Bulgaria's membership in the EU is accompanied by the formation of innumerable bene-fits and commitments that the country receives as inevitable effects of its integration. Participa-tion in the EU is a prerequisite for improvement and supranational unification in the regulation of certain elements in the national legal framework and in the organization of administrative services in the country. However, for more than a decade there have been areas in which the established regulatory framework is not adequately reflected in the work of the Bulgarian ad-ministrative structures. The paper examines the application of the identifier Personal Number for EU citizens permanently residing in the Republic of Bulgaria, where it is found that it is insuffi-ciently applied, which results in bad practices and practical difficulties.

Abstract The authors present the issues and challenges related to the changes in status of a company and its impact on competitiveness. Status changes of companies, mostly mergers and acquisitions of companies, are one of the ways in which capital owners and management direct economic activities with the aim of maximizing profits. In order to make the right and justified decision, in terms of achieving the economic interests of the company, it is essential to know the laws and regulations in this area. This paper should provide answers on various questions which will be presented to decision makers in every company, considering status changes. Bearing in mind that the question of status changes often associated with an international element, the authors will pay special attention on the EU legislation and current legal framework in the Republic of Serbia.

In recent years there has been brewing up a necessity in Russia to change direction of its external energy policy radically as a result of unconstructive and hugely politically charged approach of the EU - main and traditional partner of Russia - to settlement of fundamental issues in bilateral cooperation. First of all this refers to failed efforts to create regional energy security system, based on respective institutions and legal framework, by reason of unwillingness of the EU to respect the Russian standpoint as an exporter of energy resources. As a result, there is a legal vacuum today in energy cooperation between Russia and the EU, which they failed to fill. The current political crisis in Europe, which is caused by accession of the Republic of Crimea to the Russian Federation and events in Ukraine, has aggravated long-standing problems of energy partnership EU-Russia. At the same time active EU policy on diversification of energy sources and supply routes discredits peculiar role of Russia as EU key energy supplier. These factors have triggered a significant revision of Russian interests in favor of eastern direction. A new promising contract with China on 21 May 2014 and memorandum with Turkey on 1 December 2014 are the milestones of the present Russian eastern policy. Both contracts can disrupt power balance on the global energy market. The article deals with background and causes for the present Russian eastern activity.

The role of the EU Structural Funds in the national economy of Latvia is significant, yet document management problems in the projects funded by the EU Structural Funds have been little researched. In the period 2007-2019, a gradual transition to electronic project document management occurred in Latvia. The present research performed a comparative analysis of tender documents submitted for ERDF calls for project proposals for the programming periods of 2007–2013 and 2014–2020. The research found that the range of tender documents for ERDF calls for project proposals to be submitted by organisations is strictly regulated in a particular period, yet there are general instructions on how to prepare documents in accordance with the relevant legal framework of the Republic of Latvia. Organisations have to create document management systems to enhance the preparation and management of ERDF project proposal documents.

This chapter reviews the fundamental workings of the EU regulatory framework and its implications for high frequency trading (HFT) and the latest findings on the market realities in the EU. Over the last decade, securities trading landscapes have undergone significant change, with the emergence of HFT being one of the most important developments in this context. At the same time, the EU has made landmark legislative advances with the aim of increasing investor protection, market order, and financial stability, and of containing risks in those areas. As the new MiFID2 legal framework takes effect, a wealth of new data and evidence will become available in coming years that will improve understanding of HFT patterns, the effectiveness of circuit breakers, and their optimal calibration.

The paper analyzes Serbian system of local self-government under the Constitution of 2006 and its possible improvements. There are two major aspects of reform. On the one side, there are weaknesses in internal law and practice that were detected in last three decades and six concrete proposals for their correction. On the other side, considering that Serbia negotiates on integration with the EU, some improvements of the system should be a result of that process, fully in accordance with the European standards of local self-government. Reforming the local self-government in both of these directions should lead to better legal framework in the Republic of Serbia and upgrading the constitutional system.

The EU Flood Directive states that flood risk management plans should focus on prediction, prevention, protection and preparedness. The legal framework of flood management in all countries of Western Balkan is aligned with the EU Flood Directive. Based on the Strategy for Water Management in the Republic of Serbia up to 2034, sector reforms will be implemented in order to achieve the necessary standards in water management. Structural measures (construction of flood defenses). Structural measures identified as “non-regret” in the Action Plan will be implemented through the EU Instrument for pre-accession assistance. The existing system of protection in the Republic of Serbia relies primarily on passive measures. In spite of such important infrastructure facilities, the concept of the fight against floods has proved to be unsustainable in recent times. Whereas the meteorological and hydrological conditions cannot be controlled early warning, preparedness and flood forecasts are essential to reduce the damages of flooding.

One way to combat climate change is to trade with carbon dioxide emissions rights, which in practice are emitted significantly by energy companies. Globally, this trade takes place through various global, regional and local mechanisms. Some of these mechanisms have already been implemented in the Republic of Serbia, while others have yet to be implemented, such as the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). A prerequisite for participation in these mechanisms is the existence of an appropriate regulatory framework through which the trade of carbon dioxide emissions rights could be freely conducted in the Republic of Serbia. Since such regulatory framework has not yet been established in the Republic of Serbia, this article intends to show the relevant global mechanisms with a focus on EU legislation, as well as to show the potential challenges that participants in the energy market could potentially face if they want to trade carbon dioxide emissions rights within the existing legislative framework in the Republic of Serbia.

This paper examines the new legal framework on consumer Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in the EU. Its primary contribution lies in identifying that harmonising the complaint submission in a pan-European Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform, and directing parties to nationally approved ADR entities that comply with minimum standards, will not fulfil the potential of an extra-judicial consumer redress system. This paper proposes key functions that the ODR platform should incorporate if it is to provide effective redress. This paper also argues that a successful ODR platform should include built-in incentives that encourage parties to: (i) participate in approved ADR processes; (ii) settle complaints with little or no intervention from neutral third parties; and (iii) ensure voluntary compliance with final outcomes.

The area of the European Union (EU) is characterized by general liberalization, ie. "Free flow of people, goods, services, and capital", which is why the organized crime with international elements seriously affects the security of entire regions. Given that no country, regardless of its resources, can confront the threats of the global environment on its own, the need to create a single legislative framework aimed at strengthening the internal security system of the EU and its member states have become necessary. The mentioned unified legislation leads to the centralization of the security area at the supranational level, ie. delegation of competencies of the Member States to the institutions of the Union. In the global fight against organized crime, with the entry into force of the Law on Ratification of Stabilization and Association Agreements between the European Communities and their Member States, on the one hand, and The Republic of Serbia, on the other1 Serbia has committed itself to gradually harmonizing its national legal framework with acquis communautaire, as well as to apply them consistently. Given that, in this paper will be considered the harmonization of certain provisions of the Law on Organization and Competences of State Bodies in the Suppression of Organized Crime, Terrorism and Corruption, ie. international cooperation in criminal matters systematized in Chapter 24 - Justice, Freedom, and Security.

The Republic of Serbia, within the framework of (intolerably) frequent amendments to the criminal legislation (often rooted in populist demands), has also improved its response to violence against women, which is the subject of this paper. In the first place, new criminal offences have been analyzed, as well as the more severe legislative penal policy, the main features of the Law on the Prevention of Domestic Violence, and the link between the legal framework and the judicial practice, in order to point out the existing shortcomings. The author concludes that changes in approaches are most often explained as necessity due to European integration, and harmonization with the EU law (in the field of protection of women from violence, for which the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence is of particular importance), so there is an impression that the changes are more formal, declarative and not well-thought-out.
