The purpose of this study is to present the results of a research conducted on the administrative capacity of district administrations in Bulgaria. The object of the study is the internal organizational functioning of district administrations in terms of the concept of continuously improving the work processes and increasing the administrative capacity. The study is based on an objective methodology developed by the team of authors, which includes a multicriterial system for administrative capacity assessment. The results obtained are a basis for presenting some best practices and making recommendations for future activities aimed at setting standards for quality and efficiency of the processes in these territorial structures. The main research thesis is that Bulgarian public sector has a significant potential for improvement and standardization of its internal organizational processes, which in the long term affects not only the quality of the public services provided, but also the district development.

This study examines the processes of harmonization of tax systems and double taxation avoidance problems within the European Union, with the understanding that tax harmonization is essential for the efficiency of the common economic policy within the European Community. It gives an overview of the dynamics and integration proc¬esses within the EU, the harmonization specifics related to direct and indirect taxation and the need for double taxation avoidance within the EU. This scientific study traces the sequence of processes involved in searching for practical recommendations when making decisions in the area of fiscal policy by the Member States, aimed at building a common European space.

  VERSION CONTROL SYSTEMS: EVOLUTION, CONCEPT, COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

  Modern software is becoming increasingly complex while trying to fully meet the incessantly growing requirements of customers. Therefore, one of the main challenges facing software project management is the scalability of the development process so that it involves multiple developers regardless of their geographic location, and so that it does ... Modern software is becoming increasingly complex while trying to fully meet the incessantly growing requirements of customers. Therefore, one of the main challenges facing software project management is the scalability of the development process so that it involves multiple developers regardless of their geographic location, and so that it does not affect the quality of the resulting software system. Version control systems are crucial for the achievement of this goal. There are many version control systems offered on the market, thus making it difficult for project managers to select the right solution for their needs because many factors should be considered, such as: the integrated development environment used, the number of team participants, the complexity of the project, etc. The purpose of this study is to develop a multi-factor methodology for version control systems assessment by: analysing the IDEs based on a study of their capacity through building a relevant test laboratory environment; developing an appropriate methodology for selecting version control system environments; applying the developed methodology for assessing the most popular version control software products. We propose a set of assessment indicators, organized into four groups according to the specific nature and variety of the studied characteristics.
