The text is re-examining the previously established dilemma related to whether Serbia (without Kosovo and Metohija) is the country of second demographic transition, i.e.: has the transition been de-blocked, under the assumption that this is a worldwide historical process of transformation of industrialized countries. The last thesis, around which there exists a lot of controversy in the contemporary population theory, is however not dealt with in detail; to the contrary, it is used as the general theoretical framework for the exploration of the most recent tendencies in the transformation of nuptiality and fertility regime in Serbia, as well as in the western and countries in post-socialist transformation. Special attention is given to the ideational changes, more precisely to the specific features of the value profile of the Serbian population, which is one of the most important determinants of the societal framework, that acts in the back of the afore mentioned aggregate demographic indicators. Finally, the hypothesis is posed (which should be further investigated by means of in-depth research and complementary approach) that the speeding-up of the second demographic transition and intensification of the individualisation not only of the partnership but of the parenthood as well, accompanied with the rise of living standard and social support to balancing work and family, would have produced important emancipating and, concomitantly, positive socioeconomic and demographic effects.

This article deals with problems of poverty in Croatian society. The introductory part points out the economic and political circumstances in which the poverty of a considerable number of citizens becomes an important social problem. In the next part, concepts of absolute, relative and subjective poverty are defined. This is followed by an overview of the results of research into the extent of absolute and relative poverty in Croatian society conducted from 1998 to 2009. The results show that the rate of relative poverty basically remained the same throughout the above-mentioned period. Furthermore, it is shown that the risk factors causing citizens' poverty are the following: low level of education, unemployment, low retirement pensions, old age, and large number of children in the family. The author concludes that the Croatian government neither developed nor carried out any systematic and efficient plan of fighting poverty in Croatian society. Adapted from the source document.

The Republic of Serbia has introduced special circumstances for the determination of sentence for hate crime in the Criminal Code amended in December 2012. If a criminal offence is committed through hate based on race or religion, national or ethnic affiliation, sex, sexual orientation or gender identity of another, the court shall consider any aggravating factors except when it is not stipulated as a feature of the criminal offence. However, the State still neglects to consider mitigating factors. Moreover, it does not pay sufficient attention to eliminating verbal expressions of hatred and discrimination that often precede crimes motivated by hate. The paper discusses the possibility of improving education and coordinated activities of the State, particularly of courts, prosecutors, police and local self-governments, to combat hate speech and hate crimes. The aim of the paper is to present mechanisms of improving institutional capacities to prevent these phenomena that have been implemented within the project "Implementation of Anti-Discrimination Policies in Serbia" financed by the European Union. The paper concludes that central to the success of this process are the education of state actors, and the development of a value system based on equality and acceptance of diversity.

Prošle godine ponovo su oživele rasprave o sudbini srušene Njegoševe kapele na Lovćenu, čiji ostaci čame već četrdeset godina na Ivanovim koritima, u obliku gomile numerisanih kamenih blokova, nedaleko od crkve Svetog Preobraženja i Velikog gumna. Ostaje pusta nada da će u godini Njegoševog jubileja biti otvoren put za ponovno podizanje Vladičine zadužbine na Lovćenu i da će, kada njegovi zemni ostaci po sedmi put budu sahranjeni na mestu koje je sam izabrao, konačno prestati razlozi zbog kojih je i napisana ova nevesela knjiga.

At the end of 1944 NDH was in a very difficult military and political position. Not only were strong Tito's Partisan forces operating on its territory, but at the same time Soviets and Partisans occupied Serbia and advanced to the eastern border of NDH. This was the reason for the NDH authorities to reorganise their existing armed forces, and also to organise a nation-wide mobilisation. This organization, which was under control of the civilian authorities, was intended to be filled with men not serving in the armed forces and women. Its main purpose was to help war efforts with various labor activities (agricultural works, construction of fortifications). There were also plans to create armed units of people's defence, but NDH was short of infantry weapons even for its armed forces, so these plans were never materialized. Because of the difficult military situation, people's defence units were never organized in most parts of the NDH. At the same time NDH armed forces organized the People's Uprising Corps under the command of general Metzger. This unit, which was much more effective than the people's defence, was active in Slavonia, Srijem and northern Bosnia and filled with around 40 000 civilians living in that area. Its main duties were agricultural works on farms abandoned by their owners (Volksdeutsche) who were evacuated to the Third Reich, repairment of roads, construction of field fortifications, guard duties, etc. (SOI : CSP: S. 49)

Along with the fast growing economy, the term 'BRICs' was coined to represent the newly emerging countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China. The enhanced economy in these countries has largely improved people's lives; at the same time, it has also strongly influenced the transformation of social structure, norms and values. This book examines specifically the changes in each society from the perspective of social stratification, with topics covering the main social classes, the inequality of education and income, the different styles of consumption as well as the class consciousness and values

У раду је представљена Стратегија Европске уније за Западни Балкан са фокусом на решавању безбедносних проблема заједничких за регион и Републику Србију. Анализа овог стратешког документа и стратешких опредељења Републике Србије у погледу главних безбедносних проблема показује њихову комплементарност. Пре свега, ова документа имају скоро исто виђење безбедносних проблема за које Западни Балкан није само транзитно подручје, већ и крајње одредиште, па чак и извориште. У питању су нарочито: организовани криминал, тероризам и ирегуларне миграције. Њихово спречавање и сузбијање опредељује приоритете српске полиције, који истовремено воде успешној реакцији против криминала и других врста угрожавања безбедности у Србији и постигнућима у испуњавању преузетих обавеза у процесу придруживања ЕУ и усвајања европских тековина. ; This paper presents the EU Western Balkan Strategy and focuses on solving security problems common to the region and the Republic of Serbia. The analysis of this strategic document and strategic orientation of Serbia in relation to main security issues shows their complementarity. First of all, these documents share essentially same views on security issues, for which the Western Balkan is not only a transit area, but a final destination and even the source, particularly organized crime, terrorism and irregular migration. Prevention and suppression of given issues determines priorities of the Serbian police, at the same time leading to successful response to crime and other security threats in Serbia, as well as achievements in meeting commitments in the EU accession process and adopting the European acquis.

The Constitution of 1990 established a bicameral parliamentary system. The constitutional bicameralism has never been seriously theoretically and politically expounded; thus the issue of the representativeness and functionality of the second House of "Sabor" has remained open. The constitution of "zupanija" (county) casts some doubts on the representative function of that body, while the consultative and deliberative functions and especially the interventions into the legislative system by means of the suspensory veto have remained unfulfilled due to the same party's majorities in both houses. Regarding the 1997 electoral results for the House of Counties, this situation will not be dramatically changed. (SOI : PM: S. 103)

This article deals with the history of the Croatian left in the last seventy years with a special emphasis on its role during World War Two. The author analyzes the national policy of the Croatian left towards Croats and Croatia in the second Yugoslav state and highlights numerous positive attempts at solving the Croatian national question. He goes on to point to the difficulties which the Croatian left had to face in achieving the desired aims. The unsatisfactory solution for the Croatian question in the second Yugoslavia was the cause of constant friction and of the disintegration of the Yugoslav federation. The author is of the opinion that the Croatian leftist parties should not repeat the same mistakes and harbour illusions of a Yugoslav community, which has always been extremely detrimental to the Croatian nationalist interests.
