The Scope of Author’s Moral Right of Integrity in Serbian Law
No full textThis paper focuses on the scope of the author’s moral right of integrity in Serbian copyright law. The analysis indicates that the Serbian Law on Copyright and Related Rights (LCRR) contains a broad, instructive provision on the moral right of integrity which leaves space for flexible interpretations. Consequently, the Serbian courts are left to deal with the question of potential scope regarding the right of integrity on a case-by-case basis, depending on specific factors of each individual case. In doing so, the courts should stay within boundaries set by the inherent characteristic and nature of this right. They should be careful not to step into the zone of overprotection of the moral right of integrity that easily can happen if the provision(s) of the LCRR are interpreted and applied literally. In the paper it is argued that the protection provided by the right of integrity should not go beyond the protection of the justified (reasonable and acceptable) author’s personal interests related to the preservation of the work’s integrity. Also, it should be ensured that the protection does not unreasonably impede conflicting legitimate interests of other involved stakeholders
Regulatory Barriers to Corporate Restructuring Through Disposition of Major Assets - A Serbian Perspective
No full textThis article contains a critical analysis of the existing Serbian legal provisions that limit the possibility of a major asset disposition as a way of restructuring companies. In this regard, the authors have identified three main problems affecting such asset deals in Serbia, which can be considered regulatory barriers to this type of restructuring. The three problems are: the specific regulation of necessary shareholder approval and appraisal rights, the unavoidable assumption of liabilities by the purchaser (the buyer or the transferee) and the inadequate implementation of the EU Transfer of Undertakings Directive concerning employee protection. The solutions adopted in Serbian law are analyzed using a comparative approach, especially based on the rules adopted in Europe, including South-East Europe and the U.S. as a reference. It is interesting to show how different influences from these other jurisdictions have led to the specific (unique) development of the Serbian regulation with regard to dispositions of major assets. The ultimate goal of the present article is to examine the possibility and the need for harmonization of these issues on the regional (supranational) level
Antecedents of University Entrepreneurship: Empirical Evidence from Serbian Public Universities
Get PDFThe aim of this paper is to portray the effects of individual entrepreneurial orientation of the faculty (professors, teaching assistants and researchers) on entrepreneurial outcomes and outputs of Serbian higher education institutions. Particular objective of the paper is to examine and explore how research mobilization, unconventionality, industry collaboration and university policies affect entrepreneurial outcomes ??? joint research agreements, contractual agreements, consulting activities, establishment of spin-offs and patenting. For this purpose, primary data were collected at Serbian public universities. In total, 552 respondents correctly fulfilled the questionnaire specifically designed to meet the purpose of the study. The results indicate that entrepreneurial orientation plays a statistically significant role in entrepreneurial outcomes. However, entrepreneurial orientation is more important in commercial than non-commercial research outcomes
Fostering of the EU capital markets union
Get PDFU centru pažnje ovog rada je ideja formiranja i jačanja unije tržišta kapitala EU. Reč je o jednom ambicioznom političkom, ekonomskom i pravnom projektu EU. Ova ideja, usmerena na formiranje jedinstvenog evropskog tržišta kapitala, se do sada realizovala u brojnim pravnim reformama i drugim aktivnostima i merama. Izvršene su značajne izmene pravnog okvira finansijskih tržišta, naročito tržišta kapitala, te nema važnije teme u ovoj oblasti koja je zaobiđena. Cilj rada je da upozna domaću stručnu javnost sa idejom stvaranja unije tržišta kapitala EU. Rad pruža celovitu sliku razloga koji su doveli do reforme tržišta kapitala i prikazuje kako je ona do sada sprovedena. Rad ukazuje i na dalje reforme koje se mogu očekivati. Na taj način se pruža mogućnost domaćoj javnosti da sagleda ideju unije tržišta kapitala EU, kako bi sa više razumevanja mogla da prati reforme koje se sprovode u oblasti tržišta kapitala u