This text explains and emphasize on the methods which the presidential-candidates in Bulgaria use to convince their audience in what they say in their speeches. In the following text it is shown which methods are effective and should be used while speaking in front of the audience and which methods are ineffective and better be avoided by the speakers. How these methods reflect the listeners, why it is important to use them when necessary and how to classify them by their importance for both speakers and audience is the main purpose of this paper.

Additional to the three main trends influencing social dialogue at the organizational level - de-centralization, up-scaling, de-institutionalization and representation – the COVID-19 pandemic rules brought a new influence that impacts the Unions, forcing it to adapt its internal communication. This paper is centred upon the way the Unions members in Romania get access to information in the new labour landscape, characterized by the work from home and physical distancing. The research focuses on a collective case-study of three strong Union Federations that developed internal communication with unions’ members that fits the pandemic context. The research focuses on the internal communication repertoire elements used by the Unions. The research method assesses the qualitative information gathered by interviewing key Unions representatives. The main areas of interest are the key topics addressed in the communication with the members, the tools and media mix used, the frequency of the formal communication with the trade unions members, the accountable and the responsible persons with the internal communication, and the management of the feedback from the members, all in the context of what is different vs. 2019. The conclusions are enriched with some recommendations for future development of communication with union members, supporting the social dialog.

Sustainable development approaches the concept of quality of life in all its complexity, from an economic, social and environmental point of view, promoting the idea of the balance between economic development, social equity, efficient use and conservation of the environment.By its very nature, sustainable development represents the need for responsibility and education for environmental protection, and this aspect is reflected in the evolution of community policy in recent years, a policy marked by the transition from an approach based on constraint and sanction, to a more flexible, based one on incentives. Thus, it is acting in the direction of a voluntary approach, in order to promote this environmental responsibility and to encourage the use of environmental management systems.The environmental policy does not act independently, but reflects the interest of civil society in this direction, manifested by the creation of numerous environmental movements and organizations. Moreover, in some countries the creation and development of "green" political parties has been achieved, with real success in the political arena. However, resistance - or, more properly, the restraint and inertia that manifests itself, should not be forgotten, when environmental objectives seem to limit industrial competitiveness and economic growth; but this aspect only emphasizes once again the need for a concerted approach at European level and the need for an active and integrated environmental policy, capable of responding to the challenges that appear economically.The European environmental policy is based on the principles of precaution, prevention, correction of pollution at source and "polluter pays". The precautionary principle is a risk management tool that can be invoked if there is scientific uncertainty about a possible risk to human health or the environment, arising from a particular action or policy.

„Pluralitatea” spațiului habsburgic1, pe care Moritz Csaky a definit-o ținînd seama atît de realitățile interne (etnice, lingvistice, culturale și politice) ale Imperiului, cît și de cele rezultate din îmbinarea pe acest teritoriu a unor tipuri extrem de diferite de civilizație europeană, a evoluat pe parcursul unei istorii proprii spre statutul de calitate „fizionomică” fundamentală a regiunii, calitate din care rezultă, paradoxal, tocmai marca sa unitară. Constituirea treptată, deși dificilă, a unui spațiu economic comun - în ciuda disparităților adînci dintre provinciile dezvoltate și subdezvoltate, ca și a relativei întîrzieri în procesul expansiunii capitaliste, cauzate, în comparație cu Anglia, Franța sau Prusia/ Germania, de o tipică imobilitate socio-politică - a facilitat în Europa Centrală un permanent schimb de mărfuri, oameni și idei, pe baza căruia s-a constituit aici cadrul diferențial al unui cuprinzător „spațiu social”. Trăsătura sa cea mai pregnantă ar consta în aceea că, în timp ce în statele naționale moderne, unde conceptul de „națiune” a căpătat concomitent și un sens uniformizant din punct de vedere social, societatea se fragmentează pe „verticală”, în categorii (clase) cu interese sociale și politice divergente, (precum în Germania de după 1871), în cazul nostru persistă un fragmentarism „orizontal”, de sorginte premodernă; pe fondul unui echilibru instabil dintre centralismul programatic al iosefinismului și presiunea particularismelor provinciale sau naționale, acesta se manifestă, fie în chip individual, fie la nivel colectiv, prin coexistența pluralistă a mai multor identități (sau loialități) și sub-identități.

