Strategic and other documents support the systemic approach and, in conjunction with relevant regulations, represent the potential for more efficient solution of the problem of violence against children. However, adequate implementation of the existing legal norms, as well as strategic documents and plans in this field, has not yet been fully accomplished, including the continuous monitoring of the achievement of established goals and activities, which represents the major deficiency of current protection system. This paper analyzes characteristics of the development of family law and criminal law protection of children from violence, as well as the possibilities and pathways for its improvement, both in terms of normative and practical implementation of the exist...

Стратешки и други документи подржавају системски приступ и у садејству са релевантним прописима представљају потенцијал за ефикасније решавање проблема насиља над децом. Међутим, одговарајућа примена нормативних решења, као и стратешких докумената и планова, у овој области још увек није у потпуности остварена, укључујући и непрестано праћење реализације утврђених циљева и активности, што представља највећи недостатак постојећег система заштите. У раду су анализиране карактеристике развоја породичноправне и кривичноправне заштите деце од насиља, те могућности и правци њиховог усавршавања-како на нормативном плану тако и у погледу практичне примене постојећих решења. Кључне речи: деца, насиље, породичноправна заштита, кривичноправна заштита.

Families dealing with these stressful life events face a tough time of insecurity and confusion. Studies have shown that the degree of cooperation or conflict between parents is the factor that significantly contributes to how the children will react to their parents' divorce or separation. Unfortunately, the adversarial process has not proven to be the best method to help parents to cooperate and support each other when the lives of their children are being discussed. In contrast to litigation, mediation has showed to be a process that diminishes negative consequences that often result from custody disputes. Mediation brings parents together, emphasizes their common interests, and helps them make decisions that will benefit the whole family. During the past few decades, international mediation practice has developed various mediation styles, nowadays used by mediators to manage different types of disputes. This paper will address one of the most discussed classifications of mediation styles with an effort to reach conclusions on the most appropriate approach to mediating child custody disputes.

Iako ne predstavlja osnov pozivanja na nasleđe, ovaj ugovor proizvodi važna naslednopravna dejstva. Postojanje punovažnog ugovora o doživotnom izdržavanju utiče na smanjenje vrednosti zaostavštine primaoca izdržavanja dejstvom pravila da se momentom njegove smrti sva imovina, koja je predmet ugovora, izdvaja iz zaostavštine, postaje svojina davaoca izdržavanja i iz nje se ne mogu namiriti čak ni nužni naslednici primaoca izdržavanja. Zbog tih dejstava u našoj praksi naslednici neretko osporavaju ovaj ugovor, budući da se njime dovode u pitanje njihova nasledna očekivanja. S tim u vezi, Zakon o nasleđivanju prepoznaje pravo naslednika da u određenim slučajevima zahtevaju poništaj ugovora o doživotnom izdržavanju, ali ne sadrži odredbe kojima se posebno reguliše pravo naslednika na raskid ugovora o doživotnom izdržavanju. Nedostatak takvih zakonskih rešenja u praksi dovodi do brojnih nedoumica i rezultira različitim stavovima sudova povodom raskida ugovora o doživotnom izdržavanju na zahtev naslednika.

It examines the relationship between the well-being of the child as the core concept of contemporary legal and welfare systems and family as a vital institution in society for the protection, development and ensuring the overall well-being of the child. Considering the fact that international legal standards recognise that children’s rights are best met in the family environment, the paper analyses what kind of support is being provided to families by the modern societies in the exercising of children’s rights and with what rhetoric and outcomes. Family Support is also considered as a specific, theoretically grounded and empirically tested practical approach to exercising and protecting the rights of the child. Finally, international legal standards are observed in the context of contemporary theory and practice of Family Support, while the conclusion provides the implications of such an approach.
