Danko Brčerević Fiscal Council of the Republic of Serbia Zašto privredni rast Srbije zaostaje? Mirjana Gligorić University of Belgrade Faculty of Economics Department of Economic Policy and Development Abstract Sažetak In a nutshell, Serbia is an economic growth laggard due to deficient Empirijski rezultati u ovom radu pokazuju da je privredni rast Srbije ispod institutions, specifically lacking rule of law and control of corruption, and svog potencijalnog nivoa pre svega zbog slabih institucija – posebno due to low investment, which itself is curbed by corruption and poor rule vladavine prava i kontrole korupcije. Sledeći činilac koji koči privredni of law. The gap in education achievement also hinders Serbia’s long-term rast su niske investicije, ali pokazujemo da su i one, naročito privatne, growth. We asses that Serbia is currently growing 2 percentage points nedovoljne dobrim delom usled slabe vladavine prava i korupcije. Najzad, below its potential: above 3% instead of around 5%. Roughly one half nedostaci obrazovnog sistema su takođe faktor koji usporava rast privrede of the growth gap could be explained by underperforming institutions Srbije. U radu pokazujemo da privreda Srbije trenutno raste gotovo 2 (1 p.p.), and the other half by low investment (0.7 p.p.) and education procentna poena ispod svog potencijala, tj. trenutno nešto iznad 3% (0.2 p.p.). These results are obtained by estimating the empirical growth umesto potencijalnih 5%.

  • Chariot Ultra Capacitor E-Bus
    Chariot Ultra Capacitor e-bus Copyright © 2018 by Chariot Motors 1 Desire for zero emissions urban transport vehicles The electric buses are going to become the most preferred rolling stock to be procured by the public operators in Europe within the next couple of years All across Europe the capitals and big cities are introducing policies for promotion and purchase of electric buses. Several European countries already announced that they will completely ban the diesel buses on national level and only and electric buses are going to be purchased. From the perspective of Total Cost of Ownership the electric buses are the most economical vehicles for public transportation. 2 About the company Chariot Motors together with Aowei Technology have developed the first ever ultracapacitors electric bus (Chariot e-bus) to be used for commercial operation in Europe. Chariot e-bus is purely ultracapacitor (UC) based city e-bus that deploys the latest electric drive and world’s most advanced ultracapacitor technology by Aowei. Chariot e-bus is assembled at a special high quality production line at one of the world’s biggest bus factories, Higer bus factory, with more than 17,000 hybrid & electric buses produced per year. Chariot e-bus is a silent, low-cost vehicle with zero-emissions, which complies with the European homologation certifications, the strict market requirements in EU, including the ECE R100 standard for energy storage devices. 3 Chariot Motors’ supply chain 4 Chariot electric buses on the map 5 UC Chariot e-buses in operation by GSP

  • Chapter 1 Background of the Project
    CHAPTER 1 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT CHAPTER 1 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT 1.1 Background of the Project While supporting countries organized by 24 leading developed nations in the world made the decision that the former Yugoslavia would be a subject country for assistance in July, 1990, they decided to suspend economic cooperation in November, 1991 in view of the subsequent developments in Yugoslavia. Japan also suspended its aid except for that through international organizations and grassroots grant aid cooperation provided from a humanitarian viewpoint. The present Project forms part of the components of the grant aid cooperation totaling US$ 50 million which Japan pledged at the international donor conference to assist Yugoslavia held in June, 2000. Although the Public Transport Company “Belgrade” (hereinafter referred to as GSP Belgrade), the implementation body for the Project, did not suffer any direct damage due to the bombing campaign of the NATO in 1999, it is finding the procurement of new buses, spare parts and repair equipment, etc. extremely difficult because of its financial difficulties caused by the economic sanctions since 1992. Major public transportation systems of Belgrade consist of buses, street cars and trolley buses. Although, because bus transportation runs 87% of total operating length of public transportation systems, it holds 75 % of numbers of the passengers transportation, and, more over, it’s service network covers whole area of the city, it is positioned as the only public transportation in Belgrade. The number of operable buses has decreased by more than 50%, from 913 in 1991 to 417 in 2001. Moreover, the buses currently in service are experiencing considerable deterioration, making public transportation in Belgrade near breaking point.

In this study, a research of injuries of passengers in city buses is presented, which are not a consequence of colli- sion of buses with other objects. The number of injured passengers in the territory of Belgrade was registered, during three consecutive years. Most frequently injured body part was the head, while women over the age of 60 are the most vulnerable population of passengers. The most often reason for the appearance of injuries was the effect of acceleration. Also, it is pointed out to the importance of consideration of the problem of multiple injuries. These injuries are more complex than the individual ones, and they may indicate to the existence of greater omissions in the design of the interior of the bus. Proposals for certain system solutions, as well as some recommendations for designing are given, which can improve the safety of passengers who use the city bus as a means of transportation. Keywords: city bus transport, passenger injuries, bus interior design 1. Introduction senger injuries is the result of effects of non-collision factor, i.e. when the bus does not hit another object.

With the technological ad- vances, this issue was given a completely new perspective, due to increased possibilities for both use and mis- use. Personal data have become a very valuable resource for different organizations worldwide in various sectors. However, regardless the efforts and constant legislation processes, personal data protection has still not been adequately managed, especially in developing countries such as Serbia. The motivation for this re- search was the big leak of personal data collected by the Serbian Privatisation Agency that occurred in 2014. During the research we analyzed legal, organizational and technical aspects of personal data management in six public institutions that are the largest personal data processors in Serbia. In this paper we provide the overview of the current situation and the recommendations for policy makers related to personal data protec- tion in Serbia with a focus on the public sector. Keywords: Data protection, personal data, privacy, public administration, public sector management, orga- nizational measures, IT security 1. Introduction Personal data represent an important currency in the new millennium (Schwartz, 2004, Krivokapić 2016.) and are a global issue today (Long & Quek, 2002). The notion of data protection originated in Europe and is now widely accepted throughout the world.

Traditional approaches are being trans- formed through shared mobility services and easier shifts between transport modes. Technology and societal needs continue to drive change. Digitalisation, automation and alternative energy sources are challenging traditional features and creating new opportunities linked with resource efficiency and the collaborative and circular economy. However, such changes can also be disruptive. While they create new jobs, they can also make others obsolete. They call for new skills, good working conditions and need anticipation, adaptation and investment. Transport needs to develop along a more sustainable path.
