the micro-enterprises income tax starting next year.

Keywords: synod; synodality; Ecclesiology; youth; synodal process; Synodal Church; Christus vivit
Pope Francis is very concerned to transform the Church through synodality. He has chosen the synod of bishops as the main tool for this reform. This paper shows how the functioning of the Synod of Bishops, which the pope has profoundly transformed, puts this project of a synodal Church into effect. From this point of view, the process of the 2018 synod on youth is an example of how synodality is transforming the Church. By taking the steps of this process step by step, the paper shows how the practice of synodality is deeply transforming the Church and how the synod of 2018 paves the way for the synod of 2023 on the synodality of the Church.

Year 1993, the beginning of the work of the Islamic Pedagogical Academy in Zenica, the first meeting with Prof. Ajanović. It was that a time of personal confusion, great pain and unquestionable communitarian identification with Bosnia and the Bosnian language Muslims. We were the professor's assistants, we studied the first steps of the academic journey from prof. Ajanović. Beige arrogance, without highlighting the difference in our academics titles, prof. Dževdeta shaped our beginnings patiently, gently and with trust. If we gave later to his assistants, at least the essence of the essential human, that is from prof. Ajanović, she taught us that.
