In Eurocontinental law, it is limited, inter alia, by the right of the heir to a statutory portion (forced heirship). On the other hand, Anglo-Saxon law does not recognize the forced heirship. In Europe, there is a tendency to narrow the circle of mandatory heirs. Testamentary freedom is guaranteed in modern Constitutions, while, on the other hand, it is disputed whether the right to inheritance, guaranteed by the Constitutions, also includes the right of heirs to a mandatory portion. In German law, which is based on the decision of the Federal Constitutional Court from 2005 the right to a forced heirship is considered as a part of public order, even as a part of international public order. On the contrary, in France and Hungary, in situations of crossborder inheritance, the right to a forced heirship does not belong to the domain of international public order. Considering the language and aim of Articles 58, 59 and 66 of the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia, it is difficult to argue that the heir’s right to a mandatory share is covered by the constitutional guarantees enshrined in Articles 59 and 66. On the contrary, Article 58, which guarantees peaceful enjoyment of property rights, and Article 23 (2), guarantee freedom of testamentary disposition. The same is the case with the European Convention on Human Rights, which guarantees freedom of testamentary disposition, but not the right to inherit. A foreign law that does not recognize the right to a forced heirship is not contrary to domestic public order. It is possible that the foreign law contains some kind of functional equivalent that aims to financially secure the mandatory heirs which is the case in Anglo-Saxon legal systems. The application of the lex fori fori allong with the application of the lex successionis is contrary to the principle of fairness in Private International Law. Also, it results in dépécage which is undesirable in PIL and runs counter to the principle of the unity of inheritance property. The application of foreign law governing the inheritance in the Serbian PIL could be limited only in exceptional cases. For example, when the foreign applicable law does not recognize any functional equivalent to a mandatory portion or when the foreign applicable law does not recognize the decedent’s minor children any claim to the inheritance property, so that they remain deprived of means necessary for life and, therefore, fall under the burden of state social assistance. Also, for the application of the part of lex fori, it would be necessary that the case of crossborder inheritance is closely related to domestic legal order. For example, that the mandatory heirs are citizens of Serbia with domicile in Serbia.","PeriodicalId":306662,"journal":{"name":"Pravo i privreda","volume":" 30","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140217026","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}

Despite the fact that the possession is not a right by itself, there is a right to protect possession. The core of the paper consists of an analysis of the existing (domestic) judicial practice and the inconsistency in assessing the fulfilment of conditions for the permissibility of self-help. In the same section, contemporary problems in the application of this legal institute would be presented through an analysis of cases of overstepping the boundaries of self-help and transition into the sphere of self-authority. Special attention will be paid to the question which has arisen in the recent past in Serbia – whether self-help can be exercised preventively and what are its limits? It is emphasized that when assessing the justification of self-help, all the circumstances of the case should be taken into account, where, in addition to the manner and intensity, the circumstances under which the person resorted to self-help should be determined. In the conclusion of the paper, the idea of self-help as an extra-judicial means of protection is justified by the very practical reasons of reducing the workload of the courts and the tendency to reduce the number of possession proceedings and subsequent problems in the implementation of court decisions.","PeriodicalId":306662,"journal":{"name":"Pravo i privreda","volume":" 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140217654","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}

Serbia has been harmonising its legislation with the EU insurance acquis for several decades. Regarding motor vehicle liability insurance, market liberalisation has been prevented by the Law on Compulsory Insurance in Transport – LCIT 2009. LCIT authorised the Association of Insurers of Serbia to determine minimal premium prices with the consent of the National Bank of Serbia – NBS and stipulated mandatory Bonus-Malus System – BMS. Effectively, the NBS laid down minimal premium prices applicable within the BMS grades and conditions for the application of bonuses and maluses. The author analyses EU legislation and the case law of the Court of Justice related to fixing insurance premiums, mandatory BMS and competition law issues in the motor vehicle liability insurance market. The BMS in several EU member states has been compared with the BMS in Serbia. Competition in the motor vehicle liability insurance market in Serbia has been prevented as a consequence of the fixed premium prices and mandatory BMS. The author has also analysed the negative effects of the current legal framework on the motor vehicle liability insurance market structure, pointing out the static market concentration level and the substantial share of motor vehicle liability insurance premiums in the total insurers’ income. It is essential to amend LCIT without delay to liberalise the Serbian motor vehicle liability insurance market.","PeriodicalId":306662,"journal":{"name":"Pravo i privreda","volume":" 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140212681","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}

Procedural order aims to make it easier for the supervisory body to convince itself of the justification of the tariff change.

That is why the Regulation defines a series of measures with the aim of achieving, first of all, ex ante effects on the possibility of unlimited market competition and fairness in the digital sector. With the aim of preventive protection of the digital service marketplace, the Regulation prescribes what the providers of core platform services must not do, or what they are obliged to do and the powers of the Commission in terms of market research. After the conducted research, the Commission can issue an implementing act ordering gatekeeper to stop non-compliant behavior within a reasonable period of time, as well as impose sanctions in the form of fines and periodic penalty payments.","PeriodicalId":306662,"journal":{"name":"Pravo i privreda","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135966063","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 issue has become particularly relevant since April 2022, when the Decree on the transition to payment for natural gas in rubles had been adopted. Particular attention has been drawn to the fact that the first arbitral award has already been issued, in which abovementioned Decree, as an act of a public authority (president of the state), is qualified as force majeure.