As an EU member, Romania must applies the rules of the Union in all areas covered by it, including home affairs, in order to provide Romanian citizens and European citizens with the assurance of fundamental rights and freedoms. This paper aims to address Romania’s obligation to apply EU law in the police field from two perspectives: The advantages of a uniform framework for the application of regulations on this subject, but also the challenges resulting from the need to include them at national level. As a novelty element and with the conviction that the academic environment is a good one for debates, I intend to integrate in the proposed paper information obtained from the dialog conducted through artificial intelligence in the form of ChatGPT, As a result of the controversies raised in the academic world and to identify whether artificial intelligence of this type can formulate pertinent arguments regarding the application of EU home affairs legislation in Romania.

Through the system of lessons identified, those features can be identified that have the potential to make the work of security organisations more effective. In this context, a viable lessons learned system has been adapted and implemented at NATO level and has become a fundamental strategic component of the management system responsible for organisational development. The implementation of the Lessons Learned System at the level of the Ministry of Internal Affairs arose also from the need to have a mechanism that would allow the transfer of knowledge in an efficient and rapid way to all staff, against the background of a particular staff dynamic, the model being mainly the one adopted at NATO level that has proven successful over time. The lessons learnt system at Ministry of Internal Affairs level has been institutionally adapted from the one developed at NATO level, which was previously taken over also by the Ministry of National Defence. Lessons learned implemented on the basis of the NATO model are of value through their use in: the planning of actions carried out by military organisations and those responsible for maintaining, ensuring and restoring public order; ensuring interoperability between the structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of National Defence; the development of operational, procedural and technical standards; the field of logistical procurement; the field of education.

The report "The rapidly growing Euroscepticism - a result of the internal political processes in the member states of the European Union" presents the realities and challenges facing the European Union in recent years, namely one of them is the growing Euroscepticism towards the project for a united Europe. The European values that have been fundamental to the construction of the European project, uniting for more than several decades free, democratic and peace-loving countries, are being tested given the desire of more and more EU citizens to strengthen the influence of the national states represented in the European structures, and the institutions of the Union to have less and less influence over the decisions in the legislative process of the individual member states, giving the prerogative of national law over European laws. Euroscepticism even takes an extreme form with some European parties represented in the political system of the countries, agitating for their departure and disintegration of the Community. The scientific report also presents and analyzes in detail the reasons and factors influencing public opinion in the EU, which led to the alienation of people from the political system of the Union, strengthening the desire for national separatism from the European institutional structures. Euroscepticism is becoming increasingly influential, both in the member states that laid the foundation for the creation of the EU after the end of the Second World War, and in the more recently joined former totalitarian states that have been democracies since 1989, a period associated with the end of the Cold War.

The draft amendment to the Constitution of the Republic of Bulgaria from 2023 contains numerous proposals that are within the competence of the Grand National Assembly. This conclusion is based on a comparison of the content of proposed changes with the established practice of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Bulgaria regarding the "form of government" in the sense of Art. 158, item 3 of the operation of the Constitution. It is indisputable that the discussion needs to be changed in the Basic Law and if it is to be entirely political in nature. But in view of the basic constitutional principles - rule of law, people's sovereignty, separation of powers and independence from the judiciary, proclaimed in the Basic Law, the political decisions of this discussion should undoubtedly be in line with them.

