The economic and political crisis Serbia had to face during the nineties affected the competitive advantages its agricultural sector had in comparison with the other countries of the region. Despite a number of differences related to the specific economic, political and social settings and developments, the reform path Serbia started in 2000 showed a number of similarities, but also some differences in comparison with most of the Central and Eastern European Countries. In this paper the main features of structural changes in the Serbian agricultural sector are analyzed, also in comparison with other countries in the region, the basic factors that contributed to these changes are identified and explained, and the key consequences and implications of this process are examined.

The aim of this article is to review and evaluate the condition and the development perspectives of the relations between the E.U. and its Eastern neighbors. The problem is analyzed in the context of the recent discussion on the “Broader Europe" concept. The current dominant model of the relations between the E.U. and Eastern European countries is described in the article using the “circular discourse" and “circular interaction" terms. This article is aimed to reveal the initial theoretical and geo/political preconditions that helped this model to become the dominant theoretical and practical approach in the field of E.U.–East Europe relations, to uncover the logics of its functioning and the implications of its realization to Lithuania and the other new E.U. member states.

Sports Fan

This paper aims to answer the question of whether fans discriminate against foreign athletes. It uses data from the fantasy sports environment. The sample consists of 11 rounds in the football competition in Czechia during the 2015–2016 season. A total of 8,036 people participated in the game, and they completed a total of 53,951 squads. The final dataset consists of 3,741 observations of a specific footballer in a single round. The results show that Czech fantasy sports users prefer domestic players. The influence of the players’ origin varies depending on the region they are from. The results show that Asian and Eastern European countries, namely Croatia, Serbia, and Slovakia, present a negative influence. On the other hand, Czechs prefer players from South America and Russia. In the case of African and Western European countries, the influence is insignificant in the models. Performance, however, influences the demand for athletes the most.

This paper examines the changes in the sectoral composition of Bangladesh’s GDP over the period 1973 – 2017 both at the aggregated and disaggregated levels. As expected, perceptible changes occurred at the aggregated level with the share of the agricultural sector declining steadily while the relative shares of industry and services showing increasing trends. All three broad sectors of the Bangladesh economy grew over time. It appears from the study that the industrial sector grew the fastest followed by the services sector. The share of agriculture fell from about 39 percent in 1973 to 16 percent in 2017. During the same period, the share of the industrial sector rose from just over 15 percent to more than 31 percent. On the other hand, the share of the services sector increased from 46 percent in 1973 to about 54 percent in 2016. An analysis of the intra-sectoral composition suggests that the production of some commodities grew faster than others, and then over time some new commodities gained prominence thereby causing remarkable structural changes.

Abstract Hans Nutzinger describes the current complex of problems of the eastern european countries on their transition to market economy and points out, how far socio-cultural problems determine the conditions of transformation. The appropriate economic system seems to appear as a responsibility of organization, where as interdependence has tobe seen in a double sense: as an interdependence of all economic decisions, valuations and actions and, on the other hand, as an interdependence of economic systems as a whole. He deals with the topic how far a free-enterprise development depends on specific religious preconditions, but leaves the question - respecting the Iimits of the economic discipline - undecided

The Individual

In Bulgaria, we are sharing a transition to a civic society and a market economy, which means transferring to new parameters of our culture. Many old customs based on coer cion, obedience and unacceptable interference are gradually dying out, and new princi ples tend to shape the way we live our collective lives. These include the ethics of partnership, which tend to create an assertion of individual rights and an affirmation of free will and autonomy, and within which the individual is protected in the pursuit of personal judgements. It is remarkable, however, that we have so much difficulty in talk ing about and identifying the most beneficial approaches for the achievement of the new design of our society. In this paper, I propose to illustrate the current crisis in nursing ethics with informa tion mainly from Bulgaria. However, I think that the problems and trends in the other Eastern European countries are similar.

The Eu

The European Union is currently revisiting the nature of its newly acquired external boundary, which resulted from the 1 May 2004 accession of ten Central and Eastern European countries to the EU. The EU eastern frontier borders on the centuries old European perceptions and understandings of the Other are currently solidifying in polarization to its Medieval conceptualizations. These conceptualizations emerged with the formation of a promising European political awareness which developed under Charlemagne in 800s, and which was characterized by juxtaposition of the emerging Christendom to the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. These constructions of the Other were perceived as cultural, political and religious threats that needed to be abated and controlled. Finally, the EU came up with a Constitution for Europe which although failed the referendums is still a founding document that defines the values and principles developed from the cultural, religious and humanistic inheritance of Europe.
