It is therefore incumbent on the challenge and threat of terrorism swiftly responded by the international community, including the United Nations, European Union and the Council of Europe. Implementation of their resolutions, decisions and conventions required the updating of substantive criminal law in many countries, Serbia and forthcoming legislative changes in this regard. Such harmonizing regulations at the global, regional and national level tend to basic goal - to criminalize terrorist activity uniformly and comprehensively.
