Globalization and the development of information technologies have dramatically changed the space in which economic entities function and carry out their activities. However, despite all the advantages of modern technology and the fact that they allow to save transaction costs, many enterprises are still prone to the use of cash in the implementation of various types of transactions. Transactions served in cash are easy to hide and not to declare, thus generating one of the most destructive phenomena in the society - the shadow economy, which includes activities deliberately concealed from the state authorities. The study of problems of the shadow economy growth and the identification of major reasons for it in the European Union countries is presented. ; Глобализация и развитие информационных технологий резко изменили пространство, в котором функционируют и осуществляют свою деятельность хозяйствующие субъекты. Однако, несмотря на все преимущества современных технологий и то, что они позволяют экономить транзакционные издержки, многие хозяйствующие субъекты по-прежнему склонны к использованию наличных денег при различного рода сделках. Сделки, обслуживаемые наличными деньгами, легко скрывать и не декларировать, тем самым порождая одно из самых разрушительных явлений в обществе - теневую экономику, которая включает деятельность, намеренно скрываемую от органов государственной власти. В статье исследованы проблемы роста масштабов теневой экономики в странах Европейского Союза и выявлению его основных причин.
Россия — одно из важнейших государств мира, а тем самым русский язык занимает высокое место в списке самых востребованных языков. Цель настоящей дипломной работы — исследовать важность русского языка и русской культуры для стран Европейского союза. Благодаря историческим, географическим и культурным связям, в некоторых странах, особенно в Прибалтике и на Балканах, проживает сравнительно большое число русскоговорящих, а эти страны ориентированы на интеграцию русского языка в своё общество. Более того, по всему Европейскому союзу доступно изучение русского языка и русской культуры. Помимо семейных обстоятельств, главной мотивацией изучения русского языка является бизнес, поскольку растёт спрос на русскоговорящее население — работников в сфере туризма. С другой стороны, русский всё ещё главным образом имеет статус языка национального меньшинства, что ставит его в более низкое положение, чем официальные языки Европейского союза. Таким образом, в большинстве случаев им не пользуются в работе европейских институтов. Однако благодаря стремлению продолжать хорошие дипломатические отношения между Россией и Европейским союзом, а также сильным экономическим и торговым отношениям, мы предполагаем, что русский язык в Европейском союзе ждёт светлое будущее. ; Rusija je jedno od najsnažnijih gospodarstava na svijetu, a samim time već dugi niz godina ruski jezik zauzima visoko mjesto na listi najtraženijih jezika. Svrha ovog diplomskog rada je istražiti važnost ruskog jezika i ruske kulture u zemljama Europske Unije. Zbog povijesnih, geografskih i kulturnih veza u nekim zemljama, posebice na Baltiku i Balkanu, prebiva znatno veći broj ruskih govornika te su te zemlje orijentiranije na integraciju ruskog jezika u svoje društvo. Nadalje, diljem Europske Unije nude se mogućnosti učenja ruskog jezika i upoznavanja ruske kulture. Osim obiteljskih razloga, glavna motivacija učenja ruskog jezika često je upravo ona poslovna, budući da je ruski sve traženiji za potrebe turizma i poslovne suradnje. S druge strane, još uvijek primarno ima status jezika manjine, što ga stavlja u nižu poziciju od službenih jezika Europske Unije te se kao takav u većini slučajeva ne koristi u radu europskih institucija. Ipak, zahvaljujući nastojanjima da se održe dobri diplomatski odnosi između Rusije i Europske Unije, kao i snažnim ekonomskim i trgovinskim odnosima, čini se kako ruski jezik u Europskoj Uniji čeka svjetla budućnost. ; Russia is one of the world's most powerful economies, which has consequently placed Russian at the top of the list of most required languages for a long period of years. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the importance of Russian language and culture for the countries of the European Union. Due to historical, geographical and cultural ties certain countries, especially in the Baltics and the Balkans, have a significantly higher number of Russian speakers, and they are more orientated toward integrating Russian language into their society. Furthermore, possibilities for learning Russian language and culture can be found all over the European Union. The main motivation for learning Russian language, apart from family reasons, is business, given that there is an increased demand for Russian speakers in the tourism sector. On the other hand, Russian is still primarily categorized as a minority language, which places it in a lower position than the official languages of the European Union and thus it is generally not used in the work of european institutions. However, thanks to the efforts to maintain good diplomatic relations between Russia and the European Union, as well as strong economic and trade relations, it seems that a bright future awaits Russian within the European Union.

