The system of the financial management and control (hereinafter referred to as: FMC) in the public sector and the Ministry of Defence of the RS (hereinafter referred to as: MoD) should focus on the principles of economy, efficiency, effectiveness and publicity, with the legal use of public funds, aimed at supporting the management in business improvement. Hence, it is necessary to continuously improve the FMC, not to allow problems to arise, but to detect potential risks through controls and take preventive actions, in order to improve business. The objective of the paper is to emphasize the importance of the financial management and control in the public sector, and also in the Ministry of Defence as one of its ministries. Methodologically, analyses and syntheses, comparisons, inductions and deductions of business and FMC for the last five years in the public sector of the RS are included. On the basis of this research and the considered functioning of the FMC, good and bad experiences in normative regulation and in practice, problems have been identified with proposals for its improvement in the public sector and in the MoD of the RS. The improvement proposal has been made by analysing the reports of the Ministry of Finance and the State Audit Institution (hereinafter referred to as: SAI), by researching the operations and functioning of the FMC in the MoD.

Cilj ovog rada je da ukaže na nacin na koji teroristicke grupe koriste internet kako bi podstakli individualne radikalizacione procese i kako se oslanjaju na specificne prakticne mogucnosti koje im on pruža. U radu se analizira i pojedini nacini na koje teroristi koriste internet kao deo svojih sirih medijskih strategija, gde se analizira online kampanje za regrutovanje, kao i koriscenje interneta u cilju olaksavanja radikalizacije ekstremistickih grupa. Analiziraju se, takođe, i aktuelni stavovi o strahu od radikalizacije preko interneta, kao i o njenim uzrocima i procesima.

During the bipolar period, insurgencies were most often considered as a way of fighting for liberation from colonization, repression and other forms of political violence. However, its features as a foreign policy tool were also noticed, so at the unipolar geopolitical moment they gained greater importance. Due to such a variety of manifestations, many definitions of this complex form of political violence have emerged. The problems that researchers encounter in searching for the essential features of the concept of insurgency are semantic and substantive because it is difficult to define what insurgency is, in relation to what it is not. However, the definition of this (and every other) social phenomenon is necessary because it defines its main and constant features, structure, as well as the differences from other similar phenomena. In this way, preconditions for a common approach and joint action in solving social problems are provided. In our search for a valid definition of insurgency, the characteristic features in dictionaries, encyclopedias and lexicons have been critically compared. Also, legal (in national and foreign statutes/laws and in international humanitarian law), military (doctrinal) and research definitions have been analyzed, in order to consider the problem of defining this concept and submitting a proposal for an objective and explicit definition. After analyzing the concept of "insurgency" it can be concluded that insurgency in our lexical discourse is "an armed way of expressing dissatisfaction or disagreement with the policy pursued by the government". Besides motive, doctrinal documents emphasize other important characteristics of this phenomenon, primarily violence, political basis, illegality and its (at least initially) illegitimacy. The genus proximum, or the first term of a higher order in relation to insurgency is political violence, and insurgency differs from other forms of political violence in terms of complexity, illegality, mass and other characteristics. Recognizing nonnegativity, objectivity, content, essential precision, complexity and accuracy as features of a good definition, researchers have differently defined this social phenomenon, but it can be noticed that available definitions only partially meet the mentioned criteria. Some of the definitions emphasize goal or motive (taking over political power, overthrowing the legal order, mastering resources, implementing party policy, changing the constitutional order, etc.). Others emphasize activities or method (subversion, military pressure, coup, etc.). The third group of definitions emphasizes the features of this phenomenon (unconstitutional, violent, ideologically motivated, etc.). Based on the abovementioned, it can be concluded that insurgency, as a complex form of political violence, is difficult to define precisely, so that its definition achieves a broad consensus.

Solving the Kosovo-Metohija issue is a long-term problem that is of great scientific and social importance, both for the immediate participants in the dialogue and for the Balkans. The paper discusses the potential of education as an aspect of soft power, which can serve as a tool for establishing a "new climate" between political officials in Belgrade and Pristina. The main hypothesis of the paper is that education, as one of the aspects of soft power, has broad potential in solving the Kosovo-Metohija issue. The scientific methods of content analysis - historical and quantitative method will be used in the paper. The main objective of the paper is to improve relations and communication between Belgrade and Pristina in relation to this issue, through educational cooperation. Recommendations for the execution and development of educational cooperation, which can contribute to the improvement of the situation and the achievement of positive outcomes acceptable to all participants in the Kosovo-Metohija dialogue have been presented. Soft power is imposed as an effective solution for achieving harmonized interests, peace and stability.

Small states that base their defence strategy on the concept of total defence, even if they do not defeat a stronger opponent militarily, and in the course of an armed conflict deny the enemy an absolute victory according to their criteria, and at the same time protect their national interests, can consider such an outcome victory. Victory at strategic level is conditioned, and not entirely determined, by military victories at tactical and operational level. Claiming victory at strategic level is a qualitative and political perception of state leaders, while at a lower level it is mostly the subject of quantitative analysis by military commanders. By analysing the content of strategic and doctrinal documents, scientific publications, and then by comparative and historical analysis of the concepts of strategy and victory, their relationship and understanding in different historical eras has been shown. The historical comprehension of victory in the Republic of Serbia since the restoration of statehood in the 19th century until today has been particularly analysed. A multiple study (R. Serbia 1999-2022; Afghanistan 2001-2021; Iraq 2003-2022) in which the defenders' successes were analysed after the attack by an asymmetrically stronger armed force led by the US Armed Forces, has served as the basis for scientific generalisation and making a final statement about victory and the concept of total defence. By understanding that the strategic victory of the weaker in an asymmetric conflict is achieved by relying on armed forces, and above all by the synergy of all elements of national power, the conditions are created to get out of conflicts under favourable conditions with as few human and material losses as possible.
