The article deals with the system of political participation of the Roma in Slovenia, focusing on the municipal level. It contains an analysis of the development of the legal regulation of political representation of the Roma and the system of electing Roma municipal councillors. There is discussion of problems connected with the establishment of the institute of Roma municipal councillors, resulting mainly from unclear and inadequate legislation. The article further discusses the role and importance of the Roma Community Council as the umbrella Roma organisation in Slovenia. The introduction of the institute of Roma municipal councillors is seen as an important step forward in the political inclusion of the Roma, while the current form and way of working of the Roma Community Council are not believed to offer the right foundations for the development of legitimate and effective Roma representation at the national level. Prispevek obravnava sistem politične participacije Romov v Sloveniji. Osredotoča se na politično participacijo na občinski ravni. Analizira razvoj pravne ureditve romskega političnega predstavništva in sistem izvolitve romskih občinskih svetnikov. Izpostavlja zaplete ob uveljavljanju instituta romskih občinskih svetnikov, ki izhajajo predvsem iz nejasne in pomanjkljive zakonodaje. Obravnava tudi vlogo in pomen Sveta romske skupnosti kot krovne organizacije Romov v Sloveniji. Uvedbo instituta romskih svetnikov ocenjuje kot pomemben korak naprej na področju političnega vključevanja Romov, nasprotno pa opozarja, da trenutna oblika in način delovanja Sveta romske skupnosti ne nudita prave osnove za razvoj legitimnega in učinkovitega romskega predstavništva na nacionalni ravni.

The article discusses the contribution of Roma assistants to the inclusion of Roma children into the Slovene educational system. Through different approaches and methods we evaluated the work of Roma assistants within the research project titled Together to knowledge, which was going on in the years 2014 to 2015. We focused on: class attendance, cooperation between parents and school, performance of school obligations and command of the Slovene language. The work of Roma assistants in schools and kindergartens has been found useful, necessary and positively accepted on the part of schools, kindergartens and Roma community, having been instrumental in improving the situation in all areas under consideration. School directors and mentors of Roma assistants recognized this institute as highly useful and positive. The key advantage of most Roma assistants as compared to teachers is command of Roma language and culture, which contributes to better communication with Roma children and their parents, and helps to establish mutual trust. V članku obravnavamo prispevek romskih pomočnikov k vključevanju romskih otrok v slovenski vzgojnoizobraževalni sistem. Z različnimi pristopi in metodami evalviramo delo romskih pomočnikov v okviru projekta Skupaj do znanja v letih 2014 in 2015. Pri tem se osredotočimo na štiri tematske sklope: obiskovanje pouka, sodelovanje med starši in šolo, opravljanje šolskih obveznosti in znanje slovenskega jezika. Ugotavljamo, da je delo romskih pomočnikov v šolah in vrtcih koristno, potrebno ter dobro sprejeto s strani šol, vrtcev in romske skupnosti ter da prispeva k izboljšanju situacije na vseh obravnavanih področjih. Ključni prednosti večine romskih pomočnikov v primerjavi z učitelji sta znanje romskega jezika in poznavanje romske kulture, kar pripomore k lažjemu komuniciranju z romskimi otroki in njihovimi starši ter pomaga pri vzpostavljanju medsebojnega zaupanja.

The diploma thesis describes the development and deployment of three security policies for a company with more than thousand employees and several locations throughout Slovenia. The thesis begins with a detailed description of the company's environment and the perception of security – related problems. After that, the fundamental characteristics of information security and security policies are reviewed. A special focus is given on the meaning of effectiveness and deployment of security policies in a company’s practice. In this sense, the possible reasons and consequences of an unsuccessful deployment are also presented, followed by a review of two international standards dealing with security policies. In the last part of the thesis, the core ideas of proposed security policies are explained together with their relation to existing documentation in the company. Additionally, we include a short discussion on more restrictive rules, which would probably make the policy less efficient. A step by step description of the necessary activities for deploying the security policies and additions to the existing documentation is given at the end.

