Evidence from the EncroChat and SKY ECC encrypted phones
Authors: Bajović Vanja
Published: November 2022

Technological development and new forms of crime require redefinition of existing legal frameworks at domestic and international level. EncroChat and SkyEcc cases highlighted these problems, throwing the courts before the old Packer's dilemma, whether to give priority to crime control or due process model. While the protection of citizens' rights prevailed for many years, guided by the maxims that "the democracy of a society is measured by the provisions of its criminal procedure" and that "it is better 100 guilty persons to escape than that one innocent person suffer" it seems that in the era of information technologies, another model prevails, legitimizing almost unimaginable concepts such as mass surveillance of communications with derogation of the principle of territorial sovereignty. The "problem" escalated and came to the attention of many European countries after the "breaking" of the communication platforms EncroChat and SKY Ecc, which certainly contributed to the detection (and prevention) of numerous criminal acts by criminal groups, while at the same time opened many questions, starting from the method of discovering communication, delivering material to other countries and using it in criminal proceedings, the validity and admissibility of the so-called of "mass surveillance" that affects not only "criminals" but also "ordinary citizens", i.e. all users of certain communication platforms. The first part of the paper deals with the issues how these networks were break down, the legal basis for such actions, the legal basis for providing the obtained data to other countries, their evaluation and further use in criminal proceedings. As different countries have different procedural rules, the question is whether a domestic judge is authorized to evaluate the legality of evidence obtained abroad and according to what criteria? In this regard, a distinction is made between EU member states where European investigative orders and the principle of mutual recognition apply and other countries in the system of mutual legal assistance in criminal matters. In the second part, we deal with the legal nature of the obtained data through the dilemma of whether it was targeted surveillance in criminal proceedings, or mass surveillance carried out by the intelligence services, as well as the ECtHR's practice related to these issues. Bearing in mind that these investigations are still under the "veil of silence", the study was based on Europol/Eurojust data and few publicly available decisions of courts in Germany and the United Kingdom about the admissibility of these evidence.
Certain questions of incrimination of preparation of criminal offense
Authors: Vasiljević Dragana
Published: November 2022

The stages of commission of criminal offense have raised a number of questions. The merits of the discussions dedicated to this issue mostly include the problem of demarcation of generally unpunishable preparatory actions and attempts of criminal offenses. However, it is no less important to pay attention to the aporia that refer exclusively to the stage of preparation of a criminal offense. Primarily, it is noticeable the abundance of pro et contra arguments for punishment for actions at this stage. Then, the models of incriminating preparatory actions are different. Legislation regulating this institute in the provisions of both the general and special part is identified, as well as legislation that does so only through incriminations. And within of these constellations legal solutions are not identical. In addition to the above, the paper discusses whether the incrimination of actions from the stage of preparation of a criminal offense is really the ultima ratio in modern criminal law.
The application of metaheuristic algorithms in multi-objective optimization of engineering problems
Authors: Miodragović Goran , Bošković Marina , Bulatović Radovan
Published: November 2022

Comparative testing of three modified metaheuristic algorithms - the cyclic algorithm of the bat family (Loop BFA), the hybrid cuckoo search and the firefly algorithm (H-CS-FA) and the modified krill herd algorithm (MKH)was performed in the paper. The authors tested these algorithms in relation to original ones and the effectiveness of the modifications was confirmed for each individual algorithm. Here, the effectiveness of all three algorithms was verified on two engineering problems in the field of metal cutting - optimization of the body of the turning knife and optimization of the eccentric of the clamping tool. In both cases, multi-objective optimization with two objective functions was performed. By comparing the obtained optimization results as well as the speed of convergence, appropriate conclusions about the efficiency of the algorithms and recommendations for their application were made.

