Mobilnost utječe na povećani broj prekograničnih obiteljskih postupaka, čime je učinkovitost postojećih mehanizama za njihovo rješavanje stavljena na kušnju. Pitanje je, može li suvremeni razvoj tehnologije i sredstava komunikacije ponuditi premosnicu, da li je pandemija utjecala na njegovo učestalije korištenje? Odlučni utjecaj IKT na rješavanje p...

Najčešće se u prekograničnim odnosima propitkuje...

Tomu nisu iznimka niti sporovi vezani za obitelj i dijete. Rješavanju prekograničnog statusnog pitanja ili pak ostvarivanju pravne zaštite u...
