STATUS OF ORPHAN WORKS IN COPYRIGHT AND RELATED RIGHTS OF
BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA AND THE HARMONIZATION OF B&amp;H
COPYRIGHT AND RELATED RIGHTS RULES WITH DIRECTIVE 2012/28/EU ON
CERTAIN PERMITTED USES OF ORPHAN WORKS
Sažetak
Autorska djela „siročadi“ su takve intelektualne tvorevine za koje je izvjesno da su kvalifikovane za
autorskopravnu zaštitu po pozitivnim normama autorskog i srodnih prava, povodom kojih je, dalje,
izvjesno da nije istekao vremenski period zaštite, ali, povodom kojih autor ili drugi nosilac autorskih
imovinskih ili drugih prava nije poznat ili ne može da bude utvrđen, odnosno jeste poznat ili može biti
utvrđen, ali gdje nakon onoga što član 2 st. 1 Direktive 2012/28/EU Evropskog parlamenta i Savjeta
donešene 25. oktobra 2012. godine o izvjesnim dozvoljenim upotrebama autorskih djela „siročadi“ zove
„diligentnom“ potragom autor ili nosilac prava ne može da se pronađe radi davanja odobrenja za zaštićenu
upotrebu tog autorskog djela. Britanska Biblioteka procjenjuje da 40% njene kolekcije predstavljaju
autorska djela „siročadi“. Za istraživače, arhiviste kao i bilo koja druga lica koja žele da koriste autorska
djela „siročadi“ ali koja to ne mogu budući da ne mogu da ne mogu da nađu ovlašteno lice za davanje
dozvole postojanje ovih vrsta autorskih djela ali nepostojanje mehanizma za njehovu legalnu upotrebu
predstavlja neprihvatljivo ugrožavanje pravne sigurnosti u sitemu zaštite autorskog i srodnih prava, te
neopravdano izuzimanje velikog postotka i broja intelektualnih tvorevina iz kulturološkog, naučnog i
stvaralačkog diskursa društva. Rad počinje sa pojmovnim određenjem autorskog djela „siročadi“ te
uticajem postojanja ovih vrsta autorskih djela na stvaralački potencijal i općenito na društvo. Analiziraju se
pozitivnopravna pravila u Zakonu o autorskom i srodnim pravima (Sl. glasnik BiH 63/10) koja se mogu
primjeniti na iteracije autorskih djela ove vrste. Izvršava se analiza direktive 2012/28/EU, te se na kraju
donosi zaključak o tome kako i u kom obimu Bosna i Hercegovina bi trebala da transponira ovu direktivu
u svoj pozitivnopravni sistem zaštite autorskog i srodnih prava, a sa ciljem uklanjanja pravno neželjenih
dejstava koje njihovo postojanje uzrokuje.
Ključne riječi: autorsko djelo „siroče“, Direktiva 2012/28/EU, diligentna potraga, nepoznat autor, Bosna
i Hercegovina

�1. Uvod
Kada ljudsko biće stvaralački intelektualno djeluje u domenu književnosti, umjetnosti ili nauke na
takav način da nastaje individualna intelektualna tvorevina, pravni poredak plodu takvog djelovanja, koje se
tada naziva autorsko djelo, pruža autorskopravnu zaštitu.
Individualna intelektualna tvorevina koja bi bila intelektualnopravno odnosno autorskopravno na
ovaj način zaštićena je pojmovno široko definisana u članu 4 st. 1 Zakona o autorskom i srodnim pravimai,
a što čini mogućnost klasifikovanja izvjesne intelektualne tvorevine autorskim djelom tim više vjerovatnim.
Da bi autor stekao autorskopravnu zaštitu povodom klasifikovane intelektualne tvorevine, isti ne
mora da poduzme bilo kakvo daljnje djelovanje. Pružanje autorskopravne zaštite je automatsko, a nastaje u
trenutku stvaranja autorskog djelaii. Autor se ne može odreći autorskopravne zaštite, pa čak ne može ni da
disponira sa svim subjektivnim pravima koja proizilaze iz dotičnog autorskog prava povodom dotičnog
autorskog djelaiii. Osnutak djela, nezavršeno djelo, naslov i drugi sastojci autorskog djela su takođe
autorskopravno zaštićeni kao i samo autorsko djeloiv, a prema presudi Evropskog suda pravde čak samo 6
riječi može biti autorskopravno zaštićenov.
ZAISP poznaje dvanaest imenovanih vrsta autorskih djelavi, a taj broj nije konačanvii, te je
opravdano zaključiti da ne postoji vrsta ljudskog intelektualnog djelovanja (u poprilično široko definisanim
kategorijama umjetnosti, nauke i književnosti) koja se ima smatrati apsolutno izuzetom iz autorskopravne
zaštiteviii. Primjetna je historijska tendencija ekspanzije kako pojma autorskog djela tako i obima autorskog
prava autora povodom takvih intelektualnih tvorevinaix.
Jednom kada bude pružena, autorskopravna zaštita traje, po pravilux, sedamdesetxi godina nakon
smrti autoraxii.
Kombinacija izuzetno široko definisanog pojma kvalifikovane intelektualne tvorevine,
automatizma zaštite koja ne iziskiva bilo kakvo aktivno djelovanje od strane autora ili nosioca prava da bi
dotična intelektualna tvorevina bila potpuno i cjelovito autorskopravno zaštićena, a gdje autor ne može da
se, u cijelosti, odreke autorskopravne zaštite, kvalifikovanosti sve većeg broja vrsta intelektualnog
djelovanja ljudskih bića kao i izrazito dugoročnog trajanja autorskopravne zaštite nalazi negativnu
nuspojavu u pojavljivanju iteracija autorskih djela povodom kojih nije isteklo vremensko trajanje
autorskopravne zaštite, ali povodom kojih autor ili nosilac prava ili nije poznat, odnosno i ako je poznat,
autor ili nosilac prava ne mogu da budu identifikovani, odnosno ne postoji razuman i objektivno opravdan
način da ih se kontaktira da bi se dobila dozvola za izvjesno djelovanje povodom njihovih zaštićenih
intelektualnih tvorevina. Takva autorska djela se zovu autorska djela siročadxiii.
djelaxv

Svaka vrsta autorskog djela može da bude autorsko djelo siročadixiv, a izvjesne vrste autorskih
su podložnije tome da budu tako klasifikovane.

�Autorsko pravo je po svojoj prirodi isključivoxvi. Mehanizam djelovanja autorskopravne zaštite je
takav da izvjesna postupanja povodom autorskih djela može da uradi samo autor ili od strane autora
ovlašteno lice.
Korisnik koji želi da koristi takvo autorsko djelo povodom kog autor ili nosilac prava nije poznat,
odnosno gdje takav autor ili nosilac prava ne mogu biti kontaktirani radi davanja neophodnog odobrenja,
se nalazi u situaciji gdje mora da donese odluku da li će da povrijedi autorsko pravo nepoznatog odnosno
nepristupačnog autora ili nosioca prava, u nadi da isti nikada neće da sazna za korištenje autorskog djela
korisnika, ili će da donese odluku da ne koristi autorsko djelo u pitanju, iz straha da će nosilac da se pojavi
u budućnosti te da zahtjeva naknadu štete, odnosno gdje korisnik može biti izložen strogimxvii
sankcijamaxviii za povredu autorskog i srodnih prava.
Obije ove opcije su jednako nepoželjne za društvo i za pravni poredak, i obije ove opcije jednako
predstavljaju opasnost za pravni sigurnost tog pravnog poretka.
U prvom slučaju manifestacija te nepoželjnosti se ima naći u činjenici da korisnik se potiče da
svjesno vrijeđa subjektivna prava drugog lica i pozitivne pravne norme koje uređuju odnose subjekata
prava povodom ove materije.
U drugom slučaju manifestacija te nepoželjnosti se ima naći u činjenici da intelektualna tvorevina
se namjerno izostavlja iz kreativnog supstrata društva, kojim to društvo ostaje tim više osiromašeno za tu
intelektualnu tvorevinu s jedne strane, odnsono predstavlja negiranje same svrhe autorskopravne zaštitexix i
balansa interesa između autora s jedne strane te svih drugih lica s druge stranexx koja je okosnica
društvenog ugovora u srcu opravdanosti pružanja autorskopravne zaštite.
Ovo je razlog zašto je Evropska unija odlučila da donese propise koji u izvjesnom obimu
harmoniziraju instrumentarij rješavanja problem autorskih djela siročadi u vidu Direktive 2012/28/EU
Europskog Parlamenta i Vijeća od 25.10. 2012. godine o određenim dozvoljenim korištenjima djela
siročadixxi.
Predmet ovog rada jeste da se utvrdi pojam autorskih djela siročadi, da se utvrdi koji je obim
problema, odnosno da se pokuša utvrditi da li su u praksi instance autorskih djela siročadi prominentne ili
relativno rijetke. Ovdje je posebno bitno napomenuti da je pitanje digitalizovanja kolekcija javnih
biblioteka, ali i drugih analognih primjeraka autorskih djela kulturalnih ali i drugih ustanova posebno
Kao što je vidljivo iz odredbi člana 15 ZAISP-a: „Autorsko pravo... koje sadrži isključiva ličnopravna ovlaštenja... isključiva
imovinskopravna ovlašenja“, odnosno iz relevannih odredbi koje se odnose na definisanje konkretnih objektivnih prava koja bi
trebao autor imati prema autorskom djelu u pitanju, a kao še je slučaj na primjer u odredbi člana 20 st. 1 : „Autorska imovinska
prava sadrže isključivo ovlaštnje autora da zabrani ili dozvoli iskorištavanje svog djela i primjeraka tog djeal, ako ovim Zakonom
nije drugačije određeno.“.
xvii U autorskopravnoj teoriji postoji struja misli koja smatra da sankcije koje su predviđene za individualne povrede autorskih djela
su neopravdano visoke, a kojoj koncepciji se pridružuje i autor. Postoji i mišljenje, uglavnom zastupano od strane zastupnika
nosilaca prava da sankcije nisu dovoljno stroge, te koji pozivaju na pooštravanje sankcija za iteracije povrede autorskog prava
autora ili nosioca prava.
xviii Vidi član 171 st. 1: „Novčanom kaznom u iznosu od 1.000 KM do 200.000 KM kaznit će se za prekršaj pravno lice, a
novčanom kaznom u iznosu od 1.000 KM do 20.000 KM kaznit će se za prekršaj preduzetnik...“ st. 2: „Novčanom kaznom u
iznosu od 3.000 KM do 20.000 KM kaznit će se za prekršaj iz stava (1) ovog člana i odgovorno lice u pravnom licu i kod
preduzetnika.“, te stav 3. „(3) Novčanom kaznom u iznosu od 3.000 KM do 10.000 KM kaznit će se za prekršaj iz stava (1) ovog
člana fizičko lice.“ Budući da sankcije u citiranim stavovima se potencijalno imaju primjeniti na svaku pojedinu povredu autorskog
prava, te da povodom izvjesnog autorskog djela ima preko dvadeset vrsta subjektivnih autorskih prava, i da svaki vid
nedozvoljenog djelovanja predstavlja povredu, lako je da kumulacijom dođe do izrazito velikog broja povreda i rezultirajućih
novčanih i drugih sankcija.“
xix Sa ovim stanovištem se slaže i Copyright Office Sjedinjenih Američkih Država, vidi: (United States Copyright Office, 06.2015):
3.
xx A koja bi se mogla karakterisati na sljedeći način: Društveni poredak kao nagradu za stvaranje intelektualne tvorevine i kao
motivaciju za daljnje stvaranje, daje autoru kao i svim drugim licima koje autor ovlasti pravo da isključi iz izvjesnog djelovanja sva
druga lica, te da na taj način osigura da, ukoliko ima biti ekonomske koristi od korištenja autorskog djela, autor će biti taj koji će,
relativno, imati kontrolu nad ostvarivanjem te koristi. Društvo zauzvrat dobija povećanje stvaralačkog supstrata društva, te nakon
proteka vremena trajanja zaštite, sve jedinke društva mogu slobodno da koriste intelektualne tvorevine u pitanju.

�osjetljivo i relevantno za pitanje pravne dozvoljenosti upotrebe autorskih djela siročadi, odnosno
ilustrativni za nepoželjnost javljanja iteracija autorskih djela siročadi. Bitno je navesti i da, usljed
digitalizacije, te trenda sve češće i obimnije upotrebe primjeraka autorskih djela i predmeta srodnih prava
od strane sve većeg obima i vrsta korisnika, da je potrebno omogućiti što veći stepen pravne sigurnosti, te
inklucziju što većeg broja intelektualnih tvorevina, bile one zaštićene ili ne, brinuli se autori ili nosioci prava
o njima ili ne, a za što optimalniji društveni, intelektualni i stvaralački razvoj potencijala društva.
Rad će potom analizirati poztivnopravne mehanizme zaštite kako autora povodom autorskih
djela siročadi, tako i korisnika koji želi koristiti autorska djela siročadi.
Rad će izvršiti analizu acquis po pitanju izvjesnih upotreba autorskih djela siročadi, te pojedinosti
konkretnih mehanizama za osiguranvanje balansa interesa zaštite autora odnosno nosioca prava ali i
korisnika koji želi da koristi autorsko djelo siročadi u državama članicama.
2. Pojam autorskog djela siročadi i obim problema postojanja autorskog djela siročadi
U Green Paper on the Knowledge Economyxxii Evropska komisija je definirala autorska djela
siročadi kao: „Autorska djela siročadi su takva djela povodom koji još uvijek traje autorskopravna zaštita,
ali čiji vlasnici ne mogu biti identifikovani ili lociranixxiii.xxiv“xxv
Po navedenoj definiciji karakteristike autorskog djela siročadi su:
a)
Da se radi o intelektualnoj tvorevini koja je kvalifikovana kao autorsko djelo po
normama pozitivnog autorskog prava;
b)
Da povodom tog autorskog djela nije istekao vremenski interval zaštite, odnosno
da predmetno autorsko djelo je još uvijek predmetom autorskopravne zaštite, te da postupanje na
izvjestan način prema tom autorskom djelu predstavlja isključivo pravo autora odnosno lica koje je
autor izričito i pravno valjano ovlastio na takvo djelovanje, odnosno gdje je tako djelovanje
dozvoljeno od strane relevatnihin sadržinskih ograničenja autorskog i srodnih prava ili drugim
odredbama ZAISP-a ili drugog relevantnog zakona;
c)
Da vlasnicixxvi tog autorskog djela:
a.
Ne mogu biti na bilo koji način identifikovani, a što može da nastane bilo
na osnovu činjenice da je autor odlučio, u okviru svog autorskog moralnog pravaxxvii da taj
konkretni ili sve nastale primjerke izvjesnog autorskog djela ne označi nikakvom
oznakom, označi djelo kao autorsko djelo anonimnog autora, označi oznakom koja je
izgubila svoj inicijalni karakter koji je ukazivao na ličnost autora, označi pseudonimo,
odnosno gdje, bilo namjerno ili nenamjerno, takva oznaka identiteta autora je izgubljena ili
na drugi način uklonjena sa tog ili svih primjerka autorskog djela, te
b.
Mogu biti identifikovani na bilo koji način koji proizvodi jasan identitet
jedne jedinke kao stvaratelja zaštićene intelektualne tvorevine u pitanju, ali gdje ta
identifkovana jedinka koja je autor autorskog djela ne može da se locira, u smislu da ne
postoji način da se sa izvjesnošću utvrdi gdje je ta osoba da bi se moglo sa istom
korespondirati na način kojim bi ista odobrila pravom zaštićenu upotrebu autorskog djela
u pitanju.
Veoma sličnu definiciju je prihvatio i Australian Copyright Councilxxviii.

(Commission of the European Communities, 2008)

xxiv „Orphan works are works which are still in copyright but whose owners cannot be identified or located.
xxv (Commission of the European Communities, 2008): 10
xxvi Evropska komisija je ovdje, evidentno, odlučila da koristi kolektivni izraz „vlasnici“ za autora te za od strane autora lica koja su
ovlaštena da postupaju povodom zaštićenog autorskog djela na izvjestan način, odnosno povodom kojih je autor autorska
imovinska prava ili druga prava autora na pravno valjan nčain i sa pravno valjanim iustus titulusom prenio subjektivna autorska
prava.

