Odbrambena organizacija svake savremene države treba da bude izbalansirana civilno-vojna institucija sa jasno zakonski definisanom civilnom supremacijom. Ona mora biti sposobna da u okviru raspoloživih javnih resursa, obezbedi najoptimalniji ambijent za razvoj sistema odbrane a pre svega, pripremu i efikasnu i efektivnu upotrebu vojske u ostvarivanju dodeljenih joj misija. Obzirom da je projektovano stanje odbrambene organizacije u neprestanom razvoju i promenama, iskazanu kroz potrebu da se upodobi stvarni rizicima i raspoloživim resursima sistem odbrane mora biti u reformi koja ima trajni karakter. Shodno navedenom, Republika Srbija je u poslednjih dvadeset godina u nekoliko navrata usklađivala organizacionu strukturu Ministarstva odbrane, održavajući i stanje aktuelnog političkog trenutka u zemlji. Osnovno polazište u izgradnji optimalne organizacije Ministarstva odbrane u Republici Srbiji bila je želja da se obezbedi dominantna pozicija ministra odbrane u okviru rada nadležne institucije. To je ujedno predstavljalo osnovu za razvoj uspešnog menadžmenta i potrebnih resursa za civilnu administraciju, kako bi se pre svega ostvario potreban organizacioni model koji bi omogućio demokratski nadzor nad vojskom, ali istovremeno ispoštovao i vojnu ekspertizu u svim oblastima za koje je to neophodno. Ujedno usvajanjem novih strategijskih dokumenata i uvođenjem u promet koncepta totalne odbrane, traži se usklađivanje organizacije šeme Ministarstva odbrane sa aktuelnim viđenjem politike bezbednosti u zaštiti nacionalnih interesa Republike Srbije. U radu će biti prikazane promenu u organizacionoj strukturi Ministarstva odbrane Republike Srbije od 2000 godine do danas.

The pillars of the Russian political power are as follows: nuclear power, the
United Nations veto power, possession and trade in energy products. In
comparison with other countries on the international energy market Russia has
enormous energy and mineral resources. It uses them as an instrument of
pursuing of its foreign policy and gaining regional and global power.
Building of the South Stream enables Russia to expand its power in the
Mediterranean, South Europe and in the African pipeline areas. Russia has
developed several projects covering a broader Euro-Asian and Mediterranean
area. In this way, it has positioned itself for a global energy acting
through which it attempts to achieve its aim of exerting its global political
influence establishing itself as a global energy super power.

This article focuses on the democratization of civil–military relations and the implementation of democratic control of the armed forces in the Republic of Serbia. By analyzing the basic parameters of democratic civil–military relations, we attempt to evaluate whether civil–military relations in the Republic of Serbia can be classified into a type of relations that occur in consolidated democracies. Based on an examination of legal documents and other data, this article concludes that democratic changes since October 2000 have greatly influenced the course of relations between military and political elites and that civil–military relation in Serbia meet most of the defined parameters. However, due to the difficulties in the implementation of this control in practice, civil–military relations in Serbia can only partially be classified as a type of relations that occur in consolidated democracies.

The COVIDiSTRESS global survey collects data on early human responses to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic from 173,429 respondents in 48 countries. The open science study was co-designed by an international consortium of researchers to investigate how psychological responses differ across countries and cultures, and how this has impacted behaviour, coping and trust in government efforts to slow the spread of the virus. Starting in March 2020, COVIDiSTRESS leveraged the convenience of unpaid online recruitment to generate public data. The objective of the present analysis is to understand relationships between psychological responses in the early months of global coronavirus resreictions, and help understand how different government measures succeed or fail in changing public behaviour. There were variations between and within countries. Although Western Europeans registered as more concerned over COVID-19, more stressed, and having slightly more trust in the governments' efforts, there was no clear geographical pattern in compliance with behavioural measures. Detailed plots illustrating between-countries differences are provided.Using both traditional and Bayesian analyses, we found that individuals who worried about getting sick worked harder to protect themselves and others. However, concern about the coronavirus itself did not account for all of the variance in experienced stress during the early months of coronavirus restrictions. More alarmingly, such stress was associated with less compliance. Further, those most concerned over the coronavirus trusted in government measures primarily where policies were strict. While concern over a disease is a source of mental distress, other factors including strictness of protective measures, social support, and personal lockdown conditions must also be taken into consideration to fully appreciate the psychological impact of COVID-19 and to understand why some people fail to follow behavioral guidelines intended to protect themselves and others from infection.

During the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the COVIDiSTRESS Consortium launched an open-access global survey to understand and improve individuals' experiences related to the crisis. A year later, we extended this line of research by launching a new survey to address the dynamic landscape of the pandemic. This survey was released with the goal of addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion by working with over 150 researchers across the globe who collected data in 48 languages and dialects across 137 countries. The resulting cleaned dataset described here includes 15,740 of over 20,000 responses. The dataset allows cross-cultural study of psychological wellbeing and behaviours a year into the pandemic. It includes measures of stress, resilience, vaccine attitudes, trust in government and scientists, compliance, and information acquisition and misperceptions regarding COVID-19. Open-access raw and cleaned datasets with computed scores are available. Just as our initial COVIDiSTRESS dataset has facilitated government policy decisions regarding health crises, this dataset can be used by researchers and policy makers to inform research, decisions, and policy.

This N = 173,426 social science dataset was collected through the collaborative COVIDiSTRESS Global Survey – an open science effort to improve understanding of the human experiences of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic between 30th March and 30th May, 2020. The dataset allows a cross-cultural study of psychological and behavioural responses to the Coronavirus pandemic and associated government measures like cancellation of public functions and stay at home orders implemented in many countries. The dataset contains demographic background variables as well as measures of Asian Disease Problem, perceived stress (PSS-10), availability of social provisions (SPS-10), trust in various authorities, trust in governmental measures to contain the virus (OECD trust), personality traits (BFF-15), information behaviours, agreement with the level of government intervention, and compliance with preventive measures, along with a rich pool of exploratory variables and written experiences. A global consortium from 39 countries and regions worked together to build and translate a survey with variables of shared interests, and recruited participants in 47 languages and dialects. Raw plus cleaned data and dynamic visualizations are available.
