Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify the structure of local government environmental expenditures by purpose, term and economic type, as well as the sources of their financing. Design/methodology/approach – Research and data analysis were carried out on the basis of relevant sources of data gathered from the publicly available decisions on annual statements of accounts for 2011, published on local governments’ internet pages. Findings – The main domains of expenditures are pollution abatement, waste and wastewater management and protection of biodiversity. The most of expenditure relates to operating expenses, while only a few percent relates to long-term investments. The most of environmental protection expenditures are financed from the local government organization's (LGO) general budget. Practical implications – In the field of environmental protection, the most significant direct responsibility lies with local governments. On the other hand, information on the structure of environmental protection income and expenditures at the local government level is very limited and highly defragmented. The study may represent a starting point for further research in this field. Originality/value – The methodology and the results reported in this research could be used for exploring environmental policy of LGOs in other European countries.

The crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic is probably one of the biggest crises that has affected civilization in the last hundred years. This refers to the number of infected and dead, but also to the economic, psychological, political, moral and other spheres. Science and scientific research during the pandemic was mainly focused on finding ways to prevent and treat the C-19 virus. Within medical science, epidemiology was treated separately during the pandemic, as a branch of medicine, while other sciences were neglected or put in the background, which limited the potentials of medical science in the C-19 pandemic. Analyzes show that a small number of scientific papers and research have focused on non-medical sciences and the place and role of non-medical professions in the fight against C-19, which is illogical, given that a pandemic is not just a medical phenomenon but a multidisciplinary problem that should be answered, with synchronized use of information, economic, organizational management, ethical and other sciences. It is shown that the impact of the pandemic on science and scientific research has not been investigated globally, nor at the level of Serbia, ie whether and to what extent the pandemic has affected the dynamics, aggravating or facilitating conditions for science and scientific research. This paper also discusses the problems of science and scientific cooperation during the Covid-19 pandemic and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on science, scientific research and cooperation, and cooperation between scientific researchers at the international level. The aim of this paper is to point out some difficulties and obstacles in scientific work and cooperation and to suggest possible solutions.

Covid 19 is a disease that has spread all over the world. It caused upheavals in all societies and segments of society. This also relates to the Serbian society and its educational system. Education, as an important part of society, experienced a concussion. Serbia's cumbersome education system, many ongoing reforms, dissatisfaction of educators, many unresolved issues were now additionally burdened by the crown and everything it brings with it. How much of the education system, to which the primary school belongs, has successfully responded to these changes? The inflexibility and inelasticity of the education system was a major obstacle in response to such a large demand made by the Coronavirus. The transition from school to online teaching was stressful for all participants: pupils, parents and teachers. In addition to changes in the way of working, primary schools in Serbia have faced problems with the lack of information technology needed for distance learning, teaching staff who are not educated for this type of teaching, but also the quality of such teaching. All this raised the question of the quality of knowledge that pupils acquired during distance learning. The paper will discuss the management of the primary school at the time of the Covid 19, the problems encountered and how they were solved.
