An online competition where everyone wins - was the motto of this
year's Arbona Win-Win Competition, which aimed to provide students
and companies the opportunity to get to know at least part of
what digital marketing allows. It is a competition for the best marketing
campaign to which more than 300 students applied, and
among them was a large number of students from the Faculty of
Economics & Business in Zagreb, whose interest pleasantly surprised
the organizers.
Students created campaigns for 65 out of 240 registered companies,
and the best 65 teams had the opportunity to conduct a created
campaign with a real budget and win the main prize of HRK
5,000.00. Students thus had the opportunity to learn and experience
the entire process of creating a digital campaign, from the idea to
the presentation of the results to the company. Through workshops
with expert guidance, they also had the opportunity to learn the
little secrets of the great masters of Google Ads that they applied in
their campaigns. The best campaigns went into the implementation
phase with Arbona's budget of HRK 500.00 per campaign and
showed what they learned about the dynamic world of digital marketing.
At the very end of the competition, the three final teams, according
to Arbona's expert jury and the company rating, presented their
campaigns, showing the acquired knowledge and effort, and the first
place was won by FEBZG students Sara Drešar, Ivana Kontin, Bruno
Kruljac, and Petra Merle.

At the World University Debate Championship held online from July
6 to 14, 2021, Zagreb students once again achieved historic success.
Lovro Šprem from the Faculty of Economics & Business and Tin
Puljić from the Faculty of Political Science became world champions,
which makes them the first champions in history for whom English
is not their mother tongue and were individually declared the first
and second debaters in the world.
In a competition attended by over 400 teams from around the world,
Lovro and Tin defeated opponents from prestigious institutions such
as Harvard, Standford, Oxford, and Cambridge. Among other things,
they have discussed such issues as South Korea's geopolitical relations,
Amazon's and Uber's business models, police strategies to
prevent organized crime, rules that should exist on social media, and
many other complex issues. Deep and demanding topics of discussion,
with only 15 minutes of preparation for each topic and a randomly
assigned side with which the debaters do not necessarily
agree on a personal level made debate an intellectually extremely
demanding discipline.
became champions in the category English as a Second Language
and European vice-champions in the open category.
Lovro Šprem and Tin Puljić are proud of their success, but also of the
success of the younger debaters who have also achieved notable
success and for whom they have been mentors. Most of all, they
hope that the success of all Zagreb debates could pave the way for
the further development of the university debate in Croatia, which
will bring to greater attention and consequently funding so that it
becomes available to all who want to deal with it.
Tin and Lovro have had several successes before - in 2019 they were
world vice-champions at the World Championships in Cape Town,
and later that year at the European Championships in Athens they

Catholic scientific conference opened to the public in which the
social doctrine of the Catholic Church is promoted and represented.
In the 2nd session in 1937 on the topic "Family in Today's
Society", Dr. Eugen Sladović gave a prominent lecture
"Family and the State" in which he deals from legal and social
point-of-view with the interaction and position of the family
and the state in the state systems of that time. In doing so, he
emphatically criticizes the population policy and attitude of the
state towards the family in fascist Italy, corporatist Austria, National
Socialist Germany (with special reference to racial laws),
and Bolshevik Russia (with emphasis on marriage law as the basis
for creating a family). This lecture (published in Proceedings of
the conference - listed above) later earned him the label of a
“clericalist” and was a probable reason for his removal from SEC
and the University after WWII.
As the secretary of the section of the “Association of University
Teachers” (of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia) in Zagreb, Dr. Sladović
in 1939, after the founding of the Banovina of Croatia, took part

In the second half of the 1930s, Dr. Sladović, with Dr. Milan
Ivšić, Dr. Juraj Šćetinac, and Dr. Edo Lovrić, Rector of the University
of Zagreb, and under the auspices of the Archbishop of
Zagreb Dr. Antun Bauer, organized the Croatian Social Week, a
in the transformation into the "Croatian Society of University
Professors", of which he was the first secretary.
At the time of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), he was
considered a leading constitutional expert writer… on topics related
to the structure of the state and society, while like many Catholic
intellectuals… he clearly rejected fascism and National Socialism,
and legally defined the NDH as an "authoritative state on a democratic
basis".
11

After the collapse of the Independent State of Croatia, most of
the professors at the Croatian School of Economics and Commerce
(CSEC) left Croatia, fearing justifiably or not the consequences
of their actions in that period. Dr. Eugen Sladović, who
was at the time of disintegration of the Independent State of
Croatia a vice-rector of CSEC, obviously not afraid of that, stays
with a small number of his colleagues (Dr. Nagy, Dr. Cuvaj, Dr.
Krajčević, Dr. Leitner, Dr. Valdec) in Zagreb. When, in the autumn
of 1945, Dr. Mijo Mirković, as the appointed rector, "took
over" the reconstruction of the School of Economics and Commerce,
one of his biggest problems was gathering the necessary
teaching staff, with an additional obstacle being the so-called a
University Court of Honor that was nothing but a political inquisition,
which does not judge who came out of the war "with
clean hands", but instead who is politically eligible and who is
not. Knowing Dr. Sladović and his entire work well, at the First
session of the Professors Council of the School of Economics and
Commerce in Zagreb, held on October 3, 1945, Dr. Mirković expressed
a positive opinion of him as ... a very valuable gentleman,
who still could master many things (in teaching), but… will
probably face like other SOC teachers the University Court of Honor.
Unfortunately, Mirković's unspoken premonitions came
true. By the decision of the University Court of Honor, Dr. Eugen
Sladović was permanently removed from the EKVŠ and the
University of Zagreb, and his only "proven sin" was the label of
a "clericalist".
Prof. Eugen Sladović died at the age of 78, completely forgotten
by the public, in Zagreb on October 8, 1960.