Published: November 2022

Masonry is common used for classic building construction, but is known for its seismic vulnerability. The existing regulations in Serbia (Eurocode) demand control of the behaviour of masonry buildings exposed to seismic actions. For this it is most convenient to use, for engineering purposes, non-linear static (pushover) analysis. With the aim of increasing knowledge about the seismic behavior of different structural configurations created by upgrading an existing residential two-story masonry building, a comparative study was conducted on four different proposed models. This paper presents the most significant results of pushover analyses performed on a spatial model of the structure of the existing building that needs to be upgraded and on spatial models of the structures with an additional floor level and different positioning of vertical confining elements while evaluating their seismic capacity in compliance with the regulations. Two different lateral load distributions are assumed in computation since the appropriate lateral load profile is not always obvious. Based on various approaches, there are different identified responses.
Jamato Takeru: Japanese hero between myth and history
Authors: Vasić Danijela
Published: November 2022

Yamato Takeru is one of the most famous Japanese heroes. He has a carefully chosen name, which connects him with the state of Yamato, the predecessor of today's Japan. He is characterized by all the features of a mythical hero: courage, strength and ingenuity, but mythological story includes also fairy-tale motifs such as a miraculous sword, helpers, disguise, falling in love, and finally, supernatural death due to encounter with a numinous force. The oldest variants of the myth about this fearless warrior we can find in the first Japanese historical chronicles (8th century). Adding certain elements to the common ground and combining them in accordance with their own narrative aspirations, these texts gave their own recognizable variants of the myth of Yamato Takeru, which were a clear reflection of the ideology of the time. Regardless of the differences, these variants describe the achievements of Yamato Takeru as a key turning point, because in that semi-historical time that is also the beginning of national consolidation. By "calming and subduing" western and Eastern countries, he contributed to increasing the territory under imperial rule and strengthening the authority of the Yamato court. In the following centuries, new variants of the myth about this hero were created on these bases. Some are focused on territorial conquests and spreading of the influence of the imperial government, while the miraculous events related to the Kusanagi sword were more important to the others. Recently, Yamato Takeru has been used, in the same way as the other national icons, to create and highlight Japanese national identity, especially when it came to inspiring the people to selflessly lay down their lives for the country and the emperor.
Modeling potential of epic heroes: The case of the duke Momčilo
Authors: Delić Lidija
Published: November 2022

The Bulgarian hajduk (rebel) and later Byzantine despot and sebastokrator, the epic "Duke Momčilo", is a figure who left a big mark on South Slavic epic singing, among other things, as a fictional uncle of Marko Kraljević. He is one of the few people who remained in folklore memory for over six centuries. Biographical elements determined the later singing about this hero ("tall as a minaret"; death at the gates of a closed city), and key details of the established epic biography undoubtedly determined the range of Momchil՚s domains and his further appearance in epic patterns, mostly in Bulgaria.
Memories of a Kaszubi goblin by Bolesław Jażdżewski: An epic form of memory and a document of the times memoirs by B. Jażdżewski on the map of Kaszubi literature
Authors: Kuik-Kalinovska Adela
Published: November 2022

The subject of this article are "Memoirs of a Kashubian Goblin by Bolesław Jażdżewski as an epic form of memory and a document of the times." The narrative forms of memory concern the author's memoirs, comprising of three parts that go back to different periods of historical reality. The first part covers the years 1921-1943, the second - the period from the author's inclusion in the ranks of the Wehrmacht, while the third - refers to the postwar reality of Pomerania and Kashubia after the end of World War II and the construction of a new system in post-war Poland. The presented article is mainly based on the first part of the Memoirs of a Kashubian Goblin and the narrative strategies introduced in the course of reporting about the historical, social, cultural or religious events. B. Jażdżewski primarily relies on the category of memory, thanks to which the told world carries a heavy load of authenticity. In the first part of my research statement, I situate the autobiographical work of Jażdżewski on the map of Kashubian literature, with particular reference to such writers as Aleksander Majkowski, Jan Karnowski or Anna Łajming. In part two, on the other hand, I focus on the category of memory and related narrative strategies, which mean that this prose should be read as a document of the times and a record of history. This work is strongly rooted in the reality of existence in Kashubia and Pomerania in the interwar period and the first years of German occupation during World War II, as well as the post-war reality.
Theatrical play "Golubnjača": The political context of its banning and the 1982/3 conflicts within the party
Authors: Selinić Slobodan
Published: November 2022

