NOVA KONCEPCIJA KRIVIČNIH DELA TERORIZMA U KRIVIČNOM ZAKONIKU REPUBLIKE SRBIJE
NEW CONCEPT OF CRIMINAL ACTS OF TERRORISM IN THE CRIMINAL CODE OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA

Summary/Abstract: The Law on Amendments to the Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia dated December 2012 is characterised by the expansion of the scope of criminal law repression, particularly regarding criminal acts of terrorism. Observing the contemporary trends in comparative criminal law, we recognize a stage of hypertrophy of incriminations in the field of fight against terrorism. On the one hand there is an increased number of criminal acts of terrorism, and on the other hand, there are serious penalties in accordance with the recommendations of the referent international sources. It is obvious that the increased repression represents a consequence of escalation of terrorist acts all around the world. The above said becomes most obvious regarding the criminal acts incriminated in Articles 391a and 391b of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia. These are threatening crimes which actually represent a criminalization in the early stage. The starting basis of new factual conditions are the behaviours typical for preparations which the legislator raises to the same level as commitment, or the activities which represent the instigation which are prescribed as an individual criminal offence.