In the cycle organized by the Croatian Center of the European Law
Institute (ELI Croatian Hub), the sixth webinar was held on September
17, 2021, with the guest lecturer Mr. Uglješa Grušić, Ph.D., from
University College London, Faculty of Laws. The webinar brought
together participants from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany,
Kosovo, and Northern Macedonia.
The sixth webinar was opened by Mr. Hrvoje Pauković, M.Sc., director
of the Croatian Insurance Bureau and co-head of ELI Croatian
Hub. The topic of the webinar was Civil Liability for Human Rights
Violations: A Novelty in Comparative Law. In his lecture, Mr. Grušić,
Ph.D., presented the key findings of the comparative law project on
civil liability for human rights violations, of which he was the cocoordinator.
The project explored existing mechanisms for filing
civil lawsuits aimed at establishing the accountability of public and
private actors for human rights violations in sixteen national legal
systems. National reports and project findings will be published by
Hart Publishing in the book E. Aristova and U. Grušić (ed.), Civil
Remedies and Human Rights in Flux: Key Legal Developments in Selected
Jurisdictions (Hart, 2022).
Mr. Grušić, Ph.D., in his lecture focused on three novelties: 1) innovative
use of civil law to establish liability in a business and human
rights context (e.g. direct liability of the parent company, secondary
liability, lawsuits based on the rules of unjust enrichment and real
property); 2) innovative civil lawsuits against public and private
actors in which one of the essential elements is a violation of international
public law (e.g. the Nevsun case in Canada and the cases of
Mothers of Srebrenica, Urgenda, and Milieudefensie vs. RDS in the
Netherlands); 3) an increase in the number of special laws aimed at
eliminating certain types of human rights violations that rely on
existing civil law mechanisms (e.g. the French law on due diligence).
After discussion with the participants, the webinar was concluded
with the announcement of the seventh and eighth webinars to be
held in October.

Announcements of the ELI Croatian Hub webinars in October
October 8, 2021, at 6 pm - the seventh ELI Croatian Hub webinar will be opened by Assist. Prof. Ivan Tot, Ph.D., and the guest lecturer
will be Prof. Alan Uzelac, Ph.D., full professor and Head of the Chir of Civil Procedural Law at the Faculty of Law, University of Zagreb,
who will give a lecture "European rules of civil procedure: How could the ELI / UNIDROIT model improve Croatian procedural law?". In
the focus of the seventh webinar is a joint project of the European Law Institute (ELI) and the International Institute for the Unification
of Private Law (UNIDROIT): "From Transnational Principles to European Rules of Civil Procedure". Work on the project was completed in
September 2020, after nearly seven years of uninterrupted work. Elaborating on the principles published in 2004 by the American Law
Institute (ALI) in collaboration with UNIDROIT, a comprehensive set of procedural rules was presented that should include best European
civil procedural law practices in a way that allows for their direct or partial transposition into national procedural legislation of European
countries. More than 50 experts in the civil process from the academic and professional spheres from various European countries
worked on this unique project. In this lecture, Prof. Alan Uzelac, Ph.D., as one of them, who was also an active coordinator of one of the
working groups, will present the outcomes of this project and its potential benefits for future reforms of Croatian civil procedural law.

In July 2021, AMPEU published a public invitation to higher education
institutions to participate in the international virtual fair EAIE
Community Exchange 2021 - Virtual conference & exhibition, which
will be held from September 28 to October 1, 2021, via a virtual platform.
The aim of this Call was to select up to 25 Croatian higher
education institutions whose representatives will participate in the
fair and promote the work of their institutions and study opportunities
in the Republic of Croatia. The Faculty of Economics & Business
- Zagreb has successfully passed the evaluation and will take part in
one of the world's largest conferences for an international education
and have its sub-stand.
The purpose of the fair is to network with foreign higher education
institutions, concluding new partnerships, and strengthening the
presence in the field of international higher education. We emphasize
that this fair is not visited by pupils and students but is intend-
14

ed for employees of higher education institutions and other institutions
and organizations focused on international cooperation and
internationalization. In addition to the exhibition part, a virtual
conference with a rich program will take place in parallel.
The Agency leased a national virtual pavilion at the EAIE Community
Exchange event, which can be attended by up to 25 subcontractors,
i.e., higher education institutions. Each of the subcontractors
will have at disposal their website within the pavilion and the possibility
of arranging and holding online meetings.
On September 13, 2021, promotional billboards of the Office for
International Cooperation were installed in the lobby of the Faculty.
The panel entitled FEBZG International Student Exchange explains
to local students everything they need to know about the
exchange, while the bilingual panel of the Ured za međunarodnu
suradnju / International Office addresses domestic and foreign exchange
students with the aim of getting acquainted with all activities
of the Student Office.
