In Issue 4, 2020, of "Südosteuropa", cultural anthropologist Rossitsa Bolgurova (Sofia) explores labor relations in international firms in Bulgaria through the prism of company celebrations. Economists Kujtim Zylfijaj (Pristina), Dimitar Nikoloski (Bitola), and Nadine Tournois (Nice) examine the impact of the business environment on the formalisation of informal firms in Kosovo. Based on legal theory and case-laws, Enver Hasani (Pristina) discusses the role of the constitutional courts in law-making and maintaining democracy in Kosovo.
In the Open Section, Tihomir Cipek (Zagreb) comments on Croatia’s presidency of the council of the European Union (January — June 2020).
