However, transition is a wider notion than a process referring to former socialist block; it is a process of transformation of centrally-oriented socialist economy into market economy, as well as of non-democracy into democra- cy, it makes socialist companies equal to the new market competitors, and finally, it is an attempt to use knowledge and modernization to bridge a cen- tury-long civilization gap between developed and undeveloped countries within a relatively short period of between one and several decades. Transi- tion can also be observed as a process of integrations into the EU. The exact moment when this process started in Serbia is not easy to determine. Namely, although the transition process was based on a well-com- posed program dated from 1989-1990, it made some serious progress only after 2000. Transition, which many people call a painful process, in Serbia interlaced with globaliation, i.e. the global social process which marked the last two decades of the 20th century, covering economic, cultural, and political sphere. In economic sphere, globalization signifies removal of all borders in move- ment of capital, increase of international share in trade with commodities, expansion of trans-national companies, growth in direct foreign investments, increase of speed and range of financial transactions. Apart from that, global- ization leads to significant changes in means of communication, science, technology, and in cultural-technological sphere, which is embodied in cre- ation of a special global system of values and morality. In the domain of pol- itics, globalization implies development of democratic system and institu- tions, spreading democratic practice, absence of discrimination, and as law is inseparable from politics, acceptance of legal and regulatory standards in line with the rule of law principle. In the transition and globalization process, the Serbian law strove to replace or change the existing laws in accordance with these principles. 10 EDITOR'S FOREWORD One of the main aims in the field of law is harmonization of domestic reg- ulations with the EU law. The harmonization process represents adoption of new and change of the existing laws and by-laws, whose provisions should be in line with the EU law, that is with acquis communautaire – a collection of rights and obligations that connect the EU members. The former Yugoslav government in 1996 held the first debate on har- monization of the domestic regulations with the EU law. After the changes that occurred in 2000, the process of harmonization of the domestic regula- tions with the EU law was set as a primary one in the sphere of law. The col- lection of rights and regulations is constantly being innovated, so it is a con- tinuous process, and our legislation should also be one of its whose parts. Since 2000, all legal branches went through some changes in accordance with the given principles of rule of law and harmonization of the domestic regulations with the EU law. Is it possible, and at what extent, to implement in a few years what has been developing in Europe for 50 years, precisely because the harmonization process is not limited only to harmonization of the domestic regulations with the EU law, but, as it was stated above, with entire acquis communautaire. The authors of articles in this book attempted to answer this question, point at some of the most important changes that are yet to come, as well as at those that occurred in the Serbian law in the last decade.

Senior Research Associate, Institute of Criminological and Sociological Studies SUICIDE IN A CHANGING SOCIETY1 No one kills himself in order to prove an absurd! People resort to suicide when they feel bad! Borislav Pekić Summary Suicide does not choose neither civilization nor nation, neither class nor religion, and that problem has always been occupying the attention of science (anthropology, philosophy, law, psychiatry, psychology, sociology…), religion and arts. But still there is not enough knowledge about that phenomenon and probably we will never definitely find out why a man voluntarily renounces his life and resorts to the most (un)natural salvation. We can ask ourselves with Albert Camus: does deliberating on
