Summary/Abstract: Organized crime, as a global scale modern pathological phenomenon, is not an exception even in modern Bosnia and Herzegovina. In this text, author is analyzing etiology and the state of organized crime in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina. Relevant statistical data on specific crimes and their trends in recent years are, within this context, presented and analyzed. However, rather slow detection of this phenomenon in Bosnia and Herzegovina is the source of insecurity of citizens and of the entire society. This directly or indirectly stems from the inside of the political paradigm with leading local oriented etatistic elites ahead and from the long-term transition process of the very state of B&H as well.
