This study examines the integration of disaster risk reduction (DRR) into security and defense studies curricula at Serbian universities, focusing on public and private institutions. As climate change accelerates and natural disasters become more frequent, addressing these risks is critical for national security and sustainable development. This research evaluates the extent of DRR incorporation in curricula and the use of emerging technologies in DRR education. A qualitative analysis of programs at institutions such as the Faculty of Security Studies at the University of Belgrade, the Military Academy, the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies, and private universities like Singidunum and Educons University reveals that public institutions have made significant progress. However, private universities still need comprehensive DRR-focused courses and technological integration. This study recommends fostering collaboration between public and private universities, expanding access to the National Simulation Center, and incorporating modern technologies and active learning strategies across curricula to bridge existing gaps. These steps equip future security professionals with the practical skills and interdisciplinary knowledge necessary for effective disaster management in an increasingly complex risk environment.

Building and improving investigative interviewing standards is an important topic for police, citizens and finally society. This paper attempts to improve police interviewing of suspects. We further develop the concept of investigative interviewing by linking it to important insights by social movement scholars. Differences in theories reflect different approaches to the interviewing of suspects. In this article, we explore a variety of theories that may improve preparation for the interviewing of suspects. We provide a multidimensional quality and import theories from sociology, psychology and behavioural studies, modifying these to better fit the investigative interviewing of suspects. The main method applied in the paper is content analysis. The article and its conclusions also address the broader implications of understanding the importance of planning for the investigative interviewing of suspects. Results of the study indicate need for actively seeking of best practices of the investigative interviewing of suspects. Understanding what motivates person to commit a crime is also a crucial aspect of police investigation. Findings of the study may serve as impulse for evaluation and improvement of existing practices of interviewing of suspects and contribute to the broader knowledge in this area. The aforementioned represents a good basis for the development of simulation models for the training of investigators.

Contemporary terrorism is one of the critical social problems, a serious threat for life, basic rights of citizens and values of society. However, its financing it is recognized as a special security risk, as an illegal and very dangerous practice that represents a significant threat to national and international security. Terrorist organizations and their activities such as planning, preparation and execution of terrorist acts they are most often supported by funds from illegal sources, although the fact that in quite a few cases, financing is done with completely legal means. Given on the role that financing has, as an indispensable element of the fight against terrorism, is imposed precisely the fight against its financing. Due to the national and international character of this criminal activities, it is necessary that the efforts invested in suppressing financing and in general terrorism have a transnational character with a large investment in mutual cooperation. Only some of the efforts are the application of strict financial regulations, the monitoring of suspicious transactions and freezing the assets of suspected individuals or organizations involved in terrorism. Text aims to point out the institutionalized efforts that have been made so far in the field of combating the financing of terrorism. in addition, a review will be made mechanisms established by the Republic of Serbia in the field of combating the financing of terrorism, in accordance with the efforts of the international community in that field.

This research examines the attitudes of a targeted group of respondents (N=107) concerning emergency situations, with a particular focus on the Republic of Serbia and the critical role of national logistics in ensuring national security. Within this research framework, national logistics encompasses fulfilling all material requirements essential for effectively addressing security challenges and threats. These include the needs of the military, police, civil protection, civilian population, and economy in Serbia, such as the provision of food, clothing, fuel, equipment, ammunition, spare parts, medicines, transportation, energy, and infrastructure. The study analyzes the key factors that enable the management and mitigation of risks during war, emergencies, and crises in Serbia. It provides valuable insights into participants' attitudes and perceptions regarding the importance of logistical preparedness in reducing risks and responding to potential security threats at the national level.

The language of risk has become central to international politics, yet contemporary institutions still respond as if crises were isolated and sequential. That assumption no longer holds. Economic, climate, and war-related shocks intensify migration, disrupt energy and food systems, digital disinformation magnifies polarization, and demographic decline weakens the fiscal and social capacity needed for adaptation. The result is not a simple accumulation of dangers, but a new pattern of interconnected fragility. The shift is also visible in the way risks are perceived. During the previous phase of globalization, many governments treated economic volatility as the dominant cross-border problem and assumed that technological progress would, on balance, increase efficiency faster than it increased instability. Recent evidence suggests a different picture. Risk rankings now combine classic geopolitical dangers with social, technological, and environmental pressures that interact continuously.