�Sličnu definiciju je predložio i U.S. Copyright Office u Report on Orphan Worksxxix koja ima
identična tri elementaxxx. Tu definiciju prihvataju i izvjesni autorskopravni piscixxxi.
Ova definicija predstavlja dobru polazišnu tačku za razmatranje pojma autorskog djela siročadi,
međutim ista ima značajnih nedostataka. Ti nedostatci se ogledaju u tačkci c)xxxii karakteristike autorskog
djela siročadi. Naime definicija ostavlja otvorenim pitanja situacija kada se kod izvjesnog koautorskog djela
ne može da identifikuje jedan ili više koautora, ali može da identifikuje najmanje jedan koautor odnosno
može da se identifijuje najmanje jedan nosilac prava, ali takođe ne može da se identifikuje jedan ili više
drugih nosilaca prava, te pitanje značenja pojma „lociranja“ nosioca autorskog djela. Upotreba izraza
„lociranje“ nije dovoljno precizna za potrebe definiranja ovog pojma, budući da ostavlja veliki potencijal za
provizorno tumačenje odnosno ne ukazuje na prirodu korespondencije koja je potrebna između lica koje
želi da koristi autorsko djelo i autora ili nosioca prava koji nije dostupan za „lociranje“.
Evropska unija je u Direktivi 2012/28/EU odlučila da ponudi izmjenjenu definiciju u članu 2
iste, tako da su definirali autorsko djelo siročad kao: „Djelo ili fonogram smatra se djelom siročetom ako
nije utvrđen nijedan od nositelja prava na to djelo ili fonogram ili, čak i ako je utvrđen jedan ili više
nositelja prava, nijedan od njih nije pronađen unatoč pažljivojxxxiii potrazi za nositeljima prava koja je
provedena i evidentirana u skladu s člankom.“xxxiv
Karakteristike definicije iz Direktive 2012/28/EU su:
a)
Pojam „siročadi“ može da se pridruži kako autorskom djelu tako i fonogramu kao
predmetu srodnih prava, ali, upotrebnom izraza „djelo“ ili „work“ na Engleskom jeziku takođe na
druge predmete srodnih prava;
b)
Da bi izvjesna autorskopravno ili srodnopravno zaštićena intelektualna tvorevina
bila klasifikovana kao autorsko djelo siročadxxxv ne smije biti identifikovan ni jedan autor odnosno
koautor, te ne smije biti identifikovan ni jedan nosilac autorskog ili srodnih prava, a da bi bila
zadovoljena definicija kvalifikovane intelektualne tvorevine kao autorsko djelo siročad po prirodi
činjenice da se ne može identifikovati autor ili nosilac prava;
c)
Ukoliko se može identifikovati jedan autor ili nosilac prava, odnosno više istih,
kvalifikovana intelektualna tvorevine može biti autorsko djelo siročad, pod uslovom da se ne može
pronaći, u smislu uspostavljanja korespondirajućeg kontakta ili bilo kakvog drugog kontakta iz kog
može da se očekuje da će moći da se stekne pravno valjano odobrenje za upotrebu kvalifikovanog
autorskog djela, pod uslovom da se prethodno izvrši ono što se naziva pažljivom ili diligentnom
potragom za nositeljem prava, a gdje su karakteristike te diligentne potrage precizirane članom 3
Direktive 2012/28/EU.
Navedena definicija ispravlja nedostatke definicije iz (Commission of the European
Communities, 2008) kao i sličnih definicija. Ista unosi značajno više elemenata pravne izvjesnosti te
predstavlja dobru polazišnu tačku po pitanju materije autorskog djela siročadi. Ista nije bez vlastitih
problemaxxxvi.
Uzimajući u obzir činjenicu da ZAISP ne nudi alternativnu definiciju, kao ni to da smo u
literaturi koju smo koristili za pripremanje rada našli alternativnu, prihvatljiviju definiciju, smatramo da bi

�autorskopravna teorija Bosne i Hercegovine trebala podržati definiciju Direktive 2012/28/EU kao
prihvatljivu i dobru polazišnu tačku za buduća istraživanja ove materije.
Bitno je primjetiti da se mora praviti stroga razlika između autorskog djela siročadi i primjeraka
autorsklih djela koji su izašli iz štampe, odnosno povodom kojih postoje izvjesne poteškoće u postupku
sticanja prava vlasništva na primjerku autorskog djela u pitanju.
Primjerci autorskih djela koji su izašli iz štampe su takve vrste primjeraka autorskih djela gdje
inicijalni tiraž primjeraka autorsklih djela jeste ili distribuiran, odnosno gdje na tržištu se ne može steći
pravo vlasništva na novom ili (rijeđe) korištenom primjerku autorskog djela u razumnom roku od strane
lica koje je spremno da stekne pravo vlasništva na takvom primjerku te koje je spremno remunerirati
razumnom cijenom prethodnog vlasnika primjerka tog autorskog djela.
Autorska djela siročadi mogu, ali ne moraju biti primjerci autorskih djela izvan štampe. „Dok
mnoga autorska djela siročadi se mogu klasifikovati kao primjerci autorsklih djela izvan štampe, nisu sva
autorska djela čiji primjerci su izvan štampe autorska djela siročadi.“xxxvii
Autor, odnosno nosilac prava ima pravo da zahtjeva nadoknadu za zaštićene upotrebe njihovih
autorskih djela. Za razliku od patenta, gdje se može koristiti pravni mehanizam zakonske ili prisilne licence
u slučajevima nerazumnosti nosioca patenta, kod autorskih djela, u slučaju nerazumnosti, odnosno
nedostatka želje autora ili nosioca autorskog i srodnih prava da dozvoli zaštićeno korištenje kvalifikovane
intelektualne tvorevine, korisnik koji želi da koristi predmetnu zaštićenu intelektualnu tvorevinu na takav
način ima značajno manje pravnih instrumenata da prisli autora ili nosioca prava na takvo postupanje.
Mehanizmi za rješavanje problema autorskih djela siročadi se ne mogu koristiti u onim
slučajevima gdje je autor ili nosilac prava poznat, u kojima se može i vrši se komunikacija sa istim, ali kao
rezultat te komunikacije ne nastaje pravno relevantna dozvola za zakonski dozvoljeno korištenje zaštićenih
kvalifikovanih intelektualnih tvorevina.
David Vailexxxviii postavlja pitanje da li status objavljenosti treba da bude bitan za klasifikovanje
autorskog djela autorskim djelom siročadi. Uzimajući u obzir činjenicu da neobjavljena autorska djela su
jednako autorskopravno zaštićena kao i objavljena autorska djelaxxxix te da objavljivanje autorskog djela od
strane lica koje nije autor predstavlja povredu autorskog moralnog pravaxl, te potencijalno krivično djelo,
smatramo ipak da u slučaju da se stekne pristup autorskom djelu koje nije objavljeno a u kom slučaju ne
može da se identifikuje autor odnosno nakon diligentne potrage ne može da se stupi u kontakt sa autorom,
u to slučaju, iako znamo da je autorsko djelo u pitanju neobjavljeno autorsko djelo, takvo djelo moglo biti
podobno za klasifikaciju autorskim djelom siročadi, a što je podržano i odredbom člana 11 st. 2 xli ZAISPaxlii, te da bi se trebala dozvoliti upotreba takvog neobjavljenog autorskog djela, a korisniku koji koristi
takvo djelo bi trebao biti pružen imunitet od krivičnopravnih i građanskopravnih mehanizama za zaštitu
tog konkretnog subjektivnog autorskog moralnog prava.
Isti autor postavlja i pitanje da li kvalifikovane intelektualne tvorevine koje je napustioxliii autor se
imaju smatrati podobnim za stanje autorskog djela siročadixliv. Kao što smo naveli prethodno, u
pozitivnom autorskom pravu Bosne i Hercegovine, autorska moralna prava mogu da se prenose samo
univerzalnom sukcesijom. Ništave su ugovorne odredbe kojima se disponira moralnim autorskim
pravimaxlv. Autor ne možexlvi da prenese na drugo lice svoja moralna prava. To znači da za njegovog života

�autor ne može a da ne bude nosilac autorskim moralnih prava povodom dotičnog autorskog djela, a budući
da su ništave ugovorne odredbe kojima se disponira autorskim moralnim pravima, analogno se može
zaključiti da bi bile ništave i manifestacije pravno relevantne volje autora usmjerene na efektivno obećanje
da isti se neće koristiti autorskim moralnim pravima, a koje bi sačinjavale sadržaj bilo kakvog akta odricanja
od autorskog djela, kao takve. Korisnik nikada ne može da se pouzda u istinitost i volju autora kao pravni
osnov za slobodno korištenje autorskog djela u ovom pitanju. Budući da je nemoguće se istinski odrekne
autorskog djela, činjenica da li ili nije autor se odrekao autorskog djela nije relevantna za determinaicju istog
autorskim djelom siročem.
3. Obim problema postojanja autorskog djela siročadi
U izvještaju o pitanju autorskih djela siročadi i masovne digitalizacije, Copyright Ofice
Sjedinjenih Američkih Država je istakao da problem autorskih djela siročadi jeste „široko rasprostranjen i
značajan.“xlvii (Hansen D. R., 10.09.2013) ističu da je problem autorskih djela siročadi „veoma značajan u
veličini i obimu“xlviii.
Često se navodi činjenica da Britanska Biblioteka procjenjuje da 40% njene kolekcije
predstavljaju autorska djela siročadixlix.
Istraživanje Evropske komisije je zaključilo da „postoji veliki broj autorskih djela siročadi u
kolekcijama kulturalnih institucija“l država članica koje su bile analizirane.
Istraživanje je dalje pokazalo da postoje „visoki postotci autorskih djela siročadi za gotovo sve
kategorije djela, posebno među fotografijama i audiovizuelnim materijalima.“li
Konkretni primjeri zaključaka su:

„Konzervativna procjena broja autorskih djela siročadi knjiga kao postotak knjiga
povodom kojih još uvijek traje autorskopravna zaštita širom Evrope stavlja taj broj na nekih 3
miliona knjiga autorskih djela siročadi (što predstavlja 13% ukupnih knjiga povodom kojih još
uvijek traje autorskopravna zaštita). Što su starije knjige veći je postotak autorskih djela siročadi.“lii

„Kada procesuiraju zahtjeve za upotrebu starijih filmskih materijala, filmske
arhive širom Evrope su kategorizovale, nakon pretrage za nosiocima prava 129 000 filmskih djela
kao autorska djela siročadi, koji stoga nisu mogla biti korištena. Djela za koje se može pretpostaviti
da su siročad bez izvođenja stvarne potrage za nosioca prava dopunjava taj broj na približno 225
000 filmskih autorskih djelaliii.“liv

„Digitalizacijski projekt u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu je našao da 95% novinskh
članaka prije 1912 godine su autorska djela siročadi. Takođe, istraživanje među muzejima u
Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu je utvrdilo da nosioci prava 17 miliona fotografija (a što čini 90%
cjelokupnih kolekcija fotografija muzeja) nisu mogli biti pronađeni.“lv

„U kolekcijama Danske Nacionalne Biblioteke, otprilike 160 000 djela, stvorenih
od 1880-1930 godine imaju neizvjestan autorskopravni status.“lvi

nekih 91 milion kreativnih djela je ostao skrivenim izvan javnog pogleda, prvenstveno jer se nosioci prava
ne mogu identifikovatilviii.lix

Veličina problema postojanja autorskih djela siročadi se ogleda i u činjenici da u Evropskoj
unijilxii, Sjedinjenim Američkim Državamalxiii kao i u cijelom svijetu postoji jasan impetus da se digitalizuju
analogne zbirke i da se na taj način omogući kako veći nivo izvjesnosti i postojanosti sadržaja takvih
djelalxiv, tako i da se omogući širi pristup većem krugu korisnika i da se omogući pristup što širem obimu
intelektualnog stvaralaštva koji je baština društva i sustrat za subsekventne intelektualne tvorevine.
4. Mehanizmi za saniranje iteracija autorskih djela siročadi u Zakonu o autorskom i srodnim
pravima Bosne i Hercegovine
ZAISP ne sadrži odredbe koje uređuju odnose subjekata prava povodom autorskih djela siročadi
kao takvih, niti sadrži mehanizme za saniranje iteracija autorskih djela siročadi, kao takvih. Svakako nema
odredbi koje uređuju materiju pojma onako kao smo ga definiali u ovom radu.
Za razliku od drugih Direktiva EU koje je zakonodavac Bosne i Hercegovine odlučio, u većoj ili
manjoj mjeri transponirati u ZAISP, odredbe Direktive 2012/28/EU nisu transponirane u
Bosanskohercegovačko pozitivno autorsko pravo budući da je direktiva usvojena 2012. a ZAISP je usvojen
2010. godine.

(Sherwin, 2014)
Ibid.
lix Interesantna je činjenica iznesena u (Sherwin, 2014)da, na primjer, autorska djela koja su nastala od strane pacijenata u
ustanovama za brigu o mentalnom zdravlju su bila autorska djela siročad, budući da su njihovi stvaratelji, koji su ih stvarali za
potrebe liječenja zbog njihove terapeutske vrijednosti, a što sve nema nikakvog uticaja na njihovu autorskopravnu zaštitu koja je
identična zaštiti bilo kom drugom autorskom djelu, te koji kao takvi ili nisu stavljali znakove raspoznavanja, označavali su autorska
djela anonomnim ili su ih označavali pseudonimom.

�Od pravila pozitivnog autorskog prava BiH, relevantnim za pitanje problema autorskih djela
siročadi bi se potencijalno mogao okarakteristati član 11 ZAISP-a.
Član 11 ZAISP-a nosi naziv „nepoznati autor“. Odredbe ovog člana se odnose na slučajeve
anonimnog ili pseudonimnog djela, odnosno djela povodom kog autor nije poznat. Međutim, ove odredbe
se ne odnose na autorska djela siročadi.
Da bi smo objasnili zašto član 11 ZAISP-a nije relevantan za pitanje autorskih djela siročadi,
analizirati ćemo stav 1 i 2 ovog člana.
Član 11, stav 1 ZAISP-a glasi:
„(1) U slučaju anonimnog ili pseudonimnog djela, izdavač čije je ime naznačeno na djelu smatra
se zastupnikom autora dok se suprotno ne dokaže, i kao takav ovlašten je da vrši moralna i imovinska
prava autora. Ako izdavač nije naznačen na djelu, za ostvarivanje autorskog prava ovlašteno je lice koje je
objavilo djelo.“
Na prvi pogled se može činiti da ovim članom se eliminiše pravna nesigurnost prilikom svih
slučajeva u kojima anonimnost odnosno pseudonimnost kao manifestacija moralnog prava autora može da
predstavi prepreku za traženje pravne dozvole za korištenje predmetnog autorskog djela. Odredba člana 11
st. 1 doista uklanja tu neizvjesnost, međutim, bitna tačka jeste da kod djela koja su pokrivena članom 11 st.
1, autor možda nije poznat, ali jeste poznat nosilac izvjesnih imovinskih prava povodom tog autorskog
djela. Izdavač tog djela je nosilac izvjesnih prava povodom relevantnog primjerka autorskog djela na
osnovu pravnog posla kojim su prenešeni pravo izdavanjalxv na izdavača, te na osnovu odredbe člana 138
ZAISP-a kao sui generis srodno pravo izdavača. Dok je možda identitet autora nepoznat, u slučaju koji se
odnosi na član 11 st. 1 poznata je pravna ili fizička osoba koja je izdala, odnosno objavila djelo, te korisnik
koji želi da koristi autorsko djelo u pitanju uvijek može da kontaktira tu osobu, a da bi saznao identitet i
komunikacione podatke autora. Dakle, autorsko djelo, čak i prije primjene odredbi člana 11 st. 1 ZAISP-a
ne bi se moglo kvalifikovati kao autorsko djelo siročad jer je poznat jedan od nosilaca pravalxvi, te jer ne bi
bilo moguće izvšriti diligentnu pretragu budući da postoji efektivan način da se sazna identitet ili da se stupi
u kontakt sa autorom.
Izvjesno je da član 11 st. 1 uvodi veći stepen pravne sigurnosti u slučajeve u kojima autor nije
poznat ili je identitet autora, usljed bilo kojih razloga, ostao nepoznat ili teško utvrdiv javnosti. Međutim, ta
sigurnost je više usmjerena na stranu autora nego na korisnika, dok, argumentovano, pitanje autorskog
djela siročadi je prvenstveno pitanje prava korisnika i društvalxvii, odnosno olašavanja korisniku upotrebe
autorskih djela siročadi, te osiguravanja bujnog i što obimnijeg kulturološkog supstrata za cjelokupno
društvo.
Uprkos tom većem stepenu sigurnosti, koristi člana 11 st. 1 se ne odnose na uređenje pitanja i
uklanjanje pravne nesigurnosti povodom autorskog djela siročadi te kao takve se ne mogu smatrati
relevantnim za saniranje štetnih posljedica ovoga društveno nepoželjnog fenomena.
Član 11 st. 2 glasi: „(2) Autorsko pravo na neobjavljena djela čiji autor nije poznat ostvaruje
odgovarajuća organizacija autora.“
Kao što je bio slučaj i sa članom 11 st. 1, član 11 st. 2 takođe je usmjeren na zaštitu interesa
autora ili nosioca autorskog i srodnih prava izravno, a zaštitiu prava korisnika tek neizravno, kroz
uklanjanje pravne nesigurnosti. I član 11 st. 2 takođe determinira tko se ima smatrati nositeljem prava,
odnosno tko će biti ovlašten da vrši autorskopravna ovlaštenja te da daje dozvolu za korištenje predmetnog
autorskog prava ukoliko autor nije poznat. Član 11 st. 2 ne daje korisniku pravo da koristi predmetno
Koje se sastoji od prava reproduciranja i prava distribuiranja autorskog djela, a sukladno doredbi člana 85 st. 1 ZASIP-a.
Izdavač
lxvii Kao što ćemo imati priliku vidjeti, ovo nije apsolutno determinirano, budući da u pravnom instrumentariju odobravanja
upotrebe autorskih djela siročadi postoji mehanizam i značajan element zaštite autora, odnosno nosioca prava, ali naglasak nije
prvenstveno na zaštitu prava autora odnosno nosioca prava, kao što, argumentovano, to je slučaj sa članom 11 st. 1 ZAISP-a.

