A prerequisite for the development of the local community are different forms of citizen participation in achieving goals of interest to the local community and meeting their personal needs at the local level. Citizens can participate in the local community activities directly or indirectly. The direct participation in local life is exercised on the basis of strictly formal legal framework, including civic initiative, referendum, and citizens' assembly. The quality of the relationship between the local community and the citizens largely determines the degree of citizens’ indirect participation in political life. This paper will address the mechanisms of citizen participation at the local level, with specific reference to public debate and public hearings as mechanisms enabling citizens to participate in local decision-making processes, draw attention to problems and difficulties, and insist on the obligation of local self-government bodies to transparently implement some procedures envisaged in the 2018 amendments to the Local Self-Government Act. The paper also elaborates on other forms of citizen participation, such as consultations, information requests, petitions, surveys, and other available forms of citizen participation in public life.

The law regulates the right to maintenance between spouses and between extramarital partners, the conditions under which it can be exercised, as well as a special litigation procedure for obtaining the right to maintenance. The existential character of the right to maintenance stresses the need to examine the functional quality of the established legal mechanism. The author has conducted an empirical research on maintenance litigation proceedings between spouses and extramarital partners which were conducted before the Basic Court in Niš and finished during the year 2018. In this paper, the author presents and analyzes the results of research in litigation proceedings for establishing and varying the maintenance amount, and terminating and extending the duration of maintenance between married or unmarried, current or former partners. The aim of the research was to gain insight into the adequacy of applying relevant legal regulations in practice and the efficiency of providing legal protection in analyzed maintenance lawsuits. The research results reveal the inefficiency of maintenance litigation proceedings and a serious lack of information among citizens about the procedural possibilities in maintenance lawsuits.

The subject matter of this paper is the bankruptcy of socially-owned enterprises. The aim is to examine the implications of bankruptcy proceedings against socially-owned enterprises on the budget of the Republic of Serbia and its taxpayers. The starting hypothesis is that the bankruptcies of socially-owned enterprises will have a significant negative impact on the budget of RS and its taxpayers. In order to test this hypothesis, we used the technique of descriptive statistics to determine the differences between the Commercial Courts in Belgrade, Niš and Kragujevac in terms of the average duration of bankruptcy proceedings, the maximum and minimum duration of cases, and the percentage of cases pending over four or three years. In addition, we provide a hypothetical calculation of the costs of the bankruptcy proceedings of all socially-owned enterprises in the three commercial courts in case the objection for the protection of the right to a trial within a reasonable time has been affirmed. The results show that there are no significant differences between the three commercial courts in the time dimension of the bankruptcy of socially-owned enterprises, given the fact that the vast majority of cases exceed the reasonable time limits and that such lengthy proceedings will significantly burden the RS budget.

This article presents the difference between legal norms and legal principles. The author’s viewpoint is based on the differentiation between regulatory, systemic and teleological legal attitudes in the legal order of a state of law (Rechtsstaat). The conceptual framework of legal principles entails constituent laws and different areas of a legal order. Unlike legal norms (as subject-specific regulating legal attitudes) and legal standards (as the most general legal attitudes), legal principles are radiating teleological legal attitudes. Moreover, being the result of systemic and teleological concretisation of written law, legal principles as basic teleological legal attitudes are shaped as bundles of teleological legal attitudes and legal conceptions. In the order of a legal state, legal principles have a circular flow in the operation of the legal order, which is determined by the complementary roles of the institutional order of public authority, the institutional order of state authority, and the institutional order of a territorial community. It necessarily brings to light the difference between the fundamental legal principles of a legal order and the legal principles governing different areas of a legal order. This article analyzes the aspects of systemic and teleological understanding of legal principles, particularly considering the distinctive nature of legal principles as sources of law. Legal principles are also viewed as canons directly developed in jurisprudence, within the framework of the “internal legal system” based on legal forms.

