The problem is that there are no training methodology of an unrestricted aerostat pilots, which would meet the requirements of the Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI) and European Union standarts and directives. Investigations of Lithuanian air balloons sporting organizations have shown the need for improved air pilot training model that meets the requirements of the Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI) and European Union standarts and directives and the need to improve pilots (starting with students and ending with elderly people) training system and increase Lithuania ballooning Society by enlarging it's geography. The aim – to create the model of an unrestricted aerostat pilots training in Lithuania. The object - model of licensed unrestricted aerostat pilots training in Lithuania The goals: 1) Review the professional competence of specialists and licensed unrestricted aerostat pilot in theoretical aspects. 2) Create theoretical model of unrestrictedaerostat pilot's competencies. 3) To prepare research methodology for empirical investigation and create questionnairy for Lithuanian hor air balloon sport organizations. 4) Substantiate the training model of licensed unrestricted aerostat pilots. Research methods: scientific literature analysis, questionnaire survey and statistical data analysis. The work consists of three parts. First is comparative analysis of theoretical aspects about the competencies and their models published in the literature and the theoretical model of the competencies of licensed pilots of unrestricted aerostats. It has four components: in adition to technical (profesional) and practical competencies, that are known as solid, evaluated also social intelligence competencies (the softcompetencies: accountability, quick orientation in the situation, knowledge of the management in the team work situation, the ability to independently make decisions, organizational awareness, consistency,empathy, influence, inspiration and education and development of competence, which are ...

Currently, a lot of attention is given to environmental protection worldwide. The environmental problems are not something new or unexpected. They are very relevant in the twenty-first century. It is important that society would be informed of the environmental problems in the most efficient way ensuring balanced development of the country, while maintaining healthy natural environment, preserving the landscape and biodiversity and optimizing the use of nature. The aim of the research is to explore public awareness of environment protection and assess the project activities of public environmental briefing in educative broadcasts, newspapers and a web portal. In this master thesis, we shall consider the support of EU Structural Funds for Lithuania in 2007-2013, which is provided in accordance with the Lithuanian Strategy for the use of European Union Structural Assistance for 2007-2013 and the Cohesion Promotion Action Programme. The support is a great assistance for public briefing about the environmental problems. This Master's thesis consists of two parts, which are designed to examine legal acts regulating the public briefing on environment protection and to establish the model of public relations activities for public briefing of the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Lithuania. To analyse the available data, evaluate and describe the situation of briefing about the environment and the status of environmental awareness in Lithuania. And also to prepare recommendations on how to improve the effectiveness of briefing and the public relations activities of the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Lithuania. While implementing the objectives of this research, we have done an overview of the environment protection in the context of cohesive development, legislation related to the environment protection of the European Union and Lithuania, have identified the relevant environmental problems of Lithuania and the ways of public briefing on them by applying the technologies of public relations. In this master thesis, we focused on the analysis of the legal acts and the model of public relations activity of the Ministry of Environment for public briefing on environmental problems. We can state that, when informing society, it is necessary to consider the informational needs of the population, choose the appropriate channels and sources, and combine the briefing with other means of public relations in pursuance of a two-sided symmetrical model. The project \"Public Environmental Briefing in Educative Broadcasts, Newspapers, Films and a Web Portal\" is the effective model of public relations activity.

The free movement of persons is one of the most successful part of European Union project, which operates as very important factor promoting European integration process. Adoption of The Treaty on European Union and the creation of EU citizenship implemented significant changes: the status of European citizens, their rights to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States can no more be interpreted in the way as it was before the adoption of the Treaty on European Union. There are no requirements for EU citizens, placed in the Treaty, to pursue professional or independent activities or work under an employment contract in order to access provided rights. However the right of free movement is not unlimited. The administrations of Lithuanian government are authorized to impose restictions on free movement of citizens. In the light of these facts, the article examines exceptions in the field of free movement of persons and indentifies concepts of public order, public security and public health. Special attention is given to so called rule restricting the restrictions and to the mechanism of protection against expulsion out of the country. The article concludes, that the institutions of Lithuanian government have the right to evaluate the threats in the territory of the country and to decide on the content of public security by themselves. But their discretion can not be used as an instrument to treat the behaviour of other Member States citizens worse than the same behaviour of local citizens.

