Contribution of Mihailo Konstantinović to the modernization of the Yugoslav economy: The establishment of the Foreign Trade Court of Arbitration
Get PDFSpoljnotrgovinska arbitraža u Beogradu predstavlja jedno od velikih i trajnih dela koja su ostala iza profesora Mihaila Konstantinovića. On je bio jedan od glavnih proponenata njenog osnivanja i njen prvi predsednik. U tom svojstvu, bio je u prilici da usmerava rad Spoljnotrgovinske arbitraže tako da ona što pre dobije poverenje privrednih subjekata i izgradi autoritet i u zemlji i u inostranstvu. Statistike potvrđuju da se beogradska Arbitraža veoma brzo svrstala među vodeće svetske arbitražne institucije i da je postala uticajna i na nacionalnom i na međunarodnom planu. U radu se predstavljaju i analiziraju različiti načini na koje je profesor Konstantinović animirao rad Spoljnotrgovinske arbitraže i njenim uspešnim rukovođenjem započeo moderno doba razvoja jugoslovenskog i srpskog arbitražnog prava.The Foreign Trade Court of Arbitration in Belgrade is one of the historic landmarks left behind by Mihailo Konstantinović. Professor Konstantinović was one of the main proponents of the establishment of this institution and he served as its first president. In that capacity he was in a position to steer the work of the FTCA so that it gained the trust of the business community as quickly as possible and became a reputable arbitral institution both in Yugoslavia and abroad. Records show that the Belgrade Court of Arbitration soon became a leading arbitral institution worldwide and its influence spread far beyond the Yugoslav market. The article presents and analyzes different methods and instruments that Professor Konstantinović used to develop the FTCA and shows how the successful establishment of this institution brought arbitration in Yugoslavia and Serbia into the modern era
Combining methods of sale of bankruptcy debtor's property
Get PDFZakon o stečaju predviđa tri metoda prodaje imovine stečajnog dužnika: javno nadmetanje, javno prikupljanje ponuda i neposrednu pogodbu. U sudskoj praksi se postavilo pitanje (ne)mogućnosti kombinovanja metoda prodaje imovine stečajnog dužnika. Primera radi, postavlja se pitanje da li je moguće imovinu stečajnog dužnika prodati tako što će se najpre sprovesti postupak javnog prikupljanja ponuda, a zatim nastaviti postupak javnog nadmetanja, sa ciljem da se dođe do najveće moguće vrednosti imovine stečajnog dužnika. Dakle, osnovno pitanje na koje u radu treba odgovoriti je da li je moguće kombinovanje metoda prodaje imovine stečajnog dužnika, ako je tako moguće postići najveću vrednost njegove imovine. Ovo pitanje je značajno, imajući u vidu da je osnovni cilj stečaja najpovoljnije kolektivno namirenje stečajnih poverilaca ostvarivanjem najveće moguće vrednosti imovine stečajnog dužnika.Serbian Law on Bankruptcy provides for three methods of sale of bankruptcy debtor's property: public auction, public collection of offers and direct agreement. The case law raises the question of the (im)possibility of combining the methods of sale of the bankruptcy debtor's property. For example, the question arises whether it is possible to sell the bankruptcy debtor's property, firstly, by conducting a public collection of offers, and after that a public auction, in order to reach the highest possible value of the bankruptcy debtor's property. Hence, the main question in this paper is whether it is possible to combine the methods of sale of the bankruptcy debtor's property, if it represents a way of achieving the highest value of the bankruptcy debtor's property. This issue is important, given that the main aim of bankruptcy shall be to ensure the most favorable collective settlement of bankruptcy creditors by achieving the highest possible value for the bankruptcy debtor's property

Analysis of the implementation of the law on prevention of domestic violence
Get PDFU analizi koja je predmet ovog rada proučavaćemo podatke o primeni Zakona o sprečavanju nasilja u porodici u periodu 2018-2020. Primenom statističke metode, analize sadržaja, komparativne i formalnologičke analize, u radu su analizirani podaci Ministarstva unutrašnjih poslova Republike Srbije, javnog tužilaštva i suda koji se odnose na nasilje u porodici. Afirmativni efekti primene Zakona o sprečavanju nasilja u porodici trebalo bi da budu prevencija - smanjenje događaja nasilja u porodici, smanjenje broja krivičnih dela nasilja u porodici, buđenje svesti o prijavljivanju nasilja, bolja saradnja nadležnih državnih organa u sprečavanju i suzbijanju nasilja u porodici, uticaj na dosledniju primenu odredaba drugih zakona usmerenih na suprotstavljanje nasilju u porodici. Identifikovano je da nadležni državni organi nejednako primenjuju zakonske odredbe, zbog čega žrtve nasilja u porodici nemaju iste mogućnosti da ostvare pravo na zaštitu. Kao ključni uzrok opisanog problema potvrđena je različita praksa postupanja nadležnih organa u suprotstavljanju nasilju u porodici.In this paper we examine data related to the implementation of the Law on Prevention of Domestic Violence, between 2018 and 2020, provided by the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Serbia, the Public Prosecutors Office, and the courts. The positive effects of the implementation of the Law on Prevention of Domestic Violence should be preventive - reducing incidents, reducing the number of crimes, raising awareness regarding the reporting of violence, better cooperation between state authorities in prevention and suppression of domestic violence, more consistent implementation of provisions of other laws directed at fighting domestic violence. It has been noted that the competent state authorities implement legal provisions unequally, which causes the victims of domestic violence not to have the same possibilities in exercising their right to protection. A key cause of this issue has been varying practices by competent authorities in fighting domestic violence