�autorsko djelo siročad na izvjestan način, već umjesto toga određuje da će izvjesna „odgovarajuća
organizacija autora“ biti ta koja će ostvarivati ovlaštenja autora povodom tog autorskog djela.
Neizvjesno je pitanje šta se podrazumjeva pod pojmom „odgovarajuća“ te šta je „organizacija
autora“. Vjerujemo da se odredba člana 11 st. 2 ima tumačiti na dva načina:
1.) da je zakonodavac htio da uspostavi sui generis udruženja autora koje bi ostvarivalo prava
povodom autorskih djela povodom kojih nije poznat autorlxviii, koje tumačenje ne držimo vjerovatnim, te, i
vjerovatnije,
2.) da je zakonodavac htio da odredi da će ovlaštenja povodom autorskih djela povodom kojih
autor nije poznat višiti organizacije za kolektivno ostvarivanje autorskog i srodnih prava.
Problem sa ovim tumačenjem se nalazi u činjenici da zakonodavac je mogao, i trebaolxix, da je
htiolxx, da naglasi da je riječ o kolektivnim organizacijama za vršenje autorskog i srodnih prava. Ovakav
pristup ima svojih prednosti, ali i značajnih nedostataka. Dok nam se čini logičnim da se povjeri, uslovno
rečenolxxi, staranje o autorskim djelima povodom kojih nisu pozati autori kolektivnim organizacijama za
ostvarivanje autorskog i srodnih prava, jer je razumno da se predpostavi da osoblje tih orgnaizacija je
kvalifikovano da razumije i da se najbolje stara o takvim autorskim djelima, na ovaj način se primorava
korisnika da, u slučaju različitih vrsta autorsklih djela kontaktira pojedine kolektivne organizacije za te vrste
autorskih djelalxxii, što predstavlja dodatnu prepreku za korištenje ovakvih autorskih djela, te potencijalno
izlaže korisnika i pravni sistem nedosljednom postupanju i nekonzistentnom pristupu starateljstvu
povodom te vrste autorskog djela od strane te konkretne kolektivne organizacijelxxiii.
Ni jedna konkretna odredba ZAISP-a se ne odnosi na pitanje uređenja upotrebe autorskog djela
siročadi. Uzimajući u obzir obim problema, tendenciju, usljed psotojanja istog povećanja pravne
nesigurnosti, te potrebe reguliranja ovog pitanja, predlažemo da Bosna i Hercegovina u izmjenama i
dopunama ZAISP-a obavezno uvrsti zakonski okvir saniranja iteracija i olaškavanja upotrebe autorskih
djela siročadi.
Jedan od mogućih pristupa rješenju takvog problema bi moglo biti transponiranje odredaba
Direktive 2012/28/EU, kojim bi se i pozitivno autorskopravno zakonodavstvo, povodom ovog pitanja
harmoniziralo sa acquis. Stoga je primjereno da se pogleda modalitet uređenja ovog pitanja u direktivi
2012/28/EU.
5. Direktiva 2012/28/EU o izvjesnim dozvoljenim upotrebama autorskih djela siročadi
Kao što je prethodno ukazano, Evropska komisija je u (Commission of the European
Communities, 2008) ukazala na problem autorskih djela siročadi.
Kao moguća rješenja na problem koji su potencijalno predstavljali autorska djela siročadi,
Evropska komisija je razmotrila sljedeće opcijelxxiv:
a)
Da ne poduzme nikakve korake;
b)
Da stvori sadržinsko ograničenje u korist korisnika povodom autorskih djela
siročadilxxv;
c)
Da omogući prošireno kolektivno digitalno licenciranjelxxvi
A koja se ne mogu smatrati autorskim djelima siročadi jer je zakonodavac odlučio da imenuje nositelja prava, što samim tim
znači da definicija koju smo ponudili ni u kom slučaju ne može da se primjenjuje na ta konkretna autorska djela.
lxix Budići da zakonodavac sam, u, na primjer u članu 66 ZAISP-a navodi više vrsta organizacija, te budući da se i kao subjekti
srodnih prava javlja na primjer, organizacija za radiodifuziju, te iz drugih, nomotehničkih razloga.
lxx Zakonodavac, pored organizacije za radiodifuziju, još spominje organizaicije jedino u članu 66 ZAISP-a, kada koristi izraz
„kolektivna organizacija“.
lxxi Ali, vjerujemo, apropo, uzimajući u obzir odredbe člana 11 st. 3 i 4 ZAISP-a
lxxii Vidi više Zakon o kolektivnom ostvarivanju autorskog i srodnih prava (Sl. glasnik BiH 63/10)

�d)
Da omogući posebnu licencu za digitalno prikazivanje autorskih djela siročadilxxvii;
e)
Da omogući centralnu državnu licencu za dogitalno prikazivanje autorskih djela
siročadilxxviii; te,
f)
Da omogući uzajamno prepoznavanje autorskih djela siročadi koje biblioteke
učine dostupnimlxxix.
Evropska komisija je odlučila da usvoji direktivu kojim će da dozvoli izvjesne dozvoljene
upotrebe autorskih djela siročadi. Ta direktiva predstavlja kombijaciju opcije b) i f) te izvjesnih drugih
opcija u manjem obimu i sa ograničenijom primjenom. Direktiva 2012/28/EU je usvojena 25.10.2012
godine.
Kao razlozi za usvajanje ove direktive navode se digitalizacioni poduhvati koje poduzimaju
javnosti dosupne bilioteke, obrazovne ustanove, muzeji, akrivi kao i druge društvene organizacijelxxx, te
„uspostavljanje pravnog okvira koji će olakšati digitalizaciju i širenje djela i druge građe zaštićene autorskim
pravomlxxxi“... autorskog djela siročadi, budući da je to „ključna aktivnost Digitalnog plana za Evropu“lxxxii.
Direktiva se sastoji od preambule sa 25 paragrafa, 12 članova i Priloga. Izvjesno je da Direktiva
2012/28/EU ne predstavlja cjelovito rješenje za pitanje korištenja autorskih djela siročadi od strane svih
vrsta korisnika, budući da se u članu 1 ističe da se odredbe predmetne Direktive odnose isključivo na:
a)
Javnosti dostupne biblioteke,
b)
Obrazovne institucije,
c)
Muzeje,
d)
Arhive,
e)
Institucije za filmsku audio baštinu, te
f)
Javne organizacije za radiodifuziju.
U istom članu je upotreba od strane samo ovih klasa lica dalje ograničena ciljem ispunjavanja
njihove zadaće zaštite odnosno služenja javnog interesalxxxiii.
samo:

Kao moguće vrste autorskih djela siročadi na koje se ova direktiva primjenjuje, prepoznati su

predmetom odredbi Direktive 2012/28/EU. Svrha rješenja problema autorskog djela siročadi koje se nudi
u predmetnoj direktivi je usmjereno prvenstveno na zadovoljenje interesa društva kroz omogućavanje
institucijama čije je djelovanje usmjereno služenju i zaštite interesa društva, te kroz identifikaciju i
klasifikaciju za primjenu predmetnih mehanizama samo izvjesnih vrsta autorskih djela. Brojne klase
korisnika su izostavljeni izvan dometa odredbi Driektive 2012/28/EU. Neki od njih su krajnji korisnik,
korisnik koji je istraživač te ustanove koje su posvećene isključivo istraživanju, a ne obrazovanju i korisnici
koji služe zadovoljenju svih drugih potreba koje nisu i ne mogu biti klasifikovane kao „javni interes“ ali i
sve druge vrste institucija koje služe javnom interesu, ali koje nisu poimenično navedene u Članu 1 st. 1
Direktive 2012/28/EU.
Razlog za ovako značajno ograničavanje dometa rješenja problema autorskih djela siročadi, koje
se ima naći u Direktivi 2012/28/EU jest, najvjerovatnije, izbjegavanje nekompatibilonosti sa Testom u tri
korakalxxxviii Sporazuma o trgovinskim aspektima intelektualnog vlasništva Svjetske trgovinske organizacije i
Internet sporazuma Svjetske organizacije za intelektualno vlasništvolxxxix. Bez obzira koji razlozi bili, obim
primjenjivosti za sveobuhvatno rješenje problema iteracija autorskih djela siročadi odredbi Direktive
2012/28/EU je značajno ograničen članom 1 iste.
Moguće je argumentovati da i korak inkluzije rješenja za ustanove koje su definisane Članom 1 st.
1 Direktive 2012/28/EU predstavlja optimalno rješenje kao prelazni ili međukorak dok se pokuša naći
obimnije i praktičnije rješenje, te da bi inkluzija većeg obima korisnika i većeg obima autorskih djela
otvorila potencijal za veći pravnu nesigurnost i inkompatibilnost sa Testom u tri koraka, te da je i postojeće
rješenje prihvatljivije od odsustva bilo kakvog rješenja.
Pored što precizira, u članu 2, definiciju autorskog djela siročadixc, u problematiku autorskog
djela siročadi , Direktiva 2012/28/EU uvodi koncept i zahtjev diligentne ili pažljive pretrage.
Stav 3 Direktive 2012/28/EU precizira šta se ima podrazumjevati pažljivom pretragom.
Diligentna ili pažljiva pretraga će neophodno da ima sljedeće elemente:
a)
Pretraga mora biti provedena u dobroj vjerixci;
b)
Pretraga mora biti provedena za svako pojedino autorsko djelo ili drugu zaštićenu
građu koje se želi koristiti a za koje postoje indicije da može biti autorsko djelo siročad;
c)
Pretraga mora da bude provedena kosultirajući izvore, a gdje je u stavu članu 3 st.
2 precizirano šta se imaju smatrati izvori koji su primjereni za diligentnu pretragu, a gdje svaka
država članica može da utvrdi spisak relevantnih izvora te i sama Direktiva 2012/28/EU u svom
prilogu navodi minimalne relevantne izvore koji se moraju da konslultuju da bi pretraga bila
diligentna ili pažljiva;
d)
Diligentna ili pažljiva pretraga mora da se izvede prije korištenja autorskog djela ili
druge zaštićene građe, i kao uslov za korištenje a nikako post hoc.
e)
Kvalifikovane organizacije moraju da vode evidenciju o izvršenim diligentnim ili
pažljivim pretragama, te da obavještavaju nadležna državna tijela o rezultatima tih pretraga.
Član 4 Direktive 2012/28/EU, koji glasi: „Djelo ili fonogram koji se, u skladu s člankom 2.,
smatra djelom siročetom u jednoj državi članici, smatra se djelom siročetom u svim državama članicama.
To se djelo ili fonogram može koristiti ili je dostupno u skladu s ovom Direktivom u svim državama
članicama. Isto vrijedi za djela i fonograme iz članka 2. stavka 2. što se tiče prava nositelja prava koji nisu

Potpuna analiza Testa u tri koraka kao i kompatibilnosti Direktive 2012/28/EU prevazilazi obim i ambicije ovog rada. Isto
pitanje bi predstavljalo opravdan istraživački poduhvat u budućnosti.

�utvrđeni ili pronađeni.“, predstavlja integraciju opcije f)xcii kao djelimične solucije za problem autorskog
djela siročadi.
Član 5 Direktive 2012/28/EU, koji glasi: „Države članice osiguravaju da nositelj prava na djelo
ili fonogram koje se smatra djelom siročetom u bilo kojem trenutku ima mogućnost okončati status djela
siročeta što se tiče vlastitih prava.“, predstavlja ustupak autoru odnosno nosiocu autorskog ili srodnih
prava povodom predmetnog autorskog djela siročadi, gdje se omogućuje istom da okonča status autorskog
djela sriočadi dotičnom autorskom djelu siročadi tako što će da negativno zadovolji jedan od elemenata
definicije autorskog djela siročadi, na bilo koji mogući način. Autor ili nosilac prava koji je prekinuo
dotičnom autorskog djelu status autorskog djela siročadi ima pravo, sukladno odredbama člana 6 st. 5
Direktive 2012/28/EU na primjerenu naknadu za korištenje autorskog djela koje je izvršeno dok je
dotično autorsko djelo bilo klasifikovano autorskim djelom siročadi.
Lice koje je kvalifikovano sukladno odredbama člana 1 st. 1 Direktive 2012/28/EU, povodom
intelektualne tvorevine koja je po članu 3 iste klasifikovana kao autorsko djelo siročad, a koje spada u
spisak djela na koja se Direktiva primjenjuje iz člana 1 st. 2 tačaka (a), (b) i (c), kao i druigh relevatnnih
odredbi, nakon što je izvršilo diligentnu ili pažljivu potragu za autorom ili nosioce autrorskog djela siročadi
iz člana 3 dotične Direktive, mogu, na osnovu člana 6 Direktive 2012/28/EU da djeluje na sljedeći način:
a)
Mogu da stave autorsko djelo siročadi na raspolaganje javnostixciii, xciv, xcv; te mogu
da
b)
Reproduciraju autorsko djleo, ukoliko se takvo reproduciranje vrši za zadovoljenje
porebe digitalizacije, stavljanja na raspolaganje, indeksiranja, katalogizacije, očuvanja ili
obnavljanjaxcvi.
Primjećujemo da je i po ptianju dozvoljenih upotreba kvalifikovanih djela, kvalifikvoanih
korisnika nakon kvalifikovan eprocedure, znatno suženo te da predstavlja dalje ograničenje korisniku i
prepreku za učinkovito korištenje autorskog djela siročadi, ali da efektivno omogućuje postupak
digitalizacije koji je i prominentno situiran u preambuli Direktive 2012/28/EU.
Efektivno, ono što je dozvoljeno kvalifikovanim korisnicima jeste da digitaliziraju analogne
primjerke autorskih djela, te da potom omoguće korisnicima da se upoznaju sa sadržajem tako
digitaliziranih autorskih djela siročadi.
6. Zaključak
Sa ekspancijom obima pojma autorskog djela, sve širom upotrebom sve većeg broja
autorskopravno zaštićenih intelektualnih tvorevina – autorskih djela, sa automatizmom zaštite i
nedostatkom obaveze od strane autora ili nosioca prava da se stara o predmetnom autorskom djelu,
Sama Direktiva bi se mogla klasifikovati kao solucija b).
Sukladno odredbi člana 6 st. 1 tačka a), a što je izveeno u smislu odredbe člana 3 Direktive 2001/29/EZ, poznate kao InfoSoc
Direktive
xciv Za Bosnu i Hercegovinu i u kontekstu autorskog i srodnih prava, pojam javnosti je definisan stavom 2 tačka 2 ZAISP-a, a koji
glasi: (2) Izrazi "javan" i "javnost", u smislu ovog Zakona, znače veći broj lica koja nisu međusobno povezana rodbinskom vezom
ili drugim ličnim vezama.
xcv Saopštavanje autorskog djela javnosti u BiH je isključivo, imovinsko pravo autora, a ova materija je uređena članom 24. ZAISPa, koji glasi: (Pravo saopćavanja javnosti)
Pravo saopćavanja javnosti je isključivo pravo da se djelo učini dostupnim javnosti u nematerijalnom obliku i obuhvata naročito:
a) pravo javnog izvođenja,
b) pravo javnog prenošenja,
c) pravo javnog prikazivanja,
d) pravo javnog saopćavanja s fonograma i videograma,
e) pravo radiodifuznog i kablovskog emitiranja,
f) pravo radiodifuznog i kablovskog reemitiranja,
g) pravo sekundarnog korištenja djela koje se radiodifuzno emitira,
h) pravo činjenja dostupnim javnosti.
xcvi Ovo pravno nije, po svom obimu jednako pravu reproduciranja iz člana 22 ZAISP-a, već predstavlja znatno suženej istog, a
koje je usmjereno iskazanim razlozima odnosno ciljevima iz preambule Direktive.

�neminovno je da će se javiti iteracije kada autori ili napuste, ili prestanu da se brinu o predmetnom
autorskom djelu, odnosno da iz bilo kog drugog razloga spona između autora ili nosioca prava i
predmetnog autorskog djela nestane te da to autorsko djelo postane autorsko djelo siroče.
Postojanje autorskih djela siročadi je društveno nepoželjan fenomen. Korisnik koji želi koristiti
to djelo je primoran da bira između dvije jednako nepovoljne opcije. Isti može ili da odluči da okuša sreću,
u vječnoj sjeni drakonskih sankcija, da povrijedi pravo drugog te da koristi autorsko djelo u nadi da
izgubljeni autor ili nosilac prava će ostati izgubljen. Odnosno, isti može da odluči da jednostavno ne koristi
autorsko djelo u pitanju, čime ta intelektualna tvorevina gubi svoj smisao i nipodaštava sami rezon
postojanja autorskopravne zaštite.
Problem postojanja iteracija autorskog djela siročadi je rasprostranjen i pervazivan. Uključuje sve
vrste autorskih djela, ali pogađa izvjesne vrste autorskih djela prominentnije od drugih vrsta. Te vrste su
uglavnom povodom djela koje imaju znjačajnu historijsku ako ne i ekonmsku sferu. Pravni poredak mora
da proizvede efektivne mjere za odobravanje upotrebe autorskih djela siročadi.
Pozitivno autorsko pravo Bosne i Hercegovine ne sadrži takve efektvine mjere. Evropska unija je
Direktivom 2012/28/EU proizvela instrumentarij za omogućavanje određenih upotreba autorskih djela
siročadi. Te mjere su značajno ograničene i podređene osiguravanju efektivno jedne svrhe – digitaliziranja
kolekcija institucija od značaja za javni interes. Direktiva 2012/28/EU ne predstavlja efektivno rješenje
problema iteracija autorskih djela siročadi. Ono je samo prvi korak.
Bosna i Hercegovina bi trebala transponirati odredbe Direktive 2012/28/EU, ne samo zato što
je to obaveza koju je BiH preuzela prema EU, i ne samo zato što će to biti jedan od uslova za pridruživanej
BiH EU, već i zato što rješenje koje se ima naći u Direktivi 2012/28/EU je dobra polazišna tačka na kojoj
teorija autorskog prava BiH može da gradi trajnije rješenje. Izvjesno je da je detaljnije istraživanje ovog
pitanja opravdano i poželjno.

STATUS AUTORSKIH DJELA „SIROČADI“ U AUTORSKOM I SRODNIM
PRAVIMA BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE I HARMONIZACIJA AUTORSKOG I
SRODNIH PRAVA BIH SA DIREKTIVOM 2012/28/EU O IZVJESNIM
DOPUŠTENIM UPOTREBAMA AUTORSKIH DJELA „SIROČADI“

Abstract
Orphan works are such types of intellectual creations for which it is certain that they are qualified for
copyright protection, regarding which it is equally certain that protection has not elapsed, however,
regarding which, either the author or the right holder cannot be identified, or are not otherwise known, or
if the author and/or the right holder is known, regarding whom, after what the article 2 paragraph 1 of the
Directive 2012/28/EU of the European Parliament and the Council, of 25th of October, 2012, on certain
permitted uses of orphan works, a „diligent“ search the author or right holder cannot be found to give
permission for use of those copyright protected works. The British Library estimates that up to 40% of its
collection consists of orphan works. For researchers, archivists or any other person wishing to use orphan
works, but who are unable to do so due to the fact that there is no one to give them permission for use,
the existence of this type of copyright protected works but not also of mechanisms for their legal use is an
unacceptable endangerment of legal certainty in the system of copyright and related rights protection, and
an unjustified extraction of a large percentage and number of intellectual creations from the cultural,
scientific, creative discourse of a society. The work begins by making a determination regarding the term
„orphan“ work and examines the influence existence of which has on the creative protection and overall
on a society. Positive rules in the Law on copyright and related rights (Official gazette of B&amp;H 63/10) that
can be applied to orphan works are analyzed. Further, the Directive 2012/28/EU is examined and in the
end conclusion is reached regarding how and in what extent Bosnia and Herzegovina should transponder
this directive into its existing positive system of protection of copyright and related rights, in the pursuit of
the general goal of removing these legal uncertainties regarding this kind of copyright protected works.