Republici Srbiji.In this paper the author presents an overview of the idea of forming and strengthening the capital markets union (CMU) - an ambitious political, economic and legal project of the EU. This idea, aimed at the formation of a single European capital market, has so far been implemented through numerous legal reforms and other activities and measures. Significant changes were made to the current legal framework of financial markets, especially capital markets, and no important topic in this area has been bypassed. The paper aims to familiarize domestic public with the idea of creating the EU CMU. It also provides a comprehensive view of the reasons that led to reform and its implementation in the EU so far, as well as expected further reforms. The domestic public is given the opportunity to look at the EU CMU idea in order to follow reforms in the Republic of Serbia with greater understanding
The consitutional obligation of an identical tax treatment of marriage, common law partnerships and same-sex partnerships in the Republic of Serbia
Get PDFU ovom radu autor usmerava svoju pažnju na načelno pitanje poreskog tretmana istopolnih zajednica u poređenju sa tretmanom koji je predviđen za heteroseksualne bračne i vanbračne zajednice u srpskom pravu. Različit tretman određenih društvenih pojava može predstavljati zabranjeni oblik diskriminacije samo pod uslovom da pokažemo da su posmatrane pojave uporedive, i to upravo iz perspektive objekta zaštite koji je predviđen zabranom diskriminacije. Problem sa kojim se suočavamo jeste da se naše razumevanje određenih pojava menjalo kroz vreme, za šta je najbolji primer činjenica da bi i Aristotel, tvorac koncepta diskriminacije, imao problem da razume tvrdnju da su svi ljudi jednaki u svojim pravima i obavezama pred zakonom. Autor polazi od premise da poreski tretman istopolnih zajednica treba posmatrati kroz vizuru načela jednakosti u poreskom pravu, koje je sadržano u čl. 91. st. 2. Ustava Srbije kojim se nalaže da je obaveza plaćanja poreza i drugih dažbina opšta i da se zasniva na ekonomskoj moći obveznika. Stoga u slučaju da istopolna zajednica sadrži iste one aspekte koji utiču na ekonomsku moć obveznika, aspekte koji postoje u slučaju heteroseksualnog braka i vanbračne zajednice, Ustav Srbije nam nalaže da joj obezbedimo istovetan poreski tretman koji je posledica života u heteroseksualnoj zajednici. Na ovaj način autor otvara prostor i za kritički osvrt na poreske norme Nacrta zakona o istopolnim zajednicama iz 2021. godine, odnosno za predlaganje rešenja koja bi omogućila lakše, a pre svega održivije, postizanje osnovnog cilja kome se teži, a to je svakako otklanjanje diskriminacije istopolnih zajednica u srpskom pravnom sistemu.In this paper the author focuses on the question of the tax treatment of same-sex partnerships in comparison to the treatment provided for heterosexual marriages and common law partnerships (extramarital unions) in the Serbian law. Namely, different treatment of certain social phenomena can represent a prohibited form of discrimination only under the condition that we show that the observed phenomena are comparable, precisely from the view point of the object of protection provided by the prohibition of discrimination. The problem we face is that our understanding of certain phenomena has changed over time, as best illustrated by the fact that Aristotle, who introduced the concept of discrimination, would have found it difficult to understand the postulate that all people are equal in their rights and obligations before the law. The author starts from the premise that the tax treatment of same-sex partnerships should be viewed through the perspective of the principle of equality in tax law, the principle contained in Article 91, para. 2 of the Serbian Constitution, which stipulates that the obligation to pay taxes and other duties shall be general and based on the economic power of taxpayers. Therefore, if a same-sex union contains the same aspects that affect the economic power of taxpayers, aspects that exist in the case of heterosexual marriage and extramarital union, then the Serbian Constitution requires us to provide it with equal tax treatment resulting from living in a heterosexual partnership. In this way the author opens up the space for a critical review of the tax norms in the 2021 Draft Law on Same-Sex Partnerships, i.e. for proposing solutions that would enable easier, and above all more sustainable key goal the law aspires to, which is to eliminate discrimination of the same-sex partnerships in the Serbian legal system