From inheritability to non-inheritability of the legal duty of spousal support
Get PDFSaglasno porodičnoj regulativi Republike Srbije, zakonska dužnost izdržavanja, između ostalog, prestaje smrću davaoca izdržavanja. Za razliku od srpskog zakonodavca, normotvorci u pojedinim savremenim evropskim pravnim sistemima predviđaju nasleđivanje zakonske dužnosti izdržavanja, između ostalih, i razvedenog supružnika. Takvi, u bitnome drugačiji pristupi regulisanju pitanja nasledivosti zakonske dužnosti izdržavanja razvedenog supružnika, predmet su autorove pažnje. Osim toga što nastoji da izvede zaključak koji je od spomenutih pristupa pravnom uređenju pitanja nasledivosti zakonske dužnosti izdržavanja potpuno ili većim delom u funkciji postbračne solidarnosti, autor razmatra i mogućnost redizajniranja i noveliranja porodičnopravne i naslednopravne regulative Republike Srbije.In accordance with the family regulations of the Republic of Serbia, the legal duty of support, among other things, ends with the death of the provider. Unlike the Serbian legislator, the legislators in some modern European legal systems have envisaged the inheritability of the legal duty of support, among others, for a divorced spouse. These essentially different approaches to regulating the issue of inheritability of the legal duty to support a divorced spouse, are the subject of the authors attention. In addition to trying to draw a conclusion regarding which of the mentioned approaches to the legal regulation of the issue of heritability of the legal support duty fulfills entirely or largely the function of post-marital solidarity, the author considers the possibility of redesigning and amending the family and inheritance regulations of the Republic of Serbia
Something is rotten in the state of America: Product market competition decline in the US?
Get PDFBased on available theoretical and empirical research, the paper demonstrates that although some decline in the product market price competition in the US has been observed, the non-price competition has become more intensive, therefore enhancing competitive constraints. Increased markups (although the magnitude of the change is disputed) are primarily due to investments in Research and Development and brand development, which have created a substantial increase in intangible assets and rise of fixed costs. In the environment of cost-heterogenous firms, markups are not necessarily evidence of market power, which should be associated only with negatively sloped residual demand curve. The declining share of labour in the value added and increasing income inequality cannot be explained by the ostensible decline of competition in the US product markets, but by technological progress and globalisation. Three vulnerabilities of the competition in the US are identified: killer acquisitions, common ownership, and legal barriers to entry
Distinction between right to compensation for damages and right to the insured amount according to Mihailo Konstantinović: Classic institutes and modern law
Get PDFAutorka nastoji da dokaže da razlikovanje prava na naknadu štete i prava na osiguranu svotu, kao preduslov održivog razvoja osiguranja, postoji u delu profesora Kontantinovića. Iako u Skici za zakonik o obligacijama i ugovorima nisu regulisane sve vrste osiguranja koje čine aktuelnu pravnu stvarnost, naš uvaženi profesor kristalno jasno objašnjava da "osigurana suma koju oštećenik dobija od Državnog osiguravajućeg zavoda ne zamenjuje naknadu na koju on ima pravo po opštim pravilima o naknadi prouzrokovane štete od onoga koji je odgovoran za tu štetu". Ta formulacija predstavlja azbuku osiguranja, čija se aktuelnost nije izgubila ni danas. Štaviše, u fokusu je više nego ikada. Osloncem u delu profesora Konstantinovića, autorka argumentuje da je srpski regulatorni okvir - koji sva osiguranja posmatra iz skučene vizure imovinskih ili osiguranja lica - ograničavajući faktor razvitka tržišta osiguranja. Favorabilan pravni okvir ne ograničava usluge osiguranja prema vrsti osiguranja već uvažava tip pokrića i karakter ugovorene prestacije.Author arguments that the distinction between the right to compensation for damage and the right to the insured amount originates from the work of Mihailo Konstantinović. Although the Draft Law on Obligations and Contracts does not regulate all types of insurance, Konstantinović has clearly and precisely stated that "the insured amount received by the insured party from the insurance company does not replace compensation for damage to which the party is entitled, according to the general rules on compensation for damage." This wording has not lost its relevance today. Conversely, it is more relevant than ever. Based on the work of Mihailo Konstantinović, the author presents the argument that the Serbian regulatory framework is a limiting factor to the development of the insurance market. A favorable legal framework does not limit insurance according to the type of insurance, but recognizes the type of coverage and the nature of contracted obligation