                <text>Autorska djela „siročadi“ su takve intelektualne tvorevine za koje je izvjesno da su kvalifikovane za autorskopravnu zaštitu po pozitivnim normama autorskog i srodnih prava, povodom kojih je, dalje, izvjesno da nije istekao vremenski period zaštite, ali, povodom kojih autor ili drugi nosilac autorskih imovinskih ili drugih prava nije poznat ili ne može da bude utvrđen, odnosno jeste poznat ili može biti utvrđen, ali gdje nakon onoga što član 2 st. 1 Direktive 2012/28/EU Evropskog parlamenta i Savjeta donešene 25. oktobra 2012. godine o izvjesnim dozvoljenim upotrebama autorskih djela „siročadi“ zove „diligentnom“ potragom autor ili nosilac prava ne može da se pronađe radi davanja odobrenja za zaštićenu upotrebu tog autorskog djela. Britanska Biblioteka procjenjuje da 40% njene kolekcije predstavljaju autorska djela „siročadi“. Za istraživače, arhiviste kao i bilo koja druga lica koja žele da koriste autorska djela „siročadi“ ali koja to ne mogu budući da ne mogu da ne mogu da nađu ovlašteno lice za davanje dozvole postojanje ovih vrsta autorskih djela ali nepostojanje mehanizma za njehovu legalnu upotrebu predstavlja neprihvatljivo ugrožavanje pravne sigurnosti u sitemu zaštite autorskog i srodnih prava, te neopravdano izuzimanje velikog postotka i broja intelektualnih tvorevina iz kulturološkog, naučnog i stvaralačkog diskursa društva. Rad počinje sa pojmovnim određenjem autorskog djela „siročadi“ te uticajem postojanja ovih vrsta autorskih djela na stvaralački potencijal i općenito na društvo. Analiziraju se pozitivnopravna pravila u Zakonu o autorskom i srodnim pravima (Sl. glasnik BiH 63/10) koja se mogu primjeniti na iteracije autorskih djela ove vrste. Izvršava se analiza direktive 2012/28/EU, te se na kraju donosi zaključak o tome kako i u kom obimu Bosna i Hercegovina bi trebala da transponira ovu direktivu u svoj pozitivnopravni sistem zaštite autorskog i srodnih prava, a sa ciljem uklanjanja pravno neželjenih dejstava koje njihovo postojanje uzrokuje.

Erzsebet Csereklye
Miskolc University/ Miskolc, Hungary
Key words: CLIL, intercultural education, limited language codes, less taught languages,migrant integration
ABSTRACT
The StepTogether program at the University of Miskolc develops a CLIL teaching tool d for migrant children
attending primary school in 3th–8th grades in Hungary, where migrant children are integrated in the public
education by their age, regardless their language competencies.
The aim of the developers was to offer a practical help for teachers to integrate children with limited Hungarian
language codes in traditional classroom activities. The StepTogether concept is helping children develop their
language skills while they are dealing with the same topics as their dominant language classmates in Mathematics,
Nature, Language and Literature classes. The structure of these teaching aids allows all teachers to contribute the
language development process of the children and helps to create an open, intercultural classroom climate.
The content-basis of the materials is in harmony with the Hungarian National Core Curriculum and Framework
Curricula, while their approach is language-driven, since it’s primary goal is to improve the L2 Hungarian
competencies of the immigrant children.
Based on our studies, conducted with 120 migrant students and their 32 teachers in five educational institutions (two
Englich-Hungarian bilingual schools, one monolingual Hungarian School and two minority schools, a Turkish and a
Chinese school) for 3 years, the StepTogether teaching tool proved to be higly supportive for L2 Hungarian
development, it offers an effective solution to the challenges arising from the diversity of L1 and L2 Hungarian
competences within the classroom and supports the social and cultural integration process of non-dominant language
students. It also helped to involve migrant parents in learning by integrating the culture of origin in the classroom
work. The presentation describes the main features of the project, the structure and instruments of the language
teaching tools and student and teacher feedbacks.

PART OF BRITISH LITERATURE AND CULTURE

Abstract: The concept of the ‘other’ is an inherent part of understanding one’s identity, since
people define their roles through their relations toward ‘others’. Generally speaking, the ‘other’
is everyone who is detached and different from one’s self or one’s true nature. ‘Otherness’
became the subject of research in postmodern British literature in terms of its diversity and
variety, divergence and disagreement with standard, conventional and established. To
demonstrate how prejudices are widespread and what their role in literature is, the selection of
British novels of the 20th century has been made with the emphasis on the second part of the
century and postmodern British novel. The analysis has proved that stereotypes are indeed
unavoidable part of British culture and literature and exposed their particular role in works of
literature. The second half of the twentieth century brings seismic shift of literary and national
identity: The English novel was replaced by novel written in English language due to importance
and to strength. This is the main reason for selection of the British novels of the late 20th century
that are representative both for their artistic quality and influence. The analysis of selected works
from modern and postmodern periods with the regard to stereotypes and prejudices about 'other'
undoubtedly pointed out that mentioned concepts are unavoidable part of British literature and
culture, and their numerous variations and roles in literature were clearly demonstrated.

Key words: ‘other’, stereotypes, prejudices, postmodern British novel, identity, diversity.

�1. INTRODUCTION: THE CONCEPT OF ‘OTHER’
The concept of the 'other' is one of the most important in the postcolonial theory. The
authors of ‘Post-Colonial Studies, The Key Concepts’ state that, in general terms, the ‘other’ is
anyone who is separate from one’s self. The existence of others is crucial in defining what is
‘normal’ and in locating one’s own place in the world. The colonized subject is characterized as
‘other’ through discourses such as primitivism and cannibalism, as a means of establishing the
binary separation of the colonizer and colonized and asserting the naturalness and primacy of the
colonizing culture and world view. (Ashcroft, Griffiths &amp; Tiffin, 2000)
The term 'other' is largely used in existential philosophy and in defining the relationship
between ourselves and others in the creation of self-awareness and the idea of identity. In the
Introduction of her most famous work The Second Sex (1949) French writer and the
representative of the French philosophy of the twentieth century Simone de Beauvoir writes
about women and the concept of ‘other’ and, in a special way, she reflects on the concept of the
other. The category of the Other is as primordial as consciousness itself. In the most primitive
societies, in the most ancient mythologies, one finds the expression of a duality – that of the Self
and the Other. This duality was not originally attached to the division of the sexes; it was not
dependent upon any empirical facts. The feminine element was at first no more involved in such
pairs as Uranus-Zeus, Sun-Moon, and Day-Night than it was in the contrast between Good and
Evil, lucky and unlucky auspices, right and left, God and Lucifer. Otherness is a fundamental
category of human thought. (Beauvoir, 1949, transl. and ed. H.M. Parshley, 1953)
In general, awareness of one's identity is always built on the basis of awareness of what
we are not, or, in other words, on the basis of awareness of others.
In this paper, 'other' will be viewed in terms of its diversity and variety, differences and
disagreements with the norm, normal and accepted. The term 'other' is taken from philosophy to
mark a change in the Western understanding of the relationship between consciousness and the
world that surrounds us. However, this term has changed the focus of the analysis and walked
away from this philosophical understanding of the 'other'. The concept of 'other' is now being
used in the political, cultural, linguistic and religious context. Whether viewed from the
standpoint of ideology, psychoanalysis or discourse it is impossible to create the subject without
observing its 'other'. The possibility of dialogue between the various racial and cultural groups
also became one of the important uses and meanings of this term.
2. STEREOTYPES AND PREJUDICE ABOUT ‘OTHER’
Although it is quite common in everyday use and in the scientific circles, the word
'stereotype' has an interesting origin. This word is used to denote a typographic element that was
used during the printing instead of the original. The American journalist Walter Lippmann
merged the metaphor and called the stereotype the image in our hands. Both 'cliché' and
'stereotype' originate from the world of press. So 'cliché' is the French word for the printing

�surface of the stereotype. In the English language the word 'stereotype' first appears in its modern
sense in 1850. as a noun and it has the meaning of a picture or a notion eternized without a single
change. (Brown, 1995)
Thus, in the original meaning the stereotype is the imprint of a fixed style in the printing
technique. By analogy, in the social sciences the term is used for schematic, simplistic and hardly
changeable attitude towards someone or something. The term originated in the period of
emerging and development of racial, ethnic, religious and social intolerance. In essence,
stereotyping is wrong and unjustified broad generalization. Therefore, each group stereotype
containing emotionally negative assessment of an ethnic, racial, religious or a social group is
interpreted as a prejudice.
Along with personal stereotypes, cultural norms and social stereotypes are precisely
defined in the middle of the last century (Bender &amp; Hastorf, 1950) as one of the most serious
prejudice in the perception of a person. This prejudice means that those who make judgments
have generalized expectations about how others are motivated, how they behave, think and so
on, and applied these norms or stereotypes, without exception, in assessing the others. Various
examples and studies have shown that social stereotypes as the embodiment of social norms are
among the most powerful determinants in the perception of a person. Going back to the problem
of setting the boundaries between personal and social stereotypes, it is easily noticeable that a
false strong link between 'self' and 'other' can appear if these entities are assessed and placed into
stereotypes based on cultural norms - that is, systematic variations in assessment of 'self' arising
from the same source, or norms, as well as systematic variations in the assessment of 'other'. In
this case it would be wrong to say that 'being' is projected onto the 'other', but, in fact, the same
cultural stereotypes are projected on both the 'being' and the 'other'.
In the recent decades, this concept begins to occupy a central place in the humanities, and
one of the results is that the concept of 'other' is being on the right track to replace the older,
somehow worn out, concept of stereotype. Its further use, without connecting to the 'other', does
not bring more of the same critical success and the same modern touch. Newer and more modern
concept is compatible with the stereotype and can be used to revive and expand its critical
applications. Michael Pickering in the chapter on the concept of 'other' is trying to bring the two
concepts in the analytical relationship, claiming that they complement each other and help each
other as the conceptual terms in the critical vocabulary. ‘The stereotype and the Other is used to
control the ambivalent and to create boundaries. Stereotypes are a way of dealing with the
instabilities arising from the division between self and non-self by preserving an illusion of
control and order. (Pickering, 2001)
3. POSTCOLONIAL CONCEPT OF ‘OTHER’ IN THE FIRST PART OF THE 20TH
CENTURY
One of the most important concepts in the entire postcolonial theory, the concept of the
'other', and its reflections in literature, are presented in three novels that represent England of the

�first half of the twentieth century in the best way. Heart of Darkness (1902) by Joseph Conrad,
A Passage to India (1924) by E.M. Forster and The Heart of the Matter (1948) by Graham
Greene serve as a nearly inexhaustible source of examples to show imperialism, colonial
relations, the dying empire, Britain's diversity and culture of the enslaved nations, creating
inevitable the 'other' and the stereotypes and prejudices that simply thrive in such historical and
social circumstances.
Heart of Darkness is interpreted and explained from the standpoint of imperialism and
racial prejudices, as well as from Conrad’s representation of Africa and Africans through the
narrator Marlowe as a demonic 'other'. Complex social relations between Englishmen and
Indians in A Passage to India have been discussed through the topic of friendship, innumerable
differences of the two cultures and the creation of the 'other' which was dealt by a large number
of post-colonial critics. Also, Green's Africa as ‘a place you've dreamed of’, ‘the blank
unexplored continent the shape of the human heart’ will not remain untainted by stereotypes and
prejudices of both the colonizers and the colonized.
What connect these three selected pieces are not only postcolonial themes and 'otherness',
but also the affection of their authors to the idea of adventure stories. None of the three authors
may not be, strictly speaking, considered a writer of travelogue and adventure novels, but the
political and social conditions of the time imposed the issues related to the rule of Empire and
the 'size of the nation'. The size of the nation involved the occupied territories, and in the minds
of the then politicians and citizens, the British colonies were equated with the British power and
wealth. The Empire meant open opportunities, even for writers. They felt that all these distant
lands invite the English to come with the promise that they would be rewarded for their English
courage and strength. But what is, perhaps, the most important thing, the Empire offered the
penmen broadening of horizons both at the moral and geographical level. The Empire meant
more personal power, more heroism, greatness available in these remote areas more than at
home, but, at the same time, it meant more cruelty, corruption and monstrosity, extraordinarily
shown in Conrad's Heart of Darkness. The cults of adventure and implicit imperialism have long
been an important part of English life and the centre of cultural habits. There was, for example,
the cult of geography, geographical maps and images of distant places, the cult of travel and
research, studies of primitive tribes, the cult of the ocean and the British Navy, British sailors, all
forms of swimming and sailing, rock climbing, amateur geology and botany, and all those
activities that are meant to be British, healthy and heroic, which are thought to contribute to the
cult of adventure and reinforce the myth of the great British Empire.
Joseph Conrad was, on the one hand, a hero and a favorite to the readers who were
thrilled by adventure novels, and, on the other hand, he was a hero of the opposite side. In his
early novels we can notice dreams of treasure, gold and diamonds, as well as the abundant use of
the motif of adventure reverie. He admitted that his favorite novels of childhood were
adventurous, then the biographies of the great explorers, as well as all kinds of geographical
texts. This youthful enthusiasm turned into a big disappointment, especially caused by his
journey to the Congo in 1890 where he was faced with the Belgian imperialism and this

�experience compelled him to write Heart of Darkness. The sharp decline of Conrad interest in
adventure ideas, from the boyish enthusiasm to the disappointment in mature age, Martin Green
explains with the political history of the empire in decline and with Conrad’s temperament since
he was inclined to such disappointments on the other grounds as well. Basically, he is often
represented and identified with the European conscience of the time. (Green, 1984)
While he created a true cult of the English adventurous heroism thanks to his willing
choice of England as a country, he even became the English sailor, he could not hide the
disappointment after the First World War. There was nothing that looked like an honorable and
courageous view of the war, and that, along with the Allies’ condemnation of colonialism at its
end, has created the need for the anti-imperialist literature.
However, Conrad had never become anti-imperialist writer. Heart of Darkness has clear
motifs of adventure stories and imperialist themes. It is necessary to emphasize that Conrad was
far from attacking the English imperialism in this novel. It is quite confidently praised in the
opening pages of the novel:
'The river Thames, we are told, had known and served all the men of whom the
nation is proud – from Sir Francis Drake to Sir John Franklin, knights all, titled and
untitled – the knights – errant of the sea. It had borne all the ships whose names are
like jewels flashing in the night of time (..) Hunters for gold or pursuers of fame, they
all had gone out on that stream, bearing the sword, and often the torch, messengers of
the might within the land, bearers of a spark from the sacred fire. What greatness had
not floated on the ebb of that river into the mystery of an unknown earth! The dreams
of men, the seed of commonwealths, the germs of empire.' (Conrad, 1994)
This is, doubtlessly, one of the most direct and overt glorification of the English history.
When Conrad's hero Marlow says ‘this was also one of the dark places of the Earth’ meaning is
clearly contrastive - even England used to be uncivilized - and undoubtedly he influences the
reader to think of the size which England meanwhile reached.
For the setting of his best novel A Passage to India (1924) E. M. Forster chose a country
where he was not born, where he did not spend a lot of time, and he had already been a famous
novelist who dealt with purely English issues before wrote anything about India. The general
topic of the novel is the inability of the Empire to understand and defeat India. At a basic level, it
is the story of the British Empire in which Forster ridicules the administrative class. He presents
them as people who are totally unable to understand or cooperate with their Indian colleagues
and subordinates. They are also, from Forster’s point of view, incapable to create any kind of
normal life for themselves in India - except a pale copy of the petty-bourgeois life in England.
Martin Green believes that Forster, on the next level, tries to include in the Empire the
remnants and traces of the failed Muslim empire and Muslim culture in India. This doubling of
the material even more highlights and reinforces the anti-imperialist thesis. (Green, 1984)

�One of the Englishmen that Forster describes in his novel is Mr. Turton. During the party
which aims to bring the Indians and the English together, he was really trying to make this
mission successful. He made pleasant comments, made some occasional joke, but he knew
something that would undermine the reputation of each guest and that is why he was very
superficial. Miss Derek represents a much more inferior kind of Anglo-Indians since she viewed
the whole peninsula as a comic opera. Turton is undoubtedly a more dignified and generous until the moment when an Indian is accused of the harassment an Englishwoman. Then behind
the ostensible heroism we can see him becoming blind and deaf.
‘I have had twenty five years experience of this country’- he paused, and 'twenty five
years' seemed to fill the waiting room with their staleness and ungenerosity - 'and
during those twenty five years I have never known anything but disaster result when
English people and Indians attempt to be socially intimate. Intercourse, yes.
Courtesy, by all means. Intimacy - never, never.’ (Forster, 1979)
It is obvious that Forster is pointing here to the weakness and starch which cast a shadow
on the reliable qualities of Anglo-Indians.
We come to the so-called Catholic novelist Graham Greene and his famous novel The
Heart of the Matter (1948). A number of elements typical of the works of Kipling, Conrad’s
motifs of adventure story, post-imperialist environment, as well as similarities with Agatha
Christie and her typical characters may be found in this work. The frequent use of the imperialist
criteria related to social status is quite surprising. Greene constantly ridicules Wilson and Harris
for the lack of strength and bravery, the failure typical of the ruling class. This is rather
uncommon since it is in direct opposition to the officially proclaimed 'Catholic' sensitivity.
Apart from the obvious (anti) imperialist themes and elements of adventure stories, these
three novels have another connecting feature – the same postcolonial feeling of insecurity in the
main characters. Thus, for example, Greene’s hero Scobie gets into a lot of suspicious activities
and decisions that lead him to a terrible dilemma, a moral crisis and the suicide at the end.
Readers cannot get rid of the feeling that the environment in the colony certainly contributes to it
- in the blend of the unspoiled natural beauty and the extreme lack of basic living conditions,
where, in Greene's words, ‘human nature hasn’t had time to disguise itself‘ and where ‘you could
love human beings nearly as God loved them, knowing the worst.’ (Greene, 1971)
4. POSTCOLONIAL WRITING: POSTMODERN BRITISH NOVEL
The second half of the twentieth century brings a monumental change of both literary and
national identity: English novel has been replaced by a novel written in English language due to
importance and to strength. Brian Shaffer (2006) in his study of the novels in English written
between 1950 and 2000 notes that what used to be situated on the margins of the canonical

