The legal framework for occupational safety and health is a key factor in effective policy implementation in this area at the local level. Employees in local self-government units perform tasks of immediate interest for the local population and, because of that, their workplace safety and health is an important issue. Given that there is not much research on the safety and health of employees in local self-government units in the countries of Southeast Europe, there is a need for the analysis of the protection provided by the applicable regulations. The conducted research shows that this category of employees is not specifically recognized either in the regulations on occupational safety and health or in the regulations on local self-government. It is desirable to improve the quality of legal protection which will contribute to the improvement of the workplace safety and health of these employees and will improve the quality of work in local self-governments.

In the Republic of Serbia, many areas are undergoing reform processes that should bring our country closer to the European Union. This incorporates various activities aimed at achieving this goal. In the public sector, especially in the state administration, local self-government, and public services (primarily educational institutions), there are legal solutions which are considerably harmonized with the practice and legal system of similar European countries. Such is the case with the professional training and development of employees in the state administration, local self-government and public services (especially educational institutions). The necessity for employees' continuing activities in these areas is noticed, not only in terms of professional training, but especially in terms of their own professional development. Employees themselves can deal with that, but it is also the obligation of the institutions in which they work. This is particularly important for public sector employees - in state administration, local self-government and public services. The paper provides a legal framework for professional training and development of employees in the state administration, local self-government and public services, especially in the institutions in the field of education, and suggests some ideas for the improvement of particular legal solutions. ; U mnogim oblastima u Republici Srbiji u toku su reformski procesi koji treba da približe našu državu Evropskoj uniji. U okviru toga se sprovode različite aktivnosti usmerene ka ovom cilju. U javnom sektoru, naročito u državnoj upravi, lokalnoj samoupravi, ali i javnim službama (posebno u ustanovama u oblasti obrazovanja), definisana su zakonska rešenja koja su u dobroj meri usklađena sa praksom i pravom evropskih država sličnih nama. Takav je slučaj i sa stručnim osposobljavanjem i usavršavanjem zaposlenih u državnoj upravi, lokalnoj samoupravi, javnim službama (naročito ustanovama u obrazovanju). Uočava se neophodnost kontinuiranih aktivnosti zaposlenih u ovim ...

Environmental law, as a developing branch of legal science, has been gaining in importance recently. As such, its primary task is to examine, define and clearly determine a number of terms in the field of environmental protection. Parallel to this, environmental law has another, seemingly even more important task at this point, which is to offer adequate legal solutions to prevent and stop further environmental degradation, as it is a burning issue in the present time. Sustainable development and environmental law are inseparably associated. Legal acts shall regulate the rules of conduct, among other things, in the field of environmental protection and sustainable development. There is a large number of international and national regulations which deal with the issue of sustainable development. As people obey legal regulations, either from their own beliefs about the correctness of behavior that a legal act requires, or out of fear of sanctions that can follow, it is clear that the regulations in the field of sustainable development represent a very important means which can act as a powerful corrective to undesirable behavior towards the environment.

The global pandemic crisis caused by the coronavirus has demonstrated the importance of occupational safety of healthcare professionals. Workplace risks are not the same across all categories of healthcare professionals. This research is focused on healthcare professionals in psychiatric institutions. We wanted to explore to what extent healthcare professionals are familiar with their rights and obligations in the field of occupational safety. Empirical research was conducted using the survey method. The research sample consisted of healthcare professionals (medical doctors and nurses/technicians) employed at the Special Hospital for Psychiatric Diseases Gornja Toponica in Niš. The study included 215 respondents. The age of the respondents ranged between 20 and 64 years. Their educational qualifications varied from high school education to completed PhD studies. We concluded that the majority of healthcare professionals included in the sample were familiar with legal regulations in the field of occupational safety and health. This is encouraging if we bear in mind the fact that the knowledge of how to react in specific cases, the need for cooperation with persons in charge of occupational safety, and care for occupational safety are preconditions for reducing occupational risks, improving health and increasing safety.

Employees in local self-government units perform tasks of immediate interest for the local population, and their workplace safety and health is an important factor for the effective implementation of all policies at the local level. Given that there is not much research on the safety and health of employees in local self-government units in Serbia and Montenegro, there is a need for the analysis of the protection provided by the applicable regulations in the countries of this part of Europe. The conducted research shows that the right to safe and healthy working conditions in local self-government units is governed by the regulations on workplace safety and health of those countries. It is desirable to improve the quality of legal protection which will contribute to the improvement of the workplace safety and health of these employees and will improve the quality of work in local self-governments. ; Zaposleni u jedinicama lokalne samouprave obavljaju poslove od neposrednog interesa lokalnog stanovništva i njihova bezbednost i zdravlje na radu je važan preduslov efikasne implementacije svih politika na lokalnom nivou. Kako nema mnogo istraživanja o bezbednosti i zdravlju na radu zaposlenih u jedinicama lokalne samouprave u Srbiji i Crnoj Gori, postoji potreba za analizom zaštite obezbeđene važećom regulativom u državama ovog dela Evrope. Sprovedeno istraživanje pokazuje da pravo na bezbednost i zdravlje na radu u zaposlenih u jedinicama lokalne samouprave je garantovano propisima o bezbednosti i zdravlju na radu u ovim državama. Poželjno je unaprediti kvalitet ove pravne zaštite što bi doprinelo unapređenju bezbednosti i zdravlja na radu ovih zaposlenih, a, samim tim, i kvaliteta rada jedinica lokalne samouprave.

The discourse on the importance of public opinion in Serbia still does not occupy a central place in scientific works, author analysis, even in daily political debates. But it is almost certain that the future looks bright for such a task, given the multiple intertwining of this phenomenon, law and politics. Although skepticism prevailed for a long time regarding the accuracy of the results of public opinion polls, in recent times, with the help of some natural disciplines (mathematics, statistics), as well as social psychology, public opinion has become subject to empirical tests with a very high percentage of forecasting. The participation of the citizens of the Republic of Serbia in their political life has enabled certain legal acts. This can be easily seen by analyzing our basic legal act - the Constitution, as well as laws and regulations. In terms of politics in the field of environmental protection, regulations of our country guarantee certain rights to the citizens regarding the information on the state of the environment. ; Diskurs o značaju javnog mnjenja u Srbiji još uvek ne zauzima centralno mesto u naučnim radovima, autorskim analizama, pa čak ni u dnevnopolitičkim raspravama. No, gotovo je izvesno da je pred takvim zadatkom svetla budućnost, s obzirom na višestruku isprepletanost ovog fenomena, prava i politike. Iako je dugo vladala skepsa po pitanju tačnosti rezultata istraživanja javnog mnjenja, u poslednje vreme, uz pomoć nekih prirodnih disciplina (matematika, statistika), kao i socijalne psihologije, javno mnjenje je postalo predmet empirijskih ispitivanja sa veoma visokim procentom prognostičnosti. Učešće građana Republike Srbije u njenom političkom životu omogućeno je određenim pravnim aktima. Ovo se sa lakoćom može uočiti i analizirajući osnovni pravni akt naše (i svake druge) države – Ustav, ali i zakone i ostale propise. Kada je reč o politici u oblasti zaštite životne sredine, propisi naše države garantuju određena prva građanima u pogledu informisanja o stanju životne sredine.