This article analyzes the political background behind the political decision to remove the play "Golubnjača" from the Serbian National Theater program in Novi Sad in 1982. It also highlights the public reactions to that decision, as well as the conflicting stances of Vojvodina and Serbian governments about this issue. The Novi Sad Communist Union committee banned the play arguing that it was promoting Serbian nationalism. However, the play continued showing in Belgrade because of the benevolent attitude towards it among Serbian politicians and the Yugoslav people. Still, the controversies behind the play led to huge debates in the Yugoslav public sphere. This case study examines the intellectual influence over the repressive government decisions.
Digital presentation of the Belgrade Philharmonic in the period of concert bans
Authors: Milašinović Jelena
Published: November 2022

The paper focuses on the COVID-19 pandemic impact on performing arts, notably the emergence of new presentation forms devised while concert activities were suspended, referring to the example of philharmonic orchestras. Owing to totalizing digitalization, which has shifted the entire production and reception of the performing and listening experience to the online sphere, the role of the audience also undergoes a shift from a collective to a virtual entity. The text, firstly, maps the emerging practices and explores their impact on changing the very sensory perception of new media content consumed in virtual reality. The focus of the paper is on redefinition of the PR department from communications towards the roll of the curator of the online presentations and the digital content and overall activities of the orchestra. The case study examines the example of the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra by analysing its digital presentation and communication strategy between March and June 2020. The goal is to identify the contributions of new practices, whose combination with the traditional ones could result in long-term audience and public relations development and enhancement of musical performance presentation. By continuously producing new contents for different target groups, without a single concert held in this period, the Philharmonic successfully attracted new audience and turned a crisis into an opportunity for interaction with new users, thus generating growth on all platforms. The conclusion provides a predictive analysis of return to normality, after the digital transgression experiences. It is recognized that music institutions will strategically develop their digital concert halls as new entrepreneurial models. As competition in this sphere brings PR departments to the fore owing to the need to work with complex algorithms, the digital ethical dilemma will intensify as a burning issue in the context of demographic data collection.
Popular culture in function of social critique: The case of Eutopia
Authors: Agatonović Miloš
Published: November 2022

The objective of this paper is to show how popular culture can have a function of social critique, discussing the ideas of Massive Attack's Eutopia EP. Despite problems related to a certain definition of popular culture and its ideologization, the paper will try to show that popular culture represents an appropriate and efficient instrument of social critique. Social criticism in popular culture points to the problems of the society in current circumstances. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, a conceptual album, Eutopia, was published on the Internet platforms. Eutopia is presented as an audio-visual material in a popular format, with the voice-over narrative expositions of the scholars and activists about the contemporary problems, economic insecurities and inequalities, social injustices and climate emergencies. The pandemic situation caused a dramatic manifestation of the global structural problems, which represent an existential threat to the entire human society. From this standpoint, Eutopia provides solutions to some of the greatest problems of humanity today, suggesting a universal basic income, elimination of tax havens and general activism steered to overcoming and avoiding a climate emergency. Inspired by Thomas More's Utopia, a popular novel and masterpiece of Renaissance humanism, Eutopia presents a realistic Utopian vision that should motivate the entire public to assess and engage in a search for a better, just society. Therefore, Eutopia represents a creative piece of contemporary popular culture with a role of social critique, based on a humanistic endeavor of amelioration of humanity.
Popular culture as an ideological battlefield: The Rise of Skywalker and the return of retroregressive values
Authors: Radulović Ružica
Published: November 2022