�literature is now clearly in its very heart: the novel in the English language is now truly
international product with all Anglophone postcolonial writing, as well as with the works of
immigrants from former colonies and from all over the world that are read and critically assessed
as British. Equally important as English novelists of this period, non-English writers, with no
doubt, dictate literary parameters and attract huge attention.
In the post-colonial era the questions of identity and nationality have become complex
and difficult to determine. This is so apparent in the post-war Britain which copes with the
collapse of the Empire followed by the process of national redefinition, both in terms of the
international status and in terms of the population structure. Novel, and literature in general,
proved to be an excellent source for research of hybrid cultural forms that have emerged in
England which is constantly changing and becoming a truly multicultural. However, this is not
so simple story that celebrates Britain's diversity in cultural terms. The identities of immigrants
described in the post-war novels are often vulnerable, and their experiences in the new society
are painful. Dominic Head (2002) explains it by the transitional nature of the postcolonial
expression in the twentieth century. Postcolonial identity should be properly understood as a
process not as the arrival, while vulnerability may be explained by the hostile nature of the
British and especially English society, which is usually described as insensitive and often
ruthless to the goals of active multiculturalism. In such social and cultural circumstances,
stereotypes and prejudices about the other nations and cultures have become inevitable, and the
postcolonial concept of the 'other' has reflected itself in all known forms of the racial, class,
political and sexual diversities.
One of the first writers of the recent generation who openly called for a change of
monocultural definitions of the British national identity was Hanif Kureishi. With partly Asian
origin (Pakistani father, English mother), he could personally experience numerous prejudices
against Asians in the British society. His, nowadays iconic, call for the inevitable introduction of
'a new way to be British', became the main subject of many of his works, and among others the
main subject of his most famous novel, The Buddha of Suburbia (1990). It seems that no novel
of social conditions in England created so realistic, vivid and poignant picture of the changes that
took place on the island in the seventies and the eighties of the twentieth century. It clearly
presented the changes of the term 'Englishness' in the multicultural British society.
Two writers of East-Asian origin often associated with 'colored British' writing are
Timothy Mo, born in Hong Kong (under the English rule from 1841 to 1997) of Chinese father
and English mother and Kazuo Ishiguro, whose both parents are Japanese who emigrated to
England. Mo is certainly best known for his humorous novel Sour-sweet (1982) which deals with
the Chinese immigrants in London. The food is used as a metaphor for dislocation and
rootlessness as the inseparable parts of the emigrant experience, as well as for a shortcut to
cultural integration. Mo’s voice is one of the strongest among the writers who explore the impact
of colonial rule on the formation of the cultural identity of immigrants in the imperial
megalopolis. He shares the same interest with writers of his generation for the problems of
migration, dislocation and biculturalism. Mo skillfully depicts the portraits of immigrants who

�crossed the path from the colonial periphery to the center of the Empire, but also experienced all
the trauma of exile, culture shock and distress that accompany the adaptation to the new
environment. Through the story of adapting to a new culture in the novel Sour-sweet he shows
what it looks like when England is the 'other' in the eyes of Chinese immigrants. He also presents
the inevitable stereotypes and prejudices that undoubtedly color immigrants’ view of England
and its inhabitants.
Despite a strong commitment to traditionalism and insisting on cultural authenticity that
Mo illustrated by numerous examples of the rejection of change and cultural novelties typical for
Chinese immigrants in London, it is clear that assimilation is inevitable and that the only way of
survival for an individual, for a family, and the entire nation, is the acceptance of changes and
the adaptation.
The name of Kazuo Ishiguro is often mentioned in the same context of the 'new
internationalism' with Timothy Moo and writers of their generation. He is probably best known
for his third novel, Remains of the Day (1989). This work was awarded the Man Booker Prize
for Fiction in 1989. However, his recent novel When we were orphans (2000) is closer to the
international writing. The novel deals with the psychological trauma of the main characters who
moved to England from the war-affected Shanghai.
Ishiguro’s position of someone who was born in Japan but raised and educated in Britain,
gives him the possibility of having 'intriguing impartial or double perspective.' (Head, 2002)
Even in his early novels that have Japanese characters, he uses the material with the conventions
of Japanese courtesy. This preoccupation is developed in the novel Remains of the Day through
the style of his narrator - an aging butler Stevens, and there we can make a comparison between
the two types of restraint and diffidence. It is not irrelevant to note that the action of the novel
takes place in July 1956, during the Suez crisis, a catastrophic episode of British history that
marked the end of its imperial power. Although there is no clear connection between these events
and the story in the novel, the feeling of this important historical event hovers all the time.
The British writer of South African origin Christopher Hope fits into this group of
authors due to the subjects and to the freshness of the new landscapes brought to the
contemporary British fiction. Thanks to his South African origin, and to the topics and the views
he brought with him, Hope provides a new, different perspective and the critical and artistic
judgment about the major religious, political and cultural issues. In the literary circles he is
known as highly skilled creator of insightful satire and, therefore, often compared to Jonathan
Swift. Using sarcastic humorous observations Hope gives readers a true but disturbing picture of
the world that surrounds them.
In the novel Darkest England (1996) Christopher Hope applies a typical postmodern
technique when the readers’ expectations are completely betrayed because of the inversion and
degradation of the usual colonial discourse. The achieved aim is the abolition of the myths of socalled grand narratives and complete reversal of the known concepts and relationships, usually
with the help of parody. Using satire and irony, almost inevitable in his works, Hope completely
undermines the famous colonial image by sending an African researcher in the 'noble' mission to

�England. There is hardly any well-known stereotype of the 'other' that Hope does not use in this
work and shows how astute he is in observing and recording all the peculiarities, eccentricities
and the 'follies' of a nation.
In this funny inversion of the colonial discourse Englishmen become 'others' and all the
stereotypes about themselves and ‘others’ created by the representatives of the dominant
discourse are reviewed. Bushman David Mungo Booi explores the often narcissistic nation
which, although it lost the Empire, it has not lost the imperial arrogance and self-confidence.
5. CONCLUSION
The analysis of the selected works from the era of modernism and postmodernism with
the regard to the stereotypes and prejudices about the 'other' pointed out that the mentioned
concepts are unavoidable part of British literature and culture, and their numerous variations and
roles in literature were clearly demonstrated. In the wealth of literary material, especially in postmodern British novel since it occurs in a multicultural environment which provides an excellent
basis for stereotypes, particularly negative ones, we can recognize and unveil stereotypes and
prejudices about the 'other' that, even unconsciously and to a certain extent, every person in
every culture carries within him/herself. The results of this research will be useful for more
comprehensive overview of some of the most significant British novels of the twentieth century,
especially with the cultural context of their inception and later influence, but also for perception
and comprehension of the contemporary British society and culture as a whole.

                <text>The concept of the ‘other’ is an inherent part of understanding one’s identity, since people define their roles through their relations toward ‘others’. Generally speaking, the ‘other’ is everyone who is detached and different from one’s self or one’s true nature. ‘Otherness’ became the subject of research in postmodern British literature in terms of its diversity and variety, divergence and disagreement with standard, conventional and established. To demonstrate how prejudices are widespread and what their role in literature is, the selection of British novels of the 20th century has been made with the emphasis on the second part of the century and postmodern British novel. The analysis has proved that stereotypes are indeed unavoidable part of British culture and literature and exposed their particular role in works of literature. The second half of the twentieth century brings seismic shift of literary and national identity: The English novel was replaced by novel written in English language due to importance and to strength. This is the main reason for selection of the British novels of the late 20th century that are representative both for their artistic quality and influence. The analysis of selected works from modern and postmodern periods with the regard to stereotypes and prejudices about 'other' undoubtedly pointed out that mentioned concepts are unavoidable part of British literature and culture, and their numerous variations and roles in literature were clearly demonstrated.</text>

ABSTRACT
Learning styles are defined as the preferred techniques of operation of the brain when it faces the acquisition of new
information. Thanks to experiments conducted by psychologists and experts in language learning we can conclude
that each individual tends to acquire and manage information in different way. After a short presentation of
different learning styles, in this paper we will try to use the studies related to learning styles to
construct concrete proposals to be used when teaching Italian as foreign language.

„Tvrdnje revidenta koje se odnose na
stjecanja prava dosjelošću nisu osnovane.
Ovo iz razloga što su i prednik tuženika i
tuženik znali da sporna nekretnina
predstavlja zajedničku imovinu tužiteljice i
oca tuženika pa nisu bili savjesni posjednici.
Zbog navedenog nisu imali mogućnost
stjecanja prava vlasništva dosjelošću bez
obzira na vremensko trajanje posjeda
tuženika i njegovog pravnog prednika na
spornim nekretninama.” (VSRH, Rev2196/1991 od 23. decembra 1991.)

Posebno pitanje u pogledu funkcionisanja suvlasničkih zajednica, a koje se postavilo u praksi, jeste pitanje mogućnosti sticanja prava vlasništva dosjelošću jednog suvlasnika na suvlasničkom dijelu drugog suvlasnika.

Abstract
Economic efficiency and well being of one country is somehow connected with the efficiency
and effectiveness of stock exchange, so the main purpose of this study is to show and explain
workings of capital market in Bosnia and Herzegovina through activities of Sarajevo Stock
Exchange. The reason for this analysis is fact that the stock exchange performs important, if
not key, role in one nation’s economy since it provides investment opportunities by offering
buyers and seller’s places for trading securities, such as stocks and bonds. Such investment
opportunities are ways for corporations, governments, and business to obtain funds necessary
for expanding business or financing publicly good project.
Another reason for this analysis is the lack of awareness about importance of stock exchange
even if performance of stock exchanges affects everybody starting from individuals to large
corporations to governments.
Taking into consideration the fact that the stock exchange is an organized place for trading
goods, securities, financial derivatives…etc, whose daily volume is measured in billions of
dollars, it can be easily concluded that importance of it is huge.
This work is mentioning direct and indirect effects of stock exchange activity on an economy,
proving great impact on daily activity, not only of business, but of people as well.
This study also indicates that highly developed nations are closely related to the high level of
activity of stock exchanges and see stock exchange, as a component of capital market, a key
factor to success. Simply, stock exchange is as important as other public goods.
Less developed nations are not necessarily related to the poor performance of stock
exchanges; however, it could also be a main reason for those nations to be considered as a less
developed.
All in all, nothing can change the fact that stock exchange creates our destiny regarding our
future job orientation, since companies and corporations find stock exchange one of the
easiest ways to obtain money to finance their activities. Also, nothing can change the fact that
the whole global economy, including economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina is dependent on
those biggest stock exchanges around the world where the most important one is the New
York Stock Exchange.
This work is divided into three chapters. Section 1 deal with stock exchange and stock market
in general. When it comes to Section 2, it deals with stock exchanges in Bosnia and
Herzegovina, while Section 3 is actually conclusion part of this work.

1.INTRODUCTION
1.1 Historical review – stock market term
Stock exchanges have been existing for hundreds of years. Some of them are dating back to
year of 1100 such as stock exchange in Paris, stock exchange in Amsterdam...etc. So, as we
can see, the origin of stock exchanges is actually Western Europe. In the years of 1600 and
1700 other stock exchanges were opened including one in Belgium, Spain, Sweden and
Portugal. During that time, they did not have great impact on the people’s lives and economy
as a whole, mainly because there was only couple of them. So, the main purpose of stock
exchanges was trading of goods and currencies, but not in so high denominations. However,
in the year of 1785, the stock exchange in Amsterdam started doing trading with securities
and such way of trading was seen as a great innovation and opportunity to increase profit.
Founding this way of increasing profit was a reason for other European stock exchanges to
follow Amsterdam stock exchange regarding trading securities. It did not take much time for
stock markets worldwide (at that time, Canada and Australia stock markets) to start seeing
stock exchange as a one of the main ways to increase profit. Great importance of stock
exchanges led countries worldwide to open it up, so by 20th century stock markets in Asia,
Africa, and South America were opened.
When it comes to US stock exchange history, it can be traced back to over 200 years ago.
There were many reasons to start trading securities starting from personal needs, wants, as
well as willingness for profit increases to some more complex reasons such as financing war
by selling bonds.
The greatest and most important stock markets in the whole entire world, New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE) was found in 1817 playing key role in creating business and dictating
movement of whole business from year to year.
1.2 Definition, significance, and role of stock exchange:
By simple definition, stock exchange is an organized place for trading goods, bonds, shares,
financial derivatives…etc. Stock exchange also refers to the well-organized and wellregulated component of financial market where trading different types of securities such as
stocks and bonds, take place at price that is determined by the demand and supply forces. A
stock exchange or bourse can also be seen as a corporation providing opportunity and place to
its owners or financial market participants for increasing profit by trading company’s shares,
bonds, and other securities.
Besides this, stock exchanges also provide facilities for issue and redemption of securities and
other financial instruments, and capital events including the payment of income
and dividends. (Wikipedia, 2012)
Stock exchange certainly has many roles, but providing assistance when trading securities is
certainly among most important and most significant role of stock exchange. Not only
providing assistance is significant role of stock exchange, but also regulation, transparency
and control of buying and selling securities is role of stock exchange.
Many economists are opinion that the stock exchange perform important, if not key, role in
one nation’s economy since it provides investment opportunities by offering buyers and
210

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

sellers places for trading securities, such as stock and bonds. Such investment opportunities
are ways for corporations, governments, and businesses to obtain funds necessary for
expanding business or financing publicly good project.
Stock exchanges also have one simple but significant role: providing direct job for people.
Providing direct job is expressed through different institutions including different brokerage
firms, investment banks…etc. It is well known that financial news organizations employ
hundreds of thousands of people across globe.
1.3 The role of the stock exchange in economy
Taking into consideration the fact that the stock exchange is an organized place for trading
goods, securities, financial derivatives…etc, whose daily volume is measured in billions of
dollars, it can be easily concluded that importance of it is huge.
In high developed countries, stock market is as important as other public goods.
Metaphorically speaking, it is like highways since both are used as an intermediate between
people’s needs, wants and wishes. Highways are associated with transferring goods,
people…etc, while stock markets are used for transferring securities such as stocks, bonds,
futures, options…etc. (Dedovic, 1998, p.1)
Based on this, we can say that trading or investing in securities seems to be one of the most
interesting modes of investment. Economic efficiency and well being of one country is
somehow connected with the efficiency and effectiveness of stock exchange. Such close
relationship is the reason why governments, corporations, central banks, and even individuals
in the countries around the world closely watch every activity on stock exchange. “Black
Monday” proved that the bulk of economical growth that took place in 20th was mainly
dependent on the stock exchanges mainly because if stock exchange activity was high, then
there was money and room for improvement. On the other side, if prices of stock went down
and activity was low, then recession was unavoidable. Corporations, governments, and small
industries simply realized that by stock market investment there is possibility for easy gains of
capital necessary for financing activities and easy way for increasing their wealth. Not only
corporations and governments see opportunity for increasing profit, but also individuals see
stock market as a way for increases in personal wealth. Nothing can change the fact that many
of the wealthy people have gained or increased their wealth thanks to investment in stocks and
bonds.
Also, nothing can change the fact that the whole global economy is dependent on those
biggest stock markets around the world where the most important one is the New York Stock
Exchange.
As it is well known, the NYSE is a huge market determining the parameters of the global
economy. In principle, when the New York Stock Exchange goes down, the whole global
economy will suffer and it will have a domino effect which can affect every stock market in
the whole world. In fact, this is what happened in the global crisis in 2008; as when the
mortgage crisis jumped into the stock market, this precipitated into a full scale stock market
crisis which caused a major crisis all around the world. In no time, there was a huge economic
in the global economy, as all stock markets around the world were effected immensely.
(Bestgrowthstock-blog, 2009)
In most simply way to explain why the stock exchange is important to economy is that when
stock prices go down, companies, ranging from the strongest one to the smallest one, feel the
211

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

pain and vice versa. Economy is such science in which changes in one branch mostly leads to
changes in other branch. So, changes in stock prices will not affect only companies, but also
almost every individuals when most of them are not even aware of it. Mentioning this can
sound very pessimistic and negative regarding stock exchange in general. However, it also
shows the importance of stock exchange to economy since the stock exchange as a component
of stock market as the main dynamo of the economical forces, is a way for the real economy
to get strengthened.
Figure 1 - Importance and stock market development from 1950 – 2007

(Miskhin, Stanley, 2006, p.6)
As we can see from this figure, stock prices and stock market activities have been constantly
increasing from year to year. In last fifty year, there has been boosting of economy which is
mostly because increasing in stock market activities as well as prices.
However, people do not know much about that. In some sense it creates our destiny regarding
our future job orientation, since companies and corporations find stock exchange one of the
easiest ways to obtain money to finance their activities.
To make this more clear and convincible, let us assume a day when Wall Street marketers
announce that price of certain company’s share/stocks extremely went down by, say, 35%.
How would it affect companies and people? When it comes to people, fear of increases of
economic unemployment is the way to affect them. In many cases, loosing job means
increases in personal debt which further leads to insolvency or inability to repay all liabilities.
Further consequences are shown in loose of houses, discouragement, financial
dependence…etc.
On the other side, decrease in company share’s prices leads to financial dependence meaning
that companies facing that situation rely on money from bank. However, in order to obtain
funds from bank companies usually have to agree on repaying principal back with high
interest. Repaying principal back together with interest usually results in company’s less
profit which further leads to less innovation, less competition, economy of scale
decreases…etc. Besides that, borrowing funds from bank is heavily regulated.

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

As Frederic S. Miskhin and Stanley G. Eakins mentioned in their book Financial Markets and
Institutions (2006, p. 49), stock exchange is an important factor in business investment
decision because of shares affecting the amount of funds that can be raised by selling newly
issued stock to finance investment spending.
In simply words, this means that a higher price for firm's share leads to a larger amount of
collected funds, which can further be used to finance different business activities starting from
inventory changes to rebuilding new company's facilities.
Well functioning economies are closely related to the well functioning of stock exchange also
for other reasons:
Channeling funds from savers to borrowers - channeling those funds results in promoting
economic efficiency as well as effectiveness in a way that competition increases, more funds
are provided, unemployment decreases, more projects being implemented…etc.

