“…Katrs no izaicinājumiem ir saistīts ar iestādes vadītāja kompetenci, prasmēm un iemaņām, kuru neesamība apdraud ne tikai izglītības iestādes (un līdz ar ko visas izglītības sistēmas) darbību, bet apdraud arī pašu iestādes vadītāju. Piemēram, publisko iepirkumu sfēra ir cieši saistīta ar korupcijas riskiem un kukuļošanu, uz ko norāda ne tikai zinātniskā literatūra (Krivins, 2018), bet arī iestāžu vadītāju intervijas (Krivins, 2014). Gadījumā, ja nezināšana vai prasmju neesība Eiropas Savienības struktūrfondu griezumā kriminalizēsies (Remeikiene, Gaspareniene, Fedajev, Raistenskis, & Krivins, 2022), tad iestādes vadītājs var tikt saukts pie kriminālatbildības (Teivāns-Treinovskis, Jefimovs, Velika, & Kriviņš, 2022).…”

The research analyses the problem of recruiting managers of educational institutions, paying special attention to the leadership aspect. The topicality of the article is related to the fact that in the Republic of Latvia positions of this level require the holding of job competitions, which is why the mentioned competitions are held regularly. The research novelty: interdisciplinary research analyzing scientific articles, Latvia's education policy documents and normative legal acts, announcements of job competitions in the official publication of the Republic of Latvia "Latvijas Vestnesis" - using comparison, deduction and induction methods were carried out. A summative content analysis was performed. The research aim is to find out to what extent the leadership aspects are taken into account in job contests (for the management of education institutions - rector of a higher education institution or a director of college). 70 advertisements (in competitions for the position of higher education institution rector) for the period from 2004 to 2023, as well as 18 advertisements (in competitions for the position of college director) for the period from 2008 to 2022 were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that, despite the content of regulatory legal acts, the demand for leadership positions as a tender announcer is extremely rare. The authors of the article propose to normatively strengthen the obligation of the organizer of the job competition to include the leadership requirement as mandatory, as well as to develop a system of leadership tests at the national level.

The phenomenon of cigarette smuggling and corruption has become a very sensitive topic for responsible law enforcement authorities and reporting entities. The issue needs to be addressed effectively and systematically regardless of the overall economic, financial and fiscal situation in the country. Preventing and mitigating the constant threat posed by criminal activities is of particular importance. In this context, financial institutions and non-financial professions are required to comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The article deals with the extent of corruption prevalence and reasons for prosperity in Albania, as a Western Balkans country, which has been little studied in the scientific literature. Albania is characterized by very high levels of perceived corruption, which manifests itself at all levels of government. Both petty and grand forms of corruption are prevalent in the country, while political corruption affects the quality of the democratic processes. The health sector, customs and tax officials are often referred to as the most corrupt institutions, followed by the police and the judiciary. Other problem faced by Albania is the illegal trade of tobacco considered as one of the major issues for Albanian law enforcement; it poses a multitude of challenges and issues beyond the ones discussed for legal tobacco consumption. The method of a representative quantitative survey was chosen for the empirical research, interviewing 1000 respondents from the age of 18 and more. The main findings and results of the research have been found: the scales of cigarette smuggling as well as the links between cigarette smuggling and corruption, money laundering and organized crime have not been evaluated, but macroeconomical analysis has shown that these phenomena are closely linked and feed each other. In Albania the public are beginning to realize that namely they tolerate the illegal phenomenon and, as a result, suffer from poorer economic well-being of their families.
