Summary/Abstract: In contemporary conditions all states and the international community at large are facing various forms of criminal behavior infringing on or jeopardizing the most fundamental social goods and values. A particularly dangerous social phenomenon of the 20th century is organized transnational crime, which knows no barriers between the states. In confronting this type of crime, classical methods, means and procedures cannot provide expected results. Therefore, in their criminal codes, all countries today define specific measures – investigating procedures, expected to provide assistance in finding out, proving and suppressing these particularly dangerous forms of crime. Among such specific investigating procedures, most attention among professionals and public at large is given to the institute of “protected witness”, whose characteris- tics are the topic of this paper.