Popular culture is a phenomenon that reflects the values of our societies and implies our active engagement in it. Thus, Star Wars films represent a special case. Since their appearance, the films created by George Lucas were double-coded - they included the critique of both current political and social climate. In the same manner, the books, video games and TV shows that developed from the original trilogy, attempted to emanate those same left-leaning values. Therefore, it did not come as a surprise that the new episodes of Star Wars starting from 2015, tried to preserve the same sentiments. This tendency reached its peak with The Last Jedi (2017), which directly addressed the problems of gender dynamics and discrimination, class struggles and war profiteering. However, this episode had a particularly polarizing effect on the Star Wars fandom. Those who negatively rated The Last Jedi as a form of spreading the "socialist agenda" have used their social media accounts to express their discontent, which has in turn resulted in the saga finale (The Rise of Skywalker, 2019) becoming the "greatest cultural theft of the decade". Therefore, the paper deals with the case study of The Rise of Skywalker, i.e. the correlation between the fandom and regressive values represented in the film. The main hypothesis is that popular culture, due to its active potential, becomes an ideological battlefield. The paper also intends to point out how The Rise of Skywalker has contributed to the collapse of continuity of the previous films, as well as of the Campbellian monomyth, which was the fundamental basis of Lucas' films, starting from 1977.

Published: November 2022

Many groundwater sources face a reduction in the exploitation capacity due to well aging. The well changes its performance over time, whether in operation or out of work. The well aging is influenced by many factors. Consequently, economic, business and social problems arise. Well regeneration has shown the best effects in practice to address these issues. In the area of Kladovski Ključ on the banks of the Danube, a drainage system of wells is used to defend against high water levels. During the inspection of the wells, the products that affect the aging of the well were determined, and the regeneration of the wells was conducted using the chemical-hydraulic method. The paper presents the procedures of well regeneration and the obtained positive effects of the applied method seen through the achieved results.
Adaptive neuro fuzzy Inference systems in identification, modeling and control: The state-of-the-art
Authors: Vesović Mitra , Jovanović Radiša
Published: November 2022

Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference Systems ANFIS have an increasing tendency to be used in scientific research and practical applications. The digitization of production and the emergence of Industry 4.0 enabled the development of this trend, primarily due to the ability to adapt to the task by integrating artificial neural networks and fuzzy logic, which can potentially use the advantages of both techniques in unique frameworks. This approach facilitated the modeling, data analysis, classification and control processes. The advantage of the ANFIS, compared to conventional methods, is reflected in the ability to predict the output based on a set of inputs and on the rule base. Also, these systems are suitable, because they provide the possibility to adjust the parameters of the control system. This paper presents the structure of the ANFIS system and gives a detailed review of the achievements so far, through a comparative analysis, where some possible spheres of interdisciplinary application are highlighted. Possibilities for variations, improvements and innovations of the algorithm, as well as reducing the complexity of the network architecture itself, are discussed. Proposals for some new, as yet unused combinations with metaheuristic optimization methods are presented. Finally, important guidelines are provided on when and where it is useful to apply ANFIS systems.

The paper analyzes the possibilities of implementing a photovoltaic system as an additional energy source in electric vehicles. Electric vehicles have the ability to charge batteries via the power grid. A significant number of vehicles in urban areas serve as a daily means of transportation to go to work. Most of the time, vehicles are parked, which opens up opportunities for the use of solar radiation energy through conversion into electricity, and the use of that energy to recharge the built-in batteries and thus increase the range of movement of vehicles.

Obtaining optimal CaO-lime reactivity for uniform extraction of H2 in the "gas-cellular" building block
Authors: Gordić Radojko , Gligorić Miladin , Reljić Darko , Janaćković Đorđe
Published: November 2022

In this paper quicklime CaO used for the production of aerated blocks needs to have a specific reactivity in order to ensure that hydrogen H2 in "gas-cellular" building blok is released evenly. In the production of gas silicate, the agent used for the creation of pores is usually aluminum powder, which reacts with Ca(OH)2 to release hydrogen, which in turn causes the swelling of the material and the forming of pores. To generate quicklime CaO with a specific reactivity, it is necessary to accurately determine the rock mass, calcination temperature and residence time in the calcination zone during the calcination process. The theoretical and experimental method was used in the paper. The obtained results have been verified in practice and according to these CaO reactivity parameters, the XELLA company produces "gas-cellular" blocks.