Desirability of regulative function of judicial power
Get PDFRasprava se sastoji iz dva dela i u njima se, respektivno, zastupaju dve osnovne teze. Prva je da sudske presude u svim razvijenim pravnim sistemima mogu da budu "izvori" opštih pravila koja će ubuduće na obavezujući način regulisati ponašanje sudova, a onda, sledstveno, i drugih pravnih subjekata, čak i ako nisu formalno priznate kao izvori prava. A druga je da one to treba da budu iz više razloga, od kojih su najvažniji predvidljivost i jednakost. U ovom delu rasprave najpre se izlažu upravo ti normativni razlozi u prilog vršenja regulativne funkcije sudske vlasti, a zatim se pokazuje u kojem pravcu bi sudska vlast mogla da vrši regulativnu funkciju u jednom tipičnom kontinentalnom sistemu, ako sudska vlast, kao celina, prihvata da je vrši.The article presents the follow-up to a previous article which expounds the thesis that in all developed legal systems court judgments can be sources of general rules and standards that will constraint the courts, as decisionmakers, and then, consequently, other legal subjects, even if they are not formally recognized as sources of law. In this article, the normative reasons in favor of performing the regulative function of the judiciary are first presented, with the most important ones being predictability and equ ality. It is then shown in which direction the regulative function could be performed by the judicial power of a typical continental system, if the judiciary, as a whole, accepts to perform it
Normative construction of the life care contract in the Draft Code on Obligations and Contracts and in the Predraft of the Civil Code of the Republic of Serbia
Get PDFOvaj rad je posvećen uporednoj analizi predloga zakonskog uređenja ugovora o doživotnom izdržavanju u Skici za zakonik o obligacijama i ugovorima i predloga koji je učinjen u Prednacrtu građanskog zakonika Republike Srbije. U tekstu se prikazuje istorija razvoja ugovora o doživotnom izdržavanju u srpskom zakonodavstvu i objašnjavaju okolnosti koje su ga oblikovale i postavile u propis posvećen naslednom pravu. Autor posebno kritikuje predloge u Prednacrtu zato što njegovi redaktori nisu iskoristili priliku da stvore nova pravila koja bi odgovarala savremenim okolnostima već su po inerciji preuzeli postojeća pravila iz Zakona o nasleđivanju, u kojima su odavno uočeni značajni nedostaci. Autor zaključuje da ugovor o doživotnom izdržavanju zavređuje novo i sveobuhvatnije zakonsko uređenje koje bi odgovaralo potrebama prakse i koje bi rešilo dosadašnje dileme.The article provides a comparative analysis of the legislative proposals contained in the Draft Code on Obligations and Contracts and the Predraft of the Civil Code of the Republic of Serbia. The text explains the historical development of the life care contract in Serbian legislation and the circumstances that formed it and placed it into codification devoted to law on inheritance. The author is strongly critical of the proposals in the Predraft because its authors did not take advantage of the opportunity to create new rules that would be adequate in contemporary circumstances, but rather copied the existing rules of the Law on Inheritance, which have long been recognized as deficient in certain aspects. The author concludes that the life care contract deserves a new and more comprehensive legislative regime, which would respond to practical needs and solve existing dilemmas
Requirements of the Istanbul Convention in Domestic Criminal Law and Court Practice
No full textThis paper analyses harmonization of the criminal law of the Republic of Serbia with the requirements of the Council of Europe on prevention and combating of violence against women and domestic violence—The Istanbul Convention—ten years after the Republic of Serbia signed it. The focus is on newly introduced criminal offenses (female genital mutilation, stalking, sexual harassment and forced marriage) and implementation of new incriminations in practice. The authors also reviewed the criminal offense of domestic violence, its non-harmonization with the requirements of the Istanbul Convention, observed deficiencies concerning the description of the offense, and its implementation in practice (taking into consideration official statistical data and results of relevant researches). The focus is also on certain legal solutions with relation to criminal-legal respond to violence against women, primarily domestic violence (family-legal and administrative-legal solutions). The goal of the paper is to map the deficiencies and suggest the ways for their overcoming which would be in accordance with the requirements of the Istanbul Convention and provide a better, comprehensive respond to violence against women in Serbia
