The author - using empirical data - claims that a meritocratic approach to public governance in Poland does not seem deeply rooted. The research indicates that since mid-November 2015 until the beginning of November 2017 meritocratic rules have been totally ignored in governmental institutions including state-owned companies. Many legal regulations were enacted in order to introduce changes in managing bodies responsible for key public institutions as well as companies. The drive to improve their effectiveness were not of prime importance. The key criterion for promoting was based on the decision-maker's personal trust. There are many implications of the above-mentioned development, including a loss of trust to the state resulting in a moral degeneration from the perspective of political class as well society as a whole.

The paper deals with state border control. The introduction stresses the importance ofboth the existence and preservation of state borders without which no country in the worldcould exist. Moreover, through the implementation of effective and quality control, thevalues that a certain society has achieved are maintained, which is also a guiding principleof this paper. Regardless of the subject matter itself, it is always important to start froma theoretical approach, thus here we give a clear definition of state borders, the notion ofborder, types of borders and everything that makes them exist as such. An important roleof the EU regulation in the fight against and prevention of organised smuggling of peopleis emphasised and theoretical assumptions thereof are presented. The role of the EU bodiesand systems, such as FRONTEX and the Schengen Information System, is also extremelyimportant. The Republic of Croatia plays a very proactive role in this respect because of itsspecific position and the fact that its borders are at the same time the longest external landborders of the European Union. In this regard, it is necessary to act in a systematic, organisedand coherent manner together with all EU Member States in order to prevent any negativeimpacts of migrant waves. ; Tema je ovoga rada nadzor državne granice.

The article concerns the idea as well as the form of international cooperation between states and international organizations, illustrated by the example of the relationship between the European Union and the Pacific region. There is some useful literature on the subject but this needs be to completed. The influences of the world's leaders collide on the Pacific Ocean, which gives this area primacy in geopolitical domination, slowly downgrading the Atlantic Community. The main purpose of the paper is, therefore, to research the possibilities and methods of legal and extrajudicial cooperation betweentwo continents which are very distant from each other. This work underlines the difference between official policy, presented by the regional intergovernmental organizations, and the individual policies of member states, who are not tied down by Brussels politics and may maintain their own foreign relations. ; The article concerns the idea as well as the form of international cooperation between states and international organizations, illustrated by the example of the relationship between the European Union and the Pacific region.

The influences of the world's leaders collide on the Pacific Ocean, which gives this area primacy in geopolitical domination, slowly downgrading the Atlantic Community. The main purpose of the paper is, therefore, to research the possibilities and methods of legal and extrajudicial cooperation between two continents which are very distant from each other.

The main objective of the article is to show that the temporary symbiosis between centres of political power and organized crime leads to the development of permanent, corrupt and opaque networks. Focusing on the countries of the Western Balkans, the author points to the reasons for the development of organized crime in the region and then to the conditions created in the post-conflict period that resulted in the failure of effective attempts to stop organized crime and the corruption that facilitates it in the these countries. The article also points out that the creation of symbiotic relationships between political elites and organized crime groups leads to a 'state capture.' The unresolved problems of corruption and organized crime, in turn, have a direct impact on these countries' EU-integration processes.