Published: November 2022

Buildings were recognized as large energy consumers, and they represent great potential for energy savings through the implementation of a wide range of measures for improving of energy efficiency. Through numerous directives and procedures that have been adopted over the past 30 years, the building sector is committed to the use of renewable energy sources. Among the solutions to the global energy problem, as well as the problem of excessive emissions of greenhouse gases, primarily CO2, which directly affect global warming, the use of solar energy is one of the most acceptable environmental solutions. In the recent years, a new aspect of the application of solar systems in the construction sector has been developed - their integration into the building envelope. This paper presents an overview of the latest research related to solar thermal systems integrated into the building envelope. The current status in the field of technology of solar thermal systems integrated into the building envelope is presented in paper. Different types of these systems that can be integrated into the building envelope are described, and their basic performance is presented. Possible applications of solar thermal collectors in different parts of the building envelope (facade, roof, overhangs, balcony) are also described and presented. By applying these systems, it is possible to significantly influence to the reduction of energy consumption in the building sector, as well as environmental pollution by reducing CO2 emissions.

Comparison of theoretical and isotropic models of incoming solar radiation for the tilted, fixed, flat-plate solar collector southoriented
Authors: Nešović Aleksandar
Published: November 2022

Knowing the intensity of incoming solar radiation is the starting point for any further analysis of the thermal performance of (all) solar collectors. A large number of existing theoretical models (both isotropic and anisotropic) can be justified by the complexity of determining its components, because the total solar radiation for an arbitrarily oriented surface of the solar collector consists of: direct, diffuse and reflected solar radiation. In the first part of the paper, three theoretical and isotropic models of incoming solar radiation are presented in detail, for the tilted, fixed, flat-plate solar collector oriented to the south, presented in the works of the following authors: LUKIĆ-BABIĆ, WIDÉN-MUNKHAMMAR and DESPOTOVIĆ. In the second part of the paper, using the mentioned methods, the incoming solar radiation was calculated by comparing the obtained results, all with the aim of facilitating (by pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of their use) other researchers to select the appropriate solar model in theoretical calculations of the solar collectors.

Authors: Simićević Jelena
Published: November 2022

Parking management in Serbian cities and towns is the responsibility of city/municipal administrations which adopt policies and measures. On the basis of data gathered in 13 cities, this paper analyzes how successful they are in parking management. In other words, it analyzes and assesses current parking state in Serbian cities. It also identifies the causes of poor state, i.e. the common mistakes made in parking management which contributes to such state. In this sense, the absence of integrated transport system management, inadequate measures applied as a result of "expert" assessment, as well as problems in practical implementation of adopted measures are especially emphasized. Finally, in accordance with the identified issues, guidelines for more successful management are suggested.

Proton pump inhibitors: Assessment of side effects and application in COVID-19 infection
Authors: Joksimović Zoran , Bastać Dušan , Pavlović Snežana
Published: November 2022

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the most commonly prescribed drugs. Their use is probably even higher than estimated due to the increase in the number of PPIs available over the counter. These medications are often prescribed for inappropriate indications or unnecessarily long treatment. The increased use of PPIs in the last two decades has called into question the long-term effects of these drugs. There are data from observational studies that indicate that long-term use of PPIs increases the risk of chronic kidney disease, dementia, osteoporosis, pneumonia, gastrointestinal tract infections, malabsorption of minerals and vitamin B12, as well as the risk of infection and a more severe course of the disease, COVID-19. However, the aforementioned suspicions do not yet have enough evidence to confirm a causal link between the disorder and PPI use, and even when there is a perceived risk, it is generally small. There is a need for better quality studies investigating this relationship. Proton pump inhibitors prescribed for the appropriate indication and for the appropriate duration of treatment are still safe drugs that bring more benefits to patients than risks.