Regulating the long-term resident status in selected EU member states. The article provides an overview and comparison of the selected European Union Member States governing the granting of the long-term residence permit for third-country nationals. The basis for this comparative analysis presents the Directive (2003/109/EC), since all the aforementioned countries were obliged to incorporate its contents into their national legislation. In this context, I assessed how the selected countries deviate from the Directive according to the specific criteria and how they differ in regulating of this field. Those criteria are as follows: the conditions for acquiring long-term resident status for third-country nationals; the length of residence required for acquiring the status; potential conditions in the field of integration; the rights to which are the long-term residence holders entitled to. In addition, the article briefly presents previous initiatives by the European Union in the area of long-term residence. It highlights some international documents, which also deal with this area and critically analyzes the content of the Directive. Članek ponuja pregled in primerjavo, kako izbrane države članice Evropske unije urejajo pridobitev dovoljenja za daljši čas za državljane tretjih držav.Podlaga te primerjalne analize je Direktiva Sveta (2003/109/ES), saj so morale obravnavane države njene vsebine vključiti v svoje nacionalne zakonodaje. V tem okviru sem ugotavljal, kako glede na določene kriterije medsebojne primerjave izbrane države upoštevajo Direktivo oziroma kako se njihovo zakonsko urejanje omenjenega področja med seboj razlikuje. Uporabljeni kriteriji so naslednji: pogoji za pridobitev dovoljenja, ki jih morajo izpolniti državljani tretjih držav; dolžina bivanja državljanov tretjih držav, potrebna za pridobitev dovoljenja; morebitni pogoji s področja integracije; pravice, do katerih so upravičeni nosilci statusa rezidenta za daljši čas. Poleg tega članek na kratko predstavlja predhodne pobude Evropske unije za bivanje za daljši čas. Poudarja še nekatere mednarodne dokumente, ki prav tako obravnavajo omenjeno področje, kritično pa analizira vsebino omenjene Direktive.

Family reunification of immigrants in selected EU member states. This article provides an overview and comparison of the selected European Union Member States governing the right to family reunification. The basis for this comparative analysis presents Directive (2003/86/EC), since all the countries were obliged to incorporate its contents into their national legislation. In this context, I assessed how the selected countries deviate from the Directive according to the specific criteria and how they differ. The article focuses on the following questions: which family members are covered by this right; what conditions must be completed by the sponsor and family members for family reunification; the length of the procedure of decision on the request for family reunification and the period the sponsor must spend in the Member State before having his/her family members join him/her; the rights belonging to the family members with the implementation of family reunification. The article presents the historical and current context of legal migration and family reunification in the European Union. In this context, it highlights the key international documents, which led to the creation of common migration policy of the European Union in this area as wellas critically analyzes the content of the Directive. Članek ponuja pregled in primerjavo, kako izbrane države članice Evropske unije urejajo pravico do združitve družine. Podlaga te primerjalne analize je Direktiva (2003/86/ES), saj so morale obravnavane države njene vsebine obvezno vključiti v svoje nacionalne zakonodaje. Pri tem ugotavljam, kako glede na določene kriterije izbrane države upoštevajo Direktivo in kako se pri tem med seboj razlikujejo. Članek se osredotoča na naslednja vprašanja: katere družinske člane zajema ta pravica; katere pogoje morajo za združitev družine izpolniti sponzor in družinski člani; trajanje postopka za odločitev oprošnji za družinsko združitev ter obdobje, ki ga mora sponzor preživeti v državi članici, da se mu lahko pridružijo družinski člani; katere pravice pripadejo družinskim članom po združitvi družine. Članek predstavi tudi zgodovinski in sedanji pravni ter migracijski kontekst združevanja družin v Evropski uniji. V tem okviru poudarja ključne mednarodne dokumente, ki so pripeljali do oblikovanja enotne migracijske politike Evropske unije na tem področju, kritično pa analizira tudi vsebino omenjene Direktive.

