This paper aims to illustrate the development of the basic characteristics of takeover law in Europe, and in particular the harmonisation process of takeover law in the European Union, which has led to the adoption of the EU Directive on takeover bids. The paper suggests some Directive solutions and points current situation in the development and harmonization process of takeover law. Development of takeover law in Europe, with different legal systems in different countries and harmonization of activities in the European Union highlights the importance of the market for corporate control and the different national interests, which after many years of trying to harmonize led to the adoption of the Directive on takeover bids. The Directive establishes minimum requirements for Member States and leaves considerable room for variations which significantly affect the extent and effects of harmonization in the application.

The paper discusses the phenomenon of identity in the age of technology, especially the one in the so-called virtual space, which is characheristic for a progress of digital technology. In this regard, the notion of identity is brought into direct connection with the „post human" society and its implications on the problem of freedom. On the other hand, freedom is considered at the new context of sociality and more intensive dialogue on European identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper discusses influences on the Bosnian medieval law development, its role and importance in context of the European ius commune. Adopted Roman law influenced the law of the Duchy of Bosnia, then the Kongdom of Bosnia, primarily through the law of Mediterranean cities, where a legal transaction was the liveliest. The influence of the Hungarian law and the Sasks law was also visible, but the impact of canon law, which was developed and sirens from the Franciscan monastery was not negligible either. Revewing the elements of the Bosnian medieval law, it is evident that the Roman law had the greatest impact on contries of the former European area, where the Bosnia as a whole shared the fate of the legal development of neighboring countries.
