Eco-extremism

Eko-ekstremizam

Author(s): Aleksa Simić / Language(s): Serbian

Keywords: Ecological degradation; climate changes; environmental protection; extreme groups; environmental initiatives; eco-terrorists; eco-extremists

Ecological degradation and climate changes in the past decades have caused the growing concern of citizens and the formation of many movements for environmental protection. However, along with legitimate activism, radical and extreme groups have emerged that use violent methods to advance their goals. In recent years, there has also been a significant increase in environmentally motivated violent incidents, which can lead to the delegitimization and criminalization of justified environmental initiatives. Serbia is no exception in this regard. Thus, in the last few years, environmental initiatives have appeared that oppose lithium mining in Serbia, which the authorities called eco-terrorists and eco-extremists in order to discredit them. Therefore, it is important to clearly distinguish radicalism from extremism in order to support democratic activism while preserving community safety.

The concept of Protean Power

Koncept protejske moći

Author(s): Milica Marinkovski / Language(s): Serbian

Keywords: protean power; international relations

The concept of protean power is a new concept in international relations. It was designed by Peter Katzenstein as a response to the traditional concept of control power. This concept got its name "proteus" after the Greek god of the sea, Proteus, who was known for his gift of predicting the future, but also for avoiding giving answers to queries by changing his shape, so he predicted the future only to those who would manage to catch him. So Proteus often left the other party in suspense. Proteian power is exactly like that, because it tries to take advantage of uncertainty and to adapt to the new situation.

Special Public Prosecutor's Office in North Macedonia

Specijalno javno tužilaštvo u Severnoj Makedoniji

Author(s): Jovana Maričić / Language(s): Serbian

Keywords: Public Prosecutor's Office; North Macedonia;

The Special Public Prosecutor's Office (hereinafter SPO) in North Macedonia was established by the Law on Public Prosecution for criminal prosecution in cases related to the content of unauthorized interception of communications in 2015 (hereinafter the Law on SPO). This prosecutor's office was established after a series of scandals involving the illegal wiretapping of thousands of political and state actors, which revealed a high level of corruption in the country. Then-opposition leader Zoran Zaev released a series of audio clips - what he called "bombshells" - in which top government officials are heard planning to rig votes, buy off judges and punish political opponents. It was established as a temporary institution where the Law on SPO is valid for 5 years from its adoption and can be extended once every subsequent year (for one year) by a two-thirds majority vote in the Parliament if there is a need for it. The law also stipulates that the function of the SPO ends upon completion of all investigations and prosecutions within its mandate.