The method of budget expenditures distribution directly influences on results of state government resources. Recently the program budget is used more often, all other modified distribution models of budget expenditures as well. Analysing the scientific literature, the different analytic publications and current Lithuania's situation after budget reform, it could be pointed, that the program budget in many cases is appraised as perspective and useful process. Budget programs are the main components of programming method. The solutions of state expenditures distribution are made according to programs results. It's important to evaluate the programs properly and select the most useful for the state, which could give the social, economic and financial outputs in the future. Defining current Lithuania's situation and problems of the program evaluation process, it's obvious that there is the necessity of increasment of program evaluation foundation and objectivity. The work object: the distribution process of state budget by programs. The work purpose is according to the theory to make an analysis of the state budget expenditures distribution process by programs, summarize and create the synthetical evaluation model of budget programs. The work tasks: • to analyze the theoretical aspects of the state budget expenditures distribution according to principles of programming; • to analyze the effectiveness of state budget programs; • to produce the Lithuania's practice of state program budgeting; • to present the methods of program budgeting evaluation; • to create the synthetical evaluation model of budget programs. Research methods are: the analysis of scientific literature, the analytical evaluation, and the comparative methods of analysis. The work structure and the main results: the work is divided into three main parts. The first part discloses an analysis of the scientific literature. In the second part it is presented the methods of the budget programs evaluation and in the last one – the synthetical evaluation model. Created synthetical evaluation model of budget programs covers all stages of the evaluation process. The principles of programs formation are used as additional control and removal of the possibility of programs duplicates. The quantative criterions allow evaluating the programs more clearly; the programs are compared more easily for choosing the more optimal one. The control system in every stage of the program existence period secures the processes of continuity, which are focused to the result, that is, to the state objectives, as stimulating the economical development

After the collapse of communism, the post-communist countries had to transform their economic and social systems, democratize the political system, etc. The post-communist countries had to demonstrate their ability and potential to create strong social security system (social model), thereby ensuring the welfare for its citizens. The newly created social models had to rely on a certain notion of prosperity, while the state had to take care of the implementation of the welfare regime, formulate the methods and measures that are necessary for the achievement of the welfare state. There are many attempts at understanding, evaluating and describing the social (welfare) models and their development in post-communist states. Case studies and comparative studies of several countries are used most commonly. Some of the researchers attempt to put the postcommunist model into the traditional typology of G. Esping-Andersen's three models – liberal, conservative and social democratic. However, there is a growing consensus, that the postcommunist states have the features of all three models, are unique and therefore form a separate model. Taking this into account, the aim of this paper is formulated – to identify and analyze social model of post-communist states. G. Esping-Andersen's classification of welfare regimes is considered to be the main and most prevalent in the scientific community, however, many countries have different features of all G. Esping-Andersen's types and do not match just one of the models exactly. It is for this reason that the typology of G. Esping-Andersen has received a lot of criticism of its rigor and therefore there are many attempts to correct, adjust or extend this typology, usually by adding one or more models. One of these attempts applies to the search for a post-communist model. The analysis of social models proves that the social policy of post-communist countries does not reflect any type of G. Esping-Andersen's typology and is so mixed and specific that it should be considered as a separate post-communist model. The post-communist countries are characterized by a lower level of economic and social development, high levels of corruption, high migration rates, social inequality, lower levels of social protection, etc. It was determined that the welfare system of the post-communist states was influenced by three factors: the legacy of the past, the influence of the West and political reforms. The legacy of the past is, above all, communist experience, although it has been proven that the origins of the development of social models and welfare of the post-communist countries backs to the German and Austro-Hungarian empires. The influence of the West is mostly connected to the European Union (because states had to meet strict requirements and make social, economic and political changes in order to become the members of EU) and other international organizations (such as World Bank, International Monetary Fund). Political reforms are mainly related to expanding citizens' rights, increasing social protection and social services. The biggest challenge to the creation of social model and a welfare system was the period of transformation, which took place under difficult circumstances, and was accompanied by shocks, upheavals: in the early 1990's the economic recession has begun, the legacy of the socialist model has led to a limitation of financial resources, the state has faced major demographic changes, the socioeconomic structure of society has changed, savings in the social security system increased as well as poverty, unemployment, inequality etc.

The article analyzes the functioning of the Lithuanian media system. Based on the D. Hallin's and P. Mancini's theoretical scheme of media systems (Democratic Corporatist, Liberal and Polarized Pluralist), the main features of the system are delineated. This is achieved by the analysis of four media system dimensions: development of newspaper industry, political parallelism in the media, professionalization of journalism, and the role of the state in the media system. T he claim of the article is that in the formation process of, the media environment (legal, political, economic) and self-regulation, the Lithuanian media system acquired features of all three models of media systems. However, features of the Polarized Pluralist model (which are typical of Mediterranean countries) are predominant.
