The article analyzes the problem of accessibility of education. Education accessibility has become of great relevance in the European Union in recent decades, when the attention has been paid to its integral influence in shaping social, cultural, economic and political situation. Education accessibility enhances each country's or region's intellectual potential and promotes integration into the economic competitiveness of the area, not only in the context of the European countries, but also in international forums. This decade, all EU member states launched a decentralization of education management by promoting employment and reducing unemployment. In the Republic of Lithuania, on the basis of the principle of subsidiary, education decentralization and responsible management are under implementation; schools, municipal and state functions are redistributed, municipality responsibility to education accessibility has increased. The priority direction of education reform in the Republic of Lithuania is the development of infrastructure, i.e., the reorganization of the network of education services and the optimization that would guarantee access to learning. Education accessibility is particularly relevant for socially marginalized and poor citizens.

This article is dedicated to the topic of social potential as a source of development and sustainable functioning of the socio-economic system. It is pointed out that economic progress can also turn out to be a form of regress unless human investments are made. This baseline is used to put forward and discuss two major problems. The first problem refers to the relationship between human behavior and social potential. The focus here is placed on the system of values as a basic difference in human behavior. It also focuses on some psychological aspects of the thinking patterns behind one's personality and behavior. The second problem is related to specific behavioral patterns that hinder the realization of social potential. Knowing them and being willing to eliminate them in the management practice may lead to an increase in the effective functioning of the socio-economic system.

The transformation of Serbian media system, as social subsystem, has started in the first years of this century as part of the overall transition. The main process was change of legal framework that was supposed to bring discontinuity from previous periods and the implementation of experiences and principles that are seen as democratic standards. The modification of media legislation in Serbia was supposed to adjust the democratic capacities of public sphere, as citizen's sphere, to insure the guarantee the freedom of expression and free flow of information as well as to enable the higher participation of citizens in public debate while at the same time diminish unwanted influences by political, economic and other centers of power. This article deals with theoretical analysis of documents that regulate media in Serbia, comparing articles on certain issues with European regulatory framework. It shows the overall social ambience in which changes happen and than influence the behavior of political acters as well as institutions responsible for legal initiative, but also to the law enforcement in such an important social area - media. ; Transformacija medijskog sistema Srbije, kao društvenog podsistema, započela je prvih godina ovog veka kao deo ukupne tranzicije. Suštinski proces tog preobražaja je izmena zakonske regulative, koja je trebalo da donese diskontinuitet sa prethodnim periodima i implementaciju onih iskustava i principa koji se smatraju standardima demokratskog sveta. Izmene medijske regulative Srbije, trebalo je da povećaju demokratske kapacitete javne sfere kao sfere građana, da obezbede garancije slobodi izražavanja i slobodnom protoku informacija, da omoguće veću participativnost građana u javnoj debati, a smanje uticaje političkih, ekonomskih i drugih centara moći. Ovaj rad se bavi teorijskom, sociološki utemeljenom analizom pravnih dokumenata kojima je u Srbiji regulisana oblast medija, komparirajući odredbe o pojednim pitanjima sa evropskim regulatornim okvirom. Rad ukazuje i na ukupan društveni ambijent u kome se promene događaju i na ponašanje političkih aktera i institucija sistema koji imaju odgovornost za zakonodavnu inicijativu, ali i za praktično sprovođenje zakona u jednoj važnoj društvenoj oblasti.
