Summary/Abstract: Contemporary terrorism has been in constant expansion primarily in respect of its quality. Due to the constants which generate it, it renews itself in cycles, each time with additional elements of surprise. With the continued use of new, more sophisticated and effective methods and forms of actions, contemporary terrorism (international, but also nationalist, local forms of terrorism) can have different short- and long-term effects, especially when this kind of criminal acts is combined with subversive propaganda. On the basis of the above, it is clear that, in the contemporary conditions, terrorism is not only the most brutal form of violence, as usually thought and named, but also frequently the planned, overall and continued conflict most often between destructive subjects and the current authorities of a State (but also between States).
