The article approaches new issues about the transition to sustainable development from the perspective of sustainable public procurement. Achieving sustainable development is one of the most urgent issues confronting all of the countries around the world. The goal is to ensure economic revival and, at the same time, to protect existing resources and the environment, taking account of the interests of future generations. Sustainable development also includes the stability of the main socio-economic and environmental indicators of economic system. At the same time, the sustainability of economic growth also presumes a set of conditions, factors and regulatory measures which provide the stability of final indicators due to economic balance. In this context, the authors point out on the fact that one of the most effective mechanisms for implementing sustainable development postulates at state level is through sustainable public procurement. Being the largest buyer on the market, the state is able to influence producers and consumers through public procurement and promote sustainable production and consumption. The practical implementation of sustainable procurement promotes the stimulation of green production, resources recycling, stimulation of the activity of small enterprises and the creation of new jobs. Thus, public procurement truly contributes to sustainable development.

Environmental crime is dangerous in terms of the scale of the implications and the impact area. The resonance and specifics of environmental crimes require a special approach to the prevention and investigation of these crimes. The aim of the article was to systematize measures to prevent (counteract to) environmental crimes. The aim involved the following methods: statistical analysis, correlation analysis, generalization and analogy, hypothetico-deductive model and system-structural approach. Fundamental measures to prevent (counteract to) environmental crimes are defined. The countries with the largest and smallest number of environmental crimes were identified, including China, India, Vietnam, Belgium, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Poland, and Germany. The relationship between the number of environmental crimes for 2015 to 2019 and the environmental tax relative to GDP for the period, as well as the number of environmental crimes for 2015 to 2019 and environmental protection expenditures was determined. Measures aimed at the prevention (counteraction) of environmental crimes are systematized, which consist of three interrelated levels: national, international cooperation and cooperation with the public, public organizations. The prospect of further research is to determine the organizational aspects of criminal law counteraction to cross-border environmental crime.

The article reveals and systematically shows the publishing activity of the Inštitut Karantanija (the Carantania Institute) in Ljubljana, which was founded by dr. Lovro Šturm over 15 years ago. His personal commitment is the reason for Karantanija’s ability to actively support the publishing of extensive professional literature from the fields of economics, law, political science, philosophy and history. The meaning of these publications is evident in the fact that they are mainly from the Slovenian professional and scientific circles, that they were written by authors who were until recently less known and that they deal with the views on important social and humanistic issues that were published in the Slovenian language for the first time. The common point of these authors and publications is in emphasising the meaning of the respect of freedom, human dignity and ethics for the correctness and effectiveness of the operation of institutions, legitimacies and any type of actions of individuals in all fields of professional and public activity.

This article reflects on the role that Hungary has played with respect to the Ukrainian refugee crisis. It elaborates on two issues. The first is Hungary’s relatively amicable relationship with Russia and how the Hungarian political elite has approached the Ukrainian crisis in view of its domestic political goals. The second is the migration policy that Hungary adopted when faced with the arrival of irregular Middle Eastern refugees and the mitigations in this policy to respond to the Ukrainian arrivals. The paper discusses the evolution in the governance of migration in Hungary and the actors and the politics underpinning the Hungarian reception policy from the perspective of these two issues. In this context, it draws on the literature on leadership and how the latter affects political contexts and social realities, particularly with respect to migration politics.

The Act on Family Support and Foster Care System was introduced in Poland ten years ago. Accordingly, this seems to be the right time for an assessment of the level of organisation and funding of social services in terms of supporting families with a child by Polish municipalities. This article aims to depict the development process of family assitance in Polish municipalities. Empirical research focuses on the opinions of family assistants regarding the support provided by gmina authorities and the management of organisational units of social assistance where they are employed. The results of the research showed that family assitance in the form of a supportive and educational activity, with a high organisational level and good working conditions – as outlined by the original concept – is implemented only in some areas. The care and control approach to work, together with functional assistantship based on simple activities meeting the basic needs of families, are increasingly enforced on family assistants by the management. The aspirations of assistants – who form a professional community – to apply the therapeutic dimension of assistantship are being squandered. The Polish municipalities lack sufficient funds to employ adequate numbers of family assistants.