The article aims to demonstrate the usefulness of comparative method in the field of constitutional law, in particular in the field of human rights provisions at the constitutional level. It tries to disprove the common assumption that the human rights provisions in different constitutions are almost identical and that the legal unification is in that respect almost complete. The analysis of the European constitutions unveils a somewhat different picture. In part, that assumption is correct. The vast majority of the constitutions incorporate what the authors have called a "common core of human rights", some 20 provisions that can be found in almost all European constitutions (e.g. right to freedom, principle of equality, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, freedom of association etc.). Equally important are, however, certain clusters of human rights provisions (or absence thereof) that are typical of certain groups of constitutions, but not of others. The authors have called these particular clusters of provisions or certain combinations of provision a constitutional profile. Based on the detailed analysis of the constitutions, four distinct constitutional profiles could arguably be recognised, which the authors have described as Nordic, Romanic, Germanic and Common Law group. Razprava skuša pokazati koristnost primerjalnopravne metode na področju ustavnega prava, zlasti na področju ustavnopravnega varstva človekovih pravic.Ovreči skuša splošno sprejeto predpostavko, da so ustavne določbe o varstvu človekovih pravic v različnih ustavah med seboj skoraj enake in da je pravno poenotenje v tem pogledu domala zaključeno. Analiza evropskih ustav nam pokaže nekoliko drugačno sliko. V določenem obsegu predpostavka drži: pretežna večina ustav obsega ćskupno jedro človekovih pravicć, kot so avtorji poimenovali približno 20 kategorij človekovih pravic, ki jih lahko najdemo v skoraj vseh evropskih ustavah (npr. pravica do svobode, načelo enakosti, svoboda izražanja, svoboda zbiranja in združevanja itd.). Enako pomembni pa so določeni sklopi določb o človekovih pravicah, ki so določenih ustavah prisotni, v drugih pa jih zaman iščemo, in ustvarjajo pomembne razlike med ustavami. Obstoj in določena povezava takšnih sklopov človekovih pravic opredeljujejo nekaj tipičnih modelov ustavnega urejanja človekovih pravic, ki so ga avtorji imenovali ustavni profili. Podrobna analiza ustav razkrije štiri različne ustavne profile, ki so jih avtorji opisali kot nordijsko, romansko, germansko in common law skupino.

THE IMPACT OF EUROPEAN SETTLERS UPON THE PROCESSES OF DECOLONIZATION AND EMIGRATION IN THE CASE OF AFRICAN STATES: ALGERIA, ANGOLA AND ZIMBABWE. The article focuses upon emigration of the so called European settlers from the African colonies Algeria, Angola and Zimbabwe into Europe. This is the less known part in the post-war history of international migrations on this relation and into Europe in general. Even today it cannot be viewed as one of the finished episodes of the contemporary migrational history. The author emphasizes the importance of this process and of the type of migrations in the setting up of migrational networks between Africa and Europe. The article first deals with the circumstances that brought about mass emigration of the European population into African colonies. This took place from the end of 19th century to the beginning of the 1970s. The article focuses on the survey of political and socio-economic conditions that ruled among the European settlers and majority population in the respective colonies. These conditions,characterized by anticolonialism, led to the exodus of European settlers from these territories. The author describes each of the selected cases in terms of the degree to which the colonial ties affected the setting up and strengthening of migrational ties, above all between settlers and their former European centers. Ever since the recognition of independence of the three colonies there has been a slow increase of the emigration of majority population. Članek se osredotoča na emigracije t. i. evropskih naseljencev iz afriških kolonij v Evropo, na primeru Alžirije, Angole in Zimbabveja. To je manj znani del v povojni zgodovini mednarodnih migracij na omenjeni relaciji oziroma v Evropo sicer. Vse do danes ga ne moremo pojmovati kot eno od končanih epizod sodobne migracijske zgodovine. Poudarja pomembnost tega procesa oziroma vrste migracij pri vzpostavljanju migracijskih omrežij med Afriko in Evropo. Prispevek se najprej na kratko ustavi pri okoliščinah, ki so pripeljale do množičnejših emigracij evropskega prebivalstva v afriške kolonije. Te so potekale predvsem od konca 19. stoletja do začetka sedemdesetih let 20. stoletja. Poudarek je na pregledu političnih in socialno-ekonomskih razmer, ki so vladale med evropskimi naseljenci in večinskim prebivalstvom v izbranih primerih Afrike. Te razmere so namreč v duhu antikolonializma, ki je vladal na celini, pripeljale do bega evropskih naseljencev s teh ozemelj. Pri vsakem izmed izbranih primerov je nakazano, v kolikšni meri so kolonialne vezi vplivale na vzpostavitev in krepitev migracijskih vezi, predvsem med njimi in njihovimi nekdanjimi evropskimi centri. Od osamosvojitve omenjenih treh kolonij je namreč na tej relaciji počasi prihajalo do porasta emigracij večinskega prebivalstva.
