Summary/Abstract: The European Union is a place of freedom, security and justice, and that is why the European Union seeks to develop and maintain a genuine area of justice. This is achieved through various mechanisms of harmonization of the legal acts of the European Union and national acts of the Member States of the Union. The cooperation of the states within the criminal justice system is realized through various forms of regional cooperation, both for the needs of the criminal proceedings in progress and for achieving the goals after the final debate on a specific criminal offense. Because of that Framework Decision 2008/675 / PUP of 24 July 2008 on the respect of judgments between the Member States of the European Union in the new criminal procedure was adopted. For the first time in Case C-171/16, Trajan Beškov against the Sofia District Procurator (District Court, Sofia, Bulgaria), the Court of the European Union has discussed about Framework Decision 2008/675/PUP. The paper presents the analysis of the Framework Decision and the mentioned judgment, and emphasized the importance of both of them for the development of criminal law in the European Union.