The nature and the status of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers and Specialist Prosecutor's Office: The European Union project implemented through "Kosovo legislation"
Get PDFU ovom radu autor razmatra pitanja vezana za prirodu i status Specijalizovanih veća i Specijalizovanog tužilaštva Kosova čije osnivanje je projektovano od Evropske unije (u oblasti spoljne i bezbednosne politike) i sprovedeno putem instrumentarija tzv. Republike Kosovo uz punu logističku i finansijsku podršku Evropske unije. Po prirodi stvari, imajući u vidu da se bavi ključnim događajima iz perioda 1998-2000.godine, ove pravosudne institucije će se nužno baviti pravnim kvalifikacijama i statusom glavnih učesnika u sukobima na teritoriji Kosova i Metohije. Pravni i institucionalni okvir koji je nastao formiranjem Specijalizovanih veća i Specijalizovanog tužilaštva Kosova upravo omogućava sprovođenje politike tužilaštva koja ide u pravcu "legalizacije" Oslobodilačke vojske Kosova i jačanja zahteva pojedinih političkih aktera za nezavisnošću Kosova.In this article, the Author considers various issues concerning the nature and the status of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers and Specialist Prosecutor's Office whose establishment was projected by the European Union (in the field of foreign and security policy) and implemented through legal instruments of the so-called "Republic of Kosovo", with the full logistical and financial support of the European Union. Those judicial institutions deal with key events from 1998 to 2000 and also with the legal qualifications and status under international law of the main actors in the conflict on the territory of Kosovo and Metohija. The institutional and Legal framework established by the creation of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers and Specialist Prosecutor's Office enables implementation of the prosecutorial policy that goes in the direction of the "legalization" of the Kosovo Liberation Army and strengthening the claim of certain political actors for Kosovo independence
Online Intermediary Liability in Serbian Law: Reconciling IP Protection and Freedom of Expression
No full textThis paper focuses on intermediary liability for online infringements of intellectual property rights in Serbian law. Following the EU model, the Serbian legislator introduced a ‘safe harbor’ rule, securing an immunity regime for online intermediaries, under specific conditions. However, the recent reform of Serbian copyright and trademark law allowed for an injunctive relief against online intermediaries. The purpose for the injunction can be to obtain the information on the primary infringer, so that an action can be directed against it, and/or to remove the infringing content from the intermediary’s network. The injunction mechanism needs to be used prudently, so as to avoid any possible abuse for the purpose of restricting the freedom of expression. The freedom of expression and privacy concerns are particularly generated with respect to the right of information, i.e. the conditions under which a right owner can learn the identity of the infringer, and the scope of specific filtering measures which may be imposed to online intermediaries
The role of Mihailo Konstantinović in the state redesigning of The Kingdom of Yugoslavia
Get PDFMihailo Konstantinović je poznat pravničkoj i široj srpskoj i jugoslovenskoj javnosti kao jedan od najvećih civilista svog vremena. Zna se i da je obavljao visoke javne funkcije neposredno pre i posle Drugog svetskog rata. Najpre, od 1939. do 1941. godine kao ministar u vladi Cvetković-Maček, potom, kao predsednik Komisije za izradu nacrta Ustava od 1946. godine. Upućenijima je poznato i da je pre Drugog svetskog rata bio učitelj pravnih nauka prestolonaslednika Petra Drugog Karađorđevića. Međutim, ne samo šira već i uža, pravnička javnost nije svesna toga da je Konstantinović bio političar u najboljem smislu te reči, istinski državnik, konkretno, glavni arhitekta Sporazuma Cvetković-Maček od 1939. godine, koji je predstavljao pokušaj da se spreči raspad Kraljevine Jugoslavije u izuzetno teškim međunarodnim okolnostima. Ovaj članak ima cilj da osvetli ulogu Konstantinovića u državnom preuređenju Kraljevine Jugoslavije i da ukaže na svu složenost njegove ličnosti koja se iskazala na tom zadatku.Mihailo Konstantinović is well known to the Serbian and Yugoslav audience as one of the greatest civil law lawyers of his time. He was active in the state administration immediately before and after the Second World War: first, as a minister in the Cvetković-Maček Government, 1939-1941; then, as a chairman of the 1946 Constitution-Drafting Committee. Prior to the Second World War, he was also legal sciences teacher to Crown Prince Petar Karađorđević II. However, Mihailo Konstantinović was also a politician in the best meaning of that term, a true statesman, more specifically, the chief architect of the 1939 Cvetković-Maček Agreement, which represented an attempt to save the Kingdom of Yugoslavia from breaking up. This article aims to shed light on the role he played in the state redesigning of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and on the complexity of his personality, which was revealed through this role
