1. ELECTION INTEGRITY AND FOREIGN INTERFERENCE: THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY, POLICY, AND AI IN BUILDING RESILIENT EU FRAMEWORKSBorut Petek, 2025, ni določena Opis: This dissertation investigates the emerging threat of foreign interference in the European Union’s (EU) electoral processes, focusing on how technology, law, and policy shape the systems that safeguard democracy. It aims to critically analyse the growing risk posed by foreign interference, primarily through the use of advanced technologies and cyber operations, and to identify necessary improvements in existing legal frameworks, inter-agency collaboration, and an integrated approach that combines legal, technological, and political measures. The research methodology relies on secondary data from sources such as European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA), EU DisinfoLab, and Freedom House. It adopts a mixed approach, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Within this framework, the study examines technological tools, legal instruments – such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Digital Services Act (DSA) – and institutional responses to foreign interference. Key findings indicate that emerging technologies originating in the fast-evolving field of artificial intelligence (AI) enable agents to use bots and deepfakes to strategically disseminate disinformation. Current legal frameworks, including the GDPR and DSA, require revision to address the complex issues associated with modern electoral interference, including its interstate nature and the influence of AI-driven disinformation. The research also highlights the challenges in inter-agency collaboration caused by fragmented elections, limited information sharing, and concerns related to national sovereignty. Furthermore, it emphasises the advantages of a multi-dimensional approach that integrates legal reforms, advanced technological solutions to identify disinformation, and enhanced political solidarity among EU member states. In conclusion, the thesis argues that without targeted legal changes, improved IT capabilities, and closer co-operation among EU institutions, agencies, and committees, EU elections will remain vulnerable to foreign interference, posing serious threats to democracy in Europe.

3. European Union as an industry leader? Positioning European Union industrial policy in Danube regions realityTamara Besednjak Valič, 2024, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: The world is rapidly changing. Impacts, ranging from technological innovation to health challenges the global economy. The EU has faced industrial policy struggles, lagging behind the USA and China in its industrial competitiveness. In 2021, the EU launched a plan to revive its industrial policy through a green and digital twin transition. The key question of the presented discussion is how are Danube region countries positioning themselves in relation to current EU industrial goals of twin transition. A tentative conclusion suggests that reindustrialisation, aligned with EU policy, is contributing to positive developmental opportunities, especially for competitively intermediate countries.

4. Kosovo Police and its role for peace and stability in the region of South East Europe : doctoral dissertationAgron Hasanaj, 2024, doktorska disertacija Opis: In this doctoral dissertation thesis, we discussed the problem of the Kosovo’s security and the role of the Kosovo Police (KP) since the war of 1998-1999, a time when policing in Kosovo has seen a complete transformation. This dissertation makes a thorough inquiry and draws a roadmap of the KP professional progress and development. We analysed the training and education system and discipline reforms of the KP since its creation on 1999 and its capacities to act in accordance with European police standard ethics. Having in mind the relatively short time since formatted, the research critically examines professional KP gaps in its way of fostering identity and culture of its own. The dissertation explores the existing literature on the subject and aims to expand the research on the field of the Kosovo’s security and its capacity to grant its stable security and export it outside Kosovo, not only to the South East-Europe region. In addition, we evaluated relationships between international and local security actors in Kosovo, revealing the fact that the rivalry, confusion and competition were present for a long time and somehow are still common. Through extensive analysis of laws, reports and official documents, this work attempts to answer the question of how this unusual composition of security forces managed cooperation. Kosovo’s North neighbor - Serbia - with unsparing support of its main allies - Russia and China - has managed to prevent the membership of the Kosovo security institutions on most international security mechanisms, the fundamental one being the membership in the Interpol. This thesis provides recommendations, especially in the fields of training and discipline aspects, intending to reduce the negative effects of relatively short KP experience, while a comprehensive research aspect finds that the possibilities for international co-operation and membership offered to the KP are limited, consequently challenging its effectiveness and professional development in line with European standards.

5. Technologies and Innovations in Regional Development : the European Union and its strategies2022, znanstvena monografija Opis: The subsequent volume revolves around the Social-Fields-Approach (SOFIA) as an approach to conceptualisation and operationalisation for the purpose of empirical research. It contributes a new perspective and approach in research on innovation. We believe that SOFIA can have implications for both academic research and practical applications in reshaping the existing instruments and governance arrangements in innovation policy. Whilst aplying SOFIA, we urge researchers to leverage the plurality of different qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method approaches in innovation studies, including less conventional methods, such as QCA (Ragin, 2008). Diligent application of SOFIA can also subsequently lead to the development of high-level theoretical contributions.

8. European Arrest Warrant and its development through case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union : master's thesisSara Šoštarič, 2019, magistrsko delo Opis: Does the European Arrest Warrant facilitate the fight against cross%border criminal activities through preserving the respect of human rights of the fugitives? Some experts in the light of recent Euro%skepticism claim it to be just another failed institute that consists of many legal limitations that need to be dealt with. Throughout this thesis, the main aim will be to present the European Arrest Warrant and see how it developed through the years, and how The Court of European Justice through its case law further enriched and solidified this institute. I will analyze the legal Framework Decision itself, and also present numerous cases that dealt with the most important aspects of the warrant and helped clarify its purpose and structure, so to show how it should be applied in different cases at the same time maintaining a high legal standard of protection of human rights of the individuals. We will achieve all the above by using different methods, the historical method, descriptive, sociological, analytical, the method of case study and lastly to conclude the thesis the inductive%deductive method. By using all of these, we will prove that this recently new instrument, while it encounters some issues, works well in practice, where the Member States and the Court of Justice cooperate closely and effectively. By connecting the theoretical with practical cases, this will be an original work contributing to the discourse about the European Arrest Warrant not only to European citizens but also scholars and the professional public.

9. Bankruptcy proceedings : Kosovo legislation comparing to European unionAlba Boshnjaku, 2016, diplomsko delo Opis: The concept of bankruptcy can be traced back to antiquity but its development as a legal institution is considered to have started once debt recovery became directed towards a debtorʼs estate instead of debtorʼs body, and when the procedure of such recovery became a concern of the state authorities instead of personal arbitration, as it was practiced in primitive societies. A well-developed economy is highly dependent on the efficiency of bankruptcy procedures. Unable to meet their financial obligations, insolvent debtors are forced to file for bankruptcy. The bankruptcy procedure will either give the debtor a fresh start through reorganization, or cease its existence by enforcing liquidation measures. Noting the importance of this subject matter as a vital element of domestic and global markets, it is a must for each country to regulate bankruptcy proceedings by adopting an effective legal and institutional framework. This paper provides an in-depth research on legislative and institutional framework of bankruptcy systems implemented both in Kosovo and in European Union. It tends to emphasize the flaws of the former Law on Liquidation and Reorganization of Legal Persons in Kosovo and the desperate need to reform the bankruptcy system through efficient legal means. The level of compliance of Kosovoʼs new Law on Bankruptcy with the European Union Regulation on cross-border insolvency is as well put into perspective.