More innovation – highly developed countries are associated with innovation because
people in those countries always want something new and sometimes have relatively
unrealistic wishes and demands.
Wealth of people is going up since they have job. This further leads to increases in
their spending and result in profit increases of firms.
Governments also benefit from this since people spend more, firms earn more, and
more taxes are collected.
Professor Mihailo Dedovic said in his book, “Stock Exchange” (page 2) that stock
exchanges is not only important because huge amount of capital being involved.

Far from being the case, it is mostly important because it is actually place where prices of
goods, services, capitals as well as money are determined.
What does this mean for us? In order to better understand consequences of stock exchange
activities regarding price determination, let us take a look on the picture below:

213

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

Figure 3 – consequences of stock prices going down
NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE
Prices of corn are going up

NATIONAL ECONOMIES
Cash outflow is increased due to price increases

PEOPLE
People pay more money on corn products. It further leads to more money being saved since people can’t
afford to buy luxury goods. Final consequence is national economic activities are decreased.

Taking close look at this picture, we can notice that a New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
activity determines not only activities of national economies, but also activities of people
being part of those economies. It is unwritten rule that when people have to pay necessities a
bit expensive than they used to, in order to keep their cash at balance, they will turn to
spending less money. This will further lead to less money on market and economic activities
will decrease.
Stock exchange helps company to raise fund which are necessary to expand its business. How
is that work? Let us take simple example.
Imagine yourself as an owner of small manufacturing company for producing furniture. You
have some amount of money which you use to buy a machine for production, found couple
customers, and you just started doing the business. So far, the business is doing well, profit is
increasing, you are winning new customers and soon you face situation in which you simply
can’t satisfy all customers’ needs and wants. Now you are facing the dilemma of whether to
increase the business and profit, but require you to spend certain amount of money or you can
just let your competitors take potential customers away from you, but you are letting
competition to increase and putting yourself in risky situation regarding your future business
and profit as well. In order to increase the business you have to buy new machines which
costs, say, $100,000. Now, you can wait for some period to earn more money to buy that
particular machine, but you are certainly going to lose many customers simply because they
can’t wait for you to make product. So, they will switch the company. You can also borrow
money from bank, but it is heavily regulated and soon you get money you will have to start
returning more money back than you borrowed because interest is included. Finally, you can
issue share which is third and most reasonable option to do. So, if I you do that, meaning if
you sell part of your company to third person, you will not be a 100% owner, but you will
have money necessary for financing your activity. In fact, third person is actually investor
having claims on company’s future earnings. At first sight it seems that you earn less amount
of money. Far from being the case, your business is increased and you earn more money.
So, all in all, whenever a company decides to expand business or strengthen its capital, it has
two main ways to obtain funds: either taking a loan from bank or issuing shares through the
stock market. However, the stock market is the primary source for company to raise funds
whenever it needs it.

There is saying that stock exchanges have predicted 3 out of last 10 recessions.

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

One simple thing that can warn us that particular event can take place is lack of responsibility
regarding trading securities. This simply means that if, say, New York Stock Exchanges
(NYSE) does not run the business in a way it is supposed to or fully carry out its duty
regarding overseeing the stock trading process the investors will simply lose faith in the
transparency, fairness and safety of the New York Stock Exchange. If this happens then all of
the economic activity that the stock exchanges create will decrease and this will lead to an
overall drop in economic activity. The stock exchanges must be sure that investors are not
taken advantage of and that investors continue to have confidence in the system the stock
exchanges created.
-

It is mentioned previously that the stock exchange is closely related to the economy of
country in a way when stock prices go down; all participants in the economy, starting
from individuals to large corporations are affected. This is mainly because the
economy is such science in which changes in one branch affect and leads to changes in
other branch of the economy.

Figure 4 – domino effect

(Dreamstock, 2011)
The above picture explains effects of stock prices going down. As it is said, not only large
corporations and small business are affected, but also almost every individual even if many of
them are not aware of it. This is simply because of stock exchange, being one of the main
factors in the economy as well as acting as dynamo forcing changes in economy together with
well-full functioning stock market will help increase the strength of the reel economy.
All in all, the stock exchange is one of the most important sources for companies,
governments, small investors...etc, to gain money to expand business or finance their
activities. The stock exchange activity is actually our destiny creator in the sense that small
changes can cause positive or negative domino effect of worldwide business affecting directly
us as individuals. Watching news about changes in share prices during whole day, seven days
a week, it is just worth considering that stock exchange being part of our life.
People’s awareness, especially of those holding shares, about stock exchange activities should
be increased because the first impact they will see is fall or increase in their wealth. This can
also cause domino effect since fall in wealth leads to people being more hesitate to spend
money. Further effect is fall in consumer spending and list goes on.

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

Taking into consideration everything mentioned, it is worth to say that nothing can change the
fact that well functioning stock exchange is a way to create new jobs and way to create
funding for companies from the biggest to those with small capacity. It is also fact that
without a proper functioning of stock exchange, it is not possible to have a healthy economy.
Simply saying, stock exchange is one of the key factors in producing high economic growth.
2. STOCK EXCHANGE IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
When it comes to stock exchange of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the most important one
is Sarajevo Stock Exchange (SASE), daily volume is measured in millions of dollars.
Likewise abroad, the company’s easiest way to obtain funds for financing its activities is
through issuing stock on the stock exchange. However, not all companies can participate on
the BH stock exchanges. In order to trade securities either on SASE or BLSE, the particular
company must be listed there. Sarajevo Stock Exchange (SASE) and Banja Luka Stock
Exchange (BLSE) set up certain requirements that company must fulfill in order to participate
on the stock exchange including: minimum amount of capital, minimum amount of size of
shares, minimum number of class holders, which is 150…etc.
As it is said previously, the way of trading of securities is being done on two stock exchanges
located in Sarajevo (SASE) and Banja Luka (BLSE). Both, SASE and BLSE aim to provide
quality and transparency as well as fair trading environment for their market participants
which include both domestic and foreign participants.
Over here in Bosnia and Herzegovina, business is done electronically meaning that brokers
are sitting at their offices and do the business through technology. So, we can’t see people
over here running around screaming and yelling like we see on American movies which
actually show real picture of American stock market’s working environment.
Stock exchanges in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with annual turnover measured in hundred
million of dollars, has been recording improvement in the way of working as well as profit
increasing from year to year. The performances of SASE and BLSE exploded especially in
last couple years. Such improvement and profit increases lead to capital market strengthening
which has also been recording improvement and people awareness from year to year.
Since 2002, market capitalization has risen by around twenty times and at the end of 2005 it
was EUR 3.3bn (Wiener Börse: EUR 107.1bn). The average daily trading volumes have also
soared in the past few years and hit EUR 1.5mn by 2005 (Wiener Börse: EUR 342mn). The
leading index of the Sarajevo Stock Exchange, the BIFX, rose from 1,264.20 at the end of
2002 to 4,045.57 points at the end of 2005. (SASE, 2011)
2.1 Criteria for Admission to the Admission to the Sock Exchange Listing
Stock exchange is not like ordinary market where everybody can enter in, do the business, and
walk away. Far from being the case, there are certain regulations and rules that particular
company must implement before participating in stock market. A particular company must
first be adjusted and registered by SEC (Security Exchange Commission) and even when it is
adjusted process is not done yet because the particular company must do two other
regulations: informing stock exchange about all circumstances affecting its business and
providing stock exchange with annual and semi-annual financial statement.

2.2 Institutional framework of Sarajevo Stock Exchange
Well-functioning institutional framework in Bosnia and Herzegovina is necessary for
transparency. On the other side, transparency and fairness are closely related to attracting of
new investors while investors are considered to be most important players in a game called
capital market. Institutional framework can be divided into several segments:

217

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

2.2.1 Security exchange commission
Security exchange commission is body established for the implementation of different tasks
which is mandatory for fair and transparent trading on Sarajevo Stock Exchange. Without this
body, it would not be possible to regulate and promote secure capital market in Bosnia and
Herzegovina. Another reason for the existing of security exchange commission is protection
of investors. Once we have body that works on behalf of investors in a way that protects their
rights, it is easy to attract new investors because they feel secure. Security Exchange
Commission aims to promote capital market of Bosnia and Herzegovina to foreign investors
and they found that building trust in the efficiency, effectiveness and fairness of the capital
market is key to succeed in it.
General overview of responsibilities of Security Commission of Federation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina (KOMVP,2011)
The Securities Commission of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina has a broad
regulatory authority. Its responsibilities, among other, include the following:
 Regulation of conditions and methods of securities issuances and trading;
 Approval of issuances of shares and other securities by companies and banks;
 Approval of securities issuances bz fund management companies, investment funds,
mutual funds, and other legal persons that issue securities;
 Regulation of conditions and methods of bond issuance bz cantons and
municipalities;
 Prescribing the rules and control of securities trading based on securities exchange
and system of listing, using electronic means;
 Protection of investors' rights;
 Prescribing and enforcement of standards of disclosure to investors and the general
public on business operations of securities trading participants;
 Prescribing of conditions, issuing approvals of operations, and control of professional
intermediaries (e.g. brokers and dealers), and other securities trading participants.
2.2.2 Registry of Securities – in most simple way to explain Registry of Security is place
where data on securities are being held. Article 2 of the law defines that the Registry of
Securities performs operation of registration, safekeeping and maintenance of data on
securities, operation of transfers in accordance with the law regulating the issuance and
trading of securities. However, it is not only duty and operation preformed by the Registry of
Security. Far from being the case, it may also perform other operations including clearing and
settlement as well as all other operations that are related to clearing and settlement, but which
are firstly approved by Security Commission.
The Registry performs the following operations for securities issuers:





- registration, safekeeping, keeping and maintaining data on securities;
- making the list of shareholders and list of securities holders with the balance as of
the day requested by the issuer;
- making other reports as requested by the issuer;
- services in case of changes in property status and in case of changes in securities due
to conversion, securities denomination, merger and division of issuer's shares;

special contract.
The Registry performs the following operations for the securities holders:
- keeping the balance of securities on securities holders' accounts;
- transfer of securities based on applications for transfer of securities, submitted
directly to the Registry by the security holder;
- issuing certificates – statements and confirmations on balance of the securities
account;

As we can see on the picture above, registration of data of securities is a process consisted of
couple steps. First step is approving of security by security exchange commission. After it is
approved, it goes to the registry as a central place where securities are being held. In the
registry, two accounts are must be opened; account of issuer and account of investor. Such
accounts serve the purpose of providing certificate that shows the balance of the security

account at the end of the month. However, not all accounts are included, but only accounts in
which a change on the balance of the account took place.
2.2.3 Professional intermediates – brokerage firms
A brokerage firm or brokerage house refers to company which is allowed or licensed to buy
and sell securities. A brokerage firms are basically connection between buyers and sellers.
A brokerage firm is a financial institution that facilitates the buying and selling of financial
derivatives between a buyer and a seller.
Brokerage firms serve a clientele of investors who trade public stocks and other securities.
(Wikipedia, 2011)
Figure 6 – brokerage intermediation

Buyer

Being a connection or an intermediary between buyers and sellers, brokers as employers of
brokerage houses make, simply saying, clients’ wishes come true. In other words, it is brokers
who carry out client’s needs and wants when they decide to do trading on the stock
exchanges. So, brokers do trade but usually not on their own account and they are usually
paid on a commission basis.

2.2.4 Investment funds
Investment fund is actually firm that invests money which is collected from different
investors. Having money of many, small investors, investment fund invest it into in securities,
bonds…etc. By this, an investment company gives an opportunity to small investors to invest
their money in different securities. This becomes more important if we take into consideration
the fact that those investors would probably never have such an opportunity. Another benefit
of investing in investment funds is that small investors do not worry about trading costs which
can sometimes be high. It is investment fund, not small investors that can gain economies of
scale in while doing trading. There are two worldwide known investment companies:
open-end which includes mutual fund,
closed-end that includes investment trust

2.2.5 Depositary banks
Over here in Bosnia and Herzegovina, depositary banks are actually commercial banks that
are allowed to do everything related to depositary job. Every brokerage house has its own
depositary bank which is used to make payments. In order to be allowed to perform
depositary job, a particular bank must be approved by Security Exchange Commission.
Depositary bank offers the following services:
-

-

Takes care of the fund property by keeping special accounts for property of each fund
and separating property of each fund from property of other funds
In case of mutual fund, repurchases and pays for shares, and makes payments to the
owners of share of mutual fund from fund profit
Takes care of the fact that calculation of net value of some stock or share in the fund
was made in accordance with the Law, other regulations, prospect and Statute of the
Fund
Reports the Company on corporative affairs referring to the fund property, which it is
taking care of, and executes the orders resulting from these affairs
Pays all incomes and other rights due for the fund benefit, which are resulting from its
property
Keeps business operations records performed as the bank depositor for each fund and
harmonizes it with Company’s records regularly
Provides auditors and other persons authorized for auditing, including the
Commission, with access to data and accounts related to the fund and its property
(BIB, 2011)

2.3 Comparison of SASE, in terms of annual turnover, with regional stock exchanges in
last two years.
Before comparing turnover of SASE with regional stock exchanges, we should first see
turnover of SASE from 2004 to 2010.
As the table below (Table 4) indicates, starting from 2004, activity on SASE, in terms of
money earned, had been constantly increasing till 2007 when the annual turnover was
1.274.340.116 KM. In 2008, in a year when recession started, activity on SASE dramatically
decreased by more than five hundred million of KM. Fall in activity was continued in the
following years and in 2010, annual turnover was the worst in SASE history with the amount
of 108.55.379 KM.
Based on this information we can divide turnover of SASE into two parts: prerecession
turnover and post recession turnover. It is noticeable that before recession there were constant
increases in turnover. However, when recession started, there have been constant decreases in
turnover.

The table below (Table 5) shows the comparison of Sarajevo Stock Exchange turnover for the
years of 2011 and 2010 with regional stock exchanges such as; Zagreb Stock Exchange,
Belgrade Stock Exchange and Ljubljana Stock Exchange. As it is noticeable, the Zagreb
Stock Exchange had the highest turnover followed by Belgrade Stock Exchange whose
turnover in last two years was over 400 million of euro. Capital market of Bosnia and
Herzegovina is less developed than those of Serbia and Croatia, which means that annual
turnover of SASE, is lesser with turnover around 100 million of euro in last two years. The
last one Ljubljana Stock Exchange with turnover less than 100 million of euro in last two
years. However, it does not mean that capital market in Slovenia is undeveloped. Far from
being the case, it is among most developed in Balkan region, but it is obvious that recession
took place in this country.

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

As it is mentioned previously, the Zagreb Stock Exchange had the highest turnover in last two
years. Based on this information, it is noticeable that Croatia has highly developed capital
market, especially in last two years. According to this fact capital market in Bosnia and
Herzegovina is far from level at which capital market of Croatia is in terms of development.
Since, capital market over here is less developed; SASE should follow some strategies used
by Zagreb Stock Exchange.
3. CONCLUSION
Even if the facts, graphs, and tables shown in this work are promising, the general picture of
capital market in Bosnia and Herzegovina is still relatively unfavorable. The development of
BH capital market is related to the development of primary and secondary market. It means,
when primary and secondary markets are involved in high activity, the capital market is
strengthening. If we make comparison of capital market of Bosnia and Herzegovina with
those of developed countries, it is still underdeveloped and most of all, it is still seen as
relatively unimportant to the development of domestic country’s economy. One of the main
reasons for being less developed is corruption. This further means that there is legal
uncertainty which prevents investors to invest.
It is also important to realize that economic development of Bosnia and Herzegovina must
rely more on financial institutions as well as capital market. This means that the close
relationship between economic development and financial institutions must be established. So
far, stock exchange together with the banking industry is seen as a key factor in producing
high level of activity on capital market and economic growth as well. However, it is still far
from desired level of liquid financial market which is another problem of capital market of
Bosnia and Herzegovina being undeveloped.
Professor Mehmed Ganic is mentioning, in his work about current problems of capital market
(page 14) five reasons related to a possible recovery in the capital markets of B&amp;H which
must be taken into account.
First, the process of ownership concentration is largely complete, so the new owners
have lost an interest and incentive to appear in the capital market. It underestimates the shares
and leads to the discharge of the market. Consequently, this makes it unlikely to stimulate
interest both domestic and foreign investors;

223

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

Second, the benefits of financial markets resulting from the significant effects of
established organizational networks, as well as development and trading securities guided,
above all, the unit fixed costs. If the market is less liquid, then the trading costs are high. This
ultimately reduces the benefits of capital markets, discourage investors, in other words, a lack
of demand. In addition, B&amp;H has not yet fully adopted the culture of financing by issuing of
new shares which means that companies regularly resort to capital markets for the raising of
fresh capital.
Third, that the performance of capital markets is still under the influence of bad
political and economic environment of instability and poor social status of most citizens.
Fourth, there is a weak mobility of the issuers and limited of trading in securities of
the local companies, which resulted in the competitiveness of capital markets because of such
restrictions at a very low level.
Fifth, the capital market of B&amp;H is limited due to the slow and incomplete process of
privatization, following its further growth.
Another reason for capital market of Bosnia and Hezegovina being unfavorable and
underdeveloped is because of lack of foreign investors. Foreign direct investment plays an
important role in development of capital market in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so capital market
should be attractive in order to make foreigners invest their capital in Bosnia and
Herzegovina. However, capital market of Bosnia and Herzegovina is undeveloped, and it
means that investors do not want to take risk and invest. They usually turn to developed
financial markets which is key to encouraging them to take a risk and invest.
Capital marek of highly developed countries is characterised by various short-term financial
instruments. However, it is not case in Bosnia and Herzegovina.The overall financial market
should encourage all, starting from companies to financial institutions to governments to start
issuing short-term financial instruments.
By this time, banking industry and stock exchange are key for producing high level of activity
on capital marekt in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is them which contribute to developing of
economy of B&amp;H.
All in all, capital market and stock exchanges as a segment of capital market play key role in
our daily lives and we should start seeing this of great importance. Being key of producing
high economic growh, government should attract investors by providing securtiy and
transparency while companies should be offering more diversified financial instruments in
order to attract customers.
Once again, nothing can change the fact that stock exchange plays key role in our daily lives
and it is stock exchanges that in some sense create our destiny.

