With the aim of encouraging mobility between higher education institutions in the Western Balkan countries and those in the European Union (EU), the European Commission initiated a series of measures ...to increase the share of students primarily from the Western Balkans who spend at least one semester away from their home institutions, but also the share of young people from EU member states who come to Western Balkan (WB) countries.
Aim of the paper is to determine the degree of representation of internationalisation strategy and policy elements in the internal documents of higher education institutions and its direct impact on the development of mobility.
An electronic survey has been created and sent to representatives of 9 EU and 11 WB universities. Respondents were mainly international relations officers or management representatives. Mann-Whitney test was applied in order to test differences between EU and WB universities.
The conducted Mann-Whitney nonparametric tests show that the degree of representation of internationalisation strategy and policy elements in the internal documents of a higher education institution has a direct impact on the development of mobility.
By 2020, the European Commission aims to have 20% of all students acquiring an academic degree within the European Higher Education Area participate in mobility. This paper sheds light on this segment and indicates possible directions for actions aimed at developing mobility at institutions in Western Balkan countries

Foresee ability and sustainability are the fundamental requirements for a well functioning legal system: the kind of legal system and the environment where the interests of the individual and of ...business are at the fore. Interest-based groups need a reasonable level of legal certainty in order to be able to articulate their goals, implement their plans and achieve foreseeable results. Legislators – in the widest sense – should work on securing this kind of certainty, by establishing a stable legal framework. The starting supposition of this paper is that adoption of regulations is not an aim unto itself, starting with a draft and ending with its formal adoption.
However, successful application of a piece of legislation is the aim. Although a legal strategy is more precise than a policy and more general than a plan, it nonetheless bears the features of both. The aim of this paper is to present the multiple effects of law and legal resources, and consequently the relevant legal strategies, may have in the creation of competitive advantages.
Earlier studies indicate that Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia, as well as other countries in transition, are characterized by a relatively high ownership ...concentration, which points to the presence of conflict of interest between majority and minority shareholders and possibility of abuse of minorities' rights. Accordingly, the paper aims to analyze and compare the legal measures of protection of minority shareholders in these countries, which will allow making conclusions on the current level of legal protection of minority shareholders and determining the necessary courses of action for its improvement. It has been widely accepted that company law and regulation of capital markets play a significant role in the development of financial markets, corporate governance and corporate finance and that by means of improving the legal environment it is possible to restrict the possibilities for expropriation of minority shareholders. In the paper we analyze and compare the relevant provisions of company laws in the observed countries. Unlike previous research on the quality of corporate governance in these countries that focused mainly on implementation of the OECD Principles, we focus on the pre-defined key mechanisms to protect minority shareholders with no aspirations to cover all aspects of the protection and seek to identify weaknesses in legislation. The results point to a relatively high level of protection of minority shareholders "on paper" in the analysed countries, but also to some weaknesses which vary from country to country.
Tourism is the phenomenon of great social and economic importance. It is the biggest and the fastest growing industry which is developing 1.5 faster than the other industries. Additionally, tourism ...represents a mass movement of people which makes strong impact on many destinations, traditional or emerging ones. This have both economic and social influence on developing destinations, creating employment opportunities and economic benefits for those involved in tourism activities. Tourism development has positive influence on infrastructure development, as well as on the service industry (especially SMEs related to tourism). International economic impacts of tourism are numerous. Countries are attracting tourists and tour operators to use services, which consequently contribute to its balance payment. Services, beside tourist attractions, natural and cultural diversity, create visitors’ opinion about destination. Changing nature of tourism (moving from mass tourism to niche tourism and new experiences) has a strong influence on educational process and skills which service providers in tourism have to attain. The intention of this paper is to put a light on the connection between the fast-changing tourism trends and educational processes which are crucial component in providing market with capable and efficient human resources. Be it tourist guide or agent, hotel manager, handicrafts provider or restaurant owner, person involved in tourism is under the pressure to cope with changes and adjust to new trends. Which strategies should companies and individuals use to gain or update their knowledge? Could life-long learning strategies support their efforts in tourism and provide answers to these questions?
