Digital copies of works, new forms of exploitation of copyrighted goods, the impossibility of adequate enforcement of intellectual property rights on the Internet and, in this regard, the reexamination of the role of intermediaries, are just some of the issues that have occupied the scientific and professional public. New circumstances necessarily impose changes in the copyright protection regime, including the introduction of new rights but also new exceptions and limitations on copyright. The EU Directive (2019/790) on copyright and related rights in the Digital Single Market introduced exceptions on text and data mining. Given the huge amount of data in the digital environment, the analytical technique is commonly used for text research, data collection and processing. This technique is aimed at finding correlations and patterns, and extracting information from large amounts of data by using automated methods. Text and data mining may be performed in a variety of fields and for different purposes: scientific research, research in journalism, medicine, business, or for market research purposes. Such text and data may be protected by copyright, which gives rise to the question of possible copyright infringement. The new Directive introduced two mandatory exceptions on copyright and related rights for the purpose of text and data mining, one of which is explicitly provided for scientific research purposes. These exceptions are important for the freedom of scientific research in the digital environment but also for some issues related to the development of Artificial Intelligence.","PeriodicalId":192224,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik radova Pravnog fakulteta Nis","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117208337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article aims to indicate the specific position of international adoptions in relation to human traffic-king. To accomplish this goal, the article provides a review of relevant literature on this subject matter, including the views of authors who examined this relationship, with specific reference to current international documents in the field of human trafficking and international adoptions. The inadequate international documents on this matter and the authors' insufficent commitment to exploring this issue more thoroughly have generated different and often contradictory standpoints, and ultimately resulted in diverse and fairly liberal interpretation of certain international law provisions. The literature review allows us to observe the diversity of those views and the lack of common agreement among the authors, particularly on the basic concepts, which is one of the major hindrances in exploring this relationship. In the end, the author of this article suggest that an adequate solution may be the re-examination and reform of international law in the area of human trafficking and international adoptions, which would entail amending and supplementing the existing provisions or regulating illicit intercountry adoptions in a separate international document.","PeriodicalId":192224,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik radova Pravnog fakulteta Nis","volume":"281 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131553749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prica","doi":"10.5937/zrpfn0-33788","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5937/zrpfn0-33788","url":null,"abstract":"Considering that the expansion of legal regulation and multiplication of legal norms in the legal order of the Republic of Serbia have engendered over two hundred (substantive and procedural) legislative acts referring to the application of the General Administrative Procedure Act (GAPA), there is no general law in the Serbian legal order that could be compared to the GAPA in terms of correlation with other laws. Yet, in our judicature and legal science, there are no clear criteria for regulating the relationship between the GAPA and other (subject-specific) legislative acts referring to the application of the GAPA provisions. The relationship between the GAPA and subject-specific legislative acts may be based on the regime of legal subordination and the regime of legal referral. It further leads to the distinction between subsidiary and analoguous application of the general law, which is the author's original standpoint. Analogous application entails the application of the general law in accordance with the nature of the relationship between the legal procedure rules and the subject matter of legal regulation, whereas subsidiary application entails the application of the general law as a whole in all matters which are not regulated by a subject-specific law. In view of the obligation to harmonize subject-specific legislative acts with the GAPA, the author is of the opinion that such harmonization cannot be put into effect without amending the GAPA. Therefore, the GAPA provisions shall: (1) embody the distinction between subsidiary and analogous application of the GAPA, and (2) strengthen the direct application of the GAPA in administrative matters.","PeriodicalId":192224,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik radova Pravnog fakulteta Nis","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132388842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The starting point is that “pure” forms of separation of powers no longer exist even in traditional constitutional states, whereas in the so-called new democracies the practice is focused on exploring ways of rationalizing the traditional form of parliamentarism. Hence, the semi-presidential system as a new form in the 20th century is proving to be a new platform upon which new modalities of the separation of powers are being built. After considering the theoretical framework of semi-presidentialism, the author focuses on the constitutional approach in the process of selecting the organizational model of the separation of powers. The central topic is the constitutional construction of the separation of powers in Serbia since 1990 and its development through two normative constructions. The last part of the paper highlights, in particular, the prospective of the national separation of powers framework and the possible mechanism for balancing two branches of political power.","PeriodicalId":192224,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik radova Pravnog fakulteta Nis","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128347306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the first instance, the existing dispute between the members is resolved by ad hoc panels. In case the parties are dissatisfied with the panel's report, the dispute is finally resolved by the second instance body - the Appellate Body (AB). Since 2017, the United States has repeatedly blocked the appointment of members of the Appellate Body, which has caused a progressive reduction in the number of members. As the mandate of two of the three remaining members ended on 10 December 2019, the highest institution in the WTO dispute resolution system has thus become de facto dysfunctional. The blockade of the Appellate Body has resulted in a crisis in the WTO dispute settlement mechanism, which ultimately implies that the disputes are not being definitively resolved. In order to remove the blockade of the Appellate Body and its consequences, some WTO members have established a complaint redress mechanism in accordance with Article 25 of the Agreement on Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures (DSU). Article 25 of the DSU envisages the possibility of establishing arbitration for resolving disputes at the multilateral level. This provision serves as a basis for establishing an arbitration mechanism that would act as an alternative to the Appellate Body while it is under blockade. On 30 April 2020, after intensive debates on how to implement this idea, the Multi-party Interim Appeal Arrangement (MPIA) came into force. The MPIA arrangement offers a short-term solution to overcome the problem of blocking the Appellate Body, while members try to find a more permanent solution. This article examines the role that the newly established MPIA would play in the future of the WTO, as well as the procedural innovations it has introduced, which can serve as a trigger for systematic changes in resolving disputes in front of the WTO.","PeriodicalId":192224,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik radova Pravnog fakulteta Nis","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124178436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The major debate in this paper is: what is the causal relationship between democracy and economic development? When we are debating the Democracy-Development Nexus, the key finding of the analysis is reflected in the fact that, in spite of what the evidence in the scholarly literature is mixed and inconclusive, there is little disagreement that over time democracy and development are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. Although a strong positive link between the GDP per capita (key indicator of economic development) and the degree of development of the democratic structure in the case of selected transition economies has been confirmed, democracy, however, does not exclusively depend on the state of the economy, and economic weakness does not translate directly into the impossibility of democracy.","PeriodicalId":192224,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik radova Pravnog fakulteta Nis","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129320977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
