Abstract

Transnational organized crime is present in almost all spheres of life and work. The European Union has faced that problem since its creation in the 1990’s (The Maastricht Treaty) and it has become an ever-increasing threat to the security of Member States, and thus affects European Union’s activities and policies. As the risk from organized crime had become greater, the Member States developed a stronger response to organized crime. The integrated approach guiding the action of the European Union extends from prevention to law enforcement, including cooperation of Member States, especially the law enforcement agencies, the exchange of information, cooperation between joint work groups, etc. The Republic of Serbia, as a candidate country for EU membership, is expected to continually improve its national legislative and administrative framework, as well as to develop a comprehensive strategic overview of organized crime in the country. Therefore, regarding constitutional aspects, we should bear in mind few connected issues. These are, when we have in mind Serbia: relationship between constitutional order and international public law, human rights protection, strengthening judicial system through Constitutional amendments. At the very end, before the conclusion, the author provides an overview of the state of play in the fight against transnational organized crime in Serbia, based on the annual report of the European Union
