Summary/Abstract: Prof. dr Bogoljub Milosavljević in the new BCSP publication analyzes how the security system of the Republic of Serbia is regulated in the Constitution of 2006 and gives recommendations for its improvement, taking in account lessons learned from Serbian constitutional tradition, as well as exemplary comparative solutions in this area. The 2006 Constitution of the Republic of Serbia regulates a number of issues in connection with the security system of the Republic of Serbia. However, it fails to define all elements of the system or to offer reliable premises for concluding what the security system represents in terms of organization and function, who manages it and how, or how the democratic and civil control and public oversight of the actors in the system are ensured. The term “security system” is not even mentioned in the text of the Constitution, which, furthermore, uses very inconsistent terminology regarding security.