Abstract
Accounting is the process of recording, classifying, summarizing and reporting results from
financial transactions in the form of financial statements. Other than accounting, auditing the
financial statements determines whether those statements are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting standards. You could say that this kind of audit users of
financial statements provides objective and independent opinion on the truthfulness and
honesty of the data presented in financial statements of business entities that are clients. The
application of the system of internal control in the implementation of the audit process is very
important activity in the process of making business decisions to allocate economic resources
and successful management. Information obtained from the analysis answer the question as
business entity in the previous period and how to function in the next period to be maintained
better result. The main goal of any business entity is achieving greater profits. The profit
maximization is striving to achieve the possible cost less and also the achievement of greater
revenues. Profit shown in the financial statements may differ from reality depending on the
way you handled the financial statements or in other words the way reports display where
they can be concealed large gains and losses. From there the auditors are those who weigh the
reality of participants' data in financial reports. How the financial result is a real set, so will be
better
and
better
decisions
are
made
based
on
such
information.
The advantages of better financial reporting are significant, hence the actions needed to
achieve those benefits are complex and comprehensive. As such we list the following
activities: improving the framework of financial reporting; strengthening of key factors
within the financial reporting; supporting the audit profession; supporting education, training
and public awareness. The main and primary objective of financial reporting is to provide
access balanced between financial reporting and audit requirements, which means meeting the
needs of different users of financial information but also will be complex to burden the
functioning
of
the
corporate
sector.
In practice, here are three main reasons to perform the process of analyzing financial
statements and financial indicators achieved:
1. The need for continuous monitoring of their own situation analyzes achieved financial
indicators, financial instruments are planned and implemented financial control;

                <text>Economic efficiency and well being of one country is somehow connected with the efficiency  and effectiveness of stock exchange, so the main purpose of this study is to show and explain  workings of capital market in Bosnia and Herzegovina through activities of Sarajevo Stock  Exchange. The reason for this analysis is fact that the stock exchange performs important, if  not key, role in one nation’s economy since it provides investment opportunities by offering  buyers and seller’s places for trading securities, such as stocks and bonds. Such investment  opportunities are ways for corporations, governments, and business to obtain funds necessary  for expanding business or financing publicly good project.  Another reason for this analysis is the lack of awareness about importance of stock exchange  even if performance of stock exchanges affects everybody starting from individuals to large  corporations to governments.  Taking into consideration the fact that the stock exchange is an organized place for trading  goods, securities, financial derivatives…etc, whose daily volume is measured in billions of  dollars, it can be easily concluded that importance of it is huge.  This work is mentioning direct and indirect effects of stock exchange activity on an economy,  proving great impact on daily activity, not only of business, but of people as well.  This study also indicates that highly developed nations are closely related to the high level of  activity of stock exchanges and see stock exchange, as a component of capital market, a key  factor to success. Simply, stock exchange is as important as other public goods.  Less developed nations are not necessarily related to the poor performance of stock  exchanges; however, it could also be a main reason for those nations to be considered as a less  developed.  All in all, nothing can change the fact that stock exchange creates our destiny regarding our  future job orientation, since companies and corporations find stock exchange one of the  easiest ways to obtain money to finance their activities. Also, nothing can change the fact that  the whole global economy, including economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina is dependent on  those biggest stock exchanges around the world where the most important one is the New  York Stock Exchange.  This work is divided into three chapters. Section 1 deal with stock exchange and stock market  in general. When it comes to Section 2, it deals with stock exchanges in Bosnia and  Herzegovina, while Section 3 is actually conclusion part of this work.Keywords: stock exchange, capital market, security, stock, bond</text>

Abstract
One of the highly challenging businesses today is the task of forecasting the market
movements by examining the financial time series data as correctly as possible in order to
hedge against the almost incalculable risk involved and to yield better profits for investors. If
there was a highly credible estimation technique available giving better results than the
traditional statistical tools for financial markets, it would be a great asset for trading decision
makers of all kinds such as speculators, arbitrageurs, portfolio fund managers and even
individual investors. In this study CART, C4.5 and Random Forest algorithms were used to
predict the movement direction of a 10 year Istanbul Stock Exchange index (XU-100). Ten
technical market indicators such as momentum, MACD and RSI were used in this study as
the feature set.
Keywords: Price movement direction, CART, C4.5, Random Forest, forecasting, stock
market.
1. INTRODUCTION
The complex dynamism of the markets is characterized by the nonlinearity and
nonparametric nature of the variables influencing the index movement directions including
human psychology and political events. The unpredictable volatility of the market index
makes it a highly challenging task to accurately forecast its path of movement. On the other
hand, it is crucial for investors to estimate the trend of the markets as precisely as possible in
order to reach the best trading decisions for their investments, so in this context it is in the
investor's best interest to use the most accurate time series forecasting model to maximize the
profit or to minimize the risk. By means of this study, it is aimed at contributing to the
demonstration and verification of the XU-100 index movement path predictability through
some tree algorithms. The stochastic performance parameter is accuracy and it is defined as
the ratio of the correctly classified instances divided by the number of all instances. The
remaining part of this study is organized into four sections. The next section presents an
overview of the theoretical literature while in section 3 the research data and the structures of
tree algorithms CART, C4.5, Random Forest is described. In section 4, the reports and results
of empirical findings from the comparative WEKA analysis are given. Finally, the last
section contains the concluding remarks.

�2. Literature Review
CART review
The classification tree analysis CART (classification and regression trees) is suggested first
by Breiman (1984) and uses the predictor variables splitting rule to build a binary decision
tree (Denison, Mallick and Smith, 1998). The CART method is experimented in the credit
scoring area, retail lending and evaluation of insurance risks in workers’ compensation
showing better results than logistic regression and discriminant analysis (Friedman 1991,
Devaney 1994, Lee 2006, Kolyshkina 2002).
C4.5 review
The C4.5 method is high in efficiency when used for inductive inference. Recent research has
shown that this algorithm produces high accuracy in image segmentation (Polat and Gunes,
2009; Mazid, Ali and Tickle, 2010). In another work a hybrid approach including C4.5 is
suggested with potentially high outcomes (Jiang and Yu, 2009; Mazid, Ali and Tickle, 2010).
It is also used for classification of remote sensing data (Yu and Ai, 2009; Mazid, Ali and
Tickle, 2010). Another variant of C4.5 successfully trimmed down the leaf node number and
improved accuracy (Yang, 2009; Mazid, Ali and Tickle, 2010).
Random Forest review
High-dimensional classification and regression problems can be approached by using random
forest algorithm that is extensively researched by Breiman (2001). Among the machine
learning techniques used to predict markets random forest is quite successful (Dietterich,
2000). Though the practicality of random forest is excellent it is hard to interpret and clarify
mathematically (Breiman, 2002; Lin and Jeon, 2006; Biau et al., 2008, Biau and Devroye,
2008).
3. Materials and Methods
CART method
CART constructs a tree where the data is separated into two parts by binary variable splits.
The best divider variable and the best point to split is determined by variance minimization.
The CART algorithm can be viewed as a classification procedure consisting of four distinct
parts:
Part 1: a variance criterion,
Part 2: the criterion how good it is split,
Part 3: the terminal node class assignments and estimates of resubstitution,
Part 4: determining the right tree complexity (Buyukbebeci, 2009).
375

�The root node, internal nodes and leaf (terminal) nodes constitute the CART tree. Two child
nodes follow each root and internal node. Each node contains and is defined by the subset of
the original learning sample. The splitting of each node into child nodes is characterized by a
certain rule depending on the chosen feature. The child nodes inherit subsamples with
minimum variance that measures their heterogeneity from parent nodes (Iscanoglu, 2005).
The goodness of the splitting procedure is defined by an impurity function that is derived
from a a variance function which is applied to each split point indicating the best point for
splitting (Iscanoglu, 2005).
Gini, Entropy and Twoing are the main rules for binary recursive splitting that are derived
from the impurity function (Breiman, Frydman, Olshen and Stone, 1984)
C4.5 Method
In doing classification with C4.5, the concepts of entropy and correlation coefficient need to
be explained in brief. Entropy is a measure of uncertainty among random variables in a
collection of data or in other words entropy provides information about the behavior of
random processes used in data analysis. Correlation coefficient has its uses as a chief
statistical tool in data analysis finding the relationship between variable sets. Different ways
of calculations have been introduced to boost the efficiency of the correlation coefficient
among which are Kendall, Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlation coefficients.There are
several test options with WEKA providing data classification such as training set, supplied
test set, percentage split and cross validation. In this paper, cross validation is chosen as the
test option (Mazid M., Ali S. and Tickle K. (2010).
Random Forest method
Random forests are based on conjoining lots of binary regression trees. In the process of
growing these large number of regression trees independent subsets of variables are used.
Random forests randomly choose variables to split and a bootstrapped sample of the dataset
builds the decision trees (Efron and Tibshirani, 1993). When K trees are aggregated the
predicted decision is gained as the average value over these K trees. Marking each single tree
predictors by
, the final outcome is:
(x)
Research Data
In this study, all experiments were conducted on WEKA software using its tree classifiers
built-in tool to make comparisons of prediction performances based on the chosen dataset.
The dataset is comprised of 10 input variables with 2733 instances in total. These 10 input
attributes are technical market indicators as used by Kara, Boyacioglu and Baykan (2010)
which are 10-day moving average, 10-day weighted moving average, momentum, stochastic
%K, stochastic %D, RSI (Relative Strength Index), MACD (moving average convergence
divergence), Larry William's %R, A/D (Accumulation/Distribution) Oscillator and CCI
376

�(Commodity Channel Index). The total number of cases or 2733 trading days have 1440 days
with increasing direction (advances), while 1293 days show decreasing direction (declines).
In the analysis, 10-fold cross-validation was used as the test option in WEKA.
4. Results and Discussion
The relevance and quality of the data, usually, has a big impact on the performance of the
model used. Thus, the choice of data becomes the most important part in forecasting the
markets. In this study, all series are real-valued and the input data spans from 02/01/1997 to
31/12/2007. For WEKA testing, the accuracy or correctly classified instances metric is
utilized, showing the ability of the model to capture the data. The dataset with 10 features is
tested using CART, C4.5 and Random Forest classifiers in order to see which tree algorithm
has better predictive power over the others. The results of the tests can be seen in the Table 1
where CART and Random Forest classifiers have almost identical prediction power, whereas
C4.5 has a little less prediction power compared to the other two tree algorithms.

5. CONCLUSION
The issue of accurately predicting the stock market price movement direction is highly
important for formulating the best market trading solutions. It is fundamentally affecting buy
and sell decisions of an instrument that can be lucrative for investors. This study focuses on
predicting the ISE National 100 closing price movement directions using tree algorithms
based on the daily data from 1997 to 2007. Even though the prediction performance of tree
classifiers such as CART, random forest and C4.5 do not really outperform studies alike in
literature, it is still likely that the forecasting performance of the models can still be improved
by doing the followings: Either the model parameters should be adjusted by thorough
experimentation or the input variable sets need to be modified by selecting those input
attributes that are more realistic in reflecting the market workings. (Kara, Boyacioglu, and
Baykan, 2010) had already proved the significance of using ten particular technical market
indicators which gave also about %78 accuracy in this study, as well. More appropriate

�variables has to be found that may improve the forecasting performance of the models
employed that can be a further subject of study for interested readers.

Abstract
Even though many new data mining techniques have been introduced in prediction
estimation, there is still no single best solution to all financial problems. In this study, an
artificial neural network (ANN) model is utilized for predicting price index returns through
regression. Ten technical market indicators, seven macroeconomic variables, a couple of
other international market indices and a sliding window of ten inputs make up the 30
attributes used in this study. Different combinations of attribute sets is experimented with
different ANN model parameter values to find the highest forecasting accuracy.
Keywords: Price index return, ANN, Forecasting, Data Mining Techniques.
1. INTRODUCTION
While there are certain techniques to forecast in which direction the market would be moving
or what price levels would be expected, empirical evidence shows that some models work
better than the others in different cases (Satchell, 2005). It is of utmost importance for
investors to estimate the trend of the markets as precisely as possible in order to reach the
best trading decisions for their investments, so in this context it is in the investor's best
interest to use the most accurate time series forecasting model to maximize the profit or to
minimize the risk. All in all, it is a quite challenging job to make accurate predictions of stock
market index movements and model the time series data, especially in highly volatile markets
such as the Turkish stock market. That is due to the fact that stock markets are in general
chaotic and complex mechanisms with dynamic, nonlinear and nonparametric variables
(Abu-Mostafa and Atiya, 1996).
Moreover, markets are influenced by numerous
macroeconomic factors, institutional investor choices, human psychology, political events,
company policies, other stock market movements and economic affairs (Tan, Quek, and See,
2007). In this study, the ISE National 100 Index (XU-100) has been chosen for data analysis,
since the Turkish stock market is a relatively young emerging market and it has presented an
outstanding growth rate since its establishment in the late 80's. There is lots of empirical
work available in literature on well established and developed markets such as Dow Jones
(USA) or DAX (Germany), whereas little research material is available on new emerging
markets such as ISE (Kara, Boyacioglu, and Baykan, 2010). The Istanbul Stock Exchange is
highly volatile in terms of market returns, a feature which is attracting many local and
367

�international investors worldwide seeking for high return possibilities (Armano, Marchesi,
and Murru, 2005). By means of this study, it is aimed at contributing to the demonstration
and verification of the XU-100 index price level predictability through ANN. The related
predicting performances are compared based on statistical criteria such as relative absolute
error (RAE), root relative squared error (RRSE) and the squared value of the correlation
coefficient
The remaining part of this study is organized into four sections. The next
section presents an overview of the theoretical literature while in section 3 the research data
and the structure of ANN is described. In section 4, the reports and results of empirical
findings from the comparative analysis are given. Finally, the last section contains the
concluding remarks.
2. Literature Review
There are various ANN methods that can be used in predicting stock price returns and a great
deal of research has been conducted on using ANN to forecast financial time series data
outputs suggesting ANN as a powerful tool in predicting stock market return (Avci, 2007;
Karaatli, 2005). Chen, Leung and Daouk (2003) used the probabilistic neural network (PNN)
which showed strong predictive power over other models such as the GMM-Kalman filter
and random walk. Diler (2003) who trained back propagation neural networks, based the
input attributes on some technical market indicators like momentum, moving average,
moving average convergence divergence (MACD), RSI and stochastic %K and forecasted the
ISE 100 index direction with % 60.81 accuracy while Altay and Satman (2005) also used
ISE-30 and ISE-ALL indices to see the performances of several neural network models. Cao,
Leggio, and Schniederjans (2005) effectively proved that multivariate neural networks could
outperform the linear models for stock price movement predictions of Shanghai Stock
Exchange listed companies.
3. Materials and Methods
3.1 Research Data
In this study, all experiments were conducted on WEKA software using its MLP built-in tool
to make comparisons of prediction performances based on the chosen dataset. The full dataset
is comprised of 30 input variables in total. The first 10 input attributes are technical market
indicators as used by Kara, Boyacioglu and Baykan (2010) which are 10-day moving
average, 10-day weighted moving average, momentum, stochastic %K, stochastic %D, RSI
(Relative Strength Index), MACD (moving average convergence divergence), Larry
William's %R, A/D (Accumulation/Distribution) Oscillator and CCI (Commodity Channel
Index). Another 10 inputs are mainly chosen from macroeconomic variables, consisting of
USD(sell)-Turkish Lira exchange rate, gold price (close), monthly interest rate, CPI
(consumer price index), WPI (wholesale price index), PPI (producer price index), Industrial
368

�Production Index, DJI (Dow Jones) closing price, DAX (Germany) closing price and
BOVESPA (Brazil) closing price. These variables are slightly differently chosen than
Boyacioglu and Avci (2010)'s input variables. The final 10 inputs are a sliding window of the
last 10 elements of XU-100 closing price index. In Yumlu and Gurgen (2005) an input
window size of seven was used but it is preferred to use the last 10 elements in this study. For
the regression analysis, 10-fold cross-validation was used as the test option in WEKA.
3.2 Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Model
Artificial neural networks are capable estimation models for financial modeling and
prediction (Kara, Boyacioglu, and Baykan, 2010). In this study, a three layered feed-forward
ANN structure (a multilayer perceptron) is used to forecast stock market index movements.
Multilayer perceptrons (MLP) have one or more layers between input and output layers,
called hidden layers, that can approximate any nonlinear relation to any accuracy given
sufficiently large number of neurons. The nonlinearity used in the nodes provides MLP with
a universal approximation power. “It has been scientifically proved that a three-layered MLP
using sigmoidal activation function can approximate well any continuous multivariate
function to any accuracy.” (Du and Swamy, 2006). MLP shows high efficiency in function
approximation for high-dimensional spaces. It has clear advantage over linear regression
methods in that the input dimensionality does not affect the error convergence rate, while
conventional linear regression methods suffer from the size of dimensionality. The most
popular learning rule in supervised learning is the back propagation learning algorithm which
is used to train the neural network. In order to minimize a cost function that is equivalent to
MSE (mean squared error) between the desired and actual network outputs, a gradient search
method is utilized. An input pattern is introduced to the system and the resulting computed
output is compared with the actual given output (target output). The error of each calculated
output is propagated backward that establishes a closed-loop control system which adjusts
weights by a gradient-descend based algorithm (Du and Swamy, 2006).
4. Results and Discussion
The relevance and quality of the data, usually, has a big impact on the performance of the
model used. Thus, the choice of data becomes the most important part in forecasting the
markets. In this study, all series are real-valued and the input data spans from 02/01/1997 to
31/12/2007. For WEKA testing, the statistical model adequacy metrics relative absolute error
(RAE), root relative squared error (RRSE), and the square of the correlation coefficient
are utilized, showing the ability of the model to capture the data. A dataset of 10, 20 and
30 inputs are tested in order to see which attribute set have better predictive power over the
others. Table 1 and 2 prove the effectiveness of the sliding window when used together with
technical indicator inputs creating much lower error values.

