1. Cilji trajnostnega razvoja držav Zahodnega Balkana : diplomsko deloViktorija Trajkova, 2025, diplomsko delo Opis: Cilji trajnostnega razvoja predstavljajo globalni okvir, ki ga je sprejela Organizacija združenih narodov, da bi naslovila ključne izzive, s katerimi se svet sooča – v osnovi so to revščina, lakota, neenakosti in podnebne spremembe. Pri tem so izjemno izpostavljene predvsem države Zahodnega Balkana, ki se soočajo s posebnimi družbeno-ekonomskimi in okoljskimi izzivi (predvsem glede na zgodovinsko-kulturni osnovi) ter morajo nujno sprejeti nekatere izmed ciljev trajnostnega razvoja kot temelj za svojo prihodnost. V diplomskem delu se osredotočamo na analizo trenutnega stanja in napredka držav Zahodnega Balkana pri implementaciji ciljev trajnostnega razvoja. Diplomsko delo poudarja, kako so ti cilji relevantni za regijo, ki se sooča s preteklimi konflikti, ekonomskimi težavami in socialno neenakostjo. V delu smo proučili, kateri cilji trajnostnega razvoja so najbolj pomembni za to področje, in sicer so to cilji, ki se nanašajo na odpravo revščine (SDG 1), zagotavljanje kakovostnega izobraževanja (SDG 4), spodbujanje dostojnega dela in gospodarske rasti (SDG 8) ter ukrepe za podnebne spremembe (SDG 13). Poleg tega pa delo obravnava tudi vlogo različnih akterjev – vključno z lokalnimi skupnostmi, civilno družbo, vladami in mednarodnimi organizacijami, torej vse, ki so ključni pri doseganju teh ciljev.

2. Vloga žensk v organizirani kriminaliteti : primerjalna analiza mafij, kartelov in balkanskih kriminalnih združbKarin Pavlovič, 2025, diplomsko delo Opis: V zaključnem delu je bila obravnavana vloga žensk v organizirani kriminaliteti s poudarkom na vodenju in vključenosti žensk v italijanskih mafijah, kartelih in balkanskih kriminalnih združbah. Poudarek je na razliki vlog žensk v kriminalnih združbah in vključevanju žensk v vodstvene strukture. Naslovljeni so bili različni dejavniki, kot so ljubezenska razmerja, sorodstvene vezi, socialna in ekonomska izključenost, ki lahko močno vplivajo na vključitev žensk, njihovo delovanje znotraj kriminalnih združb ter na spoštovanje s strani moških članov. Ugotavljamo, da ženske ne zasedajo več izključno podpornih vlog, temveč nastopajo na vodstvenih položajih znotraj kriminalnih združb. Svoje naloge opravljajo odgovorno in z visoko stopnjo zavzetosti, pri čemer se pogosto izkazuje za bolj učinkovite od moških. Ženske na vodilnih položajih se redkeje zatekajo k fizičnemu nasilju. Namesto tega se odločijo za strateško razmišljanje in delovanje organiziranih kriminalnih združb. S tem prispevajo k bolj preudarnemu, dolgoročnemu in stabilnejšemu delovanju kriminalnih mrež. Na podlagi literature je bilo ugotovljeno, da je vloga žensk s strani moških in pravosodnega sistema podcenjena in premalo raziskana, kljub temu da se pomen in vključevanje žensk v organiziranih kriminalnih združbah povečuje. Ugotovitve so pokazale, da ženske v različnih kriminalnih strukturah dosegajo različen položaj. V Camorri in v nekaterih kartelih imajo večjo možnost priti do vodilnih vlog kot pa na Balkanu. Vzpon žensk na pomembnejše položaje je pogosto posledica odsotnosti moškega zaradi aretacije ali smrti. Vloga ženske kot matere se je izkazala kot pomemben dejavnik pri prenosu kriminalnih vzorcev na mlajše generacije. Ugotovljeno je še bilo, da so ženske prav tako v večini primerov zaščitene pred pravosodnim pregonom zaradi stereotipnih prepričanj o neprimernosti žensk kot vodij, kar kriminalnim združbam omogoča varnejše in nemoteno delovanje, če so ženske na vodilnih položajih.

3. Simulation-based modelling of migration flows on the Balkan route : a contribution to the development of European migration policiesIgor Bernik, Blaž Rodič, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Migration flows along the Balkan Route since 2015 have revealed structural weaknesses in the European Union’s migration governance and highlighted the need for new, evidence-based approaches. This paper presents the MIG@B project, which develops an integrated simulation model of migration by combining agent-based modelling (ABM), system dynamics (SD), and discrete-event simulation (DES), supported by Bayesian methods for managing uncertainty. The model addresses both micro-level decision-making among migrants and macro-level feedback loops between policies and public opinion, as well as operational challenges related to border flows and asylum capacities. The approach contributes to the design of coordinated and sustainable EU and Slovenian migration policies, aligning with the New Pact on Migration and Asylum [1] and Slovenia’s Migration Strategy 2023–2030 [2]. The expected contribution is threefold: scientific innovation through methodological integration, political usability by providing scenario-based testing of policy measures, and normative relevance through alignment with European solidarity and human rights values. The MIG@B framework exemplifies how simulation modelling can serve as a laboratory for migration policy, enabling transparent, robust, and data-driven decision-making.

