This paper is the result of a mini empirical research on the duration of judicial and public prosecutorial investigations before the High Court in Novi Sad. A total of 100 cases were analyzed, of which 50 cases from 2008 and 50 cases from 2015 and 2016. The first 50 cases were conducted during the validity of the Criminal Procedure code from 2001, while the other 50 cases were conducted during the validity of the Criminal Procedure Code from 2011. In order for the result to be as comparable as possible, we tried to have the same structure of criminal acts represented in both groupes. The author came to the conclusion that a prosecutorial investigation is not faster than a judicial investigation. The search for the suspect, the search for the injured party, the impediment of the lawer, the strike of the lawers, the preoccupation of the public prosecutor, etc. contributed to the somewhat longer duration of the public prosecutorial investigation.

The paper highlights some of the deterioration of the defendant, s position in the 2011 Code of criminal procedure of Serbia. On the other hand, it points to some relatively new institutions that go behind the traditional role of the defendant, which is reflected in the opposition to the charges. These are three types of defendant, s agreement with the public prosecution. The first form is a diversionary model, which is applied in the pre-trial procedure. The second is the plea agreement. Both forms were introduced before the confluence to relieve criminal justice, but the defendant himself benefits. The third form is the conclusion of an agreement between the defendant and the sentenced person on testimony in other to successfully detect, prove or prevent the criminal acts referred to in article 162, paragraph 1, item 1 of the Code of criminal procedure.

In 2018. wheat fields on the territory North-western part of Bosnia and Herzegovina were regularly inspected. Occurrence of the causal agent of wheat powdery mildew, Blumeria graminis (DC) f. sp. tritici Speer (syn. Erysiphe graminis DC f. sp. tritici Marchal)) was registered in a large number of localities. In vegetation period, symptoms characteristic for this fungus were observed on all green plant organs, but it was most commonly present on leaves and basal leaf sheaths of wheat plants. Microscopic preparations were made from samples of diseased parts of wheat in the laboratory of the Biotechnical Faculty. Chasmothecia and conidia were observed under the microscope. Chasmothecia and conidia were registered under the microscope. In 2018, presence of the pathogen was registered on about 60% of the total wheat sowed. Disease Index (DI) was calculated using the McKinney formula. The disease index represents the percentage of the disease.The intensity of plant infection was ranged on a scale 0-9. The disease index above 35% was registered on about 56.6% of the infected plants and 40% total wheat plants. After harvest, grains from infected wheat plants were measured for absolute and hectoliter weigts, which were found to range from 25 to 42 g and from 60 to 67 kg, respectively. To improve the effectiveness of crop protection, it is necessary to apply the required agricultural practices: long-term crop rotation, control of volunteer wheat and grassy weeds of the family Poaceae, deep plowing, balanced fertilization, optimum sowing time and others. The main strategy to control powdery mildew is by using resistant cultivars the disease can also be controlled by fungicide treatments.

Throughout history, built environment developed intuitively on empirical experience led by trial and error. Such approach provided resilience and evolvement of patterns that guided spatial organization. Newer interventions in the rural environment resulted in disconnected spatial fragments. By comparing vernacular and contemporary planning and construction practice in the natural park Blidinje, the authors tried to identify the reason for which contemporary interventions resulted in new patterns in spatial planning, ones completely unfamiliar for this geographical area. They identified the reason in the fact that men started to treat the natural space as a commodity, forcing stakeholders to be led primarily by economic principles. Such principles are rigid and linear, instead of contextual in this matter. At the same time, the environmentally sound approach should respect complexity of whole endeavor aiming to achieve diversity and variability. The models developed based on complexity theory and self-organization should preserve continuity and integrity of the place and man.
