This is a case study of a „classical” issue on the interpretation of money as a special kind of commodity, „balancing” and measuring the value of all the other commodities by its own value. The analysis is based on two main lines. The first line deals with the reasons of the doubts of the representatives of the Austrian School on the necessity to introduce a private market alternative to the „state” money „imposed” by the administration. The second line covers the issue whether and how much the „demonetization” of the precious metals in the 1970-ies as a „classical” symbol of money under the conditions of currency – financial crises, has been replaced now convincing enough by the contemporary circulation of paper money. Very interesting, although not indisputable views on a reform in the global currency are focused, that have been suggested by leading bankers and distinguished scientists.

Subject of this paper is the two-way link between the economic behavior of the family and the labor market processes. The analysis begins with the assumption that the gender division of labor is the economic foundation of the family institution. The article traces the impact of this form of economic organization on the status of women and men in the labor market. It clarifies the way in which some quantitative and structural changes in the market weaken the traditional division of labor between spouses, reduce their economic interdependence, and ultimately call into question the very future of the family institution.

The descriptive analysis was applied to investigate the credit dynamics as well as the factors for credit supply and demand in the EU member states in Central and Eastern Europe, being outside the Eurozone – Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Hungary and the Czech Republic in the period 2008-2012. The analysis has taken into consideration the differences among these seven member states, but the economic activity seems to be the key aspect for the demand of credits as well as for the dynamics of crediting. It has an impact on the bank balances through the dynamics of unserved credits, and hence on the behaviour of commercial banks, respectively - the supply of credits.

The issue of terrorism in tourism is prioritized by the choice of the "soft target" to achieve political goals of terrorists. Estimated risks threaten all subjects in tourism industry and above all to the national economy which thus remains without a significant inflow of funds in its budget. Therefore, the risk management of terrorism is a common need and responsibility of public and private sector in securing the safety of tourists and local residents, which makes security as an necessary prerequisite for profit. The paper discusses the tendency of increasing terrorist threats in the tourism and joint strategies and constraints of all stakeholders in the prevention and combating of threats based on risk assessment and impact analysis.

The criticism of the traditional criminal justice system as well as the develop-ment of the restorative justice movement have generated diverse alternative models which are aimed at resolving disputes in criminal matters by “diverting” the criminal justice proceeding into a less formal yet more efficient and humane alternative pro-ceeding. One of the typical alternative dispute resolution models is the victim-of-fender mediation. Mediation has often been subject to legal regulation at the interna-tional level. For this reason, authors of this article have first focused on exploring the legal documents adopted by United Nations Organization as well as the recommenda-tions and framework decisions of the Council of Europe. Then, in the second part of the paper, they analyze legal provisions in Sweden and Austria, which can be used as illustrations of so called in-court (near-court) and out-of-court mediation. The third part is dealing with Serbian legislation.

All material (corporeal), processing and executive provisions related to criminal law in Republic of Serbia about juveniles are, in the new Law about juvenile comitters and criminal law protection of juveniles from 2006. Janauary 1st (LAJCCA), conjoint in one place. That is how the juvenile criminal law has been created. It is characterized as follows:1) principally, inquest of the juvenile injurers guilt is excluded, 2) among criminal sanctions towards juvenile injurers the priority belongs to the educable provisions comparing to the punishment that presents the exception expressed in juvenile jail implementation. By the way of exception with the juvenile jail can be punished only the older juvenile if he committed a crime for which the proposed punishment is over five years, if he is sufficiently mentally mature that he can understand importance of that crime and he control his acts and if the consequences of the committed crime are that grand, and the extent of guilt that high when the application of educative provisions wouldn’t be justified, 3) in the criminal proceeding towards juveniles, prosecution and juridical apparatus have wide authority in terms of starting, processing and terminating the proceeding. Those authorities consist of discrete rights to withdraw prosecution no matter what is the committed crime, if it is considered that it would be useful in terms of education and reeducation of the juvenile delinquent. The principle of utility has the priority than the principle of objectiveness. The court mandates consist of not only a wide scale of optional means and provisions, but of possibility to replace already delivered verdict with some other more convenient provision, if it is required by the specific situation and 4) in juridical system of the Republic of Serbia there are special jurisdictional bodies for struggle against juvenile criminality: special departments for juvenile delinquency in internal affairs agencies, a prosecuting attorney for juveniles and special juvenile council i.e. the juvenile court that supervises the whole criminal proceeding against any juvenile delinquent. The new juvenile criminal law anticipates two basic types of the juvenile criminal sanctions. These are: 1) the educational measures and 2) the juvenile prison. They are legally anticipated measures of the social reaction towards the juvenile committers of the crime activities that are sentenced the legally determined organs in aim to protect the society from the criminality trough the education, reeducation and proper development of the juvenile. In this paper the author has analysed application of juvenile prison agaist juvenile perpetors of crimes in new juvenile criminal law of Republic of Serbia and comparatice law with theoretical, practical and comparative law aspects.