Dangerous goods are substances with hazardous properties and products that can harm people, the environment or property. Incorrect transport or storage of such cargo can lead to human or animal disease, poisoning, burns, as well as explosion, fire, damage to other cargo, rolling stock, structures and equipment, contamination of the environment and water. It is not possible to avoid the risk of transporting dangerous goods, but it can be controlled and minimized.A study on the possibilities for improving the transport of dangerous goods in the European Union countries was carried out. The study was conducted using a survey method. Questionnaires were sent to transport companies carrying dangerous goods. These companies are based in the European Union countries. The purpose of the study was to find out what security measures the relevant transport company is taking to ensure the safe transport of dangerous goods, the modes of transport of the most dangerous goods, the countries where the dangerous goods transported by the respective carrier are mostly transported, the information means used by the company for fast and safe transportation to the consignee of this type of cargo.The article presents the results of the study on the transport of dangerous goods in the EU countries. The questionnaire analysis showshow respondents in the European Union countries evaluate the transport of dangerous goods, what dangerous goods are usually transported, what are the causes of accidents and what is being done to reduce the risks of transporting dangerous goods.After analysis of the results of the study it can be stated that the EU countries have a variety of security measures to reduce the risk of dangerous goods transport. Therefore, Lithuanian carriers can be offered various means of safe transportation of these goods.The article provides guidance measures to ensure the safe transport of that cargo.

The system of international relations is in constant change, where new challenges, problems, trends are emerging. In this context, the global migration is no exception. The central question of this study is that labor migrants from Central Asia are changing their traditional directions, where Russia is replaced by other European countries. Such a trend can not be short-term for a number of reasons, both internal and external. Globalization, which neutralizes the natural borders of states, contributes to the gradual growth of world migration. Moreover, the leading countries of Europe with a high level of economic development have always attracted foreigners who were in search of work and a better life. Among other reasons of this problem is the rapid demographic development of Central Asia, the interest of European countries in cheaper labor, but quite qualified. In addition, the economic crisis in Russia, the complication of migration policy, the weakening of the currency, as well as the dependence of the budget of the Central Asian countries from remittances from abroad, it provokes great interest in changing traditional migratory direction. The objective of the research is to investigate the phenomenon of gradual increase in the number of migrants from Central Asian countries to Europe and analyze causes and consequences of this phenomenon in the context of the current international situation. Summarizing the results of the research, the authors make the important conclusion that the number of migrants from Central Asia in the countries of the European Union is gradually increasing. In the next decades this phenomenon will also be relevant because of the high birth rate and relatively young middle age of citizens in the countries of Central Asia, the EU's need for cheap and at the same time qualified labor, a low level of the Central Asian economy and the economic crisis in Russia. ; Система международных отношений находится в постоянном изменении, где появляются новые вызовы, проблемы, определенные тренды. В этом смысле глобальная миграция не является исключением. В данном исследовании речь идет о том, что мигранты из Центральной Азии в последние годы устремлены против традиционно сложившегося направления, где на смену России приходят другие страны Европы. Подобная тенденция не может являться краткосрочной по ряду внутренних и внешних причин, где глобализация, нивелирующая естественные границы государств, способствует постепенному росту мировой миграции. Более того, ведущие страны Европы с высоким уровнем экономического развития всегда привлекали иностранцев, которые находились в поиске работы и лучшей жизни. Среди других причин актуальности этой проблемы можно назвать и быстрое демографическое развитие ЦА, заинтересованность европейских стран в более дешевой рабочей силе, но, тем не менее, достаточно квалифицированной. Помимо этого экономический кризис в России, усложнение миграционной политики, ослабление курса валюты, а также зависимость бюджета стран ЦА от денежных переводов из-за границы в комплексе провоцируют большую заинтересованность в смене традиционного миграционного направления. Цель работы - исследовать феномен постепенного увеличения числа мигрантов из стран Центральной Азии в Европу и проанализировать причины и последствия данного явления в контексте актуальной международной обстановки. По итогам рассмотрения проблемы авторы делают вывод о том, что количество мигрантов из Центральной Азии в странах Европейского союза постепенно увеличивается. В следующие десятилетия этот феномен также будет актуален из-за высокого темпа рождаемости и относительно молодого среднего возраста граждан в странах ЦА, потребности ЕС в дешевой и одновременно квалифицированной рабочей силе, невысокого уровня экономики ЦА и экономического кризиса в России.
With changes in economic system, cultural and creative industries that are associated with art, mass media and media activities comprise an increasing part of a country economy. Cultural and creative industries sector impacts the economic system not only through main economic indicators but also indirectly: it develops creativity, innovativeness and innovation, which encourage the sector development itself and contribute to the growth of other sectors. It provides an argument for the scientific problem formulated in the dissertation – what are the theoretical assumptions for the cultural and creative industries and how to evaluate cultural and creative industries sector? The research problem covers the majority of basic principles of the sector: evaluation of cultural and economic value, the opposition between economically inefficient cultural industries and commercially successful creative industries, impact on country's economic growth and welfare. In the dissertation the concept of cultural and creative industries was discussed; classification systems were analysed; concept of cultural and economic value was introduced; complex model of cultural and creative industries was presented, and the impact of cultural and creative industries on socioeconomic system was analysed. In order to evaluate the sector, predominant methods for evaluating the sector were reviewed, critical analysis of creativity indexes was performed, the demand for a new analytical tool was considered, and cultural and creative industries index was developed. Cultural and creative industries index has been calculated for the European Union countries (2000-2014); according the CCII the comparison European Union countries has been performed, and opportunities to apply it for further empirical research has been studied and possible trends for further evaluation of cultural and creative industries sector have been formed.
