Activities of Intelligence Services as a Synonymous of Fear and Intimidation

Summary/Abstract: Intelligence services are an important factor of national security. Their main role is to collect, pro-cess, analyze, and disseminate information on threats to the state and its population. Because of their “dark” activity, intelligence services for many ordinary citizens are synonymous of violence, fear and intimidation. This mostly comes out in the Republic of Kosovo, due to the mur-derous activities of the Serbian secret service in the past. Therefore, we will treat the work of intelli-gence services in democratic conditions, so that the reader can understand what is legitimate and legal of these services. In different countries of the world, security challenges continue to evolve and progress every day, and to fulfil these challenges, the state needs new ways of coordinating and developing the capabil-ity to shape the national security environment. However, the increase of intelligence in many coun-tries has raised debates about legal and ethical issues regarding intelligence activities. Therefore, this paper will include a clear explanation of the term, meaning, process, transparency and secrecy, and the role that intelligence services have in analyzing potential threats to national security. The study is based on a wide range of print and electronic literature, including academic and scien-tific literature, and other documents of various intelligence agencies of developed countries.