On the institution of representation in private law
Get PDFUgovor o nalogu (mandatum) nastao je u rimskom pravu. Na temelju tog ugovora uređeno je posredno zastupanje. Prve moderne građanske kodifikacije priznaju neposredno zastupanje na osnovu punomoćja, ali ga vezuju za ugovor o nalogu. Samostalna ustanova punomoćja nastaje u nemačkom pravu u drugoj polovini XIX veka pri čemu je najveću zaslugu u osamostaljivanju punomoćja od mandata imalo učenje Paula Labanda. U slučaju neposrednog zastupanja pravna dejstva preduzetih pravnih radnji neposredno nastupaju za zastupanog. S obzirom na to da prilikom preduzimanja pravne radnje zastupnik izjavljuje volju, postavlja se pitanje da li izjavljenu volju treba shvatiti kao volju zastupnika ili volju zastupanog. Savremena literatura je u neposrednom zastupanju pre sklona da vidi zamenu volje zastupanog voljom zastupnika. Takvo shvatanje prirode zastupanja u privatnom pravu ima zanimljivo poreklo koje seže u XIII vek.Mandate contract was created in Roman law, thanks to which was regulated indirect representation. The first modern civil codes have acknowledged direct representation based on a power-of-attorney but linked it to a mandate contract. The power-of-attorney as an independent institute emerged in the late 19th century under German law, with Paul Laband's theory taking the biggest credit in the separation of the power-of-attorney from the mandate contract In the case of the direct representation, the legal effects of undertaken legal acts directly occur for the represented person. Considering that when undertaking a legal act, the representative declares the will, the question arises whether the declared will should be understood as the will of the representative or the will of the represented. Answering the question, contemporary legal writers tend to see the replacement of the will of the represented by the will of the representative. Such an understanding of the nature of representation in private law has an interesting origin that dates back to the 13th century
Legal regime of real estate acquired with funds from a loan contract concluded before or during the marriage
Get PDFU vremenu u kojem se kupovina nepokretnosti - pre svega stanova - u značajnoj meri finansira sredstvima iz kredita, a u kojem statistika beleži povećan broj razvoda brakova, postaje aktuelno pitanje pravnog režima nepokretnosti stečenih sredstvima iz ugovora o kreditu. Neophodno je razgraničiti dve grupe slučajeva: prvo, slučajeve kada je jedan supružnik pre braka zaključio ugovor o kreditu i tim sredstvima finansirao kupovinu nepokretnosti, pri čemu je kredit nastavio da otplaćuje u braku; i drugo, slučajeve u kojima je nepokretnost finansirana sredstvima iz kredita kupljena u braku, da bi nakon prestanka braka jedan supružnik nastavio da otplaćuje kredit. Autor zapaža da osetljivost pojedinih situacija nekada navodi sudove da umesto putem striktne primene propisa krenu putem načela pravičnosti. Iako je svako udaljavanje od slova zakona opasno, nesporno je da je položaj sudova često nezavidan kada je reč o imovinskim odnosima supružnika, budući da se odlukom utiče i na živote članova jedne porodice.In a time when the purchase of real estate - especially apartments - is largely financed by long-term loan agreements, and when statistics show that the number of divorces is increasing year after year, the question of the real estate legal regime acquired through loan agreements is becoming an increasingly important issue. In order to properly understand the problem of the legal regime of real estate, it is necessary to distinguish two groups of cases: firstly, the cases when one spouse concluded a loan contract before marriage and used that money to finance the purchase of a certain real estate; secondly, the cases in which the real estate was financed with funds from the loan acquired during marriage, but which (the marriage) was shortly after terminated and only one spouse continued to repay the loan
