Summary/Abstract: The article deals with some issues that are relevant for the proper definition of the concept of "public interest" and hence its outline of its nature, meaning and role in the criminal process. It is concluded that the public interest, which is by no means identical with the so-called public pressure is conditioned by the socio-economic and social development of civil society and is a prime guarantee for the legitimate protection of a democratic society from adverse management decisions, including in the area of criminal policy.