4. Assessment of Dangerous Goods Transport: Case Western Balkan CountriesMarko Renčelj, Osman Lindov, Miloš Pljakić, Drago Sever, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The transportation of dangerous goods (TDG) is a critical component of economic systems, especially in regions such as the Western Balkans (WB), where infrastructure and regulatory frameworks face significant challenges. This study assesses the current state of transportation of dangerous goods in Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo*, focusing on the alignment of national regulations with international standards such as the ADR agreement. Using a structured questionnaire distributed to 847 stakeholders, key barriers are identified, including inadequate infrastructure, insufficient training, limited oversight and low public awareness. Statistical analyses, including paired t-tests, reveal significant differences in perceptions across the countries surveyed, indicating inequalities in implementation and enforcement. Despite these challenges, there are opportunities to close gaps through targeted investments in infrastructure, increased training programs, stricter compliance and regional cooperation. The findings underscore the need for comprehensive data collection systems and advanced risk assessment tools to improve safety and efficiency. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of TDG issues in the WB countries and provides actionable recommendations for policy makers and practitioners to promote safer and more sustainable practices. The region can improve its TDG framework by addressing these challenges and ensuring economic growth and public safety while minimizing environmental risks.

5. Erozija demokracije v izbranih državah Zahodnega Balkana: Hrvaška, Severna Makedonija, Slovenija, Srbija : magistrsko deloBarbara Kokot, 2024, magistrsko delo Opis: V magistrskem delu je raziskan proces erozije demokracije od 90. let prejšnjega stoletja do leta 2022 v štirih izbranih državah Zahodnega Balkana – na Hrvaškem, v Severni Makedoniji, Sloveniji in Srbiji. Erozija demokracije je razčlenjena in opisana skozi tri koncepte – elite in elitne akterje, korupcijo in korupcijske škandale ter delovanje in zaupanje državljanov v formalne in neformalne institucije. Natančno so teoretično opredeljeni in opisani pojmi erozije demokracije, elite, korupcije in institucij, podani pa so podatki iz svetovnih in regionalnih raziskav. Od metod raziskovanja so uporabljene metoda deskriptivne analize literature, metoda analize kvantitativnih podatkov, komparativna metoda in analitični pristop. Analiza je razčlenjena na aspekte elit, korupcije in institucije, ki kažejo na (ne)delovanje demokracije in demokratičnih praks. Ugotovljeno je, da so elitni akterji od osamosvojitve držav do leta 2022 obdržali vzorce in prakse, ki pospešujejo erozijo demokracije, stopnje korupcije so ostale visoke in vseprisotne tako med elito (številni primeri korupcijskih afer) kot tudi med državljani. Zaupanje v formalne institucije je čez čas različno, vendar je v večini primerov izraženo nizko zaupanje v politične institucije. Neformalne institucije imajo močan vpliv in so razširjene na skoraj vsa področja družbe.

6. Size and shape variability of the wing in burnet moth, Zygaena ephialtes (L., 1767) (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae)Tina Klenovšek, Predrag Jakšić, Franc Janžekovič, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The burnet moth, Zygaena ephialtes (L., 1767) (Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae) is a distinctly polymorphic species of moth appearing in several color morphotypes. This study examined whether the variability of the Z. ephialtes forewing could be explained by geometric morphometric methods. The analysis included 70 male specimens from five localities in Montenegro (Plužine, Tepca, Dobrilovina, Gusinje and Rugovska Gorge), and one locality in North Macedonia (Kožuf Mountain) belonging to the subspecies Zygaena ephialtes pannonica Holik, 1937 and Zygaena ephialtes istoki Silbernagel, 1944, respectively, collected between 1981 to 2018. The forewing outline and the aposematic color pattern formed by five spots were analyzed separately. Neither forewing size nor forewing spots pattern size exhibited interpopulation heterogeneity. Size variation of the basal spot was independent from the rest. Considering the forewing outline shape, the apical portion was the most variable and different among populations. Two morphological groups were recognized: a group with a narrower pointed forewing (samples: Kožuf Mountain, Rugovska Gorge and Tepca), and a group with a wider forewing with a blunt apex (Plužine, Gusinje). Neither the outline or the spots pattern of the forewing supported the distinction between the subspecies Z. e. pannonica and Z. e. istoki.

7. Climate change and agriculture management : Western Balkan region analysisFranc Željko Županič, Danka Radić, Iztok Podbregar, 2021, pregledni znanstveni članek Opis: Background: This paper aims to analyze the possibilities of the agricultural sector of the Western Balkan to assess compliance with the European Green Deal, which provides for the implementation of activities, which should enable the transition to sustainable agriculture and climate change mitigation. This paper is among the first to present the causality of agriculture and climate change (status, mitigation, and perspectives) in general and in light of the European Green Deal for the Western Balkan territory.
Main text: Agricultural production is a leading industry in the Western Balkan. Climate change and predictions that temperatures will increase by 4 °C in the coming decades pose a risk not only to agricultural production but also to the safety of the population, because agriculture is the main source of income for a significant part of it. Uncontrolled floods and droughts caused by climate change are a particular danger for agriculture and human existence. This paper demonstrates that agriculture in the WB can be considered critically affected by climate change.
Conclusions:Unless appropriate measures are taken and risk management for water resources and agriculture is improved, there will be a further decrease in precipitation and an increase in dry days by 20%. Such a scenario endangers not only the already vulnerable climate sustainability and biodiversity of the region but also the existence of a population employed in agriculture and the contribution of the agricultural sector to the gross domestic product. However, future planning based on the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) and European Green Deal, the adoption of a related regulatory framework, the establishment and regular monitoring of supporting financing mechanisms, regional cooperation, and improving risk management (with emphasis on the local level) can mitigate the present impact and decrease the expected negative impact of climate change on agriculture and biodiversity in the WB region.