Nowadays, the importance of the local community is growing all over, but the fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina (hereinafter: BiH) has no state law on local self-government that would clearly define ...the position and the role of citizens in the system administration, is not officially recognized at the state level. Also, it is important to note that this area is not under the direct jurisdiction of any of the ministries. Given that there are entity laws and cantonal laws, or municipal statutes, there are cases of overlapping responsibilities of higher and lower levels of government, for example between entities and cantons or between cantons and municipalities. Here it is matter of the fulfilment of the obligations of BiH in terms of implementation of the principles contained in the European Charter of Local Self-Government of the Council of Europe. BiH Constitution did not specifically specify constitutional and legal position of municipal and city governments. In terms of the constitutional provisions, in the Federation of BiH cantons have all the responsibilities that are not expressly granted to the Federal Government. The Constitution of the Republic of Srpska also, among other things, determines the constitutional order based on local government. In the Brčko Distrikt situation is somewhat simpler because the District is considered a single unit of local self-government, and in this sense instruments of international law are directly applicable. Local Governance in BiH is devoted adequate attention through special entity laws. Separate entity legislation does not end the process of division of the system of local self-government, because each canton in the Federation of BiH has a law on local self-government, and in addition, municipalities have statutes. As in RS there are no regional or cantonal laws on local self-government, the municipalities are considered the base units of local government. This is an advantage in RS compared to the Federation of BiH in which the system of local government is compounded by the existence of a cantonal law. “The system of local government shall be regulated by law. A law may entrust the performance of local government tasks to the city. The city and the municipality shall be entitled to revenues determined by law and shall be provided with the funding for the performance of their duties.” The Act contains a specific provision on the so-called local governments that have followed different laws.
Uvođenjem krivično-pravne odgovornosti pravnih lica u pravni sistem Bosne i Hercegovine 2002. nastupile su radikalne promjene u sferi odgovornosti i za kibernetički kriminal. Sam kibernetički ...kriminal usko se veže za djelovanje pojedinaca, odnosno fizičkih lica, međutim nezobilazna je i odgovornost privrednih društava. Ova konstatacija se posebno ističe kada se dostupnim čine resursi (oprema i propadajući software) koji omogućavaju počinjenje kibernetskog kriminala. Revolucija u sferi informatike, brojne društvene mreže, e-eduakcije, pa sve do brojnih oblika internet komunciranja koji omogućavaju elektronsko ugovaranje, plaćanje i e-banking, dovelo je do obaveznog normiranja u ovoj oblasti. Kao i u svakoj drugoj oblasti postoji više nego zavidan nivo zloupotreba koje imaju zabranjen i to najšeće krivično-pravni karakter. Bosna i Hercegovina se može smatrati zemljom koja je ova pitanje pravno uredila na adekvatan način i uskladila sa zahtjevima međunarodne zajednice. Tako, imamo državno (BiH) zakonodavstvo u krivično-pravnoj oblasti, elektronsko zaključivanje ugovora, siguran i kvalifikovani elektronski potpis, pravo konkurencije i pravo zaštite potrošača. Pobrojano predstavlja osnovni set propisa u ovoj oblasti. Entiteti i BD BiH imaju pravno određenje u oblastima elektronske komunikacije i krivično-pravnoj oblasti. U Krivičnom zakonu FBiH imamo posebno poglavlje pod nazivom Krivična djela protiv sistema elektronske obrade podataka, dok u RS-u imamo poglavlje pod nazivom Krrivična djela protiv bezbjednosti kompjuterskih podataka. U BD BiH, isto kao i u FBiH, imamo istu sistematizaciju i naziv poglavlja koje se bavi sankcionisanjem ove vrste krivičnih djela. Elektronsko plaćanje i prodaja na daljinu posebno su uređeni državnim Zakonom o zaštiti potrošača u BiH.
