The article provides a comparative analysis of the legislative proposals contained in the Draft Code on Obligations and Contracts and the Predraft of the Civil Code of the Republic of Serbia. The text explains the historical development of the life care contract in Serbian legislation and the circumstances that formed it and placed it into codification devoted to law on inheritance. The author is strongly critical of the proposals in the Predraft because its authors did not take advantage of the opportunity to create new rules that would be adequate in contemporary circumstances, but rather copied the existing rules of the Law on Inheritance, which have long been recognized as deficient in certain aspects. The author concludes that the life care contract deserves a new and more comprehensive legislative regime, which would respond to practical needs and solve existing dilemmas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Serbia as a member of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia had the Law on General Administrative Procedure since 1930, only five years after Austria who was the first country in the world which codified administrative procedure 1925. This Law was applicable till the end of the World War II. A socialist Yugoslavia adopted its first law on general administrative procedure in 1956. This Law was amended several times, but never substantial. Instead, they carried out minor changes and amendments to this Act, mostly concerning only terminology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