It is a fundamental rule in the constitution of a democratic state to contain provisions related to changes to the basic law. Such was the understanding of the creators of the Constitution of the Republic of Bulgaria from 1991, who provided for such a legal regulation. It is contained in Chapter Nine of our basic law, entitled "Amendment and addition to the Constitution. Adoption of a new Constitution" - Art. 153 to Art. 163. Challenges in legal regulation related to changes in the Constitution are outlined according to material criteria and are fastened with special procedural guarantees in our basic law. In the exposition below, attention will be paid to some main points contained in the constitutional legal framework for revision of the Constitution by the National Assembly. The very fact that this activity is different from the usual daily legislative function of the parliament shows that the National Assembly is faced with the challenge of carrying out the changes in the basic law, considering all the features and specifics laid down in the constitutional law.

The subject of the publication is intellectual property in periodical printing as a segment of the publishing business. Book publishing is often presented as the entire publishing activity. The sector of periodicals is omitted, which forms a huge share of the publishing output and the most circulated one, covering the largest number of authors. The focus of the research is copyright protection in the publishing of newspapers and magazines in Bulgaria and the EU. Media diversity and freedom of speech are core values in the Charter of Rights of the European Union. Publishers of periodicals in the EU are facing new realities - copyrights are violated by Internet giants, platforms, news aggregators, etc., which also applies to the Bulgarian media. The long-term operation and prosperity of the diverse and economically successful magazine and newspaper publishing industry depends on ensuring effective protection of intellectual property. It is important to respect the publisher's right to create an enabling environment for newspapers and magazines, their websites and apps, especially for journalists, photographers, designers, etc., to continue working with high professional standards to provide news, audience analytics and copyright information.

Publishing and the photography business are two creative industries that have crosspoints in their work together and in the management of intellectual property rights of their products. What are these intersections, what problems have the publishers and the photographers, and how can they be solved? What are the latest law changes and which of them affect the two creative industries? What would improve the business environment and copyright protection?

This paper examines the legal instruments available to creditors for claims against a company with variable capital and more specifically the guarantee function of capital and the possibility of engaging in the personal liability of board members and controlling partners. A conclusion is made about the essence of penetrating liability as a special type of tortious liability, expressly provided for in the law to override the general rule that the company is independently liable for its obligations only with its own property.

The report presents and analyzes the problem of the growing role and importance of constitutional justice in Bulgaria in the conditions of political crisis in recent years. The thesis is advocated that in conditions of political crisis, democratic institutions and parliamentary parties are more often inclined to violate the constitution or to use it excessively as a tool for institutional opposition in the political process. As a result, the Constitutional Court becomes a participant in the resolution of political and institutional disputes and conflicts. Cases from constitutional jurisprudence are analyzed, through which challenges and problems facing constitutional justice are highlighted. A political and legal approach is used in the analysis of the studied process.

The overall inflation and its trajectory over the interruption of supply chain management , caused by the unforeseen peril introduced by the COVID-29 pandemic in the global economy, encouraged all sorts of novel disruptions to maintain market equilibrium. The elites in the world successfully used the pandemic consequences to gain more power. The inflation is one of the powerful tool that serve them. This paper uses process mining analysis to identify the importance of inflation in the neoliberal doctrine. The research papers have been compiled from Web of Science and Research Gate. Cross-reference networks have been extracted from the source papers, enabling visualization to uncover the disciplinary contributions which have supported the relation between inflation and neoliberal doctrine.

The paper surveys the development of the Optimal Currency Area theory and the Economic and Monetary Union. After a close examination of how Robert Mundell arrived at the former theoretical framework and its further elaboration by several economists, the paper draws the attempts at European economic and monetary unification. Based on the report One Market, One Money (1990), the author concludes that the economists of the European Commission did not follow the OCA theory, but used several contemporary monetary and macroeconomic findings to construct the theoretical framework behind the EMU.

Bulgaria has been undergoing numerous crises since 2020 – the coronavirus pandemic, followed by the war in Ukraine and its strong local consequences, and a political crisis with five early elections for National Assembly, all in a period of three years. In this social turbulence, new political parties emerged, one of which came to a particular interest due to its ideology resting on conspiracy theories. In a previous article I have followed the main narratives that members of the party presented during the fall of 2022 election campaign. Here I will further my investigation deeper into the conspiracy theories that were used to form these narratives.