Introduction. Leg conquassation caused by petrol tiller is one of the most severe injuries in bone and joint traumatology. Firm strokes by sharp tiller blades produce strong force that easily damages both soft tissues and bones. Since tillers are used in soil processing, the wounds are highly contaminated with dirt and fertilizers, hence the anaerobic spore-forming bacilli, such as tetanus and gas gangrene pathogens. Case report. This paper presents the treatment of a 69 years old man with chronic arterial insufficiency of the lower extremities who suffered severe injury of the lower leg (IIIB open tibial fracture according to Gustillo) by petrol tiller while performing agricultural work. Due to the absence of pulsations, Multislice CT angiography and arteriography were performed. Arteriography of the injured leg confirmed chronic occlusion of the anterior tibial artery and numerous stenotic lesions of the peroneal and posterior tibial arteries. Posterior tibial artery was chronically occluded in its distal part and connected to the foot with moderately developed collateral arteries which provided the viability of the injured leg. Despite undertaken basic principles of treatment of this serious injury (primary surgical treatment of wounds, external fixation, reconstruction of soft tissue, antibiotic and anti-tetanus prophylaxis) due to infection and gangrene the treatment ended with lower leg amputation. Conclusion. Leg amputation can be expected in this type of injuries in cases of extensive destruction of tissue in the field of existing chronic arterial insufficiency in elderly patients, even in the absence of injury of main blood vessels due to traumatic disconnection of collateral in such patients.
Germany in multipolar world and Serbia's strategic options
Authors: Ćurčić Petar
Published: November 2022

The paper analyzes the position of the Federal Republic of Germany in international relations today and based on that policy, possible guidelines for the Republic of Serbia in its strategic actions in the upcoming period are given. The first goal of the research was to consider the relationship of official Berlin to the European Union, the United States, Russia, China and the rest of the world. Berlin's tendency to further strengthen the institutions, monetary, foreign and defense policy of the European Union has been present for decades. However, since 2008, that policy has been going through constant challenges. The Greek debt crisis, Brexit, the migrant crisis, the recession, a new wave of debts by European countries due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have put the authorities in Berlin in a difficult position. The failure of Germany and France to establish a unified EU security policy, the impossibility of peace initiatives around Ukraine and the consistent monitoring of Washington's policy have limited the EU ability to project power in other parts of the world. In addition to Russia, it is also obvious that the growing antagonism towards the People's Republic of China has been noticed recently, which threatens to affect very good economic relations The second goal of the paper is to offer Serbia's strategic options based on global trends, and in the context of German policy towards the Western Balkans. The Serbian focus on the European integration and the proclaimed policy of neutrality with a strong commitment to the European peace can be an incentive for joint affairs of the two countries. Particularly problematic is Berlin's attitude towards the self-proclaimed independence of the interim institutions in Prishtina. The opposing positions of Germany and Serbia, however, can be attributed to various regional initiatives such as the Berlin Process and particularly the Open Balkans. The attempts to further escalate the conflict or confrontation of Serbia towards the environment would adversely affect the position of Serbs in the surrounding countries and would also weaken economic exchange, which is traditionally oriented towards the European countries. However, official Belgrade should also work on strengthening internal capacities, primarily defensive, economic, administrative and demographic, so that it can have a high level of readiness in case of possible challenges.

In the post-Cold War period, contemporary studies of strategic deterrence have expanded from traditional ones to contents that are much broader in terms of content and topics. It can be said that today this is the comprehensive activity that should engage the entire society, proclaiming the concept of the whole power. Providing the systematic implementation of the principle of comprehensiveness, together with the principle of knowledge-worthiness and timeliness, certainly represents a key prerequisite for effective deterrence in modern conditions. Military power certainly represents a fundamental capability for deterrence in the context of support to foreign policy, diplomatic efforts and economic cooperation with foreign countries, as well as in terms of psychological and informational resistance. Another great problem is which state authority to entrust with the implementation of strategic deterrence. It seems most acceptable for the National Security Council to assume the responsibility for the implementation of strategic deterrence, with the necessary organizational and functional changes in terms of recruiting personnel for the Council. The paper deals with the problem how to distribute the competences of state authorities in the implementation of deterrence. We believe that this paper has offered quite enough arguments that it is necessary to legally regulate this field in a manner that it changes the basic assumptions of the competences of state authorities to the least possible extent. It is clear that this is a conceptual model that requires further elaboration and concretization, but it can serve as a starting point for further research.
One-year statutory limitation period for claims in the context of obligation law and consumer law
Authors: Pilipović Dejan
Published: November 2022

