The National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia enacted the National Judicial Reform Strategy for the period from 2013 to 2018 in 2013 and the Government adopted an Action plan for implementation of the National Judicial Reform Strategy in which it envisages concrete measures and activities for implementation of strategic objectives, defines the deadlines and competent authorities for its implementation and financial sources. The Republic of Serbia accepted the EU Acquis with respect to Chapter 23 Judiciary and Fundamental Rights in 2016. On the path of EU integration, the constitutional reform of the judiciary is a very important and necessary step. Serbian constitutional law experts as well as the Venice Commission identified a number of weak points of the Constitution of Serbia of 2006 regarding the judicial system. Those weak points compromised the possibility of adhering to the principle of judicial independence as one of the basic principles of the rule of law. In this article, the author explains what should be regulated in the Constitution in order to have stronger guarantees of independence of the judiciary and the rule of law. Bearing in mind that there is no uniform European model of judiciary, the author concludes that successful constitutional reform requires a compromise between executive power and its tendency to dominate judiciary, on the one hand, and judicial power and its aspiration for absolute independence, on the other hand.

Globalization has also affected football. People are increasingly mobile, and football players often move to different countries. It happens that they also acquire the citizenship of a certain country or that after playing for one national selection they change their mind and want to play for another one, whose citizenship they have acquired or maybe they already had. Of course, it can also happen that a state ceases to exist, and that a new state or states are established on that territory. Certainly, these are very challenging questions, since the national teams are a matter of national pride. As a matter of fact, it is understandable why the rules are different comparing to club football. Simply, intention is to preserve the substrate of representative football, its essence. In the paper, the authors aim to provide, after the introductory considerations, an analysis of the provisions of the world umbrella football organization FIFA in this area. At the end, the authors summarize the results of the research and offer an appropriate conclusion.

Any kind of future constitutional development of one country is in large part bound by the constitutional tradition and ever-lasting constitutional development of the country in question. Determining the right milestones, long term historical trends and traces of surviving constitutional identity markers presents a daring quest for a constitutional law scholar, especially when a country that is subjected to such analysis has a rich, but quite diverse constitutional history, as the Republic of Serbia. In this chapter authors strive to discover distinctive periods of the Serbian constitutionality, examine their characteristics and establish a possible connection of historical constitutions to the present Serbian constitutional identity.