5.CONCLUSION
371

�The issue of accurately predicting the stock market price levels is highly important for
formulating the best market trading solutions. It is fundamentally affecting buy and sell
decisions of an instrument that can be lucrative for investors. This study focuses on
predicting the ISE National 100 closing price levels using ANN based on the daily data from
1997 to 2007. The experimental results give us some very important clues. Firstly, ANN
shows superior predicting power in forecasting the stock market price level index. MLP
presents 0.39 % RAE in its best case, which is a perfectly good outcome. Even though the
prediction performance of ANN outperforms studies alike in literature, it is still likely that the
forecasting performance of the model can still be improved by doing the followings: Either
the model parameters should be adjusted by thorough experimentation or the input variable
sets need to be modified by selecting those input attributes that are more realistic in reflecting
the market workings. (Kara, Boyacioglu, and Baykan, 2010) had already proved the
significance of using ten particular technical market indicators which gave also good results
in this study, as well. Besides, the use of a sliding window of the last ten elements of the ISE
100 index proved to be an effective tool in forecasting the market level and direction.
However, the seven macroeconomic variables and three other international market indices
were not found to be very useful in this study, which means that more appropriate variables
has to be found that may improve the forecasting performance of the models employed that
can be a further subject of study for interested readers.

Abstract
In this paper, we examine the behavior of stock returns and trading
volume across the-day-of-the-week in the context of the Japanese
Market. Several hypotheses are used to explain the day-of-the-week
effect. Results indicate that Mondays have abnormal losses and low
trading volume. Over other days the returns and the trading volume
increase significantly once the market thickens, prices become more
informative and the information effect diminishes. Our results do not
support the outliers’ hypothesis, the half-of-the-month hypothesis and
the autocorrelation hypothesis. They are, however, consistent with the
adverse selection and the overconfidence hypotheses.

Introduction
Earlier studies on financial framework support widely the efficient market hypothesis
of which one implication “is that the expected returns on assets should be evenly
distributed across the days, weeks, months, years, or any other unit of time” (Tripathy,
2010). However, observations in the international market context (see Cross (1973)
and French (1980) for the US market, Jaffe and Westerfield (1985) for the Japanese
and the Australian markets, Syed and Sadorsky, 2006 for the context of emerging
markets, Agathee (2008) for the Mauritius market, Ulussever, Guranyumusak and
Kar (2011) for the Saudi Arabian market) show that significant variances in assets
returns are associated with the unit of time. The day-of-the-week effect is especially
common and can be observed in the majority of the aforementioned markets. This
specific anomaly constitutes one of several arguments opposing the efficient market
hypothesis.
Several hypotheses are given in theoretical and empirical studies to explain the dayof-the-week influence on stock returns and on trading volume. However, in spite
of the importance of these hypotheses, the investor’s sentiment plays a pivotal role
in the decision process. Overconfidence particularly leads investors with greater
information to make aggressive decisions and to increase their trading volume on
Mondays since they overestimate their knowledge and their judgment skills and
underestimate public information and the skills of those with less information. On
the contrary, these latter act in a more rational way and delay trades until the market
thickens and prices become more informative. Consequently, operations end with
abnormal losses and trading volume decreases on Mondays.
The aim of this paper is to investigate the day-of-the-week effect on the stock return
in the context of the Japanese market. We chose the specific case of the Japanese
market since the Asian population is the most exposed to the overconfidence bias1.
Different hypotheses, of which the overconfidence hypothesis is one, are examined
to explain the day-of-the-week influence on stock returns and trading volume. In
this vein, one question that could have greater importance is:
What explains the influence of the day-of-the-week effect on stock returns and trading
volume?
To find some response to this question we used a sample including returns and
trading volume of the Nikkei 225 index over the period from June 06, 2002 to Mai
10, 2011. Results show that stock returns and trading volume diminish dramatically

on Mondays and increase abnormally over the other days. Results do not support
in any special way the outliers’ hypothesis, the half-of-the-month hypothesis and the
autocorrelation hypothesis. They are, however, consistent with the adverse selection
and the overconfidence hypotheses.
The remainder of the paper proceeds as follows. Section 1 presents the literature
review on the day-of-the-week influence on the stock returns and gives theoretical
explanations. Section 2 summarizes the relationship between the investor’s sentiment
and the distribution of returns and trading volume. Section 3 provides the sources
of the data and a sample selection as well as estimated models. Section 4 contains
empirical results. Concluding remarks are provided in the last section.

The day-of-the-week effect on return and trading volume
Earlier studies concerning major international markets show that returns on assets and
trading volume are not evenly distributed across days, weeks, months or years. This
report is not consistent with the implication of the efficient market hypothesis. In
this vein, Foster and Viswanathan (1993) show that in the context of the US market
Mondays have abnormal losses, high return volatility and low trading volume.
Mondays’ abnormal losses can also be seen in different international markets.
Particularly, empirical studies show that Mondays have abnormally low returns
and Fridays have significantly high returns (see Lakonishok and Smidt (1988) for
the Dow Jones Industrial Average for the period from 1887 to 1986, Keim and
Stambaugh (1984) for the S&amp;P500 returns for the period from 1928 to 1982,
Schwert (1990) using different sources for the period from 1802 to 1987).
Several other authors find that the lowest average returns are observed on Tuesdays
(Solnik and Bousqet (1990) in the French stock market, Athanassakos and Robinson
(1994) in the Canadian market). Similar results are found in the context of Asian
countries (Aggarwal and Rivoli (1989) in the stock markets of Hong Kong, Malaysia
and Philippines, Wong, Hui and Chan (1992) in the markets of Singapore, Malaysia,
Hong Kong, and Thailand, or Kim (1988) in the stock markets of Japan and Korea).
Tuesdays’ low returns are observed also on the Istanbul stock exchange (Balaban,
1995; Bildik, 1997), and several other stock markets such as those of Australia,

Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippine, Singapore, Taiwan
and Thailand (Ho, 1990). The same results are observed in Wong et al. (1992) in
the context of the markets of Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Thailand or in
Dubois and Louvert (1996) for the stock markets of Japan and Australia.
For the Turkish stock market, Balaban (1995) investigated the day-of-the-week effect
over a period dating from January 1988 to August 1994. Results show that Fridays
have high returns and low standard deviations. The day with second highest return
and second lowest standard deviation is Wednesday. Low returns are, oppositely,
observed on Tuesday and high standard deviations on Mondays.
Kiymaz and Berument (2003) examined the trading volume in the Japan, the United
Kingdom and the United States. They found that trading volume on Mondays and
Fridays is on average lower than on other days.
Several hypotheses are used to explain the variability in stock return across the days
the week. Theoretical and empirical studies argue, first of all, that low returns on
Mondays are due to isolated rare events that can be detected using a robust regression
test (see Conolly, 1989). This hypothesis is known as the outliers’ hypothesis.
Moreover, authors Wang, Li and Erickson (1997) distinguish between days of the
first and of the latter half of the month. They consider that the day-of-the-week
effect on the stock return changes according to whether the day comes in the first
or the latter half of the month. Mondays’ low returns are observed especially in the
latter half-of-the-month. This hypothesis is known as the latter-half-of-the-month
hypothesis.
Theoretical and empirical studies argue also that abnormal losses are linked to
the frequency of short sales. They document, moreover, that short sales are more
frequently observed on Mondays. In this sense, Chen and Signal (2003) have
documented that “Monday losses are caused, at least in part, by short sellers unwinding
short positions prior to the weekend and reestablishing short positions on Monday”2.
These authors find in the US market particularly that Monday losses and Friday
abnormal returns increase significantly when stocks have greater short interest.
Moreover several authors such as Bessembinder and Hertzel (1993) have documented
that the autocorrelation between Monday’s return with the prior Friday’s return has
been unusually higher for several decades. This hypothesis is widely confirmed in
empirical studies. Particularly, Boynton, Oppenheimer and Reid (2009) find in the
Japanese market that Mondays have higher AR (1) than other days of the week.

Evidence from the Japanese Stock Market

Investors’ sentiment, returns and trading volume
On the other hand and in the same vein of explanation as the day-of-the-week
influence on stock returns, several studies deal with the relationship between stock
returns and the trading volume. A point of view commonly shared in financial
literature is that there exists a positive correlation between trading volume and prior
stock returns.
Researches in behavior economics and behavioral finance provide some explanation
for this relation. Authors argue that an investor’s sentiment plays a pivotal role in the
stock market. Sentiment beliefs particularly influence the decision process. In this
sense, Chuang, Ouyang and Lo (2010) argue that “investors have a tendency to adjust
their beliefs to the most recent data and to make decisions based on information they have
at the present time. They also extrapolate past experiences into future”.
Investors increase their trading volume when they consider companies to be good
investments. Oppositely, they stop trading when they foresee companies as bad
investments. In this way, past trading volume reflects the investors’ expectations.
According to Chuang et al (2010), “investors would buy securities with good prospects.
If more and more investors extrapolate good news into future, they tend to overvalue these
firms and to invest in them. Their irrational beliefs thus increase trading volume.”
These authors also examined the effect of investor sentiment on stock prices in the
specific context of the Taiwanese stock market. They found that investors usually
observe past trading volume to make future investment decisions. Considering this
result, trading volume can be used as a proxy for measuring investors’ expectations.
In the same line, several authors such as Lee and Swaminathan (2000) have
documented that not only return but also trading volumes are influenced by investor
expectations. Behavioral theory argues, especially, that more informed investors are
more exposed to the overconfidence bias than less informed ones. They overestimate
the precision of their private information and their skills and underestimate public
information and the skills of less informed investors. Consequently, they trade
irrationally and their irrational trading can lead to abnormal variability in trading
volume and consequently on returns. In this vein, “many empirical results show that
the irrational investor behavior not only exist in the stock market but also has significant
influences on the formation of prices” (Chuang et al., 2010).
Taken together these arguments indicate that investors’ sentiments, especially

Volume 2

overconfidence, play a pivotal role in the decision process. They lead investors to
make irrational and aggressive decisions thus increasing trading volume. Since
less informed investor expects this irrational behavior they delay trading, which
dramatically influences the result of the operation.
Data and methodology
The data we used includes daily returns and trading volume on the “Nikkei 225”
index over the period from June 06, 2002 to May 10, 2011. We include all data
corresponding to every trading day. Final sample includes 2176 daily observations.
In order to investigate the influence of the day-of-the-week on the stock returns we
regress returns on each of the day of the week. The estimated equation is:
N

Rt =
α 0 + ∑ α i di + ε t

(1)

i =1

with i = 1, …, 5 (1 : Monday, 2 : Tuesday, 3 : Wednesday, 4 : Thursday, 5 : Friday).

Rt = ln( I[ N ]t ) − ln( I[ N ](t −1) )  ×100 with IN : the Nikkei Index.
ɛt : is the error term.

To investigate the effect of the day of the week on trading volume, we regress this
latter on each of the day of the week. The estimated equation is:
N

Vt =
α 0 + ∑ α i di + ε t

(2)

i =1

With: Vt: the logarithm of the daily trading volume.
We estimate, first of all, both equation (1) and equation (2) using the whole of the
data with daily classification and half-of-the-month classification. This allows us to
test the latter-half-of-the-month hypothesis. To test the outliers’ hypothesis we use,
in a second step, robust regression for the two equations.
The test for the short-sales hypothesis will be, however, withdrawn since there is no
short-sale interest in the Japan.
In the third step we test the autocorrelation hypothesis. In order to do this, we

investigate the relation below:

Rt= α + βt R(t −1) + ε t

(3)

With Rt: the return in the day t.

With: Mo : Monday, Tu : Tuesday, We : Wednesday, Th : Thursday, Fr : Friday.
We test, in the final stage, the adverse selection and the investor’s sentiment
hypothesis (investor’s beliefs and overconfidence sentiment). We investigate,
especially, the impact of investors’ beliefs on the variability of trading volume across
the days of the week. Using the return in the day (t-1) as a proxy, we regress trading
volume across every day (t) on the return of the day (t-1). The estimated equation is:

Figures 1 to 5 show that the volatility of stock returns changes significantly over
the days of the week. The volatility is very high on Mondays and becomes much
lower on Thursdays. Moderate volatility is observed on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and
Fridays. High volatility across all days is observed during the period from December
2007 to October 2008.

Taken together, these results indicate that both stock return volatility and trading
volume volatility remain lower on Tuesdays. Over the other days, the volatility of
both returns and trading volume changes dramatically.

returns decrease significantly on Mondays and increase abnormally starting from
Thursdays. Fridays have a higher positive effect on the stock returns. Abnormal losses
are especially observed on Mondays during the first half of the month. Similarly,
higher Friday returns are observed during the first half of the month. These results
are not consistent with the latter-half-of the-month hypothesis according to which
Mondays’ abnormal losses are shown in the latter half of the month.

Results in table 2 indicate that trading volume decreases abnormally on Mondays and
increase significantly over the other days. Higher effects of the day of the week on
trading volume are, however, observed on Fridays. These results are consistent with the
adverse selection hypothesis. In this sense, individual investors expect that on Mondays
institutional investors, as more informed investors, have greater information and will
exploit their information advantage in trades. Consequently, they (i.e. individual
investors) postpone trades as a best strategy until the market thickens and the prices
become more informative. The delay of trade induces a decrease in trading volume on
Mondays. Starting from Tuesday, the information effect diminishes and prices start to
become more informative. Consequently both institutional and individual investors
trade together which induces an increase in trading volume.

Results in table 3 indicate the persistence of low returns on Mondays even using a
robust regression test. These results challenge the outliers hypothesis according to
which low returns on Mondays are due to isolated rare events that can be detected
using a robust regression test.
Taken together, results associated with the latter-half-of-the-month and with the
outliers hypothesis are consistent with those of Boynton et al (2009), who did not
confirm the two hypotheses.
Table 4 presents results associated with the autocorrelation hypothesis and those
testing the effect of the investors’ expectation on returns and on trading volume.

Results in table 4 indicate that only Tuesdays have a significant
AR(1). Mondays’ returns have negative effects on those of Tuesdays
(α RMo ( t −1) / RTh ( t ) =
− 0,1137036; t RMo ( t −1) / RTh ( t ) =
− 2, 42) . These results challenge the
autocorrelation hypothesis according to which Mondays have higher AR(1) than
other days and which is confirmed in the context of the Japanese market by Boynton
et al. (2009).
These results can be explained considering the investor’s sentiment (investor’s
beliefs and the overconfidence hypothesis). On Mondays the overconfident
investors overestimate the precision of their knowledge and their judgment skills.
They underestimate, at the same time, the public information and the skills of less
informed investors. They make, consequently, aggressive decisions and increase their
trading volume. Since the less informed investors act in a rational way, they delay
trading and the operation ends with abnormal losses. Once the prices become more
informative, the less informed investors change their strategy and increase their
trading volume. Operations end, consequently, with higher gains.

�Conclusion
We can conclude from our analysis that stock returns and trading volume are not
evenly distributed across time. Mondays have abnormal losses and Fridays have
higher returns. Trading volume decreases abnormally on Mondays and increases
significantly over the other days.
Results, using the NIKKEI 225 data for return and trading volume over a period
from June 06, 2002 to May 10, 2011 show that stock returns and trading volume
diminish dramatically on Mondays and increase abnormally over the other days.
Results do not support, particularly, the outliers’ hypothesis, the half-of-the-month
hypothesis and the autocorrelation hypothesis. They are, however, consistent with
the adverse selection and the overconfidence hypotheses. In this sense, information
plays a pivotal role in the decision process. More informed investors overestimate
the precision of their knowledge and their judgment skills and underestimate public
information and the skills of the less informed investors. They therefore make
aggressive decisions and increase their trading volume. On the other hand, less
informed investors postpone trades since they know that on Mondays the more
informed investors will exploit their information advantage in trades. The delay of
trade driven by the less informed investors’ behavior induces a decrease in returns
on Mondays.

1 In this sense, psychologists have demonstrated that the Asian population exhibits overconfidence
in general knowledge (see Yates, Lee and Shinotsuka (1996) and Yates, Lee and Bush (1997) for
more details). This specifically implies, among other things, that Asian investors may suffer from
psychological biases of which one is the overconfidence bias.

                <text>In this paper, we examine the behavior of stock returns and trading  volume across the-day-of-the-week in the context of the Japanese  Market. Several hypotheses are used to explain the day-of-the-week  effect. Results indicate that Mondays have abnormal losses and low  trading volume. Over other days the returns and the trading volume  increase significantly once the market thickens, prices become more  informative and the information effect diminishes. Our results do not  support the outliers’ hypothesis, the half-of-the-month hypothesis and  the autocorrelation hypothesis. They are, however, consistent with the  adverse selection and the overconfidence hypotheses.</text>

The main goal of this paper is to scientifically examine and propose new
approach of stock selection and analysis based on multivariate technique, i.e.
discriminant analysis, in order to help investors, individual and institutional, in
their decision making process, especially in case of underdeveloped capital
markets. These markets are generally characterized by low market
capitalization, poor liquidity and turnover, weak legal protection for minority
shareholders, low correlation with developed and emerging capital markets,
etc. All of this directly determines investment decision making process on one
hand and on the other may have crucial impact on portfolio performance as
well. Therefore, in this paper we investigate the cross—sectional relation
between the independent variables of the model, comprised of beta
coefficient and some fundamental (market values, price to earnings ratio, etc.)
variables and the average stock returns, as dependent variable, on the
underdeveloped capital market of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Basically, capital
market of Bosnia and Herzegovina is characterized by territorial division, the
incompatibility of entity institutions and of legal regulations; which negatively
affect the investment climate and the liquidity of securities. Therefore, in this
paper, we created the sample which consists of stocks traded on capital
market of Bosnia and Herzegovina, both on the Sarajevo Stock Exchange and
the Banja Luka Stock Exchange, during the period of January 2004 to December
2012. Based on the realized historical returns, we split issuers into two groups.
The first group consists of those stocks whose returns were in the top quintile
(highest returns), and the second one consists of those stocks whose returns
were in the lowest quintile (lowest returns). The main limitations of this study
are to be found in the shorter available financial time series in newly formed
capitalistic economy, missing data due to the lack of collective records on
levels of securities offerings issues.
Keywords: Discriminant Analysis, Stock Selection, Stock Return, Beta
Coefficient, Capital Market of Bosnia And Herzegovina.
