The eighth international online conference “Contemporary Security Challenges” was held on November 30, organized by the Faculty of Security of the Moscow Region State University (MGOU).

In addition to the hosts and other universities from the Russian Federation, lecturers from the Republic of Serbia participated, while the Faculty of Security Sciences presented five presentations.

In a lecture delivered in Russian, the Dean, Prof. Dr. Predrag Ćeranić, spoke on the topic “Security and the Dayton Peace Agreement,” emphasizing the necessity of respecting the letter of Dayton and restoring the original competencies of Republika Srpska as granted by the agreement.

Senior Assistant Milica Sikimić, MA, delivered a lecture in Russian on “Personal Data Protection in Republika Srpska.” Sikimić analyzed the personal data protection system in Srpska within the context of current legal solutions.

Senior Assistant Dr. Gojko Šetka gave a lecture on “The Influence of the International Community on the Police System of Bosnia and Herzegovina.” By providing a chronology of changes, Šetka emphasized that the BiH police system was forcibly altered under international influence, which consequently led to increased entropy within the system.

Teaching Assistant Duško Baškalo presented on “The Radicalization Process as a Stage of Terrorist Recruitment.” Baškalo provided an overview of basic concepts and recruitment methodology, with an emphasis on preventing radicalization.

Second-year student Jovana Jandrić opened the second session of the conference with a presentation on “Student Perception of Security and Forensics Lectures Conducted via Modern Technologies.” Jandrić highlighted that, in assessing the quality of the teaching process, students give the most weight to laboratory work, while online teaching proved to be a less reliable method of knowledge transfer.

This is the fifth conference organized by a university from the Russian Federation in which lecturers and students of the Faculty have participated.