This paper analyzes some issues related to the one-year Statute of limitations for claims, from the beginning of this period and throughout its course, in the context of obligation (contract) law and consumer law relations. The focus is on reconsidering whether the length of the special one-year Statute of limitations should be changed. The author examines whether there is room for refining, specifying and amending the provisions of the Obligation Relations Act, especially pertaining to the beginning of this period, given that the legal provisions on the one-year Statute of limitations in this Act do not contain special rules on this issue. The discussion is further complicated by the fact that in the Republika Srpska, the Consumer Protection Act contains a provision on a one-year Statute of limitations for claims on services of general economic interest. Is the circle of claims or the rule concerning the beginning of this Statute of limitations different from the one prescribed in the Obligations Relations Act? The paper aims to find answers to these questions by using scientific research methods in the analysis of legislation, legal theory and case law, as well as the questionnaire techniques in the empirical research which is of both theoretical and practical importance.
Legal treatment of pets and service animals in emergency situations
Authors: Stojanović Nataša
Published: November 2022

During the catastrophic floods that struck the Republic of Serbia in May 2014, a large number of animals suffered and perished in the floods. The 2009 Emergency Situations Act, which was in force at the time, envisaged a solid legal mechanism for the protection of animals in such situations, which evidently did not function in practice. The most notable issues in the application of this legislative act that surfaced during the May 2014 floods are: the absence of any activities by the competent ministries aimed at preparing and organizing appropriate training courses and seminars; failure to publish any brochures concerning the conduct of animal owners or activities of associations involved in the protection of animals in the event of natural disasters; inadequate engagement of entities which were legally obliged to protect animals during the floods; non-existence of regional rescue teams within the Emergency Sector, specially trained to rescue animals at the time of natural disasters; non-existence of expert-operative teams for the evacuation of animals within the emergency headquarters; non-existence of resident civil protection units specialized in the rescue of animals; non-regulation of special animal rescue procedures from endangered areas in the emergency situation protection and rescue plans; refusal of rescue crews to save both pets and their owners; and the non-existence of shelters where both pets and their owners would stay during a natural disaster. The application of other legislative acts regulating the subject matter of animal protection and welfare, such as the Veterinary Medicine Act and the Animal Welfare Act of the Republic of Serbia, seems to have been equally ineffective during the May 2014 floods. For instance, a large number of owned dogs and cats could not have been found in the flooded areas because they were not registered, ID-marked or properly tagged. In the meantime, the Disaster Risk Reduction and Emergency Management Act was adopted in 2018. In this paper, the author primarily focuses on the legal solutions envisaged in this legislative act, in order to establish whether and to what extent the Serbian legislator has made an effort to address the aforesaid problems and demonstrated good will to legally regulate this subject matter.
How to stop placing false information and hate speech on the Internet?

The subject matter of this paper will be the protection of fundamental human rights from false and offensive information and hate speech on the Internet. The authors analyze the regulations and case law of the national courts of the Republic of Croa-tia, the ECtHR and EU Court of Justice. In conclusion, the authors note that the legal framework governing the protection of human rights in the digital environment has not been precisely developed, either at the national or at the international level. Nor has the case law thus far demonstrated clear and unambiguous precision in the interpretation of existing regulations. It is extremely difficult and challenging to achieve the right balance between the freedom of expression of the media and the right of individuals to protection of personality rights. The media should react to inappropriate content in a timely manner, but the general obligation to 'filter' comments of online media users is incompatible with the freedom of expression. Excessive control of information can easily turn into censorship. However, we believe that it is necessary to clearly regulate the rights and obligations of participants on the Internet because transparency and predictability of accountability is the only way to establish protection of fundamental rights of individuals and certain vulnerable groups.
