Abstract:

Suppressing organized crime is one of the main contemporary challenges for states striving to prevent it. It is an ongoing, "never-ending" cycle of reforming their normative frameworks. This article critically analyzes the adequacy of the positive legal norms regulating the effective suppression of organized crime in Serbia based on research conducted in the Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime. A specially designed instrument was used to collect primary data: a questionnaire consisting of eight questions. The research aims to assess the adequacy of new legal solutions in combating organized crime and the effectiveness of their application. The findings indicate that the new legal solutions are both legally and politically justified and that adequate cooperation has been established between the competent entities to ensure an even more effective fight against organized crime as a significant security threat.
