Child sexual abuse is one of the most severe and extreme forms of child abuse. Child sexual abuse leaves long-term consequences in children, causes severe physical and psychological harm as well as affects the development and the future of the child. Today, in the contemporary world, one of the effective forms for the prevention of pedophilia is considered the registration of persons convicted of criminal offenses of pedophilia in a special register. The main purpose of registering these perpetrators is the possibility for the general public to have access to this data in order to know these persons (pedophiles) and to be able to prevent the possible actions of these persons. The Republic of North Macedonia has taken such a step, in accordance with these trends, where in 2012 the online portal for perpetrators of criminal offenses of child sexual abuse was launched. In Albania, the Law on the National Register of Child Sexual Abusers is expected to be adopted very soon, proposed mainly by the non-governmental sector and organizations for the protection of children from sexual abuse. This paper aims to address the experience in the RMV and review the draft law of Albania, to highlight the need to incorporate a special register of pedophiles in the Republic of Kosovo, given the statistical data that speak of large number of these crimes in recent years

Social disorganization means the loss of social control, or the creation of a legal vacuum, where comes to a state of organizational chaos, the imbalance of social order and disregard for social norms, where the efficiency of institutions is paralyzed or lost, and consequently social disorganization prevails. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the point of views of some authors in the field of sociology and criminology who argue the connections of the social disorganization theory with new theories on one hand, and on the other hand give critiques of this theory. A specific purpose is to compare the findings in the research of these authors to explain the various factors that influence the occurrence of social disorganization. Due to the complexity of the research, several methods are used in this paper such as the method of analysis and synthesis, the methods of induction and deduction, and considering the analysis of the social disorganization theory, also the comparative method is used in this paper. These methods will be used to support each other in overcoming the problem during testing the social disorganization theory. This paper will serve as an aid to sociologists, criminologists, professionals in the field, and those interested in learning more about the social disorganization theory

There is no evidence that Kosovo rivers have ever been navigable, but river valleys have played a role as a road artery in the concentration of social and economic activities in coastal areas, namely in the processes of literalization. Due to its position, Kosovo is bridge between the seashores and continent within the Mediterranean basin in the part of southeastern Europe. Kosovo with its rivers mostly belongs to the Black Sea watershed, but in this paper will be emphasized the relations to the Adriatic and Aegean area due to the close distance and specific social, economic, cultural links extended in these spaces throughout history.

Competition policy plays a crucial role on regulating, supervising, and monitoring the market. However, companies in hub and spoke cartel engage in collusive activities to control the market and its competitors. Effective cartel collusion requires a strict coordination between parties on the scheme, monitoring for compliance of the scheme, with added incentives to comply, while punishment for breaching compliance. Under US law, parallel price setting is illegal and along with other evidence like meetings with competitors, exchange of information, control of market and any other collusion with respect towards harming the consumer is considered a violation, while European commission competition law is based on “Article 101 of the Treaty, which prohibits an agreement among two or more operators towards restriction of competition”

The aim of this study is to provide a critical overview of labor market performance in North Macedonia. The findings suggest that the differences of labor markets in transition and advanced economies are shrinking over time and labor market flexibility is significantly affecting the unemployment rate. The findings confirm that North Macedonia suffers from a rigid labor market with several structural imbalances: high and persistent structural unemployment, skill shortages, skill mismatches, brain drain, persistent discrimination in the labor market, high informal economy, and inadequate labor taxation. Specifically, low skilled workers, especially, women, youth, older workers, ethnic minorities, and people in less developed regions are among others suffering high rates of unemployment. The findings suggest that high and persistent level of unemployment in Macedonia may arise due to the insufficient level of capital to employ the labor force, the stagnant structural reforms to address macroeconomic imbalances and still unfinished transition characterized by poor economic growth. We recommend to policy makers to implement structural reforms that would address current structural imbalances and increase labor market efficiency and would in turn result in higher potential for economic growth in North Macedonia

Digitalisation of the economy has exceeded its original boundaries and expanded to all areas of social life. In addition to all the benefits of digitalisation, it also creates risks of malicious use of the electronic information potential. Cyber security should play its part to prevent electronic information network and system intrusions, misuse of information, and to ensure smooth and secure information flow. Research design of this paper is the set of three research methods used in collecting legal information about cyber security regulation and analysing findings. First approach is descriptive analysis of legal regulation. Second method is desktop analysis of recently adopted legal acts. Third research method is observational study. Synthesis is presented in the conclusions. Legal regulation of cyber security refers to protecting the data and information systems against unauthorised access, use, disclosure, disruption, alteration, or destruction. Cyber security is concerned with the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data regardless of the form the data may take electronic, print or any other. The Law of Minor Offences will apply to minor offences in the field of cyber security about “general” issues: liability of the perpetrator, imposition of sanctions, minor offence proceedings, etc., whereas the provisions of special legislation, more specifically, the provisions of the Cyber Security Law and the Electronic Communications Law, will apply to the identification of an act as a minor offence. However, in accordance with the lex specialis derogat legi generali principle, the general provisions of the Law of Minor Offences will apply only if such issues are not regulated otherwise by the Cyber Security Law and the Electronic Communications Law.

The aim of the paper is to review academic papers on financial technology (FinTech) to identify how banks are going to survive in future against FinTech revolution of non-banks. Therefore, the paper summarizes the findings of existing literatures in this emerging sector and highlights the lessons for the FinTech firms, banks, regulators, and other stakeholders of FinTech across the world. The systematic literature consists of 13 closely relevant studies on FinTech. The paper suggests that introducing own online platform, acquisition of non-bank fintech competitors or partnership with these firms can protect banks from future survival against FinTech challenges. The paper demonstrates that academic papers are rare in the field of non-bank’s FinTech revolution and bank’s future survival that indicates huge potential for further research to be conducted by several stakeholders in FinTech industry specially academia, practitioners, and regulators. The paper is expected to add value demonstrating the key findings of existing literatures and summarizing significant lessons for the banks, non-bank FinTech firms, investors, policy makers and regulators.

The two decades of confrontation by the generation of the Republic with the Serbian state terror and other two in liberty, in the face-off with modern fascists, prove the political power and justice, not only of that generation, but of the very idea of a democratic Republic and in the service of the ideal for unification. The vertical stand of the ideologies of this generation and later also of the descendants of the same ideal, such as: Hydajet Hyseni, Ukshin Hoti, Ibrahim Kelmendi, Bajram Kosumi, Fadil Vata, Afrim Zhitia, Behadin Hallaqi, Sabri Kicmari, Albin Kurti ... is the strongest guarantee for the liberation of the Republic even from "our" modern fascists.

Much has been said and done since the Republic of North Macedonia became an EU candidate country. The Republic of North Macedonia deserves progress in moving closer to the European Union and NATO, avoiding obstacles on this path, and starting negotiations. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the path that Macedonia decided to follow long time ago. The Government of the Republic of North Macedonia remains committed to the reforms related to the date for the opening of negotiations for membership in the European Union, despite the recent decision of the EU, as well as NATO membership, first to ensure fair governance, stability, economic development of the country and better life of the citizens. Failure to set a date at a time when North Macedonia has received the most positive report so far, with the recommendation to start talks was a blow to the institutions and the country, primarily due to the closure of one of the most sensitive issues, that of changing of the name. Thus, not giving the date can open many issues, it may eventually return nationalism, radicalism, populism that do not bring progress. The possible consequences for the state are low motivation for reforms, fostering a climate of political division, and even a possible political crisis