This paper examines the DIFC Practice Direction No.2 of 2015, which provides a possibility of judgment conversion into an arbitral award. In certain cases, this mechanism allows a judgment to become the basis of an arbitral award if parties agree to refer a 'judgment payment dispute' to arbitration. As a result, it would be possible to enforce an award rendered in this procedure under the New York Convention. In the beginning, a short overview is given of the organisation of the DIFC Courts and the Arbitration Center, their main features, and the enforcement of the DIFC judgments and arbitral awards abroad. Following is a detailed interpretation of Practice Direction No.2, the suggested arbitration clause and the referral criteria, their evolution, and the drafter's intention hidden in its wording. The last part deals with controversies in the use and the effect of Practice Direction No. 2, especially the negative effect of the elimination of the review of a judgment, the possibility of the arbitral tribunal to rehear the dispute, and the risk of double recovery. Notwithstanding the feasibility of the application of the New York Convention to enforce an arbitral award resulting from the use of the arbitral clause recommended in Practice Direction No. 2, the use of this mechanism would have an eliminating effect on the review of due process and public policy, which would normally be performed in a court exequatur.

Legal treatment of family relations was long based on the traditional concept of family, as a union of two people of different gender, who raise children while married. Hence, the legal protection mechanisms were focused only on such unions while others, like same-sex partnerships, unmarried couples, couples without children and single parents, were left aside legal recognition and protection. This was reflected in not recognizing the right to private life, provided by Art. 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR), to these untraditional unions. Notably, in the last decades, there has been a significant progress in overcoming the traditional concept of family and adjusting the law to the contemporary reality of family life. The activities of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR)are largely contributing to these efforts.

The author deals with culpability as a subjective element of the general notion of a criminal offense, which must be an integral part of every indictment and the operative part (disposition) of the judgment of conviction. First, the article presents the theoretical understanding of the notion of a criminal offense as accepted by the Serbian legislator and the notion of culpability in Serbian criminal law theory and current legislation. Then, the author focuses on the content of indictments filed against the accused person, including the prosecutor’s recommendation for imposing criminal sanctions against a juvenile offender, and the content of the judgment on conviction, with specific reference to culpability as an essential element of every indictment and the judgment on conviction. The author further analyzes the issue of the subjective and objective identity of the indictment and judgment in theory and legislation, with focus of culpability and existence or non-existence of a violation of the identity of indictment and judgment in case of entering culpability into the disposition of the judgment on conviction. Finally, the author provides examples from the practice of higher-instance courts in Serbia and a critical standpoint on the legal reasoning in the decisions where the court found a violation of the Criminal Code, given that the scope of an indictment has been exceeded in terms of culpability.

The Book Forensic Evidence: Science and the Criminal Law is intended to serve as an introductionand guide to the appreciation and understanding of the significant historical, contemporary, and future relationship between the world of the forensic sciences and the criminal justice system. This book is not intended to be a close study of forensic science, nor was it ever conceived as becoming one. It is devoted to a study of the judicial response to uses of forensic science in all phases of criminal procedure. The audience to which this study is directed are those intimately or potentially involved in that relationship: police, forensic scientists, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and professors and students- future lawyers.

This piece of work is an overview of gender mainstreaming in military components of the UN POs . Main hypothesis is if more attention is given to gender perspective and gender mainstreaming in POs that could vastly contribute to operational efficiency in the field, to better protection of human (women’s) rights, to the higher level safety of the troops in the field and local population, and the most important, peace could be built on solid basis and victimization could be avoided up to maximum possible extent. Main identified gap is lack of appropriate training and education in this regard. Analyses of recent developments in POs, UNSCR 1325, gender policy in military components and historical aspects of gender roles in Western society, are considered through feminist approach to international law perspective which was introduced by Christin Chinkin in 1991

The military profession has always been regarded as a typical male profession. This understanding is the result of numerous prejudices in the ability of women to adequately respond to all the challenges that they carry with this service. In the past, it seemed that there was no place for women in the Serbian Army. Women who wanted to serve their homeland in this way were forced to conceal their gender identity. This is also evidenced by the example of the First World War hero Milunka Savić, whose true identity probably remained undetected if she was not wounded. The paper deals with the position of women in the Serbian Army nowtodays, the futures they face and the perspectives for their resolution. The Serbian Armed Forces have made an important step towards greater involvement of women in their ranks, when it is approved that female can be engaged in the duties of officers, non-commissioned officers and professional soldiers in the same way as men. The aim of the paper is to point out the directions of the development of the position of women in the Serbian Army, especially considering the process of its professionalisation.