In this paper the author investigates the mission of book and libraries, as the most important symbols of Gutenberg galaxy, in the Internet age. The starting point of the research is the idea about book as a micromodel of entire culture. All grand shifts of communication paradigms have been followed by sharp polemics of representatives of both old and new technologies. The author emphasizes that the libraries must maintain and transfer knowledge and information in different forms, and to different carriers, media and technologies, and at the same time preserve a relationship with a book as an incarnation and a symbol of culture. Electronic media will not destroy the civilization of a book. They will radically change a way in which people work and think, while, as the time passes, the new communication forms will offer possibilities for appropriate organizing and understanding the world in which we live.

Social development in the contemporary conditions associated with the model of sustainable development. The very term is derived from biological disciplines to the concept of sustainability began gradually to permeate and to be used in other sciences as well as in practice. Except in science, the concept was accepted by the international community, and the concept of sustainable development was adopted as a global concept of development in the Conference in Rio de Janeiro, in order to overcome and find a possible way to solve problems related to the development of modern civilization. Normally deals with the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. The paper points to the partial neglect of the fourth cultural dimension, which is important for achieving development in the true sense, the diversification of cultural and national identity in multicultural societies.

More...Keywords: Big Five; Disintegration; delinquency; prediction of behavior in institution
In this paper we have tried to find out whether the assessment of basic person-ality structure can help to predict adolescent delinquents’ (N=54, average age=18.65 years, SD=1.69) behavior during their time at a reformatory. The research was con-ducted in the Reformatory in Kruševac. Big Five factors of personality and Disinte-gration were used as predictors. Criterion behaviors were measured by questionnaire which explored behavior of Reformatory protégés described by educators who work with them. Factor analysis of this questionnaire revealed three latent dimensions that explain 65.28% of original items variance. According to their content they were named Irritability, Forethought and Manipulation. After that, three hierarchical multiple regression analyses were done, with the obtained factors as criterion variables. The results emphasize the role of Agreeable-ness factor in explanation of criterion behavior, as well as the role of Neuroticism and Extraversion. Modalities of Disintegration which contribute to prediction are: Social Anhedonia, Somatoform Disregulation and General executive dysfunction. In a prac-tical sense, the validity and the significance of basic personality structure assessment in working with delinquents were confirmed.

In the article the author deals with the fact that the child is born with biopsychological dispositions which are characteristics of human kind. Every of each development periods is a special kind of the totality and development, as a process, is consisted of getting from lower and specific development level to a higher and a new quality. The origins of asociality, and even delinquency, may be found in the erliest childhood. In the prepuberty period of development, physical and psychological characteristics of a child influence the development of deviant behavior (juvenile delinquency, youth gangs, suicide). During puberty, a struggle for free oneself of parental dependence reaches its most prominent phase. Adolescence is the most sensitive and vulnerable period of emotional growth and maturity. Each development phase is characterized by some psychological characteristics which are able to carry a risk of victimization. The author has mentioned that the followers of various directions in criminology have interpreted destructive behaviour of children and juveniles from avarious aspects: antropological, biological and psychological.

