Summary/Abstract: Social sources of the threat to the capacity of security system pose great problem to each state and its citizens, and of course, for the region. Therefore the author points to and analyzes the most prominent social sources of the threat to the capacity of the modern state security system. Basic form of the express of threat relates to the endangerment of the existing freedom. The endangerment can be achieved by the destructive action of the natural or social force to a certain phenomenon, accidental or deliberate, targeted and purposeful – i.e. with the intention to provoke certain consequences on nature or society, that is on man. All modern security systems, no matter how and with what purpose are they organized, represent the form of the organization of the society in the protection of its vital interests and values. Their organization is based on two essential questions: from whom and from what should we protect the society, and how we should direct the subjects of the security system in order to achieve the basic goal of the existence of the society. Discrimination, that is, the social forms of endangerment of the capacity of the democratic state occurs in several forms: genocide, apartheid, segregation, neoracism or economic racism, international status and demographic development.
