Summary/Abstract: Terrorism represents one of the most serious threats to the safety of modern society on both – global as well as national level and criminal offences with the elements of terrorism are prescribed by criminal legislation of individual states as well as in international documents of universal and regional character. In spite of numerous theoretical and legal definitions of the actual term “terrorism”, the specific difference between this crime and other politically motivated illegal acts cannot always be determined with certainty. The authors of this paper attempt to analyze terrorism from politicological and legal point of view having in mind the complexity of this phenomenon and its tight correlation with other criminal offences. The aim of politicological analysis is to determine what comprises differentia specifica between terrorism and other similar acts, whereas legal analysis is focused on the review of the most important international legal sources pertinet to the prevention, punishing and suppression and of terrorist acts on one hand and on legal consequences of terrorism and activities related to terrorism in accordance with current criminal law of the Republic of Serbia.
