On behalf of the Editorial Board of the journal "The Opole Studies in Administration and Law" I would like to express my sincere thanks to the outgoing, long-term Editor-in-Chief of OSAP, Prof. Włodzimierz Kaczorowski, for his great merits in continuous improvement of the journal's rank and making it a periodical of high substantive and formal value, applying the highest standards of scientific integrity. Professor Włodzimierz Kaczorowski not only created the journal, but also gave it a proper shape, taking care to maintain the discipline of publishing, thanks to which the journal "The Opole Studies in Administration and Law", in spite of increasingly higher expectations placed on scientific journals, is constantly present in the publishing space in the area of legal sciences. In managing the publishing works - despite difficult moments in the several-year history of the journal - Professor Kaczorowski has always been accompanied by an extraordinary culture, including the culture of speech, a sense of humour and an enviable steadfastness.

Having made an attempt to continue the original intentions of my predecessor, I accept the obligation to develop the scientific potential of "The Opole Studies in Administration and Law" and to strengthen its national and international recognition. On behalf of the Editorial Board and myself, I would like to thank Prof. Włodzimierz Kaczorowski for leading the Editorial College and his cordial cooperation.