Keywords: Tito; the Brioni Plenum; Historiography; LCY
Brioni Plenum in 1966 was one of the turning points in history of communistic Yugoslavia. Aleksandar Rankovic, the most powerfull official after Josip Broz, was ousted from power in accusation for consipracy against Josip Broz together with other 1 6 high ranking officials of service of state security (SDB). Even now all reasons of Rankovic's downfall are unknown. Main hypothesis is that he was resisting the reforms of decentralization which was going in direction of creating the Yugolsavia a confederal state. In 1963 Rankovic had become vice president of Yugoslavia and many thought that he will be the Tito's successor. With Rankovic as president of Yugoslavia it would be hard to imagine that crucial changes of the system will be made. This was unacceptable for the agenda of Slovenian, Croatian, Macedonian and majority of Serbian members of LCY. Rankovic's closeness to Broz and his great influence were perhaps crucial. This article is an effort to give answer about his downfall in the angle of great disagreements within LCY and efforts of Josip Broz to eliminate that "gap" by ousting Rankovic. But still is not definitively clear who was the mastermind of events. But some things are sure - Broz was the main figure in his downfall. Without his authority nothing could be done. The second is that without the help of Serbian party members on Federal and Republic level also nothing could be done. They supported removal of Rankovic in desire for further social and economical reform. Also the article is pretending to give hypothesis that not Rankovic, but Josip Broz was the main target. Ousting Rankovic, removing other centralists would disable possibility for center to return to the old Party measures for settling problems in the state. He became obstacle for reformists, but also knew much about everyone's week spots as former head of SDB. Even more interesting is that he was never prosecuted for accusations. Brioni Plenum was heavy blow to Yugoslav SDB, especially within officials of Serbian origin. Weakening the apparatus of repression indeed made liberalization in society, but it was of short breath. Thanks to latter development and historical distance, now we know that there was no Rankovic s conspiracy and that he didn't put wire in Tito's private rooms, and that he was not main threat to reforms and to Broz.

During the years of conflict caused by the Resolution of the Informbureau both Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia cooperated with emigrants from the oposite state within the framework of inimical policy against one another. The most important Czechoslovak emigrant with whome Yugoslavia cooperateed was Bohumil Lausman, former chairman of the Social-Democratic Party and vice-chairman of the government. After fleeing the country in the night of December 31, 1949/Janaury 1, 1950 and a sojourn in West Germany, Lausman came to Yugoslavia and appeared in public at the grand stand during the May Day celebration in Belgrade in 1951. Talks between him and the Yugoslav government on cooperation had already started several months earlier. On the Yugoslav side, contacts with Lausman were kept by Vladimir Dedijer, Milica Saric and Slavko Zore, and the leadership of the Party and the State was acquainted with the whole action. During 1951, 1952 and the first half of 1953 Lausman lived in Yugoslavia and Austria. He proposed joint intelligence and propaganda activities to Yugoslavia, asked for a radio station to be put at the disposal of Czechoslovak emigres, starting of a journal in the Yugoslav territory, dreamed of forming a group at the border with Czechoslovakia and of smuggling the illegal paper into the country. The Yugoslav authorities enabled him to stay in Yugoslavia, to tour the places where members of the Czech and Slovak minorities lived, as well as to write for Yugoslav newspapers. Stalin's death and the beginning of normalization of the relations between Yugoslavia and USSR changed the role emigrants from East European countries played in Yugoslav foreign policy and caused the cooperation with them to be subordinated to the needs of normalization of relations with their respective countries. The kidnapping of Lausman by the Czechoslovak Security Service in late 1953, his transfer to Czechoslovakia where he was sentenced and confined, marked the definite end of his cooperation with Yugoslavia.

Keywords: Second World War; Yugoslavia; USSR; guerrilla war; intelligence activities
The relations between USSR and the People's Liberation Movement attracted attention of historians during the Communist Yugoslavia's existence although the subject was thoroughly dealt with only in Nikola B. Popovic-s book. The mission was jointly prepared by diplomatic, military security and security services of USSR. The chief of the mission General Konyev was a highly educated military intelligence officer, as were most of other members of the mission. After the arrival of Konyev's mission to Bari, Soviet officers and radio-operators spread throughout the Balkans. According to the history of the radio-service RU RKKA, due to Kornyev's mission's arrival a network of radio-stations sprang up in South-East Europe comprising 14 points and the main station ,,Purga-l". The role of the Soviet mission was also important in saving Tito during the German operation ,,R6sselsprung". Tito was afterwards forwarded from the isle of Vis to Moscow where he had the chance to meet Stalin. After that, Tito returned to Craiova, where he was again surrounded by the members of the Soviet military mission. After Belgrade had been liberated from Germans, Tito and the Soviet military mission arrived in Belgrade. The radio-station of the Soviet mission in Yugoslavia, ,,Alfa", went on air there again, and eventually became the radio-station of the Soviet embassy in Yugoslavia.
